Ringing Flashlight 3.9.6
It's a nice app that makes your phone flash when you receive a call, a text message or a notification from another app. It comes with lots of tools for adjusting settings and preferences to make the app more appealing to users.
Sleek UI with lots of features at hand
The app doesn't come with a tutorial or any kind of instructions, which is quite inconvenient since the app could use a presentation to show users where they can find all sort of tools. In addition, it needs material design or at least a side menu with quick access to its features.
It simply displays a list of settings that you can adjust and you'll need to scroll down to check them out. The interface isn't appealing at all, it's quite simplistic and it seems a bit tiring for the eyes.
Have your phone flash when you receive a call
The app is really useful especially if you don't want to disturb people with your phone ringing. It's also great if you're searching for your device in a room with the lights off.
The app comes with some tips and the option to check out a video with more instructions. It even has an icon that you can click in case the flash doesn't stop, which may raise some concerns regarding the app's stability.
You can enable the flash for when you receive a call and adjust the blink speed of the app. There's even a test icon that you can press and see how the app works.
More tools and features
Users can enable the flash for incoming text messages, have the phone blink for how many times they wish and adjust the speed. The app may not work on all devices, especially if you installed third-party SMS applications like Handcent SMS or Hangout.
Some SMS applications may block the app from receiving SMS notifications. Still, you can have it flash on notifications and disable the app when the phone is on silent mode, vibration or when you turn off notifications.
There's also the option to automatically turn off the app when battery levels reach a certain percent and shake your phone to disable the app. You can set a disable and pick the day of the week and time when you would like the app to be active.

The interface could use some more features and a nice layout, to make it easier to navigate through sections. |
Function8
It works just fine, but the app needs more features to make it appealing to users. |

It needs access to some areas of your phone so you don't need to worry about the app posing any privacy issues. |
Battery2
Consumption seems quite high, so keep an eye on resources when using this app. |
Price8
It comes with some annoying banner ads, but there's no option of removing them with an upgrade. |
Compatibility8
The app should work on devices running Android version 2.3 or later, making the app available to many users. |
It needs some fixes, but it's still worth a try.
