DH just got an e mail saying NOT to download any flashlight apps on your phone or tablet. They are almost all malware. If you have pone get it off ASAP. They even recpommended completely wiping your computer clean, of course after saving all your necessary stuff to the cloud or somewhere. It's always something.

Do you have an iphone? If you do, they have one built into the phone. I use it all of the time.

Hmm...I either have the apt or it came with the phone. I can not recall.

I have the LG optima and I had not installed one on there but I did on my chromebook. I just removed it and then put all my sensitive info onto a USB flash drive and completely erased my computer then re installed everything from the flash drive. PITA for sure.

I usually carry an ink pen size flash light IF I'm going to a play or concert or other performance where I have to enter or exit in the dark. Although a phone works too.

I have put a flashlight app on every cellphone I've owned. No problems, no malware. Indispensable!!!

Please check things out before sharing. If it is not worth the time to investigate, it is now worth the time to share.
