## What is 1Tap Flashlight?

When you need light in a hurry, the built-in flashlight can feel a little too buried.
1Tap Flashlight — Turbo Bright keeps the torch, SOS, strobe, screen light, and auto-off timer in one simple place.
Open it, tap once, and see exactly what is on without hunting through menus.
It is made for small everyday problems and the occasional moment when you really do need a better light.
Download 1Tap Flashlight — Turbo Bright, and spend less time fiddling when you need to see.

Your iPhone already has a flashlight. So why use this?

Because the system flashlight is mostly just a switch.
That is fine for quick use. But real life is messier than on and off.

Sometimes you want a softer screen light at night instead of a harsh flash.
Sometimes you want a strobe so people can notice you near a road, in a garage, or outdoors.
Sometimes the power goes out and you want the light to turn off by itself later.
Sometimes you want an SOS signal without figuring things out in the moment.

1Tap Flashlight — Turbo Bright puts those needs into a cleaner, faster interface.

Use it for:

• Quick torch access
A large, clear button makes it easy to turn the light on when you need it.

• SOS signal
Useful outdoors, on night walks, near your car, or whenever you need a visible alert.

• Strobe mode
A blinking light can draw attention better than a steady beam.

• Screen light
Use your display as a softer lamp for bedside use, checking a sign, finding something at night, or avoiding a harsh flash.

• Auto-off timer
Set a timer for temporary light, bedtime, or a power outage, then let it stop on its own.

• Battery status
See battery information while the light is on, so you have a better sense of how long you can keep going.

1Tap Flashlight — Turbo Bright does not try to make a simple thing complicated.
It just makes the kinds of light you actually use easier to reach.

The system flashlight is still there.
But if you want your phone light to be easier to control, 1Tap Flashlight — Turbo Bright is worth keeping around.

Note: Continued use of the flash may significantly reduce battery life.

### 1/5 — Bad -correction VERY bad

*2013-07-06, version 4.0.4*

This is the worst torch app I have ever had!  Pop sTar

### 5/5 — Great simple app!!!

*2012-12-20*

I am very happy with this app. All I ever wanted was a simple app with 1 function. None of the silly flashing functions. I very impressed and happy with this. Haven't had any problems!!! Thanks :)

### 5/5 — Amazing App!

*2012-09-16*

Thanks so for this app, it's free and basic and realistic and fast and easy, without those annoying features!

### 1/5 — No Good

*2012-09-02*

I deleted as soon as the ads popped up. Slow loading!

### 5/5 — A torch!

*2012-08-02, version 3.1.1*

A last a torch with no strobe or gimmicks. Could do with some polishing improve to switch and torch to stat on when phone locked   Very good

### 3/5 — Works - BUT I hope you don't need light fast

*2012-07-20*

I have the paid version. I didn't give it 1 star because it does work and does what it says, BUT I can't give it 5 stars because of the delay after starting the app to the the light coming on. Unless the app is already running in resident memory, you have to wait about 20 seconds before the light comes on. That's unacceptable.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2012-05-19*

Yes, I want an app to turn on the light with one tap. But without ads, without sounds. The "paid version" also has graphics and a compass. I don't want that either!

### 2/5 — Alright

*2012-04-12, version 2.0.1*

This is an alright game not da best but it works

### 1/5 — Doesn't work on old iPhone models

*2011-12-03, version 1.6*

I don't think that this app works on other models than iphone4. I downloaded it but it didn't work for me.

### 5/5 — Great flashlight

*2011-11-27*

Finally, a phone light that doesn't turn off with the screen. That is a huge plus!
