Worst Flashlight EVER!. Beyond frustrating - shuts off whenever it wants to and it only has one brightness but there’s like 50 different ways it can flash and cause seizures or just drive you completely insane! This app should be called gaslight because it’s designed to make you absolutely crazy or at least feel like you’re going nuts! Then it leaves you in the dark! Lol I don’t understand why people like it. Maybe they’ve all been gaslighted into leaving good reviews or it’s some sort of hypnosis with those flashing lights. Well they’re not ever getting me to drink the cool-ade and I’m uninstalling the app. There’s GOT to be something better 🤘🏼peace out sheeple! 🐺

Wonderful, Helpful App. It is very helpful app. I use it regularly; almost every day. I never had a problem with it working with iOS 10 prior to this update though. I do not like the fact that now there are ants and promos running across at the bottom of the screen now. Another small concern: there is no way to pick the screen name you would like displayed when composing your review. I certainly don't want my email address displayed. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Saved My Bacon. This app has saved my bacon so many times. I’ve used it to see boo-boos on my pets out in the country after dark. I’ve even used it to to read by late at night, when my husband’s sleeping. BUT, the most important use was during Hurricane Harvey, when we lost power. No power and only a small generator to keep our fridge and freezers running. I kept the phone charged on either the generator or my car and the flashlight app was bright and able to light up dark interior rooms way better than candles or handheld flashlights.

I knew Idea. I was in my apartment all alone when all of a sudden the lights went out I knew my iPhone was on the table somewhere, but where exactly I didn’t know. It was pitch black! I yelled out to Siri, turn on the flashlight, but nothing happened. Hey Siri I yelled, I’m in the dark here and I need some light yet nothing happened. I tripped over the Hasek and hit my head on the table which cause the iPhone the fall next to me. I was able then to turn on the flashlight and see how badly I was hurt. None of that actually happened! But I think it’s a great idea to have voice control of your flashlight don’t you?

Senior Female. Anyone who does not use the Flashlight on their phone is missing out! I am on the border of needing readers and my husband needs readers! Well when it is time to adjust our thermostat for heating and or cooling, my husband and I carry the phone with us for the handy flashlight to see the thermostat for accuracy! Since many restaurants have dim lighting it is not easy to see the menu. The flashlight is handy to tap on and easily put away. No fuss with glasses’ case and putting it away plus to read the menu without hesitation! Finding where the key fits into a lock at night is another huge plus! Especially if someone is going into their home alone at night. Enjoy this free app!!!!

Love this flashlight app. Because I can never get the stupid flashlight that is built into my iPhone to come on, the swipe up is a nightmare that never works when I need it but works whenever I am trying to do something else. Since I can’t seem to move the built in flashlight to where it would be convenient for me I got this app and I love it, works every time quickly and easily. Highly recommend !

So very helpful. I am blind as a bat in the dark and can’t see anything. Just now, without thinking, I turned off the kitchen lights to go in the living room without turning the light on. Because I have lived here 18 years, you’d think I should be able to find my way around, but I couldn’t! After a needless 5 minutes of walking very slowly trying not to run into anything, I remembered I had this app. I can’t tell you how very helpful this flashlight has been to me. If I go out during the day and don’t return until night, it helps me to see the keyhole to unlock my door. Thank you very very much for this app!!

I will not and will never use apps that track me. When I first got this app it was great but then it started asking if I could track where I was at at all times and to be honest I’m not OK with that and I will never be OK with a tracking the information on my device whether it’s contacts or any of the other things that it lists to me those things are not OK to track Internet information that other companies are privileged to bottom line and as a result when it started doing that I’ve deleted this app along with half of my family who used to use this app I have found a better flashlight app

Great for reading!. The main reason I downloaded this app was because the lowest mode for the flashlight on my IPhone XR is to bright to read with. Once I downloaded this app it made was very convenient because it was not to dim that I couldn't see anything but also not to bright that I had to squint. I also found it useful when I dropped something in the car when it's dark, because where I live the street lights aren't the most affective and my parents have trouble focusing when the light is on so I use this app so the light is at a perfect level of brightness. Over all I have this app a five star rating because of the in brightness you have.

Review for Flashlight App.. I really like this App. It is better than any flashlight I have at present & I know I won't have to worry about the battery running out plus it is super bright. It is so cool. Lucy It is still really a cool app to have. I use it a great deal of the time, heck it's so bright I can use it in the day time to find things. Love it! Lucy I was going to give you a 4 stars rating because the flashlight was better before the latest update. Although I think I figured out why it was giving me the fits. When it's in regular mode it works ok, but when I have the ID & passcode on then the problems begin. The flashlight freezes up, it won't go on & off like it's suppose to I have to turn the whole thing off.

3 1/2 stars!. Overall a nice app. Using the flashlight that “comes WITH” the iPhone means the light doesn’t turn off when you turn the phone off. Sometimes it’s much handier to have the light turn off when you turn the phone off. The downside is twofold: 1) With this app, you cannot simultaneously run any other app (not that “I” can figure anyway), & (2) It frequently won’t activate - forcing one to DELETE the app, then RE-DOWNLOAD it....OR, try closing out of THIS flashlight app and turning on and off your iPhone flashlight (Which ALWAYS WORKS) a couple of times. I don’t know why but, No.2 works about 85% of the time in “getting this other app UP AND RUNNING”.🌹

Great, but for one issue. Love the fact I could place this flashlight on my screen where it can be access easily. Also one could control the brightness is fantastic. The compass is a nice addition. What is missing is the ability to keep the flashlight on while accessing other apps. You open another app the light goes off. Not convent if you need the light to see something and another app open to either record what you are seeing or for instructions.

This violates Apples policies….. I’m going to figure out how to report this to Apple this app lock my phone up completely when it wanted to turn on location tracking. It gave me two choices: ‘allow tracking’ or ‘ask the app not to track’. That second option is not the same thing as no. At that point the app locked my phone so I couldn’t do anything without answering that question. I couldn’t even reboot my phone. Siri couldn’t reboot my phone. I had to resort to “ Ask the app not to track”.To be able to do anything including uninstall the app which I did immediately. I will be reporting his behavior to Apple. This can’t be in compliance with their standards for apps.

