The idea of a candle Is fantastic. If the candle came in more colours it could be used for other occasions. Please figure out a way to opt out of ads on startup. ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2020-08-15, version 5* It’s a good looking candle, but the ads are excessive. They load every 10-15 seconds. So when you open the app, turn off your WiFi ### 1/5 — Evil Spam Mail *2019-08-07, version 5* Suspicious behavior. As soon as I downloaded this app I received a phishing email with a false receipt for a non-existent game purchase. Buyers beware! ### 4/5 — Good sex candle *2019-05-16, version 5* (: ### 3/5 — Good but bad *2018-12-18, version 5* Candle is beautiful but it takes so long to load, up to 5 minutes ### 1/5 — 5 sec long adds at each load is a deal breaker *2018-11-06, version 5* Even if the screen goes off or i switch apps, 5 seconds of adds, most are noisy. Really far from what I'm looking for in a candle app. Would pay for no adds and give it 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Boo 😒 *2018-07-08, version 5* No fun. ### 1/5 — Just a vehicle for intrusive advertising *2016-07-20, version 5* Not a bad candle effect, shame it is not tilt responsive, but still better than most... However, whenever you launch it you will be assaulted with aggressive pop-up ads blasting out of your iPhone - which cannot be silenced for 5 seconds. Worst of all, it does this even when your volume is on mute. This is obviously disastrous for those quiet moments when you might want a candle... It is also likely to have you hastily ejected from any public place! Totally unusable. ### 2/5 — Beautiful candle - Hate the ads *2016-02-06, version 5* I was using this as a meditation candle but the latest version suddenly added annoying ads. I like that the candle is real. I wish it had a longer sequence before it repeated -- say 5-10 minutes -- so I wasn't aware of the repetition. That change plus no ads would be worth paying for. ### 1/5 — very *2016-02-01, version 5* very bad ### 1/5 — Nope *2016-01-30, version 5* I downloaded this so I could have candle light during a bath. It worked immediately after it was downloaded. But once I started my sound machine app the candle app would not load. I have no use for it. Deleting. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Full of ads and slow *2026-04-16, version 5* Takes ages to load, and is full of ads. ### 1/5 — BEWARE *2026-02-19, version 5* As soon as I downloaded this app it appeared to open my settings and tell me I had 42 viruses and did I want them eliminated. I closed the app immediately, but when I opened it again exactly the same thing happened. I deleted the app right away. ### 1/5 — Junk app that just has ads *2025-12-24, version 5* Unusable after the initial use ### 1/5 — Annoying from the outset *2021-02-17, version 5* Opens with an advert which cannot be immediately closed. App deleted ### 1/5 — Hardening pill add *2021-01-25, version 5* I can’t believe the add for a hardening pill continuously during the burning of the candle and I am not even a man i will be removing ### 1/5 — Very ghetto *2020-12-28, version 5* Me & my bf we don’t Approve messed up our bath session 🤮 ### 1/5 — Worthless *2020-11-25, version 5* Was looking for a candle for mediation away from home. This is literally just a 10 second loop GIF and that’s it. No character to the flame, easily recognizable. Just another app trying to unload tons of ads off on people with little use in and of itself. ### 1/5 — Candle HD *2020-11-12, version 5* Horribly annoying ads ruin this app. Already deleted it after opening it only twice ### 1/5 — I agree too many ads *2020-09-02, version 5* I deleted it I get enough online ads as it is. ### 1/5 — Awful constant adverts *2020-07-14, version 5* Awful constant adverts with no way to stop them ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — literally a real candle *2020-11-04, version 5* Iris is the most realistic handle whenever you blow it I love you I love you too when you blow into the charger a hole it blows at the camera I mean the candle automatically it’s so realistic Final words I really love that you can read by the candlelight and I’ve been doing it every night ever since I’ve gone to the loo get a old did he wire go to the water closet is it the water closet ### 5/5 — Love it! *2020-10-21, version 5* So realistic! Can be a replacement to the real thing during prayers or ritual when candles are not accessible or not allowed. ### 5/5 — Love it❤️ *2019-01-01, version 5* Ok so I downloaded it and I saw some of the reviews some were good some were bad but I’m like maybe it’s not bad. So I saw one of the reviews it’s said “turn if your WiFi and there will be no add.” AND IT WORKED! It’s kinda boring once you just sit there staring at it but you can use it for baths...that’s what I did. It’s so calm and so tiring too😂 I recommend it to a big 5 ⭐️ ### 5/5 — Lit *2017-11-20, version 5* It’s litty ### 5/5 — Perfect Candle for IPad *2016-10-11, version 5* Realistic candle. Works well on iPad, even when rotating screen. Not inhibited by ads during candle display. Blows out with finger swipe. Music interaction with iTunes would be great addition for complete romantic package. ### 5/5 — Lovely Candle *2016-08-24, version 5* Almost like the real thing, plain and simple Candle as if you were holding it but not feeling the heat. No blowing flame just tap to light & tap to extinguish, simply a basic flame for your uses!!! ### 5/5 — Simple yet great! *2015-12-22, version 4.1* This app is really simple, but the screen is filled only with candle (which other apps have annoying icons everywhere), and has a neat extinguish feature. It fades nicely, then you just tap to relight! Easy peasy, with no extra fluff or junk! ### 5/5 — Perfect Candle *2015-12-12, version 4.1* I use this candle for meditation and it's perfect! Simple and easy. ### 5/5 — Awesome Sleek Cozy app *2015-10-13, version 4.1* This app makes me feel really relaxed and cool. The HD candle and flame totally calms me down whenever I'm mad. This is a great awesome app but I just have one request and that is can you make it without any adds? The adds are really annoying and sometimes screw up the app. But that's not a big deal really. This app is awesome everyone should get this ☺️👌🏻✌🏻️👍🏻🎃 ### 5/5 — Best App Ever!!!! 😻😻😻 *2015-08-15, version 4.1* I love this app and it's the best app in the world!!!! 💗💗💗💗💜💜💜💜💛💛💛💛💚💚💚💚💙💙💙💙💓💓💓💓💞💞💞💞💕💕💕💕💌💌💌💌💖💖💖💖💘💘💘💘💝💝💝💝💟💟💟💟 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
