Tired of flashlight apps stealing your info? Install this app and be done with it! Absolutely no personally identifiable information or browsing habits are collected by this app. IT's a flashlight and compass; it doesn't need those things! Here is a complete breakdown of the permissions used by this app.
CAMERA:
In order to access the LED flash on your device, the app has to be able to access the camera.
FLASHLIGHT:
Probably self-evident, but in order to access the LED flash, we have to access the flashlight.
INTERNET:
What? Don't worry; I was telling the truth about not collecting personal information. In the event your app should crash for whatever reason, this app sends a crash report via Fabric Crashlytics to help identify what went wrong so it can be fixed in a future release.
INFORMATION GATHERED AND SENT WITH THE CRASHLYTICS REPORT:
The only things that are sent should your phone crash are the following:
- Make of your device (Ex: Samsung, LG, HTC, etc...)
- Model number (helps identify problems with similar devices)
- Android OS Version number
- The specific error that caused the crash
- THAT'S IT! Nothing about you, your habits, your purchases or which weird sites you like to visit when no one is around.
It is compatible with all versions of Android 3.1 and above.

Works great on my Galaxy s6! Samsung does not have a flashlight application that comes on the s6 model. (Something I miss from prior android phones that I have owned). This is a great app to add on to my already great phone. Love that I can keep the light on even when I am out of the app and that it does not time out. I also like that I can change the colors of the compass.