Great Flashlight. As a woman who works shift work at a local mill, I am constantly going to work in the dark! Although there is lighting in the parking lots there are areas that are either dimly lit or large trucks that block the light. It’s a little scary to walk through that kind of area. That is why I just hold onto my phone and I have plenty of light and feel secure that if I need help I can turn the flashers on and get someone’s attention. Thanks for creating this handy app!

Ads turn the light off. Look, it's bright when it works, but if you breathe too close to the ad it opens up in a new window. And when it opens the flashlight goes off and you are stuck in the dark stabbing at the screen to get the ad to go away so you can get the light back on. But when the other window closes the light doesn't ACTUALLY TURN BACK ON! You have to hit the button which sometimes works, but other times turns it on a kind of irregular strobe. Clearly with my masters degree I am not smart enough to work this flipping flashlight app. I'm going to get a different flashlight app and hope I'm not too stupid for that one. Seriously how simple should a flashlight be?

FABULOUS FLASHLIGHT. I don’t know why restaurants persist in trying to create a romantic ambiance by placing one dim candle on the table in a dimly lit room. IMPOSSIBLE TO READ THE MENU with my 20/20 vision. Previously I would ask the waiter to fetch me a flashlight or insist he strain his eyes and read the menu to my date and myself. Both a hassle, but the only way to decide what to order. UNTIL NOW!!! With this FABULOUS flashlight app, I merely pull out my I phone and illuminate our table for menu reading. I have had folks at nearby tables ask me if they could borrow my “flashlight” phone so they could read their menus. FABULOUS APP FABULOUS FLASHLIGHT. Also very convenient for walking down a dark path or finding things in a dark trunk. Now I always have a bright flashlight conveniently with me at all times.

Amazing. I love it so much and if you don’t like it then you are just crazy because this is my most number 1 because it is just so much amazing and I love this company and I have been using this app for a long time and my mom also loves it and that is when I first ever ever tried this app and it was so much amazing that I just simply had to get this FREE flashlight app on my phone and I typed this report on my phone so I just love this so much amazing app and if you don’t YOU ARE JUST TOO MUCH CRAZY!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Flashlight. Awesome app for anything & everything in between!!! THANKS!!!!!! Oh also I like how much brighter it is then my clip on book light! Yes I like how the app works on my phone which works different on my other device. Still brighter then my clip on book light. Thanks again!! Haven't gotten to see the newest update. Wanted me to send a 5 star rating before I got to see anything. At least give me a change to see what's different before u ask me to rate your app. Still using it but not a whole lot lately. Still like using it when I do need it. I still use it when I need extra light when I'm coloring at night. Great app:) Hi! Still love this app on my phone! The only way I’ll get rid of it is if u leave & it’s not available anymore. So don’t plan on leaving anytime soon. Thanks for a awesome app:). If there was a higher rating then 5 stars then I would give u 25!

Eh and yay. Eh part- I don’t use it a lot I know it can be helpful I never use I like but it is better to get a flashlight this hard to use I have to update every freaking minute it is drives me crazy ughhhhhh. yay part- it is super helpful I like it not love it but like it was i was so relieved when I found it I lost my phone and with the help of this app I found it but it died but I can charge it a-ok I love how you can change the color I was relieved when I found this I mean it has problems but a-oki like it more then I eh it

The Best App. Whenever I remember that I have this app available to me on my phone it’s great and very useful to me. For example, when I walk my 12 lb Shih Tzu at night I would not be able to pick up after her if I didn’t have a flash light. I have purchased several very small flashlights over the years and I felt elated when I found one that is rechargeable with a USB port. It have it sitting with my keys and dog leash so I automatically pick it up. However when I want to use other apps on my phone when I go out at night, e.g. the star maps, to listen to music or a podcast or even just to make a short phone call, I just need my phone because it helps with many issues all at the same time. Also, I use it if someone on the phone asks me the read off a serial # or something that is very small. The only problem I see with this app is that it appears to drain my battery very quickly. Otherwise it works perfectly and is very useful.

Safety hazard. This app use to be great, then they got greedy. When you open this app it's because you need light (DUH) if you NEED light having your light shut off because an add has come on could be a problem. Like when you are trying to line up a drawer that your 7 year old pulled out too far and the light goes out and now you have a heavy drawer in your hand and can't see where it goes. How about when your electricity goes out and you are walking down steps, that's a convenient time to loose light! Or my favorite, walking down a dark driveway because your light bulb blew and poof the light goes out...was that the wind, was that a wild dog coming to attack me, I don't know, BECAUSE THE LIGHT WENT OUT!!!!

Turns off when the app is closed. This app works fine when it is on, but you cannot either turn off your phone or go into another app because if you do, then this app shuts down. This means it burns up a lot of battery time because the app needs to stay on your screen at all times. It literally uses more energy on your screen then it does for the flashlight function itself. And, because it is always live on your screen, it is susceptible to accidental changes if you touch the screen itself. If there is a way to “leave“ the app while keeping it functioning, then I am happy to improve my rating. Otherwise, it is not really functional as is.

Awesome flashlight..... only have one issue. This is a fabulous tool, the light is very bright and does have the capability of adjusting how bright for different situations. My only real issue is the scroll wheel at the top that allows you to do different types of flash sequences including SOS if you like. Because we live in a touchscreen era, this wheel is very very sensitive. Occasionally I’ll find myselfAccidentally brushing the wheel and then in the middle of the night I get all sorts of different nifty flashing patterns. Still this is an awesome Flashlight application

Dumb. Yes I rated 5 stars because the app does what it's supposed to. But I find the concept of Flashlight apps dumb. Let me explain: every iOS device has control center. You access it by swiping up at the bottom of the screen. It lets you go to 3 apps, enable the flash of your device, turn airplane mode, wifi, Bluetooth, do not disturb, lock rotation, night shift (iOS 9.3 and up), enable airplay and airdrop and adjust brightness and volume. TL:DR, swipe up from bottom, tap Flashlight icon, profit.

Handy. I use this app in a variety of situations. Reading the menu in darkened restaurants. Looking for something in my car-- especially under the seats. When the TV remote doesn't light up enough to see the buttons. To add light when reading a book. When running in the dark. I don't know why you wouldn't have this app on your phone. There is a small delay before it turns on but I've come to expect that.

