Using scientifically based equations, this application will simulate with impressive accuracy the light given off from a romantic candle while at the same time playing any music you select from your library! It's great for: romantic dinners, relaxation, mood setting, and similar situations where you may have forgotten your candle and stereo system! What makes this application unique is that it actually simulates candle light, so there is no image of a candle, and you shouldn't look at the actual screen of the device. Besides, it's not the candle itself, but the light it creates that matters! Place it in a dim area where the light can bounce off walls, or even under a lamp shade! ## Key features - Realistic candle light simulation - Plays music from your library - Mood setting for romantic dinners - Relaxation and ambiance - Scientifically based equations ## Recent user reviews (10 of 17) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/romancer/id321178302/reviews.md ### 1/5 — 啊米诺斯 *2025-01-13* 啊米诺斯 ### 5/5 — Brilliant & Under-appreciated *2023-08-27* A very simple, but very clever app. I love ideas like this! The App Store doesn’t give this app enough love: a search for ‘romancer’ in the App Store pulled up all kinds of other apps but not this one. Only way I could find it was by clicking other apps the Tides app developer made. Great stuff and deserves more App Store love :) ### 5/5 — For when life is missing that romantic feeling *2021-12-14* My wife and I got into a huge fight. But I wanted to carry on with my romantic plans. Enter the Romancer. I simply matched the orange to the color of a match flame and I was good to go. Turned on some slow jazz. And cried myself to sleep. 5/5 stars ### 5/5 — Yoooooooooo *2017-01-24* They listened to my pleas, not only fixed, but way better than before, i love this app!!! Pls pls pls pls fix this!!!!!! It was so awesome now just a black screen pls plspls pls pls fix it pleeeeeeeeaaaassseeee 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 (Original review) This app is awesome, I use it with naturespace so i can have crickets too! Easy to use, an no setup, was exactly wat i was lookin . Ill write an even better one if you fix it pleeeeeeeeaaassseee **Developer response:** The latest version allows customized screen colors and should not ever display a black background anymore. If it still occurs, removing and re-installing the app will reset the color to default. ### 1/5 — Worked well but now doesn't work. *2017-01-13* Current version doesn't work. Just give you a black screen. **Developer response:** The latest version allows customized screen colors and should not ever display a black background anymore. If it still occurs, removing and re-installing the app will reset the color to default. Please let us know if it continues to happen with version 2.1 ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2016-09-13* Complete waste of money! **Developer response:** We would love to know specifically what you do not like. ### 5/5 — Hotness *2015-10-17* This app gets the party started. Simulates real candles without the messy wax and smoke. The only smoke you'll experience will be from your smoked sausage if you know what I mean, ha ha. Oh yeah, fire it up and get to playing. Fantastic! ### 1/5 — 垃圾 *2014-12-25* 烂 ### 1/5 — ちょっと *2013-05-14* ゆらぎ方がキャンドルっぽくない。ゆらぐ速度を調節出来たら、いいと思う。 ### 1/5 — Das einzig gute an der App ist die Idee dahinter... *2011-11-21* ... also als Gratis-App gäb es 3 Sterne. Man bekommt genau das Bild im Screenshot, es flackert ein bisschen, aber eher künstlich. Das wars. Es sieht nicht romantisch aus. Die Musik muss man selbst einfügen, d.h. hat man nix romantisches auf dem Gerät, sowieso meganutzlos. Alles in allem liebloser unausgereifter Schrott, der keine 79 Cent wert ist. Romantisches Lied ohne diese App angemacht hat die selbe Wirkung. ## Frequently asked questions about Romancer ### What is Romancer used for?
