The app said shake and I really thought when you shook your phone it would turn light on . it did not . really disappointing . I wish I get my $.99 back .my friend has a app that you can do that. but he has Samsung android app

Not what I expected

I expected that I would be able to shake to turn on light, this appears to be deceiving as title says shake but this did not work

Not working

Had a Moto g7 with the shake light feature, which was awesome. Hoped this app would replicate that on an iPhone but alas, I shook so much my wrist hurt but the light only came on once. Sadness.
