### 4/5 — Amazing app, but one problem

*2025-11-29*

This is the best flashlight app on the App Store that connects to the iPhone 16 Pro’s flashlight. My one problem is that I am working on a science fair relating to flashlights. I need the flashlight to be at most 50 hertz, not at a max of 30 hertz.
