Seriously?

Pay money for a LIGHT? No thanks, this app is literally just a different color phone flashlight. I found a better reading light app that is so simple, 5 stars, and 100% free.

It’s great for what it is

Perfect for my needs. I’ve been using it off & on for quite a long while, anytime my regular book light dies or goes missing. It’s great for reading in bed, I just lie my phone so it shines up onto my page. I like it so much & have relied on it so often over an extended period of time that I’m kinda bummed it’s got only 3 stars.
