SIMPLE LED Flashlight Question (Galaxy S3)

Looking for a flashlight app that doesn't open a screen, just turns on the LED flashlight. I know I can do this with widgets, but I want it on the bottom row (launch dock or whatever it is called).

It seems like an app like this would make sense, you really don't need a screen to pop up, you just want to quickly turn on the light, and since you want it on quickly, it makes the most sense to put it in the bottom row that is always there.

I use it from my home screen and it doesn't open up a screen, it just turns the light on? Tap it again and it turns off.

I can dock it too and it works exactly the same way.

If I open it from the app drawer that is when it opens up a screen..

hmm, I downloaded it again to double check after you mentioned it and I can't get it to work that way - I looked at all the settings too.

Nevermind - I got it! For some reason, the widget from Tesla LED can go in the bottom row...

The first time I opened the widget, it pulled up the screen/page for the app, the second time, it only changed whether the LED was on or off.

Thanks!

PS - the app comes with two widgets, IIRC, it only works with the simpler looking one
