Flashlight for iPhone + iPad Reviews

by KOTYBEAR0828

I hardly never right reviews, but Flashlight has changed my mind in this case. Sounded cool, looked cool, then used it. Loved it at first...I hate that I turn this on to try and find something and my fingers slip and I am in “rave” mode with flashing lights..no problem, I turn it back to zero and it stays on. Turning it to Sos mode used to work now I have to exit out then back in. Not cool when you’re looking for something in a precarious position that your grandchild dropped in the middle of the seat and console or to sneak up on a mysterious critter you are trying to identify that keeps coming around. Going into flashing mode just scared it away and alerted your neighbors as to some strange person creeping around outside not to mention giving you an enormous headache if your prone to migraines.

There should be a button in the settings that allows you to switch to these modes or to turn them off completely to use one specifically. Reading the reviews, it looks like I am not the only one who thinks so. Also, having an ad pop up full screen in the middle is just as bad. No, I don’t want to play a pop the bubbles game when I am in a dark area trying to keep safe or trying to fix something.

I think it’s dumb that Apple decided for everyone that the iPad didn’t need a camera light. I would seriously like to use it on the iPad and no I don’t need to buy into your eco system and only buy the products that you want to sell to me. These makeshift apps that create a “screen light” are NOT at all like an actual this app. And then, when I deleted it because it was not what I wanted … it kept reappearing. Now I’m annoyed and writing a review.

Note to developers- covertly trying to stay installed is rude and using the picture of a camera light for your app cover is deceiving. What else are you hiding ?
I’ll just go buy a this app, thanks.

This this app app drives me ABSOLUTELY NUTS. Almost every time I have to use it for one practical reason or another, I end up either accidentally clicking on an ad that takes me off the this app app (thus cutting off the light when I am in the middle of using it) or starting a mini rave with the strobe light feature that increases and decreases the frequency of the blinking light depending on the number I somehow land on. What makes it particularly irritating is that half the time I try to go back to “0” to turn off the strobe feature, it doesn’t work... it actually will end up blinking faster. All I can say is thank God I’m not epileptic.

Oh, and it would be awesome if the this app would still stay on even when I open totally separate app and keep the this app app running in the background. But nope, it cuts off immediately once I leave the main screen.

So, I decided to download Flashlight because my iPad doesn’t have a this app, because the title of Flashlight say “this app For IPhone and IPad” , Alright so you know I downloaded Flashlight , waited for it to be downloaded and started checking to see if it works or if it was a lie, I open it to not see a shocker to me, and it said “Your Iphone doesnt have a this app so we can’t really use it” And I was so confused because I don’t have a iphone or ipod, but the title of Flashlight literally says “For IPad” I just cant

So Flashlight completely stopped working today because I had the AUDACITY to dim it a tiny bit. I was in a very dark spot and needed to read something that happened to be coated in plastic. The initial reflection off the plastic was SO BRIGHT back into my eye I dimmed it to about 80%. How DARE I??!! Flashlight responded by dimming things down to USELESS% - I literally couldn’t see anything. When I swiped the brightness back and forth it refused to change. When I toggled between ON/OFF it just stayed at USELESS%. When I spun the Devil’s Dial - you know the one you NEVER want that ALWAYS activates spontaneously when you’re walking in the dark and carrying ten things, that one - I swear Flashlight laughed at me. So I closed and opened. Same. I hard closed and opened. Same. Came back hours later. Same. Turned on my Control Center this app and I heard the Hallelujah Chorus. Let there be bright light! Back to your app? Yep. Same. So swiping it is.

I used to use Flashlight all the time because I have a newborn and I find the apple this app hard to get to (I either have to swipe just right from the upper right corner with my small hands or hard press from the home page which I don’t always find the easiest to do). With the latest update I’ve found the light only stays on for about 10 seconds and I can’t get it to come back on once it times out. Because of this I deleted Flashlight and downloaded a different one.

If you just want a light so you can see what you’re doing, get something else. If you want a spontaneous disco party while your juggling groceries and trying to find the keys you dropped, this is a good one, because it might suddenly decide you want to send “hello world” to any aliens who might be watching instead of finding your keys. Want it to flag at random? Got it. Shine a simple light in the darkness? That’s a different app. Because god know you don’t need to be shown some random ad when you’re running down a trail trying not to get eaten by a bear.