Very useful. Whether I'm using it in a power outage or using it to see outside while I'm walking my dog this app is always useful. I can adjust the brightness so it's not too bright or too dim. In case of disaster I can translate a message into Morse without even knowing more with the flash light. And just to add a little more, you can even change the color of the flash light. It's not just this app either many other apps this developer has developed are just as or more useful/entertaining.

Pretty cool little app. First of all, the app has a nice screen. I also like the fact that you can dim the flashlight if you don't require much to get the job done. The compass feature is also cool because it's like a handy little GPS. It shows you your location on a map. You can zoom in or zoom out to find out where you are or were you need to go. You know, like if you get abducted by aliens and they drop you off 50 miles from home in unfamiliar territory. Oh yeah...if they're nice enough to let you keep your iPhone, that is. LOL.

It is so handy and convenient.. I'm 72 years old and this flashlight really comes in handy because it is always right there on my person in case of a fall. And when I can't find my glasses. Sometimes they fall because I have fallen asleep while reading and they go under my bed. Makes it easier for me to find them quickly. And with my phone right there on the nightstand, that's convenient if I have to get up at night for water. It really is a lifesaver for me. Thank you for that.

Out if the darkness — is Light!. I appreciate this light app! It is available, easy, bright, and effective! ! Often, I walk from room to room during the night. Turning on the bedside lamp is blinding; however, this light is soft on the eyes as I shine it across the floor to secure my path to either room I choose! Moving about my place in Safety is important! Having it on my phone means it is always w me; and, it is easy to use, quick, & always gives me light!

Very Handy in the Dark!🥇. I’ve had this app on several devices during the time this flashlight 🔦 has been available, ZERO issues!!! The light 💡 output compares with many regular flashlights currently on the market. It isn’t the replacement for a regular flashlight, but as just about everyone has a smartphone, knowing that there is a bright, dependable, and long lasting light on your device. Install this flashlight app & even if you never have a need to use it, believe me, you won’t regret it! Unlike other apps, this is one that you don’t have to worry about it being a waste of memory space, because the first time you need a light and then you reach for your device, and save the day (or night)!!!

I have a iPhone 11 it does not work now. Use to be a grate app but now it useless I can’t see at night do the flash light on this iPhone 11 dose not work why apple just will not build one in to the phone who know they might not be that bright no pun intended by the way each phone apple make is just more and more useless features They add get ride of the good ones but sadly this app does not work on a iPhone 11 now please update the app so no one mugs me at night thank you that the reason I use the app do it not safe we’re I live and there drug user ever were you look and people with weapons who should not have one I had some one at night try to attack me with a make shift pole Arm if you don’t know what that is all put simple this person strapped a knife to a big metal pole that they try to charge at people with yep welcome to the crazy land I live in Long Beach

Extremely useful!. This is the perfect app for me, as I am disabled and it is sometimes hard to get around. As such, there are times when it is late and the lights are off and I have dropped something or can’t find where I placed it (such as my night mask or tv remote), and instead of having to get up and turn lights on, I just use the flashlight to find what I need. VERY helpful! Thank you!!!

Magnificent Flashlight. I use my Flashlight app just about every day. I have multiple plugs under my desk at home. I often unplug my laptop cord if I am going to be away. When I go to plug it back in I can hardly see way under there. How many times do you drop something in between your seats in the car? What about when you are out to dinner and drop something on the floor, or lose something in the bench seats. Walking around your home at night when you have guests everywhere. I love this app!! Oh, reading menus in a dimly lite restaurant. Reading tiny print... I could go on and on!!

Most Helpful App Ever!. I find this app to be the most useful, most accessed app on my phone, short of the actual phone, texting, and camera! I am hearing all sorts of horrible reports about imbedded malware in quite a few flashlight apps these days! Permission given to these apps to collect and use/transmit/sell personal info (cc#'s, location, ss#, etc) by accepting the privacy terms that nobody EVER reads...including me! I was very relieved and pleased to find (upon tracking down and actually reading the iHandy privacy terms) that the minimal amount of information they collect is used internally and to help in the marketing of their own apps. It's not being transmitted overseas or sold to the highest bidder!

Flashlight. I really love this app. The light is really bright. It saved my life tonight! I live in a rural area out in the country and I live way off of the hwy. I was taking my trash out to the road and it’s too far for me to walk so I use my mobile chair to take it out there. I had a flashlight with me but I didn’t realize until I had already hooked up the trash can and was headed towards the hwy that my flashlight was going dead! Luckily I had my phone on me just before I almost went into a ditch! So I thank you Apple sooo much for putting this app on my iPhone!❤️

works on facetime!. i’m not sure a lot of the reviews knows there’s a built in iphone flashlight to start, but there is. what makes this different is you can adjust the brightness with a knob (to adjust the brightness on the built in flashlight just press and hold the flashlight button down) but the one thing this app can do that the built in one can’t is open on facetime! I’m on facetime all the time and you can’t use the flashlight when you’re using video apps. with this you can’t! Plus fancy patterns if that floats your boat.

It’s always there for me. I never thought of this tool as something that would need a rating because I feel everyone needs and uses it. To my surprise not everyone uses this particular app. I have always used it and it has never failed me. It’s my everyday carry flashlight. Not only is it a flashlight, it will strobe at various speeds and has the capability to transmit any Morse codes you want by typing in your message and it will transmit it for you. Now I haven’t been in any situation in which I would need to do any Morse codes but I like knowing it’s there if the need should ever arise.

advertising made this app not work. The app used to work fine, but i cannot use the app anymore because the advertisements ruined the operation of the app. I open the app, press the power button, it takes me to a screen thats all white with a color wheel at the bottom, and the only other thing on that screen is an advertisement, and i try to “x” outof the ad, and it takes me back to the screen that shows the fake flashlight thing with the power button, so i press power again, and arou d and around it goes so dont get this app anymore because its destroyed i believe byy the advertising making it glitch or something. I really need itand its not working so for me it’s getting deleted for sure

Switches off when needed. Lately, this app has been switching off after a few seconds and taking me to the app store...probably because I needed to update it. Even so, this is an incredibly annoying, not to mention unsafe, design flaw. The light works just fine so the update isn't pressing. I'm female who uses the flashlight when I feel unsafe or when I'm unable to see where I'm walking at night. Having the light turn off because my phone has been redirected to the app store--not to a screen for updating the app but to the download page of other random applications--is ridiculous and unsafe. Please change.

