I understood that it was going to use the screen and not the light. Every time you click on anything though, or even look at the screen funny, it pops up a stupid ad. It makes the app absolutely useless. To make it worse, the ads are almost entirely bright red so if my eyes have adjusted to the night, it blinds me every 10 seconds. Stay away!!! ### 1/5 — 全是广告 *2023-06-20* 垃圾想钱想疯了叭 一会一个广告 用几毛啊 ### 1/5 — The worst *2023-06-17, version 2.5.1* Barely works. Changes color automatically without removing. Ads all the time. Useless ### 1/5 — Nulle *2023-06-15* Là pub ressort toutes les 5 secondes impossible d’utiliser, l’application ne mérite pas d’exister, c’est une perte du temps pour ceux qui cherchent une torche de dépannage. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — So many ads *2026-01-30, version 2.6* Terrible app. Got blinded. Was trying to use at night and I kept getting ads and it would randomly blind me. ### 1/5 — Terrible Ads *2025-06-09, version 2.6* Ads make it unusable. Don’t waste your time trying. ### 1/5 — Too may ad disruptions *2025-03-08, version 2.6* 👎 ### 1/5 — Self defeating app *2024-09-28, version 2.6* The intended purpose was to use it as a nightlight when getting up at night so as not to wake the wife but the LOUD! advertisements makes it useless. ### 1/5 — Very poor app don’t wast your time *2024-06-14* While trying to use the very small controls ads pop up literally every 5 sec. Cover the entire screen including the color setting controls making you have to stop close the ad but the second you touch the controls again another ad pops up ad blocks you. On a scale of 1-10 if give this app a negative 50. ### 1/5 — Constant ads *2024-06-03* … ### 1/5 — Schlecht! *2023-12-27* Funktioniert überhaupt nichts! Bei einfacher Berührung jedes Mal Werbung. ### 1/5 — Killer ads *2023-12-03, version 2.5.1* Too many ads to fight. Uninstalling ### 1/5 — Needs much improvement *2023-10-01, version 2.5.1* The code needs to be rewritten for this app. When you open the app, it starts with an ad that takes up the whole screen. That’s OK and I expected that. The problem is that while using the app, it will jump back to a full screen ad, and that causes the light to dim. What’s more is that some of the ads contain audio such as music. So when I’m trying to sneak out of the room so I don’t wake up my little kid, the light will suddenly go dim because a random ad pops up. Then I kick a toy or step on a crumpled piece of paper and make noise that wakes up my kid. If I’m smooth enough to navigate in the dark and not kick a toy or something, then an ad randomly pops up that plays music and that wakes my kid up. This needs to be updated so that after you get past the first ad, no full screen ad pops up until you reopen the app. A banner ad might work fine, but full screen ads dim the light. Also, when the flashlight function is used, all sounds produced from the app should be silenced. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever!! *2023-09-23, version 2.5.1* Something so simple yet so incredibly poorly developed. While trying to setup the color of the light, the dial is so close to the edge of the phone that all your finger hits moves the app out instead. Hooooooorrible design! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So many hates? *2025-07-23* I got no adds on my iPad. I think it’s a great app because if it’s dark and you can change it to any color you want! I really like it! Thank you for making it! ### 5/5 — 🔥❤️❤️🔥 *2024-09-04* Bottom right of the screen…. press is. You should see a spicy image of a blue shirt…. Press…. And press the right Chinese writing to play the soccer game then it will send you back to the spicy page. Your welcome ### 5/5 — Flashlights *2024-08-17* Works well but takes a couple taps to get it on or off. If this is due to the app or the phone I do not know. ### 5/5 — 手电筒 *2023-09-16* 方便快捷！ ### 5/5 — Good quality *2023-02-04, version 2.5.1* Love how this app has many different colors and it doesn’t freeze up the phone either. ### 5/5 — Does exactly what it says it does *2022-07-03* Like the title says. This app does what it says it does. Gives you a light. I use the red light when working with my telescope at night. ### 5/5 — Forgot about this - on my old iPad- neat tool *2021-11-18, version 2.5.1* See above ### 5/5 — Nice *2021-10-19* I like it sooo much ### 5/5 — Perfect Light *2021-02-04* As a legal cannabis farmer this light is perfect for working in flower room where anything but a green or blue can destroy the crop in a couple different ways. This light is bright enough to work in. I will use this light from this harvest on. ### 5/5 — Bingo!! *2020-10-28, version 2.3* Finally, an app that goes right to “lantern”, (for me, red for night viewing), then LED if l wish.
