It pretty good. I only wish it's as intuitive as the Motorola shake flashlight. Just a couple of shakes and it comes on. With this app it takes a few shakes to come on and the irony of is that it comes on without me shaking it. My Motorola never did that. Also it would be nice if it had a time limit on how long it stays on so that if it does come on without you knowing it then it will turn off after a minute. Edit: after including the time limit it still doesn't turn off after 1 minute.

Thanks a lot for the review. EDIT: This is strange, I tried it on Samsungs and Xiaomis and it works OK there. Please try stopping battery optimization, I suspect that Pixel kills the background app and that's why the light doesn't turn off. Or please contact me by email and we'll try to solve it together.

No ads is always a huge plus. doesn't pick up fast shakes which is honestly what would be preferred to the slow shakes I have to do to get it to activate. 2 sensitivity is almost too easy to trigger, but 3 makes it really hard to get to trigger.

Thanks for the review, I'll try to adjust it in the next version so that there is a larger range for sensitivity settings.

Continuing from yesterday's previous comment, I have to say that this app doesn't turn on the flashlight by shaking it sideways and it doesn't work for me. Every time I have to come into the app and click on the flashlight button to use it.
