We all have flashlights in our phones for taking pictures in low light and torch purposes. But sometimes you need a little extra work from your flashlight. Like for call alerts, creating disco effects with music and at times even just for playing with the different colors of the light. So, here is the list of some useful and free Torch/Flashlight apps available for Android and iOS.
Best Flashlight Apps

This flashlight app is rated highly on Google Play Store. Apart from working as a torchlight, it can be used as a blinking light. All the modes like – a normal torch, SOS (emergency) mode and blinking frequency can be changed from the home screen itself.
