About Flashlight

This app uses your phone's camera's flash LED as a flashlight.

The light turns on when you open the app.
It turns off by either tapping the app or exiting the app by swiping down.

Permission to access the camera is necessary to turn on the flash LED.
I guess now Android lumps that in with the microphone now?
Here's the permissions in my code (manifest):


android:name="android.permission.FLASHLIGHT"
android:permissionGroup="android.permission-group.HARDWARE_CONTROLS"
android:protectionLevel="normal" />

N70%

No flashlight app needs access to the Internet

G70%
by G####:

Simple, only 1 permission request, camera, because it couldn't turn on the flash without that. So many other apps I turned down before install because of gross amounts of invasive permission requests but not this app. Five stars all the way, if you are looking for a free simple light app for your phone this is it!

Would rate 5 stars, except the light doesn't stay on when the screen turns off, so the light dies every 30 seconds...

The pic is somewhat horrible. Make it prettier, then it will get the deserved 5 stars ;)

Just one problem i have with it. Flashlight turns off after the screen times outs. Fix this issue and its a 5 star app!

App works great, just needs one thing to made it perfect. If either the flashlight would stay on when the screen turns off or if the app would keep the screen from shutting off then it would be 5 stars

No spyware, no adware, no bloat. Exactly what it's meant to be. Other app devs take note.

M70%
by M####:

Wanted a no-strings attached flashlight app for my HTC One and this has fit the bill nicely. No special permissions for access to things like internet data, contacts, text messages, etc. Works great and doesn't manage to murder my battery with prolonged usage like the last flashlight app I used. Suffice to say the other app is gone and this one is king.

K70%
by K####:

As the title says, this app is great - small, lightweight, and doesn't require any special permissions to run like the other flashlight apps on the market (that require data control/location services, etc). I would love it if this dev would make more awesome, lightweight apps!

J70%
by J####:

Flashlight app that doesn't ask for extra permissions or anything. Just click to turn it on & off.

K70%
by K####:

Like everyone else here, I was looking for a flashlight app that didn't ask for a ton of fishy permissions. This works.