Mostly great!. The flashlight works reliably well most of the time, every now and then it seems to malfunction, it’s also possible I don’t know how to work it… It sometimes starts flashing which can be a problem because I have two kids who have issues with epilepsy and flashing lights can sometimes cause seizures. I’m not sure how to turn it off when that happens so I probably need a tutorial on how to work the app.

Lower lighting than iPhone flashlight. This app is somehow able to make the flashlight on my iPhone less bright and use more yellow which is exactly what I need when it's time for bed and I forgot something. Bright light will wake me up and I will have a hard time falling asleep but the dimmest setting of this flashlight is perfect. I also like that if that flashlight is too bright, they can make your screen turn a solid color (of your choice) as a night light

The awkward night dun dun dunnnnn. I love the flashlight app it helped my brother when he was going to the bathroom at night I gave him my phone then he asked me what am I supposed to do with this phone and I said go to the flashlight app and I went back asleep so when I woke up my phone was dead and I thought how did it die then I asked him and he said well I might have kinda sort of played on it for a minute that turned into a hour that turned into a night and I yelled at him and when it was my bedtime I did the same exact thing right back to him!!!!!!😆😂🤔🤭😆🤔😂🤭😆🤔😂💕😆🤔😂🥺🤭😆🥺🥺👄🤖🥺😻🍺🤟🏿🦷😡🤔😆😄🥺😄🥰🤪🧐😎✏️✏️💖💓💓🖍📝🖤💚🦆🐴🦅💕💦😋😘🧐☺️🍣🍮🥧🍔🌯🥘🍫🍜⛷🏇🏇🇬🇸🇸🇽🎤🤹🏽‍♂️🥇🎗🎫

Too many updates. This was a good app for years. However the company is constantly doing updates and wants access to your WiFi and cell data. WHY? It already works, has never crashed, never shows a new function. So what are they doing? The update explanation is ALWAYS “increased stability and performance”. Leave it alone already! It’s just a flashlight, not an interactive leading edge tech gadget. And if they aren’t doing anything hinky, then this is how you break things that already work. UPDATE: they have started asking to track me across all apps. Why? NO! But they don’t take no for an answer so they keep asking. And always right when you need the app. And then show you other apps to buy. Too much of a pain. It’s now uninstalled.

Grateful to have it. It has saved a lot of people from a lot of unsafe situations and has helped people in so many other ways. Maybe something that could be done is to have a sliding intensity feature . I have a hard time sometimes because it is not bright enough for me. And perhaps there is a way to ( I may be asking you to break the laws of physics) to be able to use have a toggle switch to be able to “tilt” the beam so you can hold the phone more intuitively. But like I said I am grateful to have it!!

Chunky-D-Chunk. Hey, I personally think the flashlight App is AWESOME.!!! It does everything I need it to do. plus, it's pretty bright..! It works great for what use it for anywhere from home first thing in the morning searching for the light in the garage to switch on, something rolling underneath the seat in my vehicle, navigating my way around there, all the way to bed time using it while the lights are off and everyone is sleeping to find my way around to bed...LoL Use on UP...!!

Great for a mechanic. Great when you drop a wrench or a socket or something else down the engine bay. Sometimes you don’t hear a “ding” of metal hitting the shop floor when you drop a tool in an engine on accident. Great to help find missing tools and spot leaks, frayed wires, etc in dark crevices of cars. Prefer a real flashlight but if nothing else is handy I’ve always got my phone. Nice and bright beam coming from the light. Love the compass because I like to do off-trail hiking in the woods and it’s easy to get lost out there in the woods of the rural South. Great tool for any and everyone. Highly recommend.

Good when it works. It’s overall good but only when it works. Sometimes it doesn’t come on at all and I have to reopen the app twice or more to get it to work. While using it can dim from the bright light which is frustrating when you’re using it especially for a small area that needs that bright light. I would say months ago I wouldn’t have any complaints but these two, especially the hesitant lighting, are becoming way too frequent for me to rate this app any higher.

Liar liar pants on FIRE. This is not what it says it is it is like my skill of baking cookies oh wait I don’t have any cookie dough in other words very very poor it says it will go through your device and activate a flashlight through your flash light hole but instead it gave me a blank very very bright white screen so all of you with the oh good reviews blah blah blah I hope you have a good time because I am not and I am going to deleted this app right now and when I say right now I mean right now I read what it is like to have no soul and I have NO SOUL so get it right because it really hurts me it is dark I am trying to lock my back door as an eight year old and make my parents proud so because of you I could be robbed so bye😢☹️😟🙁😕🤨😐😠😡🤬

Awesome. This flashlight is really really good i really love this flashlight app it’s really handy when it’s dark and when your out in the wild and if you have any phone that doesn’t have a flashlight it’s amazing I have a iPhone that has a flashlight but doesn’t do sos and also just have to click in the app I don’t have to go to my control center then go to flashlight I love this app this is so convenient and not a waste of time I really really hope you guys update this amazing app and hope you creators can make the app better then this but for know it’s THE BOMB FLASHLIGHT APP 💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣THE BEST FLASHLIGHT APP

It’s Great!. This is a great app, don’t get me wrong. But, the color picker doesn’t work at all. I’m a little bit disappointed by that, but then again i have a pretty old iPhone (a 5S) and that’s not the point of the app. It’s called a flashlight for a reason! Yes, it works great. Where I live power outages are rare but do happen every 3-6 weeks. I was unfortunately caught in one so I pulled out this flashlight and calmly and safely make it back to the living room in my house where me, my mom, and sister waited for the power to come back on. The flashlight is very bright and is over great!

What did you do?!. This was me go to. Then you took away the dim/bright feature. Now I can’t change it according to my needs. Disappointed

Great little torch. Very handy torch app. Ads are not intrusive. Love that it has a compass as I am useless with which direction I am facing so it's quite handy. Has SOS, strobe and you can change the colour of your screen if you want a little colour in your life. What more can you ask of a free torch app

An oldie now but needed. Give me light!!! A much needed classic but unsure why it is not in the basic package for smart phones?

