Components
Simple flashlight is an open source application that is been used by most people due to it brightness and other great features. It's really a source of worry as simple flashlight can't be operated on screenlock in case of an emergency and it does not have sleep timer feature where a particular time frame could be set for the application to automatically turnoff when it's not in use.
Proposal
I suggest that the simple flashlight developers should add a feature whereby the flashlight can be operated on screenlock in case of an emergency or while doing something in the dark, it would be easier to operate the flashlight on the screenlock instead of searching for the application on the device.
If the flashlight is on, it user can only push the device power on/off button then the flashlight appears on the screenlock for easy operation.
Sleep timer is also an important feature I suggest it should be implemented on simple flashlight because it helps turnoff the application automatically when it reaches the particular time limit which was set by it user. It user may sleep off while the flashlight is on and it drains battery but with the availability of this feature, it user can set a time limit for it to turnoff from the turnoff time options which might be from 1mins, 5mins 10mins 30mins etc.
Mockups / Examples

The image below shows how the sleep timer turnoff options should be arranged
Benefits
It users will benefit a lot, as the application would be easily operated on the screenlock and the sleep timer will reduce the way which users complaints about simple flashlight draining their phone battery.
