Joe “Daylight Flashlight” Troutt

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.

Works Good No ads and is adjustable the only thing I don't like is wish I could turn off the notification it's enabled? Otherwise great app! Edit I found if u go into the phone Settings then Notifications individual app-s can be turned on or off ( may have to press More 2 see all apps) I Turned Off Shake for the flashlight and 100% happy not having it on all the time. When flashlight is on a notification flashlight appears and goes off when shaken off really cool!

Thank you very much for the review, unfortunately the notification icon cannot be removed, it is actually a kind of system protection for the user to know that something is running in the background. Edit: You're right, I completely forgot about that option :-) Thanks for the info.

No ads, simple and easy to use, fully customizable in all areas one might need (as far as my limited imagination goes). The shake intensity slider is really nice, and lets you tune how easy it is to turn on, from a simple tap to manic violence. Obviously the optimal settings are somewhere in between, but there are a few viable ones that will work for different people and their preferences.
