Tesla for me... Does what I want. Is reliable and doesn't have any strange permissions (like needing access to my contacts or gps location!)

APUS flashlight is a very simple app with little memory.

Why does a flashlight need access to my USB storage combined with full network permissions?

On the basis that it can't need those just to toggle an LED I'd use a different app if I was you.

Tiny Flashlight + LED by Nikolay Ananiev. I use it on my MOTO G even though it has a built in flashlight. I haven't had any problems with it.

Another vote for Tesla LED:

Go for the PRO version (I believe it removes ads,been a long time since I upgraded),it's only $1.00 & gives well-deserved support to an awesome developer.

You might want to try this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.devmain.flashlight

It has additional flashing light and SOS mode option.

Did you look at the permissions for that one? Way more than required for a flashlight.

It's his app:
I wouldn't mind hearing why you'd need
Wi-Fi connection information:

• view Wi-Fi connections
• full network access
• view network connections

Hi,

Yep, you got that right so here is what the permissions are used for:
- camera related is actaully the one really required for flashlight
- all network related permissions are for third-party banner/interstitial ads integration (e.g. Admob, Appbrain)
- audio related are for playing Morse code SOS sound signals
- prevent form sleeping is used when the flashlight is on to prevent it going off if for example device will dim the screen after 2 min

Anyway if you just need a flashlight with no extra features and no ads you should just look for one with "Camera" related permission.

Thanks

Thank you for the explanation regarding the network-related permissions.
I get that this is the method of how you get paid,definitely no problem there,TANSTAAFL......
I just don't get why you didn't own up to your own work when you recommended it.
