Flashlight Ⓞ for Negative User Reviews
✓ Advertising made this app not workThe app used to work fine, but i cannot use the app anymore because the advertisements ruined the operation of the app. I open the app, press the power button, it takes me to a screen thats all white with a color wheel at the bottom, and the only other thing on that screen is an advertisement, and i try to “x” outof the ad, and it takes me back to the screen that shows the fake flashlight thing with the power button, so i press power again, and arou d and around it goes so dont get this app anymore because its destroyed i believe byy the advertising making it glitch or something. I really need itand its not working so for me it’s getting deleted for sure.Version: 2.2.1
✓ Not for iPadFalse advertising doesn’t work on iPad.Version: 2.2.1
✓ HorribleI’m sorry to say this but I brought this on my iPad and it was horrible it wasn’t what I expected. It wasn’t going through to my little flashlight hole at all, all that lit up was my screen..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Good app needs a tweakGreat app and I use it all the time . However it takes ages to actually turn the torch on .. it’s faster to use the generic swipe up iPhone torch .. I would prefer to use this app but delays turn me away.Version: 2.1.4
✓ What did you do?!This was me go to. Then you took away the dim/bright feature. Now I can’t change it according to my needs. Disappointed.Version: 2.2.4
✓ I have a iPhone 11 it does not work nowUse to be a grate app but now it useless I can’t see at night do the flash light on this iPhone 11 dose not work why apple just will not build one in to the phone who know they might not be that bright no pun intended by the way each phone apple make is just more and more useless features They add get ride of the good ones but sadly this app does not work on a iPhone 11 now please update the app so no one mugs me at night thank you that the reason I use the app do it not safe we’re I live and there drug user ever were you look and people with weapons who should not have one I had some one at night try to attack me with a make shift pole Arm if you don’t know what that is all put simple this person strapped a knife to a big metal pole that they try to charge at people with yep welcome to the crazy land I live in Long Beach.Version: 2.3.5
✓ So many adsWhen you're stumbling in the dark trying to get the flashlight to work and countless pop up ads come up it gets very frustrating. What's more annoying is that one accidental click on one signs your phone up for a 5 dollar a week subscription. App is now deleted.Version: 1.2.1
✓ It’s wIt’s ok.Version: 2.2.1
✓ Worst Flashlight EVER!Beyond frustrating - shuts off whenever it wants to and it only has one brightness but there’s like 50 different ways it can flash and cause seizures or just drive you completely insane! This app should be called gaslight because it’s designed to make you absolutely crazy or at least feel like you’re going nuts! Then it leaves you in the dark! Lol I don’t understand why people like it. Maybe they’ve all been gaslighted into leaving good reviews or it’s some sort of hypnosis with those flashing lights. Well they’re not ever getting me to drink the cool-ade and I’m uninstalling the app. There’s GOT to be something better 🤘🏼peace out sheeple! 🐺.Version: 2.3.1
✓ Was good until i found it dont workI NEEDED IT DURING THE DAY, found the light dont work when theres light. Only when its dark at night. Uninstalling and find another app to use.Version: 2.1.2
✓ I knew IdeaI was in my apartment all alone when all of a sudden the lights went out I knew my iPhone was on the table somewhere, but where exactly I didn’t know. It was pitch black! I yelled out to Siri, turn on the flashlight, but nothing happened. Hey Siri I yelled, I’m in the dark here and I need some light yet nothing happened. I tripped over the Hasek and hit my head on the table which cause the iPhone the fall next to me. I was able then to turn on the flashlight and see how badly I was hurt. None of that actually happened! But I think it’s a great idea to have voice control of your flashlight don’t you?.Version: 2.1.6
✓ Switches off when neededLately, this app has been switching off after a few seconds and taking me to the app store...probably because I needed to update it. Even so, this is an incredibly annoying, not to mention unsafe, design flaw. The light works just fine so the update isn't pressing. I'm female who uses the flashlight when I feel unsafe or when I'm unable to see where I'm walking at night. Having the light turn off because my phone has been redirected to the app store--not to a screen for updating the app but to the download page of other random applications--is ridiculous and unsafe. Please change..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Too many updatesThis was a good app for years. However the company is constantly doing updates and wants access to your WiFi and cell data. WHY? It already works, has never crashed, never shows a new function. So what are they doing? The update explanation is ALWAYS “increased stability and performance”. Leave it alone already! It’s just a flashlight, not an interactive leading edge tech gadget. And if they aren’t doing anything hinky, then this is how you break things that already work. UPDATE: they have started asking to track me across all apps. Why? NO! But they don’t take no for an answer so they keep asking. And always right when you need the app. And then show you other apps to buy. Too much of a pain. It’s now uninstalled..Version: 2.2.9
