Simple torch

About this app

Simple torch application for android phone. The torch application is as simple as possible, without any advertisement. You can use phone flashlight LED or screen to shine in the dark.

Start of the torch application is quicker than other torch application available on android market as it doesn't contain anything else except function to light the flashligh LED or screen.

Torch application doesn't require any special rights except camera to switch camera flashlight.

Try it, it's FREE and has only 32kB.

Tested on Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Note 3, Nexus and Samsung Galaxy Ace and other mobile phones.

Simple torch application DOESN'T collect any personal information. Unfortunately it requires camera right as it is not possible to control camera light without it and there is no possible to ask only for right for camera light.

Ratings and reviews

I needed something like this because my phone doesn't support a lock screen gesture to switch my torch on. Now I can use a gesture to call up this simple app which doesn't show ads and didn't my data either. 👍 When you launch the app it starts off the torch automatically as a standard but there are customisation options as well. It's a bit glitchy in that the torch sometimes can't be switched off with the button and the app needs to be closed for it to happen but to me that's very bearable.

I have used it for 5 years. It stays ON when you do other things on phone. Ideal for when walking in the dark but still wanting to use the phone. It only switches OFF when you do it manually It does not ask for permission to know who you are or where you are. Perfect.

If you're looking for a very basic torch app, no nonsense or unnecessary settings, this is it. Does exactly what it's supposed to, and it's so small! Perfect for my old S2 which has very little space and no built-in torch app. ♥♡