Hopeless. Light only seems to work 5% of the time. I'm forever hitting the power button trying to turn it on. When it actually works it's great.

Not good. It doesn’t work on my iPhone 11

Buggy. Some times it simply won't turn on. Looking for other options.

Great. Lost my ear ring on the floor. Could. Ot find with an ordinary torch. This one found it in a flash.

Lock screen. Perhaps install a lock screen so that when using and you knock the screen the torch doesn't turn off

Great app. Free and does just what it’s supposed to do. Much appreciated. Can’t ask for more

I torch. Simply awesome. Great for camping, finding the lock on the car or house door at night. You can even use it as a reading light!

Flashlight app. Is amazing

🤗. Very good, easy to use

Come on baby lite my fire. How can it not work? I have other things to think about in my life of a higher priority than a torch. But if I was a caveman than I'm pretty sure that I would see things differently. AC/DC said it well "Let there be light" geez, I wonder where they got that from. That's show bizz. Lights out for now. Lakanoch.

Good. Handy flashlight

Useful apps!!. Loved it! Good thing to have when there is blackout, we carry phone more than we carry torch nowadays.

Good app. Useful when it’s dark nice color red light and green light....useful for cockroaches for me last night

Perfect Quick-light app. It's exactly as you'd want a torch to be. Hit the app button & the light comes on. I had been using iHandy's other flashlight for a long while- this one is much quicker- just wot I need to push back the darkness ;)

Great little light. I am very impressed with this little light. I was bumbling around in the dark recently and remembered I had installed the flashlight app. AND IT WORKED!!

Wonder torch. Just the right amount of light For walking around the house at night, Without disturbing anyone, love it.

Was good until i found it dont work. I NEEDED IT DURING THE DAY, found the light dont work when theres light. Only when its dark at night. Uninstalling and find another app to use

Good for a while.. This app has worked well for a long time, compass works really well. Recently however the flashlight doesn’t always turn on, which is incredibly frustrating. This has forced me to find a new torch app.

So many ads. When you're stumbling in the dark trying to get the flashlight to work and countless pop up ads come up it gets very frustrating. What's more annoying is that one accidental click on one signs your phone up for a 5 dollar a week subscription. App is now deleted

Flashlight. Handy and useful

Great app. It's great app. Very handy if you don't have a real torch. This is why I got it in the first place and it served its purpose on numerous occasions. Keep up the good work! Thanks

Awesome. Very handy when looking for that specific thing and u don't want to wake the others, I use it every day! Great app, thanx....

GOC. Very handy gadget

Alun in Australia. Great app to have so helpful does not drain the battery excessively highly recommend everyone to get this as it’s so very handy to have.

Not for iPad. False advertising doesn’t work on iPad

Good app needs a tweak. Great app and I use it all the time . However it takes ages to actually turn the torch on .. it’s faster to use the generic swipe up iPhone torch .. I would prefer to use this app but delays turn me away

Flash Light Torch. Brilliant App!! Wouldn't be without it.

Does what you want it to do.. Always turns the light on as I need it. The flashing features and a nice addition too.

Better than before. I would turn on the original flashlight at the top of the stairs and reach the bottom before it came on. This one is a lot quicker. Also the compass is a nice addition. I wonder why google earth doesn't orientate itself to the points of the compass?

The Important Facts. I've tested many of these torch apps so here's a rundown: 1) Brightness - maximum, same as most others 2) Ease of use - a large button for on and off, simple and efficient, strobe effect is also easy to set. 3) Ads - the ads are small and unobtrusive, they sit well out of the way. A nice feature it (and some others) has is when you leave the light on but exit the program it turns off. The light will then turn back on the moment you enter the program again which I find convinient.

Brilliant. So simple and so effective

No flies on iHandy. iHandy have always made very useful apps. If apple doesn't make something standard, these guys step in.

Adds on a torch?!. Why are there advertisements when the torch is on?! Please remove that or else I’m uninstalling but when I ignore the add it actually works pretty good

Excellent Flashlight. A must have ,works perfectly when you need a light in a hurry!

Well done. So glad some things are still free Very handy and bright

Flashlight app. So far so good it’s simple and easy to use. You never know when you just might need the compass

Great app!. Does everything and more , really well

It’s w. It’s ok

Easy to use, less buttons to press. Easy to use, less buttons to press

Good app. This is a great app but I only wish these kind of apps don’t light up from the screen I wish they light up from the camera part

I haven’t even tried this app. Ummmm......... i’ll rate it five, for the wait.....

Handy little gadget. Yep,have to say very handy up at my dads place and when I want to check on my kids and not disturb their sleep,that being a bonus in it self.....

FLASHLIGHT APP. Excellent app. Great for pocket Light!!!

Great. Very bright and exactly what you need in a torch

Great app so handy!. Great

Best torch. I use this all the time. Most hand app to have ready to go on main screen. Now I don't ever trip over things on the dark.

Use it!. Much better then other apps that are kind of the same.

Awesome. Love the look and feel of the app. Best one out there.

Flashlight. Excellent

Good and reliable light.. I recommend it.

Daniel. travail très bien

Great app but…. The app works great and I love the features however there is no control for volume? The clicking and such is not wanted when I am in a quiet room with others. Can this not be an option? Even through my iPhone settings I selected to turn the sound off and no notifications however it does nothing to turn the beeping and clicking off. Gets annoying.

Most excellent. Love it!

Excellent flashlight!. Very pleased with product

Lamentations of gentleman clem. Nifty lil tool

Flashlight. Works great,light is nice and bright great

Bang!. Best one yet!

Not Bad At All. 10/10 would flash again

Great!. Perfect app! A little hidden jewel in the app store :)

Wlpp. Amazing! Just what I was looking for and it's free!

Flashlight. Works good

No compass. The compass doesn't appear on my iPod but overall l am pleased

Flash light. Excellent

Hi. Bdjskduspnaishwshjshshwksvdoejskhwpabsosvdowhwoegdioehwpehdodjspwhwosgdoeheiejqkhspdheoshodhdosjsjoehsishwisiodhspsgsodjdosjj

tried and true 👍👍. A tried and true app. Thank you for sharing 👍👍 Long time customer

Review. This is a great app. I really like that you can adjust the brightness of the flashlight to suit your needs. I also like the Morse code feature, it seems pretty cool.

