Averaging 5-star ratings and millions of downloads, this flashlight app is a must-have utility for your phone. It fully remembers its state when you quit, and doesn't have any useless bloated art. Even if you already have a flashlight app, my bet is that it wastes your phone's memory and loads slower than this one.
This app transforms your iPhone into a very powerful flashlight using the torch of the rear camera. It works 100% of the time (unlike others), it is exceedingly small and fast loading (unlike others), and is completely free (unlike others). No internet connection used, no ads, no upsells, no marketing, just a flashlight.
I believe an app like this should be standard on all iPhones with a torch, which is why I provide it FREE, without ads, and will ALWAYS DO SO.
FEATURES:
- No ads
- Flash on/off, INSTANT on.
- Light intensity control
- Any screen size including the latest iPhone 6 Plus
- Emergency Morse SOS mode on shake
- Strobe with complete control over the light AND dark timings (10ms to 2s)
- Morse mode (manual strobe)
- Loads extremely quickly, fastest flashlight on the app store
- Can completely darken your screen for better effect
- No wasteful pretty images
- Remembers its state when in background mode and across restarts
Caveats:
- It is impossible to keep the flash running in the background, iOS forbids it for 3rd party apps.
- This app manages a 10ms strobe speed (100 strobes / second), which is about the best that the devices can achieve.
If you're looking for a flashlight app that just works, loads as quickly as possible, stays in multitasking memory as much as possible for later reuse, or want complete control over strobe timings, this one is for you.
Please note: Continued use of the flash may dramatically decrease battery life

The #1 best strobe light and more!

This is a true strobe! 50 Hz?! That is amazing! It is all I'd ever need out of a light. It could not get any better. No ads, free, fast. It is perfect!

Hi I'm the developer of this app. When iOS11 came out it changed the way the flash behaves. I’ve updated the app to make it work consistently with the latest iPhoneX and iOS11. Enjoy.
Have loved for years but...

I have loved this app since I had an iPhone 4! I tried so many flashlight apps back then and this one was the brightest light and without all of the extra junk you don't want or need. Then I had it on the 5 and a couple of weeks ago, I broke down and got a 7 and that is when things fell apart. I don't like to change what works and that I know and I am not a techie but with the failing 5, it has to be done. Unfortunately, when I launch the app and turn on the light, more times than not, the light doesn't come on and it is very disappointing! I am hoping that this will be fixed soon bc I use this flashlight more than I actually use the phone to make calls! Please fix it so I can have it back!! Update 2/12/18 I appreciate your response to my review and your efforts to fix the app! It does seem to work more than it did but still doesn’t consistently work like before. I am hoping that it will continue to improve and get back to being as reliable as it used to be. Fingers crossed!

Never encountered adds. Easy and I love the adjustment on brightness and no internet connection required to turn it on

The best flashlight and all apps should be like this with no ads. Great work!
This is the one you're looking for

I can't improve on all the other reviews here. Simple, fast, works great. It's one of the most used apps on my phone because it's just SO easy to grab the phone and open this app when I need some extra light.
What I needed

I just wanted a simple flashlight. I don't need a gyroscope or to have it also order a pizza. It is as simple as turning on and off a real flashlight. K.I.S.S. Thanks guys.
