## What is Flashlight Ω?

Easy & FREE flashlight app!

Use your device L.E.D. for intense, bright light or use your screen for softer light.

Adjust the brightness of the light, perfect for low-light conditions.

Customize the light color, or use the standard white.

Many extra features, such as:

S.O.S. (morse code) for emergencies, including audio tones.

Emergency mode, that displays a selectable combination of flashing colors. Siren included.

Strobe effect for fun in the darkness.  You can even adjust the flash rate.

Glow stick light, tap to break it and shake to mix the light-producing chemicals.

And more!

Useful for many situations:
Power failures
Bedside night light
Finding things in the dark
Hiking & camping
Astronomy / stargazing
Book light
...and just about anywhere a normal flashlight is used.

As with any flashlight app, using the LED for a prolonged period can drain your battery quickly.  For extended light durations, please use the screen light.

Strobe effects have been known to cause seizures.  Use with caution.

### 5/5 — AMAZING!!

*2026-01-16, version 3.07*

The strobe and stuff is so crazy and awesome😃

### 5/5 — Still good for old school

*2025-07-14, version 3.07*

For what this does, it does well. Those who complain have a simple and easy answer: write/program your own application. 
     I put this on an old iPad 2, never expecting much. I m very pleasantly surprised by how capable it is. 

Live life,

### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted

*2025-01-22, version 3.07*

It’s a gentle screen flashlight, perfect for evening tasks without disturbing the sleeping ones.

### 1/5 — ダサい

*2024-10-27, version 3.07*

使いにくい

### 1/5 — 사이키는 왜 ㅂㅅ일까

*2024-08-29, version 3.07*

ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

### 1/5 — 本当に使わない方がいい

*2022-10-24, version 3.07*

他のレビューにもあるようにストロボを使用すると、設定を変えても強制再起動してもアプリをアンインストールしても、何をしようとも画面がずっとチカチカしてます。直す方法はないそう。iPhone一台潰す覚悟ある人はご使用ください。

### 4/5 — 感想として

*2021-12-27, version 3.07*

すごいいろんな機能あって、ほんとは★★★★★にしたいんですが、スマホの設定画面の面倒さが消えるんですが、このアプリバックグラウンドでは何もできないのだけが欠点だと思い、★★★★☆にしました。
もしできたら、バックグラウンドでLEDを光らせられるようにしてくださると助かります。
ちなみに、このライトの色感(オレンジがかってるけどほぼ白)はすごい目に優しいし見やすくて助かります。

### 2/5 — ユーザーのことを考えてない。

*2021-12-14, version 3.07*

このアプリをオンにしてその上に紙を置いて使うのに、ダブルタップするとオフになってスマホの懐中電灯がオンになるという謎機能のせいで書いてる途中に何回も切り替わる。完全に無しにしろとは言わないがせめて設定でオフにして欲しい。なんでこんな訳の分からない機能を付けるのか、今の数1の授業並に意味が分からない。腹減った早く美術終わってくれ。

### 5/5 — 結構いいと思う

*2021-11-20, version 3.07*

タイトルの通り

### 5/5 — 最高

*2021-08-23, version 3.07*

Appleのアクセスガイド機能と一緒に使ったら最強になりました！ありがとうございます！！！
