Flashlight by Rik
Fastest, smallest, totally free (no ads!) flashlight that will launch with all remembered settings. A must-have for your iPhone.
Averaging 5-star ratings and over 1 million downloads, this flashlight app is a must-have utility for your phone: simple, useful, very small and very fast. It fully remembers its state when you quit, and doesn't have any useless bloated art.
It transforms your iPhone 4 or 4S (iOS 4.3 or above, including iOS 5) 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.
- 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
- Small, small, small. Less than 1/10th the size of most other apps
Caveats:
- It is impossible to keep the flash running in the background, the iOS forbids it.
- For those who asked for a way to dim the light (it's very powerful), I'm sorry but this also can't be done.
- The theoretical lower strobe limit is about 10ms, which is what this app achieves.
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
What's new
Even smaller.
Even faster.
Updated for iOS 5.1
Using all black and shades of grey, as the default blue is too out of place in the dark.
