   I never disagree with any logically sensible viewpoint, which is that   
   camera apps start to get complicated and then even easy stuff is hard to   
   do.   
      
   But the flash...   
      
   The flash...   
      
   Every camera app has a flash.   
      
   It's shocking to me it's not just on:off for the controls.   
      
   IMHO, it should be off, and then when you tap it, it should be on.   
   If you tap it again, it should go off. And if you tap again, it goes on.   
      
   Shockingly, that's NOT how most flash controls work.   
   Do you know of any camera app whose flash works the way I want it to work?   
      
   This is my main recommendation to the OP.   
   Set up the flash to be single touch binary.   
      
   If it's on, then a tap shuts it off.   
   If it's off, then a tap turns it on.   
      
   What's so hard about that?
