Brightness adjustment need input option
The brightness requires use of the slider that is fine for basic things but to use this and guarantee same brightness on same device that some of us require for making flat frames I would like to see an option to enter exact brightness like 14% this way I can come back and press a preset or renter the 14% instead of guessing on the slider

Pixel density not enough
As other reviewers have said, this won’t work for photographing slides. I tested it with an iPad Pro and the display pixels are visible through the slide, which is understandable and not really the developer’s fault. I’m rating considering this use case.
Not good
Not bright enough and image contained in hundreds of tiny little squares.
Perfect to use for artwork
I love this app, it is the perfect tool for my artwork. I want to trace my sketches on to watercolour paper 250gm/115lb for painting and this Lightbox works perfectly. I can see the sketch clearly.
The grid and lines are very useful for lining up and resizing. Simple ‘no fuss’ and easy to use. Thanks very much.

Viewing slides
The app works as expected and is very useful to look at negatives or slides. It is not useful when you want to copy slides with your DSLR. On the pictures you will see the pixels from the iPad screen. I bought a real lightbox for this purpose.
Better than the basic Light Box
This app is better than a basic light box, because it's portable! The intensity of the light can be adjusted, and there are various grids, and measurements that you can use. Love this!
No need to buy this app
You can get a free whiteboard app that provides the same intensity light/white background.
Simply what I needed
Much like @FrankWimmer above, I just needed to retrace some sketches and just needed a backlit surface, tried using a white desktop or opening procreate and using the paper surface, but I kept accidentally launching apps or resizing the procreate surface, because I couldn't figure out how to lock those so they wouldn't respond to my touch. Thanks for a simple light table, that does what I need, for a reasonable price.
That bad reviewer, down at the bottom, didn't understand the purpose of this app.

It’s as simple as its name “Light Box”
Just when I dropped my actually small light box, I find this.
I still look at slides and negatives and this pretty much does the job.
The person below must’ve never seen a light box before.., or even film…, or a SLR.

Exactly what I needed.
Not sure what the dissenting review here was expecting. This is a simple, functional light box, in the traditional sense of the word. In my case, it's exactly what I need and was hoping for.
I do illustrations for a web comic and needed to retrace and clean up some one of my illustrations before scanning it and taking into Adobe Illustrator. I've got a great LED light box, but didn't bring it with me today. Checked the App Store in hopes that I could turn my iPad pro into a bright white surface for tracing. This app did the job beautifully. In addition, I was very happy to discover that I could turn on grid lines as a helpful reference.
Even though I didn't expect the grid feature, it would be nice to be able to set the grid to any size desired. Hopefully something that may appear in a future update. Meanwhile, this was a real lifesaver today. If you ever need a surrogate LED light box, I highly recommend this.

DOES NOT WORK
This App does not work, and I will be requesting a refund. There is no way to add photos to the lightbox. There is just a blank screen that you can change the grid settings for.
A ripoff.

Needs SAE and metric measurements
Would be useful to add Standard American measurements along with the metric. Also needs a selection for color temp and hue.
Giving five stars in hope the developer will add these features soon

Poor
Does not work. A ripoff...99 cent scam. No light. The crosshair grid is a repeat of the prior multiple line grid. Surprised that such a poor quality non-functioning app is offered for sale in the App Store.
Light box app
I purchased this and think it's a fair price.
However, even with the light on at its brightest, the only thing I can see through is tracing paper. I tried regular copier paper and also drawing paper and light watercolor paper, but none of them show through.

Light box illuminator
Installed and cannot get program to open. Looks like just what I need but can't get it to work.
Needs more functionality..
Does not look like it will be worth .99!
Misleading
You should give a better description for this app. I thought I was getting something that I could load photos from my album to trace. Instead I just paid a dollar for a bunch of ruled lines and grids. What a SCAM.
Just what I needed
Glad someone thought of this. A clever way to use the backlight.
no bright enough
not good enough.
I like my florescent box much better.

Makes your ipad into a light box for tracing with paper
This app is exactly what I needed. I do a lot of drawing and sketching on paper to create designs for my products. After sketching, I do a lot of revisions, sometimes combine designs or parts of designs, so tracing is essential for me to piece together my final product.
I do not own a light box. I found that the light of my ipad screen was perfect for tracing, but there was the problem of the screen being sensitive to touch even with a sheet of paper over it. I needed an app that could give me the light of the screen, but desensitize the screen so I could work without moving things or popping open apps. This app is perfect for this. It gives you a white desensitized screen, except for a small settings button at the top left of the screen, where you can lock rotation, adjust brightness, or add a grid or lines. This simple app does exactly what I need, and is super convenient.
