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.
