i deleted the app because the word is, there is a lot of spyware in it Got nothing to do with the light. The light is the cheese in the mousetrap.
beware of stuff they give out for free. check out all the things the app needs, all the permissions you are granting. delete it.
This is definitely an issue with all apps. You have to dig to find one with sensible permissions. For example, the flashlight app I use only had 1 permission: camera control, which is what the OS lumps the LED into.
@Poppy: Yeah, power banks are pretty good gifts. Some even have a little angry blue LED.
I can't say as phones really invalidated having a small light. A lot of uses I have daily it would be inconvenient to use the phone for, and other uses the phone isn't enough, such as changing a tire or looking up in a tree.
And this may just be my flashaholism talking, but it's more fun to examine the tint and beam pattern of a real flashlight.
