Only you can decide if having a flashlight always handy is worth less than the price of a cup of coffee. Yes it uses the camera LED's, with the added advantage of being able to turn those LED's on before you go into the camera app so you can use them for video recording. :icon_ banana:

If you don't mind educating yours-truly, why? What's the difference between an app and widget? What's the net gain?
Thanks in advance!

Basically, having access to your home screen w/o having to leave it.
It would just be nice to have the led icon for the app to be a toggle on/off, without having to go to it's own huge blank screen with just a on/off button in the middle.

Someone asked earlier if any potential damage could be done to the camera side of things. I'd say I doubt it..as long as you don't abuse it. The key would be moderation but I have not actually used the app.
Whoever has used this... enlighten us.

I just bought and tested it. It works! You can return to the home screen while it is on by pressing home - if you use the back arrow it will shut off. Also....the camera flash is much much brighter than the Led Light app makes it. Too bad, I was hoping for the full potential of those dual-LED's but at least they made one that works!!
To answer the camera question...I tried it with the camera - both video and stills. No issues with video and I think it will do for now (again wish it was brighter). If you use the still camera with it, the camera will take over the flash and works as expected. You will need to re-activate the Led Light app afterwards. The same is true for taking video.
