I got this app specifically for the screen glow. It is much easier to use to light up books and my game boy color. It's a very stupid thing to change an entire app completely. Make an additional one for the flashlight and bring back the screen glow. I'm deleting this app until then. ### 1/5 — Changed APP Completely!!! *2016-03-10, version 2.0.0* With the recent update 3/10/16 the app was completely rebuilt to be a flashlight not the app I originally download where it would glow he screen a selected color. The original app was great for needing a light that would glow the area but not be so bright to wake someone or blind them!! Please bring the old version back!!! ### 1/5 — What happened *2016-03-09, version 1.1* The only reason why I got this app is because it's the best glow illumination kind of thing in the AppStore but man you murdered your app with the new design. What was so good about it is that I could have it on my iPhone and shine neon lights on my face to take amazing pics now it's just weird and the blue is not that blue idk please give us back the old version ### 1/5 — Do wat? *2013-09-16, version 1.1* Didn't get it. Should be called Pretty Screen Color. Good waste of 10 minutes. ### 1/5 — No good *2013-06-13, version 1.08* It won't open.FIX ### 1/5 — What *2013-05-20, version 1.08* It won't work! ### 1/5 — Please fix this ap! *2013-05-13, version 1.08* This was one if my most used aps until the last update left it inoperable. It won't open. I would give it 5 stars if it would work like it used to! Please, please fix it!! ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2013-04-28, version 1.08* Newest tweaks make it crash upon opening. Uninstalled, reinstalled, upgraded my phone, nothing worked. FIX THIS! This used to be my favorite nightlight app! ### 1/5 — Won't even open *2013-04-25, version 1.08* I have had this trusty app until the latest update.
