Installed the app. Set one long press to turn on the flashlight. Failed to work. Uninstalled. Also, assuming this app would work for me, why am I only given the option to assign the three looking presses? Where are the options to configure the nine short clicks? I would much sooner need to configure the short clicks than the long ones.

I love this app except for one thing, when I have this app running my battery drains about 3 times faster than when it is not running. I have forced this app to stop and my battery life goes back to where it was. I used Airplane mode and this app still consumed most of my battery. other than that this app is very cool with the button, but I m thinking about using NFC until this is fixed.

I used this app with no issues to easily toggle the flashlight on my phone. Since the last update it no longer works. Was a nice app, now it's just a space waster.
