Black screen.

I also get only a black screen. Doesn’t seem to link to camera.

Nothing but a black screen

Doesn’t work on my iPhone XS. Tapping the screen causes the light to turn off and on but the screen is completely black. Looks like I just threw $1 down the drain. Don’t waste your money.

Simple and excellent & better than ever on an iPhone 6 Plus

With the very fast focus on the new iPhone 6 and the optical image stabilization of the 6 Plus, this product is vastly more convenient. It was always great, now it's fast and perfect.

Does exactly what it says. Does it simply and very well. It makes a huge difference to have the flash helping out, (staying on as long as u want) for those times you're in a dark restaurant reading a menu with small print

This app and the iPhone 6 are like carrying around a very large magnifying glass AND a flashlight

This app is a real life saver

Why cellular data?

Complete bogus fraud.
Why is this app trying to access the Internet? What personal information is it capturing or stealing?

Exceptional!

Didn't believe it until I used my own eyes. Props to the developer for designing a clever and useful app!