What’s the point of Flashlight if there is already a this app conveniently on your phone. Also the flashing lights aren’t any different colors, I also think that the different modes are just pretty much the same. The different colors don’t even appear on the this app, just on the screen. I also agree that there shouldn’t be ads in the middle of when you wanna see something in the dark. You can just get a this app on your phone without having to unlock it. I did not really like Flashlight .

by Sunshine6161

What I really dislike about Flashlight (and the main reason I’m here, in Flashlight Store, looking for a different this app app, is the constant switching from steady beam to SOS or any of the strobe flash settings with barely any touch or if I happen to move my hand while holding my iPhone. The SOS/strobe feature is good...it needs to be less easy to set that off. Otherwise a good app.

by Mknowes

I downloaded it because seeing this this app app had the most downloads at 87K… Upon downloading it and opening to use for the first time as I turned my volume on my iPhone up a noise was being heard in second or two increments - sound something like “woosh woosh woosh” and it didn’t stop so I uninstalled it after not being able to get it from stopping... has anyone else had this problem and if so was it resolved?

by Jcprins

I really like this this app and it has saved my skin on a number of occasions. I use it when walking dogs after dark and to peer in dark corners and to assist during blackouts. The reason I gave it only 4 stars is because the controls as to whether the light is constant or flashing changes far too easily. It is extremely annoying.

by Mimibkind

I was walking my dog at night and there was an area without street light and I heard an animal and was scared as I couldn’t see what it was. Opened App Store and downloaded this this app which worked perfectly to allow me to see that the animal was an armadillo. This this app is bright and has a good distance range. I use it a lot for many uses.

Getting up during the night , using my this app is so convenient. Safety too! Just think a this app and a phone. Love it. I also use it when I go to restaurants that it’s hard to read the menu especially if you forget your glasses! It’s been there for me and worked for me many times!!

by Blackbird777

Many features, night white and other colors and tints if you'd like it as ambient light rather than for simply illuminating your way.

Check it out! It's an interesting this app app. I use it regularly at my house in the woods to get around the homesite when a large beam light isn't necessary.

During a hurricane a few years past, the electricity was turned off. As the storm intensified, our family decided we better take refuge in an interior stairwell in our building. We took turns using each of our iPhones flashlights app to make it up the dark staircase. We sure were glad our phones were charged.

by Maggiemoonbeam

I have been using Flashlight for years and I am quite satisfied with it. My only gripes are its tendency to put a full-page popup on the screen while my slightly tech-resistant spouse is using the this app. And it switches modes of its on volition, usually to S.O.S., which also sends spouse into panic.
He uses an iPhone 5, and I had the same issue with my 5 until I upgraded to an XS.
I think that’s the issue.

by Azakens135

No offense to the developers but there is a this app already on your phone it’s under the control bar the only reason you should have this is for fire mode or if you have a older phone without the this app feature

by OregonStrong

I can never easily pull down my ProMax 12 this app... so cumbersome. This this app app... as soon as you hit Flashlight the this app automatically comes on, no more action is needed. When I get out of app it automatically turns itself off. Why can't everything be this easy. Apple keeps making something that used to be easy, so complicated anymore, why?

I love my built-in camera. We were driving down the swamp Road dark swampy dirt road. Fair come out and hit the front of her car knocking our battery Loose, That’s cause you’re on somebody to have to get out of the car and fix it. I didn’t know if the bear was dead injured or what so we both got out I have a this app with my back to the truck looking around in the dark as if I’m going to see a bear in the pitch black darkness. Quickest vehicle fixed in history...

by RADAR1942

I work in RANDALLS grocery, we have had a loss of power several times due to the weather. I work in the back of the store and it was pitch black so I used my light to continue working. This is only one occasion of many. Can’t live without it.

What the heck, doesn’t everyone have a this app in their phone?! Honestly your just dumb for downloading Flashlight, and before you say “oh you downloaded it”, no I didn’t . It was on my phone when I got it used. iPhone 8 and it works just fine... just like the this app built into the phone. So don’t be dumb and just use that. If you don’t know how to get to your flash light then just swipe up from the bottom of your screen and press the this app button if you have an iPhone 6-8 I believe and after that you swipe from the top, so there you go, a good review from an IT man who’s father is an IT man so I’m good with technology and just saying, this is stupid. If downloaded just delete. If the this app on your phone doesn’t work then get a new phone. And yeah there’s no way you can use a different colored light on your phone. That would take a bulkier phone with extra crap that’s practically useless. So thank you for reading.

It isn't often that I have the opportunity to provide a positive review of a product. This this app not only possesses an unmatched elegance in style, but the functionality of the highest quality.... just touch the power button in the center of the screen and the darkness that inhibited you vanishes with pure light. Powerful LED technology will enlighten your day.

The this app app is very useful. However, Flashlight will sometimes get stuck on the strobing which is very irritating. The advertisements always pop up at an inconvenient time. But my kids know how to use it and it has helped whiling camping and even just wandering down to the bathroom at night.

by Thynkerbell

Since you always have your phone, you always have a this app. Easy to use in the dark. Great for finding things. Allows you to turn off all the lights in the evening & easily navigate your way upstairs.

by BigDave263

This camera is great I use it all the time especially when “ when I am on the spot”.....lol.......” i’m on the spot a lot”.

Whether it’s the front porch light out and can’t find the key hole to open the front door or looking for the dog in the backyard fishing at dusk and you’re trying to You’re line or even catching the fish and getting the pliers and taking the hook out??

I use the this app for all these things and many many more I can’t think of right now like I said I’m on the spot a lot !!

Thank you very much for your great flash light!!!
