Flashlight (smallte.ch) 1.4.8.0
Flashlight is one of the utilities that are able to put to good use the camera flash and even use the phone's screen to illuminate the surroundings.
Sleek appearance and convenient placement of the functions
The polished interface offers quick access to the switches that turn on the LED flash or light up the whole surface of the screen. The metal finish look is quite appealing, but the ads shown in the lower side of the screen spoil some of the attractiveness.
The responsiveness of the commands is very good and the color selector for the screen luminance moves seamlessly to the desired hue once you tap and hold the finger on the color wheel.
Effortless operation and extra effects for nice luminous effects
Using Flashlight you can turn on the camera flash with one tap on the dedicated button and, while it is on, the battery indicator is also shown on the screen, so you can get a rough idea on how long you can keep the torch active before the energy drains completely.
The ability to light up the screen using the colors you desire will certainly be a plus because it allows you, for example, to shed a relaxing light in your room when reading or unwinding from work. There is also a special function for locking the color wheel so as to avoid accidentally modifying the chromaticism.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
Flashlight has a really nice appearance to it, with a great finish on all elements of the interface. Nonetheless, the continuously changing ads can become bothersome and steal the focus at times. |
Function9
The app uses both light resources available on the handset and can turn the phone into a torchlight with one tap. The possibility to choose the screen light color is a welcomed bonus for its users. |
Security7
Even if this is only a flashlight application, the utility will access the phone and owner identity, activate the location services and look in other areas that are not relevant for its functioning. |
Battery3
For those looking for a quick way of depleting the phone battery, Flashlight is ready to oblige as its power consumption is through the roof. |
Price9
This utility is certainly a bargain since it offers its full functionality free of fees, but it still contains advertisements and this lessens its overall value a bit. |
Compatibility9
The app is well suited for Windows Phone 7.5 and higher, with no special requirements other than access to the camera and other areas of the system, while the screen resolutions it prefers are WVGA (480x800), WXGA (768x1280) and HD720P (720x1280). |
