iFlashlight Pro turns your iPhone or iPad into a fast, reliable light, ready the instant you need it. Slide to set exactly the brightness you want, from a gentle glow to full power, using the LED flash. Need to signal for help? Switch to SOS for an automatic, recognizable flashing pattern. Want light right now? Instant Light gets you to full brightness with a single tap. No flash, or want a wider glow? Turn the whole screen into a light with a white or yellow screen light, great for reading in bed, finding something in a bag, or lighting up a room from any angle. Simple by design: no clutter, no confusing settings, just a big, easy-to-tap interface that puts the right light in your hands instantly. Please note: using the flash continuously can reduce battery life faster than normal use.
