Flashlight Torch LED Light turns an Android smartphone into a flashlight. The app activates the camera flash and keeps it on until deactivated. From there, users can shine the light wherever it's needed. Any smartphone with a decent flash turns into a useful flashlight that can last for hours in some cases. Other features turn the flash into a strobe light, and the app is quite simple to use.
When a user downloads Flashlight Torch LED Light, they're presented with a simple menu. A main button activates the flash light immediately. Below that button, users will find a variety of other features baked into the app, some more useful than others. It's possible to set the app to turn off the flashlight automatically after a designated time. Most people will only use the core flashlight feature and nothing else.
These days, all Android smartphones include a flashlight toggle in the settings menu. That fact makes this particular app a little redundant. Flashlight Torch LED Light is known to consume a lot of battery life on most smartphones, too. Simply put, the native flashlight feature is often more energy efficient. Many Android flashlight apps are known to have malware hidden in there code, and that's definitely a concern here.
In the end, Flashlight Torch LED Light is a useful and useless app in one. Users will find its core feature more than useful. Still, modern phones already include a flashlight toggle, so the app could be considered redundant or useless. The app works well despite heavy battery usage and other concerns. Most users should instead opt for their phone's native flashlight function, though.
