Go get it! - Not only does what it promises, but does it very well. It's the last app I use every day to walk from the door (where the lightswitch is) to the bed. Thanks!

### 5/5 — This app saved my life

*2026-05-31, version 4.0*

I never thought a basic smartphone flashlight app would literally save my life, but it did. While exploring a local cave system, my dedicated tactical headlamp suffered a sudden battery failure, leaving me in absolute, pitch-black darkness.Panicked and unable to see my hand in front of my face, I managed to pull out my phone and launch this app. The maximum brightness mode was an absolute lifesaver. It cut through the underground gloom perfectly, illuminating the rocky terrain so I could see footing hazards, low ceilings, and the path ahead.What really impressed me was how optimized the app is. Even after 45 minutes of continuous navigation to crawl and climb my way back to the cave entrance, my phone battery barely dropped and the phone didn't overheat. The built-in compass feature also helped me keep my bearings when the cave passages started to twist.If you think you don't need a reliable flashlight app because you carry regular gear, think again. Backup tools matter. This app turned a potential survival nightmare into a safe walk back to my car. Download it right now—you never know when you will truly need it.

### 5/5 — My dad used to use this

### 1/5 — Très pratique

*2025-08-28*

Application simple et pratique, fait bien ce qu’on lui demande

### 1/5 — Nope

*2025-03-21*

What’s the point of having the convenience of shaking the phone to turn flashlight on/off if you have to open the app for the shaking to turn phone on/off? Super lame. Deleted.
