When you export the photo they no longer flash. I’ve tried everything, saving it to my photos, saving it to Facebook as well as Messenger, no flashing of lights. Good idea but it needs work, please fix it or disclose this BEFORE people but it. I’ll never use it like this, wasted .99. Don’t buy it until they fix it, it’s useless. **Developer response:** The new update (v 2.1) now exports the images as animated gifs. Enjoy :) ### 2/5 — Not realistic *2014-12-24* Can't resize the lights or decorations, not realistic. Wish I hadn't spent the money. ### 5/5 — Cool *2014-11-27* Looking for a simple way to add Christmas lights to a pic, perfect! ### 5/5 — Draw Lights *2013-10-11* Really a lovely app with lots of lovely lights , snowflakes and the like to choose from !! As well the flashing aspect and the ability to change the tint is wonderful . The only thing I would love to have been able to do is when I e-mail the photo to someone is to have it flashing when they receive it as I have other apps that can do this . I would recommend this app though as it is really nice and well thought out. ### 5/5 — A fun way to "decorate" for the holidays! *2012-12-05* With this app, it was surprisingly easy to deck the halls (or photos) with cool, festive lights. I was able to send out suitably decorated photos of our house (and kid!) to appreciative grandparents, and we all feel just a smidge closer to Christmas as a result. There are a lot of good-looking options, but not so many that it made it tough to decide. My only "complaint" is minor. I love the optional "flashing" effect on some of the lights so much, it'd be nice if exported pictures could have that effect. (Maybe a future version will add an "export to animated GIF" option that retains the cool blinking effect? I hear animated GIFs are popular among all the Tumblr kids nowadays.) Otherwise, it's certainly a LOT more fun to decorate with virtual lights than to pull out the ladder and extension cords! ### 5/5 — So much fun!! *2012-11-30* My kids are loving this app!! So worth the download!! Makes the holiday more festive!! Thanks do much!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2011-12-23* It is so fun I use it to help decorate my house ### 5/5 — This App is Awesome! *2011-12-11* This app is fun, easy to use and has a lot of different options. I love all the different light options that are available as well as the cropping and tinting aspects. I see a lot of potential growth with this app, too, such as the ability to add the string between the lights (and toggle it on/off if the user has placed lights in such a way as to look weird), as well as the ability to make the different light types bigger. I'd love to be able to have GIANT candles! Good job! Definitely an app I'm going to get a lot of fun out of this holiday season!! ## Frequently asked questions about Draw Lights ### What kind of lights can I add with Draw Lights?
