8 of 25Won’t work until updated
my back camera stopped working so this app is really useful for when I need a flashlight!!
Now when clicking the flashlight on it Dims screen and doesn’t do anything with flash light.
Hello all,<br/><br/>I searched and searched and searched to find a good way to read my book with my phone screen in the dark and didn’t find it until now! Between the setting on iPhone to eliminate blue light from your screen at night and the white screen you get with this app, it’s perfect! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Tried a black flashlight on this app and does not work!This app is just how you want your flashlight DO NOT GET IT
You cannot count on this app for many things, in fact most things. You can turn the light on, though you’d better not be in a hurry and you’d better not need it for long. You can use it as a flashlight but you’d better not be moving and you’ll need both hands to keep it lit and they’d better be steady. <br/><br/>I don’t know about you, but I generally use a flashlight in an unusual situation and I want to pay attention to whatever needs illuminating, not keeping the flashlight lit. This is impossible with this app - it either reverts back to the company logo you see when it’s loading, which takes an inordinate amount of time, or a further step that I’ve never read beyond learning that it is of no use to me in trying to get a flashlight to stay lit. The app is so sensitive to touch and movement that you can’t hold your phone without paying attention to where you’re holding the phone so that you won’t lose the light. That place on the phone where it is safe to hold onto the device and not extinguish the flashlight is that thin area about a half millimeter around the perimeter of your device. Touching anything else will extinguish the light and take you to places within the app you couldn’t care less about in the moment that you most need the light. <br/><br/>I could go on about the supposed bells and whistles (like a strobe function, as if that’s any different from trying to use the regular flashlight, since it won’t stay on). But the bottom line is that this is a flashlight - you only get flashes of light - and you’ll get more familiar with the company logo and the page to which the flashlight most often reverts instead of staying on if you move, or if you touch the face of your phone practically anywhere, and all of this dysfunction occurs especially when you need the light the most.
With a recent IOS update (I have 14.2) the app stopped working, I.e. it exits as soon as you launch the app. It used to work great.
I got this app on 2009 for my iPhone 4s camera flash
