Excellent tool for astrophotography

This simple and effective app turns an iPad into an easy to control light source for producing great calibration flats. I use it with an opaque white plastic high density sheet between the objective and iPad and make consistent flats.

Response from developer

Thank you very much, I’m happy you found a use for my app. I never knew it could be used this way 🙂

Big waste of time

It doesn’t work.

Response from developer

Howdy, I'd be happy to hear whats wrong. The purpose of the app is to light up your iPad so you can take photos with an external camera.