✓ Good when it worksIt’s overall good but only when it works. Sometimes it doesn’t come on at all and I have to reopen the app twice or more to get it to work. While using it can dim from the bright light which is frustrating when you’re using it especially for a small area that needs that bright light. I would say months ago I wouldn’t have any complaints but these two, especially the hesitant lighting, are becoming way too frequent for me to rate this app any higher..Version: 2.2.9
✓ This violates Apples policies….I’m going to figure out how to report this to Apple this app lock my phone up completely when it wanted to turn on location tracking. It gave me two choices: ‘allow tracking’ or ‘ask the app not to track’. That second option is not the same thing as no. At that point the app locked my phone so I couldn’t do anything without answering that question. I couldn’t even reboot my phone. Siri couldn’t reboot my phone. I had to resort to “ Ask the app not to track”.To be able to do anything including uninstall the app which I did immediately. I will be reporting his behavior to Apple. This can’t be in compliance with their standards for apps..Version: 2.3.3
✓ Too badApparently it doesn't work with iOS nine.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Not goodIt doesn’t work on my iPhone 11.Version: 2.2.4
✓ Adds on a torch?!Why are there advertisements when the torch is on?! Please remove that or else I’m uninstalling but when I ignore the add it actually works pretty good.Version: 2.3.5
✓ Don’t like itI keep turning on the pointless sos feature my mistake and I can’t turn the pointless feature off. Maybe I’m an idiot or the app was made by an idiot. Could be either..Version: 2.2.9
✓ Keeps turning itself offThis app is generally quite good but has an awful habit of just turning the light off for no reason. This usually seems to happen just as you really need the light. Infuriating. The phone can be propped up at the time so it’s definitely not an accidental touch that switches it off. It’s also too easy to accidentally touch the screen and put the torch into flash mode when you don’t want it..Version: 2.3.4
✓ Works, but dodgyI have mixed feelings. I have this app on my iPad and it works as expected. But then I saw online: “flashlight apps are dodgy and can record audio and location”. So I checked my App Privacy Report. Wow. Visited the domains of 39 WEBSITES! Wow. Please, whatever you do, don’t download this… the flashlight is not as bright anyway, and it will track you..Version: 2.3.5
✓ Torch from iHandyI can't see the point of having this on my iPhone when the iPhone (6Plus) has one built in - if you 'swipe up' from screen surround when at home screen, there is a Torch icon. I HAVE used this on an iPad. I can't see how this Torch app is really that much better than the 'default iOS torch' except that there isn't a DEFAULT torch 'app' on my iPad. All I wanted was a TORCH, and no gimmicks. So, for using on an iPad I suppose it works. I am not really interested in a torch having any other feature, because using it on an iPad is not easy due to size of iPad, so MAYBE that's why Apple don't include it on those devices. But if the 'default' torch, or 'torch app' works at the same time as the camera for shooting video (on an iPad) that would be a good 'feature'..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Great but ads are annoyingPlease for the love of god a paid ad free version please..Version: 1.2.1
✓ DisappointingNo obvious way to remove ads, and I hate apps that beg for ratings/reviews.Version: 2.0.1
✓ HopelessLight only seems to work 5% of the time. I'm forever hitting the power button trying to turn it on. When it actually works it's great..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Terrible appIt makes a white screen appear honey, that’s not a flashlight. If I wanted that I would just search up white screen. It’s not even bright. Seriously?!.Version: 2.2.7
✓ Turns off when the app is closedThis app works fine when it is on, but you cannot either turn off your phone or go into another app because if you do, then this app shuts down. This means it burns up a lot of battery time because the app needs to stay on your screen at all times. It literally uses more energy on your screen then it does for the flashlight function itself. And, because it is always live on your screen, it is susceptible to accidental changes if you touch the screen itself. If there is a way to “leave“ the app while keeping it functioning, then I am happy to improve my rating. Otherwise, it is not really functional as is..Version: 2.2.1