Flashlight app. Excellent light app. It works great.

Flashlight App. Very handy! I use this app all the time.

Flashlight. Very easy to use! Perfect! Élie

Loving this app!. I can't say enough about this app. Being on the other side of 60, it's so handy in dark restaurants, where my eyesight is lacking. My phone is always with me so it's very handy. Bottom line is I like it a lot.

Good App. Get it if you like, it works

Flashlight review. Does what it is supposed to do very good for emergency situations

Light. Really cool app. useful features to.

Good🤨. It’s pretty good but is to complexe

Handy app. I like using it. Fast, easy, recommended. Sometimes the swipe up menu doesn't work so great on my phone so this is better.

Terrible app. It makes a white screen appear honey, that’s not a flashlight. If I wanted that I would just search up white screen. It’s not even bright. Seriously?!

Lampe-torche. SuperPratique!

Avis lampe de poche. Super outil! Pratique et rigolo!

Pretty good. It does what it says

Vraiment puissante!!!!. J'adore elle extra😉

Review. Handy to see front door key hole at nite.

Really nice and handy. It is extremely easy to use and very nice. Totally recommended

Disappointing. No obvious way to remove ads, and I hate apps that beg for ratings/reviews

Lampe de poche à intensité variable ... Génial et très très pratique.. Lampe de poche à intensité variable ... Génial et très très pratique.

Awesome. Awesome it works great and I love that it's free!

Too bad. Apparently it doesn't work with iOS nine

Great App!!👌😁👍. Great App, I love tools you can use on the iPhone! 😭💕

Great!. Always there when you need it!

Flash lite. Sweet little lite for sure

Flashlight. It works well and I find it very handy from time to time. Excellent!

Bright!. Bright, simple design, added compass feature is fun.

Toggle led. Say launch flashlight to Siri, to turn on led on iPad

Flash light. Works very well

Second Nature. The flashlight app is awesome. I have it at the top of my second page of apps so it has become second nature in use. I use it everyday and often several times daily. I am a mechanic. Since I always have my phone on me it saves pocket space and weight. I also use it in the morning for getting dressed as to not wake my wife by turning on the bedroom light.

Karen. This flashlight works great for me! The light is bright enough and while I've tried other flashlight apps, this is the one I always go back to. My only concern is that I wish there was not such a pause time between clicking on the app and the light actually coming on. But that could also be my phone. I'm pushing storage space here.

Handy & Functional. Nice app that does what it says it does in the app store. Quick and easy and always available on the iPhone. It has helped me avoid hazards in a rural setting at night. When taking our dogs out at night it’s a bright light to keep them safe from snakes, spiders, and other night creatures.

Over active bladder/// Don’t laugh. Ok I admit it on certain nights every twenty minutes it is time and fortunately I live alone. When, where, and can I really expect to be safely find the light switch in the total darkness in the middle of the night or find a toilet with a flashlight ?? I can’t even find a regular flashlight. So, I really don’t want to spend the big bucks on the deluxe Alexis Bluetooth motion detectors. So what’s this poor fellow to do??? Simple: Hey Siri (voice command) to the rescue!!! So Simple..... Hey Siri >>> Turn on flashlight Flip the phone over if needed Result (The whole room lights up) I lay back down in the bed after bathroom visit Hey Siri >>> Turn flashlight off. No more tripping around in the dark Problem solved

Junk!. I have been wanting to write a review on how bad this light is for many many years. It’s only when I use it that I realize how bad it is. It keeps switching to flashing mode, will turn off arbitrarily and can be a real pain if you’re in a small place and it starts doing that. I am a commercial pilot and I had an electrical failure and had this within reach. So I use the flashlightAnd had the problems above. I just used it again, and again it started flashing SOS while I was trying to locate a part number. I am going to look for a better more dependable flashlight. Yes, I use a really good flashlight in the airplane, but this was within reach ma’am

Use to be great. Just recently this app has been bad....they have to find a better way to do ads. I work in attics and to lose your light because an ad popped up is frustrating (not to mention dangerous)...and it's not just "an" ad it's like several back to back. Once you skip the ad; You get your light back for a second or 2, then another ad pops right back up. You have to do this (in the dark) like 4 or 5 times in a row before you can use like normal again....Sorry, but there's too many non pop-up ad flashlight available. Must delete.

Comes in handy!. We always use this app whenever I drop something under the bed lol I also like to use at night when I want to read something and the lights are out. Not sure how it would help in a sos emergency or not quite sure how that works . Other than that it's pretty convenient. It's not super bright but it does the work .

Perfect for lighting needs. Don’t even have to think about this app. But I think I’d be lost without it Dark? Just not quite enough light? Just need more light for one little area? This app fits the bill. I never have to worry that it won’t open or that it will fail to do what I need it to do. I’ve had it for literally years and love it

Flashlight. This is one of the first apps I downloaded on my phone, and I've used it countless times, it's been especially useful when I needed a strong light source after blackouts, or looking for my keys, & since I always carry my phone with me at all times I'm never in the dark in any kind of emergency! Two Thumbs Up! 👍🏼👍🏼

A liability. Pitch black. Your toddler is finally asleep. You tiptoe into the bedroom to find your glasses using your trusty flashlight app knowing that any wrong move might disturb your little angel. You see the keys on the dresser. You go to pick them up. Your phone starts to STROBE like a 1980s Miami club. You try to shut it off but before you can it goes dark. Suddenly it’s flashing again. It disorients you. You lean towards your phone and slam your head on the dresser. Your keys crash. Your kid cries...and doesn’t stop. You know you will have to rock them again. For half an hour. By the time you finally get back to the couch your spouse is asleep and your chances of intimacy have too flashed into darkness. And in that darkness you will wonder why the makers of this app haven’t created a way for users to lock the flashlight function to prevent it from accidentally flashing.

Handy flashlight app!. Needed a flashlight to read at night and not disturb my husband. The standard, pre-installed flashlight app on my iPhone is not adjustable and the brightness of it feels like the sun poking through darkness in the middle of the night. This app not only adjusts brightness but also color temperature so it allows a warmer tone that doesn't disrupt your ability to fall asleep.

