1.0.8: one dial instead of four buttons

The main screen of Flashlight Pure had a readout, a stripe bar and four step buttons. All four did the same thing, only coarser. Now there is one control.

An arc instead of four buttons

Dragging the arc sets the brightness steplessly, tapping the middle switches the light on and off. It reports itself to accessibility as a seek bar, so it is read out too.

The layout follows a plain thought: a flashlight is operated one-handed in the dark. The thumb reaches the lower half, so the controls sit at the bottom and the readout at the top.

What else is in it

• SOS sits right below the dial and stays free
• Every feature is a tile, no scrolling
• Screen light: six colour fields instead of three sliders
• 27 texts had stayed English in twelve languages, including the epilepsy warning on the interval flash. Translated now.
• Fixed: the light would not come on when a saved brightness level was above what the device allows.
