Shake! - Flashlight & Compass Reviews

Lots of info in a nice tight interface. FYI: someone gave ShakeFlashlightCompass only 2 stars because they could not determine how to turn the light on and off. The answer is hidden in the name of ShakeFlashlightCompass :-)

Friend has a phone he can shake while asleep light pops on. Convenient. Wanted to do that.
With ShakeFlashlightCompass - You have to unlock phone. Find the application. Open it. Then while ShakeFlashlightCompass is open you can firmly shake your phone and the light will turn on or off.
Close app it turns off.
I can turn the light on in two steps with no app. This is a nope. Deleting.

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.

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.

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

ShakeFlashlightCompass 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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

ShakeFlashlightCompass after installing it only worked
twice. What a scam!

A nice mix of Information but the barometric pressure isn’t a scale I’m familiar with. Kind of a deal breaker.

Don’t buy ShakeFlashlightCompass! You need to open ShakeFlashlightCompass for it to work. Had I known that I would just swipe up like normal. Or ask Siri

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

I can c better

Doesn’t seem to work

Trash app you guys are robbing people

Doesnt work realize its only 99 cents but still I ZWAS ROBBED!

Didn’t find a way to communicate with you other than the review section. Wanted to ask a question. I purchased ShakeFlashlightCompass expecting the flashlight to turn on with a shake while locked. If you have to unlock your phone, locate the icon, press, then press to turn on ... then it’s kind of useless. May as well use the flashlight that comes installed on the phone. It’s not my intention to write a bad review. I clicked around as much as I could to find how to ask a question. Which is ... is the flashlight suppose to turn on with a shake while my phone is locked?

*By the way, shake your device to turn off the flashlight :)*

ShakeFlashlightCompass has everything you need in one place. The high & low temps, what time the sun will set, even your battery percentage haha. This is one of my essential apps and I 10/10 recommend it.

(P.S- I was not prompted to make this review to access additional features, etc. I just wanted to support ShakeFlashlightCompass .)

The shake to turn on flashlight feature works. Like the reviewer Willowmark wrote the shake to turn off flashlight didn't work for me initially but after a while it has worked. My suggestion to turn it off would be to give a single strong, deliberate jerk and to do this a couple of times if it doesn't to work at first.

I like the practicality of ShakeFlashlightCompass. Love the shake feature and the compass. I hope the humidity level displays accurate, but the temperature, is definitely off. And the low-high are the same. Could turn into a nice useful app. Another feature i would like to see is ability to display temperature in both celsius and fahrenheit at the same time. Some of us have friends oversees and it's a pain to convert all the time and change settings

When I shake the iPhone the flashlight goes on which is great, but how do you shut it off?? I've tried hitting all buttons, nothing worked---if I close ShakeFlashlightCompass , the flashlight goes off, but when I open it again, it's on----I even deleted ShakeFlashlightCompass and reinstalled it, and when I opened it the flashlight was on----HOW DO I SHUT OFF THE FLASHLIGHT

Easy to turn on and off, and the info page is helpful

I thought you were supposed to be able to shake to turn on flashlight. It only worked the same day I downloaded it. After that, I have to actually find ShakeFlashlightCompass and open it and operate it like a regular flashlight app. I thought it was going to be so great....but alas.

Tap upper left or right buttons. Also, shake takes a few seconds.

If I have to open up ShakeFlashlightCompass for it to work I might as well open up my flashlight that came with the phone For the same amount of work.

Refreshing detailed change from the ordinary weather app

Well done

Good information and right at your fingertips! Does what it says and puts it in a nice presentation.

Whatever??? Are these reviews paid for? The shake to turn on works.. but ONLY if ShakeFlashlightCompass is open.. what is the point. My OLD Motorola woks even if the phone is in standby. This is a useless app.
