After I turn off my crafting light I quickly realize I am going to be walking into walls as I don’t have any lights on. That’s where the flashlight app comes in so handy. I just tap on the icon and my basement suite is illuminated. No more bumping into walls for this gal. I also like that the light stays on until I turn it off. ### 5/5 — Title *2025-08-13, version 3.13.1* Review ### 5/5 — Good *2025-08-09, version 3.13.1* It’s sooooooooooooooooooo goooooooooooooooooooood ### 5/5 — Good for tents *2025-07-26, version 3.13.1* When me my friend went camping we couldn’t see where the zipper for the tent was so i decided to to get a flashlight app so we could see and it worked really well but if your looking for in entertainment app I wouldn’t get this ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Mines data now *2026-08-30, version 3.13.3* Now this app will try to mine data, I want a flashlight, not to try to get tricked on what data I do or don’t want to share every time I open the damn app ### 1/5 — Meh😤 *2026-08-12, version 3.13.3* This THING of yours DOESN’T EVEN WORK What is it rated? 4.5?!
