Description

From the listing uploaded by “split-store”.

When you're working at night, the last thing you need is to temporarily lose your night vision by looking at a bright LED torch. By using this red torch, you'll maintain your night vision and be able to see what you're doing. This is a flashlight app that does NOT use the LED. It uses the phone's display to emit different shades of red (from bright red to dark maroon) to black (backlight only) to full white. The phone can lock into each color setting. Perfect for astronomy, photography, and working in the dark. Again: Does NOT use the LED as a flashlight. That's why this app is red and awesome.
