Perfect app, I hope a larger number of widget sizes are in its future. The reason it keeps disappearing (I believe) from your home screen is because Android disables apps "you haven't used in a while" occasionally. Since there is no app to be used the widget portion gets swept away as well. I blame Google+Android for this. "Reactivate" the app from it's "play" page (where you're reading this) and re-assign the widget. This is not a fault of the app, it's because it's such low interaction.

I have previously downloaded those "shake to activate" Flashlight apps, but found that many of them are just too sensitive for phone in my everyday life (not to mention, completely plastered with distracting ads). I just so happened to stumble upon this particular app & found it to be the more useful & practical alternative. I especially like it's simple aesthetic, the widget itself, & it's accessibility. Worth checking out if you find yourself using the front light on your phone frequently!

Works like a charm! I have used this one several phones now and love it every time. Have never had any real problems with it. FYI when you install the app if puts an icon on your screen. This is not the widget though on most phones that button will not do anything. You have to put the widget on your screen the same way you install other widgets on your phone. (Usually a long press on an empty part of the screen will bring up the options to add widgets)
