ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flashlight & Morse Utility holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flashlight & Morse Utility has 3.8K ratings behind it against 358, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Flashlight & Morse Utility's written reviews are positive against 82% of FlashLight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Flashlight & Morse Utility ships an update every 6 months, FlashLight monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
