Good, but shame you can see the clock
It’s a really great idea, not the obvious side of a candle that doesn’t really work. We used this on holiday a few years ago because it was very dark sitting outside, and there were no candles, so this app was perfect for adding a bit of ambience. Sadly when I went to use it again a year later, I was disappointed the phone’s clock and home buttons were visible along with some settings icons, which ruined the effect and made it look like an iPhone with a random circle, and not the top of a candle in a pot. If you could add an option to hide the interface elements, this app would be perfect and 5-star!

Closest Thing to Candle Light
Use it to read Walt Whitman’s “Song of the Open Road” while dozing in your backpacking tent under the moon shadows of Jeffrey Pines. I’m surprised this is the only candle app that simulates the glow, flicker, and movement of the flame of a candle.
If I could make feature requests I’d ask for a version where you can make the background light up too and follow the flicker pattern of the circle, that way it could be a little brighter while still maintaining the movement of the flame. Maybe make it so the volume buttons up and down affect the overall brightness.
I appreciate the simplicity of the app, its simple name and icon, lack of complex features, simple graphical appearance. Candles are simple. The app is simple.

Use this all the time.
Works great!
Incredible that this exists!
I was looking for something like this in the App Store and had no idea that it actually would exist, and it’s so well done to very beautiful simple and clean and most importantly, with a very realistic candle flicker effect. Facing your phone on a high shelf in a darkish room is best cause (obviously) seeing the screen ruins the effect.
