## What is Glow Lamp?

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a glowing, pulsating mood lamp, perfect to warm up the darkness with a soft relaxing light! 

Place a bottle of water on one of Glow Lamp's bright circles to pull the light of your device up into the bottle. Circles shift between colors at varying speeds and you can add a smaller orbiting circle that zooms around the outside of the larger circle to add accents and fun. 

The effects are controlled by you - experiment with colors and speeds to discover the moods you can create! It's a lava lamp for the 21st century!

For best results use in a darker space and place your Glow Lamp near a wall. The photo has not been retouched in any way!

### 5/5 — Yourgirljennie

*2023-09-04, version 3.0*

I love this app! I have the fear of darkness and this helped me overcome the darkness. I recommend if you don’t like darkness or can’t sleep at night ^_^

### 5/5 — Simple, fun and purposeful!

*2022-05-06, version 2.2*

This app is so simple and so much fun! Just requires a phone and a water bottle, two things I usually have in arms length. I shared it with my niece who needs a light on to sleep and she is hooked! Not only does she get the light she needs but it is soothing too. My son comes home from college tomorrow and I know he is going to love it. I give 5 stars for turning this simple idea into something so cool. Why didn’t I think of that?

### 4/5 — I like this app more than I think I should

*2022-04-12, version 2.2*

It’s so simple, but it works. Granted, you only get the best effect when you have a 13 pro max at max brightness, otherwise it won’t look as bright. But when you do have that it looks great.

### 1/5 — Ad bar ruins the app

*2022-01-31, version 2.2*

The add bar is so bright that it ruins the rest of the light. Even with a water bottle

### 5/5 — It’s really cool

*2022-01-04*

The only problem is that not that many people have this app. But otherwise it’s really cool !!!

### 5/5 — Génial

*2021-11-28, version 2.2*

Aucun intérêt mais indispensable !!

### 1/5 — Muito Ruim

*2021-10-31, version 2.2*

Pouco funcional, não dá opção de mudança de cores na versão gratuita.

### 5/5 — So good!!

*2020-12-12, version 2.2*

I really, REALLY recommend this app. You can move the dot and make the size even bigger. It’s my night-light🥺. I’m always gonna use this app. And thank you a lot for making this app.😁

### 5/5 — The Best Of The Best

*2020-04-25, version 2.1.1*

So I just deleted Night Light-Relaxing Lamp (it’s horrible so go to the app and read the reviews) and so I thought this would be the same thing except I had my phone and a water bottle with me and so I (of course) tried it out and I though “Wow this is like this best not real nightlight I have seen.” And I’m scared of the dark so this is a really good app with people who are scared of the dark. If there were above five stars I would do that one 😁.

### 1/5 — Only a dot

*2020-02-18, version 2.1.1*

Not sure how to get the water bottle on here. It’s just two dots
