## Description

**Flash Alert - Flash App** is a versatile notification tool that blinks your phone's flashlight for incoming calls, SMS, and app notifications including Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and Telegram. It ensures you never miss important alerts, especially in noisy environments or quiet zones like hospitals and meetings. 

Beyond notifications, it functions as a bright flashlight with customizable flicker frequency, a compass, and offers features like a Do Not Disturb mode to silence alerts when needed. Ideal for hearing-impaired users, the app also helps find your phone in the dark and can be used as DJ party lights. Completely free and battery-friendly, Flash Alert enhances your phone's alert system with convenience and safety.
