What Flash Alert is for

Flash Alert is a notification app for Android that uses the phone's camera LED as a visual alert. It is aimed at people who cannot rely on a ringtone or vibration, such as during meetings, in noisy rooms or in dark places. The listing also names visually impaired and hearing-impaired users as a group the alerts help.

The phone's LED blinks when a call, SMS or app notification arrives. The listing says the app is meant for keeping up with important messages without relying on sound or vibration.

Setting up flash alerts for calls and messages

The flash can be triggered by incoming calls, SMS messages and notifications from other apps. Each ringtone mode, sound, vibrate and silent, can have its own flash setting, so the alert can change depending on how the phone is set.

Flash speed can be adjusted, and the listing says the strobe patterns can be customized as well. The app also has a smart mode that holds the flash back while the screen is on, so it does not blink while someone is already using the phone.

Using the flashlight, finding a phone and party lights

Flash Alert includes a flashlight within the app, which the listing describes as its brightest. It can be used to find the way in low-light places.

The blinking light is also meant to locate a phone in dark corners. The listing additionally presents the flash as a DJ-style light for parties.

Battery use and how the flash behaves

The developer states that Flash Alert does not drain the phone's battery. That is a claim from the listing and has not been verified here.

The listing describes the flash as stopping when the screen is on, which is the behaviour behind the smart mode. Anyone who wants the flash to fire on every alert regardless of screen state should check how the settings handle that case.
