Description

From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.

Lantern is a minimalist application: only a white screen with maximum brightness and a slider button to turn on the flash. Simple as that. No more annoying options. If you want a little light without dazzle with only your screen on, this is your application. Start it and you have light. But if you still need more light turn on the camera flash.

Lantern APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Lantern APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is b1c023c3c011fd9ee6cef8585a6ce352.