Works Perfect. Flashlight advertised. Flashlight received. Use it all the time and I love it. The automatic lowlight is perfect for just seeing around in the dark (say when checking on the kids without waking them) and the option for the MUCH brighter flashlight is outstanding. REALLY lights up a room and in some cases works better than a regular flashlight. No complaints! Very handy!

One of my favorite apps.. I use this very often. My phone is always handier than a flashlight, I especially if I can’t sleep and don’t want to bother anyone as I wander through the house. Using it when Getting in or out of my car after dark has prevented numerous mishaps. I just used it to read the imbedded logo on a prescription pill! Light is very bright and immediate. Recommend highly.

A must have at my age!. Have vision problems and have been so happy to have this app on my various iPhones over the last 5 years! Makes reading menus a breeze, and searching for things the kitty knocked under the bed or table! Don’t know what all those various settings are for, but I couldn’t do without this app!

Great App. Needs update for IOS 11. I used this all the time as a soft nightlight so I could go through the hall way at night without tripping on my cats. Now that I've updated to IOS 11 I'm very disappointed that it doesn't work. What was once a 5 star app is sadly now a 3 and only that because I used it every day before. I'm also a little irritated that I will have to find something else to use to light my short hallway that won't kill my eyes in the dark.

Amazingly handy. Approach my garage & the outside lighting doesn’t turn on when I walk close (after a late afternoon walk turns into night & can be a nightmare), my garage door opener on the wall is dark to input the password. I’m horrified how do I get into the house! But no more😀. The lamp on my phone is a lifesaver! Thank goodness for having that alternative! Don’t leave home without it!!!!

Flashlight. I don’t sleep well. I often wake up hungry. I don’t want to turn on lights because I don’t want to disturb my husband. So I use the flashlight. Also I often play on my iPad after he is asleep and then need to plug it in. Hard to do in the dark. So I use the flashlight. It is a whole lot easier than using my Maglight. It is much easier to hold than the Maglight if I am carrying something

To be changed on all flashlight apps. There needs to be a select button. If not a complete removal of all ads on all flashlight apps it is the main reason that I have been going through one after the other because when I hold the phone, my hand always taps the the adds bar and turns off the flashlight. Nothing is more annoying from an ad then of securing what you were trying to accomplish. whoever has the guts to get rid of the ad bar from their flashlight app will truly be the winner with all consumers.

Extremely handy!. This is one of my most frequently used apps! Yep - believe it! Used for reading the menu at dark restaurants (especially when I forget My glasses!) and of course for finding things ~ sure but the magnification is outstanding for looking at antiques or other incredibly small type! LOVE this ap and have never had a problem!

Not in the dark. Before getting this app, whenever I needed some light quickly, I was in the dark, of course. I couldn’t see well enough to figure out what I had to do. Now I know where the app is. One touch! I just used it when out looking for the meteor shower. I could navigate easily without ruining others’ night vision. Great app!el

Used to be great. I really loved this app a long time ago, and then I found the other flashlight app from ihandy. That app was a paid version, so no ads, and it had other nice features. Now, only this app remains, and all of the other apps you could switch to have vanished. I really like the text to Morse feature, but I don’t think I’d use it much, and have switched apps. So long, it was great while it lasted.

There’s an app for that?!. I never knew that there was an app for a flashlight. I just thought it was one of those buttons you pushed in your “up screen” but my wife showed me this app and it is way brighter than your regular flashlight on your phone. I don’t like how it turns off when I close the app though. I’m sure there’s a setting where you can change that

Perfect for Ghosthunting!. Recently I kept hearing scraping noises in my backyard at night and in the morning it appeared as if my garbage had been rifled through! I made the logical hypothesis that it was a ghost and then decided to see if I correct. Apparently, it was a just a homeless person but I would have never figured it out without Flashlight!

What.... It is two in the morning, after watching scary videos, I did get scared of what was in the dark, I had to go to the bathroom. So I bought this app thinking it would work. It did not work... I’m guessing people with a phone made it work. But if you did not notice, that there is a literal flashlight built into most phones... can you try making it work on a big screen too? I gave you two stars because it can be hard creating a good app. So I would not call this the worst app.

Love This Flashlight !!!. Most nights I am an insomniac, so I have frequently used this easy, efficient, and bright flashlight for quite a while. I love how how well this flashlight works every time I use it. And I love how bright the light is when I use the flashlight to go get a cup of tea while everyone in my house is sleeping. And I love that there are several different light effects I can choose from from.

Uses often. Simple, intuitive, always works as expected. I have no idea where any of the flashlights gets are in my house and whether they have any batteries. This one is always handy, and I use it often. As a bonus, it can often fit into spaces even a small flashlight could not.

flashlight. best invention ever for finding things under the sofa, finding earring backs, looking for potholes down the driveway evenings, finding housekeys in a black purse, putting on top an empty glass in a dark restaurant to read the menu, walking to the car and avoiding tree roots sticking up. Easy to use, great for safety, great for visibility, comfortable to handle, and always available. Thank you for inventing a genius flashlight!

Easy on, too easy off. One of the most useful and often used app, this light will flash on with a flick of the finger. Nice and bright. Very adjustable. All too often, however, one finds oneself having to re-adjust one’s grip in order to put the light back on. All too often the light goes out in the middle of the action and dexterity, patience and a deep breath or two are needed. I really wish it didn’t have a tendency to turn off when it is needed on. Oh well. It’s nice and bright.

WOW. Works very well when I’m trying to read my books in the dark one day my dog MaydayI left my iPad on the flashlight app to go get something Mayday actually turned it on and I was pretty confused until I knew that was her fault and I thought I would have to say “your grounded mayday” I will go campingAnd see my siblings i’m gonna teach them what not to do that’s dangerous that’s disgusting that’s mean by pittau gervais

Flashlight. Bright, simple to use. Brighter than any other flashlight App I’ve ever used. The negatives are the light makes suggestions on how to better use it. Most people want a flashlight not a bunch of in formation the first few times you use it. It can run battery down if kept on brightest mode. Lucky enough there are lesser brightness modes and a low battery mode, which I really enjoy!

iPhone 6S bug. Enter app, turn flashlight on, exit app to device home screen. Flashlight goes off, which is good, although would be nice to have a lock on state in case you want the flashlight to stay on. But back to the bug...now go back into your app. Shows flashlight as being in, but not on. You have to toggle the switch to off and then back on to get light to work. Not a big deal. Still a good flashlight app.

