Tiny Flashlight + LED 5.2.4

A lightweight and versatile flashlight app that can use either the camera LED or the screen
How many times did you drop your keys and had trouble finding them in the dark? A flashlight would surely have come in handy, but luckily you always carry your smartphone around.

And, with Tiny Flashlight, you can use your device as a virtual torch. The app can generate light using either the camera LED or the screen, helping you to effectively find your way in the dark.

Extremely easy-to-use and useful app

Tiny Flashlight was designed to be as easy to use as possible. After starting the app, all you have to do is tap a button to activate the flashlight. For even more convenience, the flashlight can be started from a home screen widget, which has the advantage that it doesn't open the main app.

And, if you think it cannot get any better, the lights can also be activated via speech or by shaking your phone when the device is locked. There are many settings that can be done to this app.

Firstly, you can have the app display battery levels and temperature, together with a timer. The app also comes with instructions to make it easier to navigate in it and show new uses how to maneuver the app in time of need. The app can also be started using your voice or by shaking your smartphone.

Additional plug-ins available for download

Tiny Flashlight has an extendible architecture to keep the app as small as possible and to reduce the number of permissions required. By default, only the LED and screen lights are built in, with the rest being available for download in the form of plugins from the Google Play Store.

Plugins not only include additional lights like police or strobe lights, but also unlock different functionality such as integration with automation tools like Tasker. Even if your device doesn't have a camera LED, you can still use the screen as a virtual torch.
