Doesn’t work

Shake light doesn’t work unless app is open

Shake really

The app said shake and I really thought when you shook your phone it would turn light on . it did not . really disappointing . I wish I get my $.99 back .my friend has a app that you can do that. but he has Samsung android app

Not what I expected

I expected that I would be able to shake to turn on light, this appears to be deceiving as title says shake but this did not work

Does not work

The app after installing it only worked
twice. What a scam!

Not working

Had a Moto g7 with the shake light feature, which was awesome. Hoped this app would replicate that on an iPhone but alas, I shook so much my wrist hurt but the light only came on once. Sadness.

Shake

Doesn’t work

Junk. Give me my money back

Does not work if phone is not turned on and app is not open

Trash

Trash app you guys are robbing people

Flash

Flashlight doesn’t work waste of time waste of money.Newest iOS 13.

Only works in app

This app only works if you are on the app screen. If you are not in the app, it will not work even if the app is running in the background. A very sad purchase.

Crap

Will not work on my phone I have a iPhone XR and you have to have app open to use it’s useless.

No Work!

Does not turn on flashlight when you shake your phone! Total scam!

Don’t use

This is a joke, this app didn’t even work. I know it’s 99cents, this being on the ap store isn’t funny.

No! A Shaky Deal

This app would not work consistently even when it was in the foreground, which I found out too late. Put your hard earned money in a worthy app

Doesn’t work

I thought this app works if I shake when phone is off. But it did not work. Have to switch on phone, press the app then shake phone to get light. No good.

Scam

Only works with app open. Defeats purpose. I can open flashlight easier. Don't purchase. Not worth one cent.

Doesn’t work

Does nothing
Don’t buy

Takes much longer to open your flashlight

They tricked me for $0.99. If you want a quicker way to open the flashlight - ask Siri. If you want to shake to turn on - shake while you ask Siri.

Very Disappointing

The flashlight app has to be open or the flashlight won’t turn on. Defeats the purpose completely. I know it’s “only” 99 cents. It’s not worth a penny. It would have been nice had the info stated that. Pathetic. Rip off.

DONT BUY IF YOURE LOOKING FOR A SHAKE TO TURN ON FLASHLIGHT

DONT BUY IF YOURE LOOKING FOR A SHAKE TO TURN ON FLASHLIGHT - you need to open the app in order for it to work, which defeats the purpose.

The app seems good for other purposes, but it’s unfortunately falsely advertised and should be clearer. For other purposes I’m sure it’s great though!
