## What is Lantern Light?

Use your own photo's as a night light and set a timer to turn off. Don't waste your battery having your screen on all night. It's the night light of the future !
You can select from the high quality lantern images with bright backgrounds or one of the scenes that’s a little softer. 

When travelling, shed a little light on  that unfamiliar hotel room as you go to sleep. Why use a torch app camping? Try some stylish lanterns on your next trip.

Anyone can flick on their phone to find something in a club or bar.  Be different and use one of our lanterns or one of the scenes and start a conversation.  How about lighting the way from across the room to make sure that person who needs to find you knows where you are.

As a timer to know when to stop reading when you are going to bed or as something different to scare away the boogie man for the kids, you'll love the lantern night light.

### 5/5 — Favorite

*2021-06-14*

This is my favorite reading light, it may not flicker like some reviewers would’ve liked, but for me this is the perfect app for reading. I’ve been using it to read to my little ones for years! 
Sadly, with the latest iOS update, I can no longer use it! :( And the last update seems to have been seven years ago. I’ll miss (and the little ones will be sad too!) using this as my trusty and beloved reading light.

### 5/5 — Works for me but weird annoying stripe of light at at the top

*2020-08-11*

I love this app besides the weird annoying stipe of light at the top and the put your own picture button is my favorite thing because I can put a picture of my favorite kpop idols and anime waifus lol overall good app

### 1/5 — This is stoopid

*2020-08-09*

I highly don’t recommend

### 5/5 — YEEEEESSSSSSS

*2018-08-23*

Definitely the most spectacular lantern app I have ever purchased. One hundred percent worth the 2 dollars for the full version

### 4/5 — Good!

*2018-03-14, version 1.7*

I use it for reading. I often fall asleep while reading, so this is great. You can set your preferred time from 5-60 mins. The lantern brightness depends on your screen brightness. Just wishing that it has a more sleek look.

### 3/5 — Ad box

*2017-07-28, version 1.7*

The pop up ads in the free version make it redundant as a night light. Pushy ads like this don't prompt me to purchase, they just send me to a different app.

### 1/5 — What is this?

*2017-06-30, version 1.7*

This is the worst thing I have ever downloaded. It's ruined my day.

### 5/5 — I actually like it :)

*2015-10-19*

Pretty much makes your phone into nightlight, that turns off eventually by itself on a timer.

So okay, I totally understand the other reviews on here. It's true that this app is just a bunch of pictures of different lanterns...BUT you can choose the one with the colors you like, set its brightness, and set a timer for it. I actually use it every night to help me fall asleep. I'm 25 so I know this is freaking weird, haha, but I enjoy having a slight light in case I decide to have a drink of water, wanna use Chapstick, or other weird random things I realize I want to do while trying to fall asleep. This app works great for me and I'm happy with it. No idea the point of a pro version though - assuming no ads but they don't bother me. :)

### 1/5 — A picture of a lantern

*2015-10-03, version 1.7*

Do You really have THAT LITTLE imagination?

### 5/5 — Love it

*2015-09-13, version 1.6*

Love it, it helps my baby sister sleep without waking up and crying.
