Ever since the iPhone 4 was released, tons of apps flooded to market, fighting to be the number one flashlight app for users. Some tried to lure users in by being free, having cool features, or being aesthetically pleasing. However, Flashlight by i4software is hands down the best flashlight app available.
Launching the app, the user is greeted with a simple screen that looks like part of a flashlight. A red button in the middle can be slid up or down to turn the flashlight on or off. Of course, the led flash on the back of the iPhone turns on or off instantly based on the location of the switch. Flashlight doesn’t have any gimmicks such as a strobe light or SOS signaler. Instead, it is a simplistic app that serves its purpose.
Flashlight also boasts the fastest time to turn on. The light instantly turns on when the switch is moved to the “On” position. Plus, you don’t even have to worry about the switching the app to the “On” position because launching the app automatically turns the flash on.
Flashlight is a great app that should be on every iPhone. It provides a useful tool at the low price of $0.99. Plus, it does not have any ads cluttering the screen, adding to the aesthetic appeal for those who like clean-looking apps. You will not find the ability to customize your flashlight, change to strobe light mode, or send out Morse code signals with this app, but Flashlight is perfect. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants/needs a flashlight.

*** UPDATE VERSION 4.2 ***
Light comes on even faster now. Switch has been perfected and all multitasking issues have been resolved. ?Preserve battery by reducing number of apps open at the same time. Kill open apps by double-clicking home button to reveal multitasking tray, then tap and hold one icon for 2 seconds until red circles with (-) signs appear, click each to close unneeded open apps. Your phone will then run FASTER and your battery will last LONGER! Any problems with Flashlight ® Version 4.2 are due to too many open apps. Simply kill the app and relaunch. Your iPhone 4 will Thank You. :)

Don't be fooled by those outdated iPhone 3 apps that claim to be flashlights but simply turn your iPhone's screen white. Flashlight ® uses the iPhone 4 Flash and is up to 10 times brighter than the iPhone screen and up to 3 times brighter than many common "D-Battery" Flashlights.
Please Note: Continued use of the flash may dramatically decrease battery life. Please use Flashlight ® responsibly and keep an eye on battery consumption. :)
Click the Flashlight ® app icon to turn your camera's Flash ON almost instantly and keep it on until you turn it off!
