Erica Sadun’s Light, was officially removed from the App Store today. This was confirmed even further by Erica’s tweet, “RIP Light.”

The removal seems to be due to some hacking on Erica’s part. It seems that she hacked a little bit of code that allowed her application control the brightness of the iPhone. So, when you opened Light, it would force your iPhone to go to full brightness instead of the brightness that your iPhone was set at in your stock Settings. Then, when you closed the application, your iPhone would go back to the original brightness you had it set at. Although this is a feature that many of us desperately would like to have, it is against Apple’s rules to affect the brightness of the iPhone.

Doug is starting to do video reviews of App Store applications so, I was trying to find a few applications that I could review that didn’t necessarily need a video. So, I decided to go with a few familiar apps..all of which are free (which is nice!). Most people in the jailbreak community are familiar with the name Erica Sadun…she has developed quite a few applications for the jailbroken iPhone. It seems Light, Moo and To Do have made their way from Installer to the App Store. Below are quick descriptions of each application.

Light:
Light is a simple application that turns your iPhone into a flashlight. Once the application is installed, all you need to do is tap the icon on your SpringBoard and voilà, you have an instant flashlight. This really does work…I used it all the time on my jailbroken iPhone. They only problem with Light is that you cannot adjust the brightness. So, if you are trying to check on a sleeping baby…it can sometimes be too bright! A flashlight application is a must have for any iPhone or iPod Touch! (Doug just used this app to plug in a mic to the back of his computer! Ha!).

Moo:
This is another simple little application. When you open the app, it will play audio of a cow mooing. You can also shake your iPhone and it will play the sounds again. Kids love this one! However, I actually like the Installer version of this application better, it does a few different barnyard animal sounds including; a pig, sheep, horse, duck, donkey, roster and a cow.

To Do:
To Do gives you the ability to create a simple task list. When you first open this application, once you have installed it, you will need to Accept the terms of service. You will then be brought to the main screen. Here you can create a new task by selecting the + icon in the lower right corner. This will add a task titled To Do to the list. To rename the task, tap on it and then select the option in the middle of the lower menu bar (it looks like a pencil and paper). You can then enter what you would like the task to be titled and select Update. You can set the priority of the task by selecting the 123 icon. You will get the options High Priority (which will change the task to red), Normal Priority (which will leave the task black), Completed (which will gray out the task) or Cancel. Another great feature is that you can add notes to a task. To add a note, tap on the blue arrow next to the task. Then just type in your note and select Done. You will see a little snippet of the note just below the task’s title, on the main list. To delete or rearrange your tasks, just select the Edit button in the upper right corner. If you are looking for a simple To Do list…this might be the one for you! The best part is that it is free!

This app opens to a plain white screen. This may seen completely pointless but, it works PERFECT as a flashlight!! Is is just enough light for when you are trying to walk around a dark house before you go to bed or trying to to check on a baby without waking them up (which I have used it for many many times)! So simple, yet so handy. Light is available through the Ste Packaging source. Here are some screenshots:
