Torch does mean the flashlight. I don't know how many countries use Torch, but I know it is common amongst British territories. Later, Richard

Is that something to do with the light?

My wife, the quilter, pulled out a bunch of fabric and she was impressed with how accurate it is as well as extremely fast. A couple hints. Hold the camera steady until you hear the same color two or three times in a row. I have it on my iPod Touch 6th and I have the torch on low. Since it is very fast and constant, a two finger double tap will pause it and give you the current color name and color concentration. Then, you can double tap on the menu button in the upper right and adjust the zoom level, the color detection area and the torch level. If you have hints on, or maybe even if you don't, wait a little while after flicking to one of the settings and it will tell you what the next setting is for that item, which you double tap to activate of course. So, it might say "normal zoom" then the hint is "switch to 2x zoom, etc. I have not been bothered by any ads, so just going with the free app seems to work perfectly fine. If you double tap on support/app info, and then on remove ads, you find out that the price is up to you. It has several prices that you can choose from if you want to support the developer. It was updated last June when VoiceOver support was added. I'm very impressed.

I have an app called Light detector that is either free or around $1 U.S. This will let you know if lights are on and it can give you a percentage of light by touching the screen. It will also raise or lower the tone according to how bright the light is and it can be used to find flashing lights or even LEDS if you are familiar with your phone enough to not block the camera while finding and positioning the phone in relation to the LED. The best color I.D. app I've tried is called Color Inspector. There's a free and a paid version with no ads. This app lets you adjust the brightness of the flashlight as well as zoom in on the area you're wanting to know the color of. As far as names, this app will use regular names for colors as far as red, blue, green, etc., but it can be more detailed, using turquoise or sea green for the color Jade, for example. Some of this depends on how bright the flashlight is and how close the phone is to the article being described Out of the several color ID apps I've tried, Color Inspector is the easiest and provides detailed colors without being too complex.
