It turns off the light & shows ads during use. ### 2/5 — Uhm *2025-11-02, version 2.3.5* Idk if this is just my iPad but when I download and deleted this app my iPad froze and the icons stopped working for some reason I couldn’t open the apps . ### 1/5 — The worst app ever *2025-10-20, version 2.3.5* Its because that I wish it was back of iPad or phone ### 3/5 — How to turn it off *2025-09-24, version 2.3.5* Can never get it off, I am elderly ### 3/5 — Dimmer then the newer phone generation lights *2025-09-24, version 2.3.5* It’s dimmer than the newer iPhone models, all the 5 star reviews you see are from 10-12 yrs ago when the flashlights were dim, but after doing a fair comparison I found the app flashlight to be dimmer than the actual flashlight, but it still has use because it has a Morse code option and SOS so not good for light but maybe for if ur lost in an island or smth. ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY!!!! *2025-09-17, version 2.3.5* I hate this it is so bad it’s not even a flashlight it’s just a bright white screen warning do not buy I do not recommend ### 3/5 — Flashlight app *2025-09-14, version 2.3.5* Does not turn on immediately. Needs some tweaking IMO. ### 1/5 — Bright not *2025-08-23, version 2.3.5* This is terrible. The light isn’t even a light. Don’t get this one !!! ### 1/5 — Rip off *2025-08-01, version 2.3.5* What happened to the flashlight that came in my phone. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — unacceptable offensive ads *2026-08-15, version 2.3.5* I have had this app for years. The in-app ads always bugged me, but lately they became worse than just irksome— started to get streams of offensive material which I can’t name because the review won’t post if I do. Don’t know if that ’s intentional or it somehow got highjacked- totally unacceptable either way. Deleted it. ### 1/5 — Spyware *2026-08-10, version 2.3.5* Read the fine print on this app. Not only does it track many things about you, but it sells all of it to other companies. They’re making money on you while you’re giving your private information away to them for free. ### 1/5 — Worst thing ever *2026-08-08, version 2.3.5* Does not even use the flash light it just does the screen and to not bright at all ### 1/5 — Keeps kicking on *2026-07-19, version 2.3.5* Kicks on for no reason Can’t reach tech support ### 1/5 — Lowkey trash *2026-07-16, version 2.3.5* This is lowkey trash because it does literally NOTHING to the dang flashlight but dim it a few lumens.. DO BETTER ONE STAR. ### 1/5 — Did not work *2026-07-06, version 2.3.5* Did not work ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-05-08, version 2.3.5* Hitting the “on” icon leads to an ad that never ends (literally). ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-03-21, version 2.3.5* Worse than Microsoft. ### 1/5 — It sucks *2026-03-04, version 2.3.5* Do not get ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-02-26, version 2.3.5* If I could rate a 0 star I would ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-02-23, version 2.3.5* This is very useful for when it is dark and it has a built in map that you can use easily on the app 5 🌟😀 ### 5/5 — Flashlight app review *2025-10-15, version 2.3.5* Greatest app ### 5/5 — Ok but has some issues 3 stars *2025-06-09, version 2.3.5* Just giving 5 stars so you can see this.
