### 1/5 — Seizure

*2019-09-23, version 1.6*

My epileptic brother saw that and started break dancing on the floor

### 1/5 — Not what I expected not good either

### 5/5 — N/A

*2019-02-03, version 1.6*

Quick, small size, simple to use, my favorite after trying many similar flashlights

### 5/5 — BEST FLASHLIGHT EVER FOR POLICE ENFORCEMENT

*2019-01-05, version 1.6*

Tell police about it

### 5/5 — So far, so GREAT!

*2018-01-12, version 1.6*

I’ve looked at 100 flashlight apps and they all seem to be complicated, come with noisy ads, aren’t bright enough, etc!

Sheesh!  I just want a simple, silent, bright flashlight - not a new multi-function appliance!

So far, this is the best I’ve found. Bright beam, no loud “click” to startle anyone when I get up in the night or want to check on kids.  An non-obtrusive ad bar at the top is silent and easy to ignore. 

It DOES have a strobe, an SOS and a Morse Code function (cool!) but if you’re on the main screen, it only has a touch button (only lights as long as your finger is on the button) and a normal “on/off” switch. 

If there are no surprises down the road, this is the PERFECT flashlight!  

Thanks!

### 1/5 — Jakel

*2017-08-12, version 1.6*

Garbage. Only loads an add and a white screen

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-04-08, version 1.6*

Doesn't work

### 5/5 — Simple Flashlight

*2017-01-02, version 1.6*

This flashlight does exactly what it says it's going to do, it turns on and turns off. It has a nifty switch that's old school and a hold button that actually works. 
The developers included a strobe, SOS and Morse code translator. 
I really like the translator- KUDOS for that. 
If you want a light that does lots of stuff, this won't cut it. Access the app, turn it on and there you go. The End. 🤓🍪🤓

### 1/5 — Kyle Knipp

*2016-10-13, version 1.5*

### 5/5 — Handy tool , good to have

*2016-09-04, version 1.2*

Wonderful app
