About this app

Shake Flashlight turns your phone's flashlight on with a quick shake. No hunting for the torch button in the dark. Shake once and the light comes on, shake again and it turns off.

It works in the background, so you can shake to turn on the flashlight from the home screen, from inside other apps, and on most phones even with the screen locked.

SHAKE TO TURN ON THE FLASHLIGHT
Shake left and right, or up and down. You choose the direction.
Adjustable sensitivity, from a firm shake to a light flick.
Calibration tunes shake detection to your own phone and hand.
One long shake toggles the light only once, so it never flickers on and off.

LIGHT MODES
Steady torch light for everyday use.
Strobe light with adjustable speed.
SOS light signal.

SMART CONTROLS
Pocket guard keeps the light off in your pocket or bag.
Double shake mode helps prevent accidental triggers.
Auto-off timer turns the flashlight off for you after the time you set.

SMALL AND SIMPLE
Shake Flashlight runs only while you have shake detection on. A notification shows when it is active, and you can stop it any time with one tap in the app.

KEEP IT WORKING IN THE BACKGROUND
Some phones pause apps in the background to save battery, and then a shake does nothing until you open the app again. If that happens, Shake Flashlight shows you the steps for your phone and opens the right settings page.

HOW TO USE
1. Open the app and tap to turn on shake detection.
2. Pick your shake direction and sensitivity.
3. Shake your phone to turn the flashlight on or off.

Strobe, SOS, auto-off, pocket guard and double shake are extra modes you can unlock by watching a short ad.

Shake Flashlight needs a phone with a camera flash. Your light, your phone, just a shake away.
Shake your phone to turn the flashlight on or off. Strobe, SOS and auto-off too.

It's good, has a sensitivity slider, everything I need and nothing I don't. My only gripe is that the ads are a bit repetitive when setting it up

now I must say that I've tried a few shake flashlights and let me tell you this worked out of the gate. I'm not annoyed. I'm actually impressed right now. I don't feel like ripping my hair out over another stupid app claiming to do something and then they run you through 500 ads before you actually even get to try the app. are you serious? so this app for me? I can't speak for everybody but this app actually worked. holy holy hi heavens to WHOEVER I'm Karma. peace, love and walk your dog
