Torch has the fastes respond in comparisson to other apps of this type. It lights up the same moment you press it + it's the best lookin' widget, for me. And i like that it's simple, just turns on the flash... I mean, if you expected a real torch coming out of your phone, stroboscope... Only bug,and worst one is when you use it as a widget with GO LOCKER it turns off 10 seconds after the screen turns off, and sometimes i have to restart phone cause flash can't be turned off, and camera reports APP FAIL.
