Flashlight app on your smart phone? Read this
Comments (7)Well, yes & no. See the Carnegie Mellon study below. The flashlight app in question certainly did/does cop your data, so the guy isn't completely wrong. Whether that data got sold to foreign parties, who knows. Google has strengthen their app screening recently -- because there was a need for it. And mobile malware is on the rise. It all points to being mindful of what you're downloading on your phone, checking to see what permissions the app is asking for. These looked like good tips from Hackread.com Deactivating GPS and turn it on only while traveling or facing an emergency Deactivating Near Field Communications (or iBeacon for iOS devices) forever Deactivating Bluetooth and turn it on only to make hands-free calls while driving When not in use, cover the microphone and/or webcam with tape [if you're really paranoid!] Here is a link that might be useful: Carnegie Mellon study about snooping apps...See MoreAnyone use a Luxmeter phone app? Suggestions?
Comments (2)The app I use is called "Lux - Professional Light Meter for Film Photography" by Avicora. Best part about it? It's free! I don't know much about light levels either, and I have nothing to base it on - so I have no idea how accurate it is. I don't use it too often either, since I typically keep my plants in the garden window (it hasn't gotten chilly here yet, so I haven't set up grow lights and a comfy place for them to stay this winter)....See MoreRecs for an iPad/iPhone Crossword Puzzle App
Comments (8)I have the NYTimes app and find it OK. It was updated not too long ago so your issue might have been resolved. I also have another app called just CROSSWORDS. You used to be able to get the NYTimes crossword on it but sadly the NYTimes revoked permission for that. However, you can use the app to solve some other papers' crosswords, as well as puzzles from some independent puzzle makers, even some cryptic crosswords if that's your thing! My favorite is Newsday... the regular weekday puzzles are all very easy but Saturday is a killer! I have an Android phone but I assume it is also available for iPhone....See MoreCan I use the Houzz app to design with photo from camera roll on phone
