Multiple Errors

On an iPhone 11 Pro Max the following errors:-
1. Screen does not dim when started.
2. Torch does not come on until all four torch windows are selected.
3. There is no torch brilliance control (levels 1 to 3 no torch light)
4. Other filter flash timings are inconsistent (e.g. flashes at 1min but not at 2min)

Developer got back to me again. This is the information:-
“We just confirmed that #1, #2, #3 is an iOS bug. We have reported this issue to Apple. Hopefully they will fix this soon. We tried everything we could, but just couldn’t get around this issue. We are looking into the other issues. “

Well, I have to hand it to the developer, they do keep their users updated with info. Once the issues are sorted by Apple I do believe I will be happy with this App and more importantly very happy with the developer.

We just confirmed that #2 and #3 are caused by an iOS bug. We have reported this issue to Apple. Hopefully they will fix this soon. We tried everything we could, but just couldn’t get around this issue. Sorry. I encourage you to try other flashlight apps and see if you run into the same problem. E.g. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/flashlight/id381471023 We are looking into the other issues.

Interesting!

But would be really good if it also worked as ‘alarm clock’: the light comes on when it ends the count, or at specific time settings. Like: I set the wake up time at 7:00, and the light comes on at 7:00
As for flashing light: I have some torch light apps that have the option to flash, one of these in Morse code. So I suspect there might be some option for flashing/blinking?
Thank you anyway!

Thanks for the response.
Actually, it would not be a problem for me: overnight I charge the phone anyway, and I could set it to ‘never lock’ for the night.... not exactly ideal, but a possibility.
But a question: isn’t the iphone clock working as an alarm no matter the status? I also think I have seen some other clock apps working as alarms?

It’s a fascinating idea. But unfortunately it wouldn’t work well because iOS doesn’t allow the app the turn the light on if the screen is locked or the app is put in background. To turn the light on at 7am, the phone screen has to be on throughout the night. Clocks work, yes. Check out my other app 1Timer - Voice Timer (which is free right now), it works when the screen is locked. But it’s just impossible to get the flashlight turned on when the screen is locked.

Doesn’t have flashlight per second in the timer?

?? What does the app do? There is no flashing light?

Response from developer

Flashlight here means torchlight. This app does not flash the flashlight. Feel free to get a refund from Apple. Thanks.

Needs a button

Wish this app had the same minutes/seconds button like Voice Timer.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. The option to switch to seconds has been added to settings since version 4.1. Please consider adjusting your rating if that resolved your issue. However, if you still believe it’s four star, we respect your decision.

Excellent!

Excellent. Couldn't be simpler.

Super easy way to run your device LED light for a specific amount of time and never worry about forgetting to turn it off, just let this app do it for you.

From the main screen simply select the amount of time you want it to run and let 'er rip. Can adjust the brightness level in real time as well.

The app automatically dims the screen brightness as well so saves battery at same time. If you dont want the screen to dim you can change that in the app settings.

Easy peasy all the way.

5 Stars for sure.

Thank you!

not the functionality I wanted

app must be open with device unlocked to work.

Response from developer

Due to system limitations, keeping flashlight on while the phone is locked isn’t something an app can do. Please feel free to ask Apple for refund. Thanks.

体验反馈,提一个小小的建议

因为你们的语音计时器做的实在是无可挑剔,使用起来体验极佳,堪称ios倒计时类作品最佳,没有之一,所以,感谢你们的团队,愿你们所有的作品都能越来越好/这几天开始在用手电筒了,我提一个小小的建议,也许对于完善app能起到一点点帮助,就是在通知栏小组件可以实现锁屏状态下开启手电筒,那就方便多了,有时候是临时需要用一下手电筒,不用再去开锁,这个也不会给手机带来安全方面的问题,不知道能不能实现。

Response from developer

多谢支持和鼓励!会努力做得更好。 不好意思,系统限制,锁屏状态下无法开启手电筒。

Request

Can you make the light stay on when you get out of the app?

Response from developer

Unfortunately, no. That is not something Apple allows.
