Permissions - Lightning Bug currently requires the following permissions on your Android device.
Your Location – course (network-based) location
Only used if you enable Lightning Bug’s local weather feature which is disabled by default. If you enable the local weather feature, only your latitude and longitude are sent to a trusted weather reporting service.
Network Communications – full Internet access
Required for downloading extra content including sound, image, and program files from 1908 Media servers. If you have Lightning Bug’s local weather feature enabled, Internet access is also required for contacting a 3rd party weather reporting service.
Storage – modify/delete SD card contents
Required for storing and managing extra content including sound, image, and program files.
Phone Calls – read phone state and identity
Required so that scene and alarm audio can be ducked (partially to fully muted) during phone calls.
System Tools – disable keylock, prevent phone from sleeping
Keylock control is required by Lightning Bug’s alarm system. Screen and sleep controls are required to keep the Lightning Bug digital clock and\or scene player visible (this is the default behavior, however you can override using Lightning Bug’s Screen Timeout feature)
System Tools – send sticky broadcast
Lightning Bug uses ‘Sticky Intents’ as a part of its alarm system. The app broadcasts a single sticky intent whenever the alarm clock goes off. This is a standard permission among most android applications providing alarm clock features.
System Tools – automatically start at boot
Lightning Bug very briefly runs at boot to synchronize it’s alarm system with the system clock. This process is required to ensure alarms go off at the correct time and is designed to have minimal impact on your device’s startup time. This is a standard permission among most android applications providing alarm clock features.
Permissions
- approximate location (network-based)
- full network access
- read phone status and identity
- modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
- disable your screen lock
- prevent device from sleeping

Comments
- I've used this app for months, but after installing Jelly Bean on my Infuse, I had the dreaded crash when it first booted. I had to go back to a white noise app that I purchased before. That app only plays one sound at a time. Not anymore, you fixed it. I'd give 10 stars if I could. What's so great about Lightning Bug is that even though it's free, I can configure it to play multiple sounds, thus customizing it to my needs. I have purchased a couple of plug-ins and now I'm sleeping like a baby again. Thank You
- I love this app. The audio is of decent quality. There are a lot of features to play with as well as endless possibilities for different combinations. I use this (as well as my wife. She installed it on her phone too) to fall asleep to at night and in the car for a change of pace. I have all the plug ins and can't wait to support the dev when more come out.
- I used to have a lot of issues sleeping, But I have to say, this application really produces some beautiful background noise while you try to fall asleep. With a pleasant amount over customization and a built-in alarm clock, this really is one of the best sleep apparently out there. I recommend this to anybody who wants to improve their sleep.
- Heavenly to send you to sleep in the most relaxing gentle way. Wonderful to relax with and while reading good book. A touch of your phone and stresses simply melt away. Thank you so much for this app. Mmwah! :-)
- I am so thrilled this app is working again-nothing else even comes close to this one to get me to sleep! I can get a good night sleep again and wake up feeling rested! I love this app! :-D
- I love this app & use it every day. I'd like to see the addition of sound files for Harley motorcycles & Nascar racing. Believe it or not I find them calming.
- I just got this and LOVE it! It's great that I can set a timer to turn off & close app. The sounds are most realistic and lots of variety too!
- I searched for hours to find a sleep sound app like this. So much better than the rest. Makes a world of difference in he quality of my sleep.
- I went through several apps before finding this one. It's highly customizable, has tons of sounds to choose from.. And well makes me happy.
- It's a nice little free app. Use it for sleeping, relaxing and meditation. Havnt used the plug one yet, but I'm happy with the basics (:
