Of course you do,its on an iphone after all so expenditure is always expected. A lot of android phones come with this basic feature as standard and even if a particular model doesn\'t there are dozens of versions of this led torch app free on the android market

Yes developers prefer IOS so they can make money while customers prefer Android because they can get the same app for free. What do you think is better for us? Having to spend money on a stupid app that we can get for free or putting money in developer's wallets for easy copy cat apps like this? Flashlight apps have been on android since the OG Droid, of course the iPhone didnt even have a flash until recently.

But I mean, I know where you are getting at. "I'm so cool I have an iphone and have sooo much money and I like to throw it around and burn it because I can" cool story bro.

People are willing to pay for apps just to have an iPhone. Over Thanksgiving my girlfriend's brother was showing me his fart app he paid $.99 for.

I don't get it either, but then again I made the switch from iPhone to Android two years ago.

Every time I use someone's iPhone I feel that much better about my choice, nothing bad about it but it's just not for me.

As funny as that is unfortunately those fart apps have been the foundation of the apple app store and amass alot of sales!

I wasn't even trying to be funny ha...

No idea why I got a thumbs down but that's cool, someone is probably mad they had to pay for their flashlight app.

It's okay!! You have an iPhone!!

---\" Over Thanksgiving my girlfriend\'s brother was showing me his fart app he paid $.99 for.\"---

Yes, but think of the quality of that fart. This is the quintessential fart of all farts. Apple\'s branding is associated with this farting app. This means Apple takes the normal fart and makes it better. No doubt Apple\'s team spent countless hours on making sure just the right fart app makes it to the App store. They don\'t want you to just love the fart, they want you to live it. Afterall, you get what you pay for.

Why get a full version of Google maps for free through Android, when for a buck, you can get the best fart app in all the land through Apple? Makes perfect sense to me.

Your girlfriend\'s brother was wise to spend his money where it counts.

iamcc, Two things:

1) Your trolling is extremely frustrating.

2) Listen, what you experience as "Every time I use someone's iPhone I feel that much better about my choice..." is just like every other in this world.

When playing with someone else's device, your mind automatically goes into "let's see what all the fuss is about" mode. You are biased the second you pick it up. I did the same thing with a SGSII being an iPhone 4 owner. I don't hate the SGSII, I just wouldn't want to leave the Apple ecosystem for it.

Seriously, everyone in this thread needs to just appreciate technology and quit the childish comments.

My trolling? What about my comments is trolling?

Also, I used to be an iPhone person. If the iPhone was a better phone (for me) I would have one.

Just because my opinion is different from yours does not make it trolling, my posts are well thought out and I back up my statements.

Why would you buy a phone that needs a bumper to make phone calls?

It's an iPhone.

I agree with the above comment.

Yes ... people pay for this app!

I am jealous that I did not think of it also ;)

It is hard to criticize the guy for developing it and making a buck or two (or much more) along the way.