Completely Dependable & locatable. I always know where my iPhone 6 Plus is therefore I am always able to depend on it. Any time the lights are out I can locate it because it is large enough I know where I where it is!! I’ve always had iPhones for the last 12 years & it’s what I buy for my grandchildren. Had I known grandchildren were so much fun I would have had them FIRST...Lol

Incredibly Convenient. This app works well whenever I need it. It’s helped me in the dark inside and out, to better see small text or icons, aids in spotting my cats out in the dark because it reflects off their eyes, and helps me illustrate small bugs, beetles, other insects that I might attack without really knowing what I may be attempting to smash without the need.

Just a flashlight (thank goodness!). Our feral kitten got outside one night and I ran after it with my phone. First flashlight app I turned on started flashing and, when I tried to change the setting, an ad blocked the function! My kitten could have become an appetizer for a coyote! I deleted that and I only use this app. Simple. Elegant. That’s all I want from a flashlight app.

Used to be good. This app used to be better. Now it doesn’t light up as soon as you open the app, you have to push on the center button sometimes twice to get it going. It’s too easy to hit other buttons like the strobe button. But the worst is they just changed to have ads at the bottom of the app. Well most people using this as a flashlight grab the phone by the bottom so they hit the ad link which takes you to an ad and turns off the flashlight.

Great app !!!. I use this app on a daily basis. Anytime I need a light I turn it on and use it. The app also has a SOS button incase of an emergency. I've used this app to look for sea shells, look under a bed, anywhere you might need a flashlight.... you have one with this app. I have had this app for over 5 years and every time I upgrade my phone this is my first app I download.

Best It Could Be!!. This app is so amazing! It helped me so many times! Like for example, one time I had to get a drink of water at like midnight, and I turned on my flash light and it would penetrate the darkness at all. Then I got this... it was so helpful when I need to get out of bed for a second! I use so much now! Please download it if your flash light doesn’t work well. This is how all flash lights should be. Plus it’s free!

Really handy!. I use it sometimes at night at home to the bathroom or kitchen because it’s right there on my phone. I use it to look in my car or trunk in the dark. I used it last night to find our assigned seats in the dine-in movie theater, as well as to read the menu. Great too during a power outage! I usually gave people ask what app it is.

Walking. I walk every morning at 7am. Sometimes the sun has risen, but when the time changes twice a year , we sometimes find we’re walking in the dark. I always carry my phone, so without having to carry a light, I can just reach for my cell phone to watch my feet ! It’s handy in a dark restaurant too!

Good App Turned Bad. This app used to be useful for the flashlight and I love the compass idea but recently ads pop up that take you to the App Store to download whatever it is they are advertising and it shuts off the light. And what's worse is when you cancel the first ad to go back to the light another ad pops up which happens over and over again....so annoying. I'm deleting this app and going with another because I use the light in the Morning to take my dog outside and it has to be reliable.

great features but ads ruin it. I don't mind ads in apps, but in this case they appear where you're most likely to hit it with your hand. This being a flashlight app, you're using it in darkness, but when you hit the ad it goes to a browser and guess what? the light turns off, leaving you in the dark. I love the fact the light level is adjustable but the ad problem means I felt like I had no choice but uninstall.

Love this app. I love this app. I use it instead of a real flashlight because it is easy access. Let's be honest we all love our phones and know where they are (most of the time it's in our hands) the reason I rated it a 4 instead of 5 is because we went camping and one night out of three the light wouldn't turn on. Other than that one time I have used this app anytime I need a handy light!

Best Flashlight app. I have not been buying other flashlights to test but I can tell that this one is the one that can come the most useful. The mini map is very accurate and was helpful when I was out running around the woods with my friends. The flashlight is bright too, it’s SOS ability and strobe lighting seem a little excessive but it’s good to know I have that lighting if I need it. Over all 10/10 recommended.

BEYOND Frustrating!! 😠. The ads on this app have a mind of their own! The flashlight works for about 2 minutes, then it flicks off and takes me to the App Store. I hit the back button, and the flashlight pops back up for a nano-second before it takes me to the App Store AGAIN! This happened no less than 5x in the space of about 10 minutes. I tried to delete the app, but it won't let me!! 😠 When I hold down the button to delete it, it only asks me if I want to share it. NO THANKS!! I wouldn't share this AD-CRAZY app with my worst enemy!! It's awful!!

We like this flashlight. My husband and I both have this app on our phones. It really works well when we are in need of checking maps and sometimes paperwork. It is also very useful when checking out fine print in small spaces-like on our Dish receiver. When we have to push this or that to get it rebooted this flashlight helps us see which button to push. Thank you

Honesty/ no fluff. I haven't used many flashlight apps, but this as the others uses your flash and it's free without the adds being annoying. I would recommend this to any friend and have used this since my iPhone 4. I don't get paid by or have any connection with any computer company, fully honest independent review.

Perfect for m morning walk with three dogs. I forgot my handheld flashlight when I took my three dogs out before daylight on their leashes. They immediately scramble through my wooded area and got tangled in a small branch. I was able to download and use the flashlight in what seemed like seconds and use it. It's the perfect amount of light and I could remove the branch from the leash.

Works great for safety. Works great especially when it’s foggy out in the morning and I’ve got to catch the public transportation bus . Just turn dial and get the flashing lights started so the driver can see me standing there and doesn’t pass me by . Also helps other drivers to see someone is standing along side the road at a bus stop.

Yucky. I don't know why everyone is so happy about this App. If you like just using your white /color screen on your device, then you'll like it. But I need a light that I can get that is I can access fast and easily and nice and bright like I get on my iPhone. I played around with it quite a bit before I submitted this App before this review. If there were more like his I'd be giving my review-50. Mostly because their attitude towards this post. They have not been helpful is putting it mildly. So I don't expect this post to be here long. I hope you enjoy this App and find it helpful. Oh and FYI App person who is being a pain, both iPhone and iPad are. So.........

You guys are not very bright. Guys, this app is an app that make money because you don’t know how to use the control center. Swipe up on your phone and it will pop up a control center where you can tap on flashlight. This app does nothing. Also I put this as five stars so people would see this
