Let's hope it remains like this ### 2/5 — Just light *2014-03-15* This isn't anything special. It doesn't flicker like candlelight, it's just your screen light staying on with a lit candle to watch. ### 4/5 — fun & simple *2014-01-11* no banner ads, and icons can be hidden!!! snap fingers to light, blow to put out - fab! one glitch, the tilt doesn't work, flame freezes when phone is tilted. ### 5/5 — The best candle!! *2013-03-06* I've looked around and this is by far the best.
