  • Tja, was soll man dazu noch sagen? Vorher musste ich "Tiny Flashlight" verwenden, welches Programm aber enorm viele (unnötige) Rechte für ein Taschenlampen-Programm erfordert. Da konnte man nur mit dem Programm "Permissions" nachhelfen. Ebenso kommt es mir vor, als wenn "TeslaLED" weniger Akkuleistung ziehen würde, als die Konkurrenz. Mag sein, dass sich "Tiny Flashlight" eines Tricks bedient, welcher einfach den Blitz so schnell hintereinander auslöst, dass es als kontinuierliches Licht wahrgenommen wird. Das würde dann auch den hohen Strombedarf erklären. Ich benutze "TeslaLED" in Kombination mit "WidgetLocker" auf meinem SGS2 (root). Unter uns: Diese "Ehe" ist wohl eine, die ewig halten wird. Perfekter geht es nicht. Vielen Dank nochmals an "TeslaCoil Software" für beide Programme. Wohl verdiente 2,25€ im Moment.
  • Endlich! Es gibt sie doch noch: die wenigen Apps, die einfach nur das tun, was sie sollen. Und das ganz ohne unnötige Schnüffelei. Diese Taschenlampe macht, was man von ihr erwartet und bietet zudem noch einige nützliche Zusatzfunktionen. Dabei nimmt sie sich nur die Rechte, die dafür auch wirklich nötig sind. Dafür gibts natürlich verdiente 5 Sterne. Einziger Anlass zum Meckern wäre vielleicht die merkliche Reaktionszeit von gut einer Sekunde beim Einschalten. Aber das ist Klagen auf hohem Niveau... ;-)
  • Finally a flashlight app which asks for only the permissions it needs to allow it to perform its function. I mean why would a flashlight need internet access? Or full access to everything ?! This app is what I wanted with a few other useful features.
  • Anscheinend die einzige Taschenlampen-App für Android, die nicht mein Telefonbuch lesen und ins Internet will. Funktioniert prima, lustiger Schnickschnack dabei - und ein Widget zum Ein-/Ausschalten direkt auf dem Homescreen. Sehr praktisch!
  • Gutes Design, gute Funktion und braucht wenig Speicherplatz. Die in den Comments weiter unten an gesprochene Verzögerung scheinr eher gewollt zu sein, da sie mit der Animation der Glühbirne einher geht. Alles in allem: Toll!
  • Has worked flawlessly on both droid 2 global and my droid X. Used the 1x 1 widget abs put it in the system dock, has never failed. One and only flashlight app for me. Thanks, guys.
  • It it simple, does what it needs to do and doesn't want internet access like the other flashlight apps. What info are those other apps trying to send anyway?
  • It does everything I want it to and nothing I don't (aside from maybe the "police light"). It requests few permissions; also a BIG plus. Don't change a thing.
  • Unlike other free flashlight apps, this one does not read private information on your device. A big thank you to the developer! Actually worth paying for!
  • Has lots of cool options: strobe, Morse code, screen light, but my fave is the widget that allows me to turn my phone into a flashlight. 5 stars
