Turn your phone into a proper lighting tool. Fun Flashlight is more than a lamp: steady light, strobe, SOS morse, breathe, interval, red night light, screen light with effects, low-light camera fill, sound-driven rhythm — and multi-device sync so several phones share one lighting setup. FIVE MODULES • Torch: steady / strobe / breathe / interval / SOS morse (custom message) / red night vision. Fine-tune brightness, frequency and duty cycle. • Screen Light: turn the whole screen into a soft light panel in any colour — solid, rainbow, breathe, wave, gradient, strobe, interval and random effects, plus marquee text and a colour timeline. • Camera Fill Light: frame your shot in low light with the flash held on, or light your face with the screen for selfies. Photos save straight to your library. • Music Rhythm: the mic listens to the beat around you, or import your own tracks — the light blasts on each beat or swells with the volume. Silent mode flashes without sound. • Multi-device Sync: phones on the same Wi-Fi find each other automatically. Start on one, and every device follows the same lighting — no server, no data usage. WHY YOU'LL KEEP IT · Clean: no account, no ads, no analytics SDK. We collect nothing. · Works offline: all audio analysis happens locally on your device. Nothing is uploaded. · Made for performing: the full-screen view keeps the display awake and at full brightness, and a long press locks it against accidental taps. · Easy on the eyes: a soft red-light mode for night use. · Versatile: lighting, ambience, celebrations, outdoors and photo fill light. ABOUT PRO Core features are free forever. Music Rhythm and Multi-device Sync are Pro features and can be unlocked with an auto-renewable subscription (weekly or monthly) or a one-time lifetime purchase: · Your App Store account is charged within 24 hours before the end of the current period unless auto-renew is turned off beforehand. · The subscription renews automatically until cancelled in iOS Settings → your Apple Account → Subscriptions. · The lifetime purchase is a single one-time payment that stays valid permanently. It does not auto-renew and incurs no further charges. · Exact prices and billing periods are those shown on the in-app purchase screen and the App Store payment sheet. · After reinstalling or switching devices, restore your entitlement with "Restore Purchase". SAFETY Strobe and rhythm modes may pose a risk to people with photosensitive epilepsy. Do not use these features if you or your family have such a condition. Do not look directly at the light source, and avoid using flashing modes near anyone who may be photosensitive.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Reading Light at free against Fun Flashlight's freemium. Reading Light also leads on ratings volume (4 vs 1). Fun Flashlight's advantage is device support and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