✓ GoodHandy flashlight.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Not worth the timeJust adds and more adds - good way to waist time.Version: 2.0.1
✓ FlashlightWorks good.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Safety hazardThis app use to be great, then they got greedy. When you open this app it's because you need light (DUH) if you NEED light having your light shut off because an add has come on could be a problem. Like when you are trying to line up a drawer that your 7 year old pulled out too far and the light goes out and now you have a heavy drawer in your hand and can't see where it goes. How about when your electricity goes out and you are walking down steps, that's a convenient time to loose light! Or my favorite, walking down a dark driveway because your light bulb blew and poof the light goes out...was that the wind, was that a wild dog coming to attack me, I don't know, BECAUSE THE LIGHT WENT OUT!!!!.Version: 2.1.2
✓ HiBdjskduspnaishwshjshshwksvdoejskhwpabsosvdowhwoegdioehwpehdodjspwhwosgdoeheiejqkhspdheoshodhdosjsjoehsishwisiodhspsgsodjdosjj.Version: 2.2.7
✓ BuggySome times it simply won't turn on. Looking for other options..Version: 2.1.2
✓ I will not and will never use apps that track meWhen I first got this app it was great but then it started asking if I could track where I was at at all times and to be honest I’m not OK with that and I will never be OK with a tracking the information on my device whether it’s contacts or any of the other things that it lists to me those things are not OK to track Internet information that other companies are privileged to bottom line and as a result when it started doing that I’ve deleted this app along with half of my family who used to use this app I have found a better flashlight app.Version: 2.2.8
✓ Ryanis awesomeGreat and fast to load.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Not for emergenciesThe app worked well until I really needed it to check some electrics with the power off. Then it would not work for love nor money. I don’t feel I can rely on it anymore and will look for a replacement that works when I need it to work..Version: 2.2.4
✓ Great app but…The app works great and I love the features however there is no control for volume? The clicking and such is not wanted when I am in a quiet room with others. Can this not be an option? Even through my iPhone settings I selected to turn the sound off and no notifications however it does nothing to turn the beeping and clicking off. Gets annoying..Version: 2.3.5
✓ Just use the phone light normally. Avoid. Or buy a torch.This torch app caused an extra £40 bill on my phone account, from in my pocket, using it when using it in work. The ads were obviously links which are pressed reaching for the phone etc. It's not supposed to be possible but it was. Didn't get a refund from the carrier. Highly suspicious..Version: 2.1.2
✓ It’s not the bestI if not really that good u can just swipe up on your phone nowadays and it takes up your storage it also says you can change the coulor of the light idk how it would be able to do that on a iPhone bc Apple would need to a some sort of pigment thing into the phone so it’s not good and not worth down loading It’s like just downloading stuff just to take up storage.Version: 2.3.5
✓ Pretty goodIt does what it says.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Good for a while.This app has worked well for a long time, compass works really well. Recently however the flashlight doesn’t always turn on, which is incredibly frustrating. This has forced me to find a new torch app..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Liar liar pants on FIREThis is not what it says it is it is like my skill of baking cookies oh wait I don’t have any cookie dough in other words very very poor it says it will go through your device and activate a flashlight through your flash light hole but instead it gave me a blank very very bright white screen so all of you with the oh good reviews blah blah blah I hope you have a good time because I am not and I am going to deleted this app right now and when I say right now I mean right now I read what it is like to have no soul and I have NO SOUL so get it right because it really hurts me it is dark I am trying to lock my back door as an eight year old and make my parents proud so because of you I could be robbed so bye😢☹️😟🙁😕🤨😐😠😡🤬.Version: 2.2.3
✓ Ads turn the light offLook, it's bright when it works, but if you breathe too close to the ad it opens up in a new window. And when it opens the flashlight goes off and you are stuck in the dark stabbing at the screen to get the ad to go away so you can get the light back on. But when the other window closes the light doesn't ACTUALLY TURN BACK ON! You have to hit the button which sometimes works, but other times turns it on a kind of irregular strobe. Clearly with my masters degree I am not smart enough to work this flipping flashlight app. I'm going to get a different flashlight app and hope I'm not too stupid for that one. Seriously how simple should a flashlight be?.Version: 2.1.2
✓ MehShould stay on even if i put the phone on sleep.Version: 2.2.4
