Flashlight 4.0.0.0
In order to exploit some extra possible uses for that handset component, all you need is a dedicated application like the one suggestively called Flashlight.
Plain but very practical GUI for fast operation
This utility is less visually appealing than other similar apps, but it offers a well thought layout, with all the commands and functions conveniently placed for ease of access. The high-contrast dark theme of the application makes everything very easy to read even in complete darkness.
The response after a button is pressed is very quick and the only thing faster is the light that comes from the flash even before the ON button is illuminated in the main screen.
Use the light in several modes with just a couple of taps
Flashlight provides more than a steady stream of light when the main function is activated, as it has some extra modes you can use it in. thus, you can activate the "tap and hold" function to turn on the light by keeping pressed the main button on the screen or the physical camera button on the side of your phone.
This tool can make your flash work like a stroboscopic lamp and you can adjust manually the time interval, the frequency and the beats per minute values by simply moving the dedicated slider.
The app can be used for sending emergency S.O.S. signals and the last scenario involves using the screen as source of light with customizable color and brightness controls.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
The appearance of this utility is its Achilles' heel as it is quite unattractive and only the practicality of the layout saves it some points in this respect. |
Function10
Flashlight comes well prepared for many situations and has the advantage of being able to keep the light on run even if the screen is locked. The strobe light, S.O.S. mode and live battery information are some most welcomed extras. |
Security10
The application is safe to use as it keeps well off all the sensitive areas of the system where user and device sensitive data is stored. |
Battery8
The app has a low to moderate power consumption throughout its usage, but if the flash is kept on for longer periods of time, the battery will surely drain faster. |
Price10
A most valuable tool anyone can try on their phones, Flashlight offers a good deal of capabilities at no cost and scores top marks in this respect. |
Compatibility7
The user base for this app is somewhat limited as it addresses only Windows Phone 8 and above handsets that have a built-in camera flash. |
The guiding light to carry in your pocket every day and night
