Brightness

The flash is not bright enough to be useful.

Broken

This app no longer works.

Ok

Don’t get how you are suppose to use it

Cannot hold a steady strobe light; constantly cuts out.

Very disappointed in this flawed app. The strobe light, although accurate in speed, cannot hold its light and blacks out every 2 seconds. Useless.

Awesome teaching tool!

The metrics (frequency and RPM) bring awesome demonstration to ceiling fans, house fans, guitar strings, water streams! Visual perception is so interesting as inspired by frame rates.

Erratic

On my iPhone 14 the strobe light is very erratic.

Works, but dimly

Does the job, but doesn’t set the flash to full brightness.

Perfect Strobe for Zoetropes

Outstanding app. Very accurate strobe for timing the frame rates for zoetropes. The flashes are clean also, which gives crisp animations.

I actually like how the flash is not overly bright — this shields my zoetrope animations from over exposure.

I am stunned that this superb app is free. I will check the author’s web page to see if there is a option to submit a donation.

Great app! Used every day!

Each Hertz is equal to 60 cycles per minute! 10 Hz equals 600 cycles per minute!! I love using this strobe light as it has the exact Hertz setting!

Excellent

Excellent - perfect for checking the 33/45rpm speed of my Dual record player turntable. Thank you.

Strobe light review

Love the concept however the torch light is not bright enough.

Does what it says

Simple to use, does what it says. Ideal for checking rpm of drill press, lathe, etc. Not sure if LED flash is at max brightness - had to turn workshop lights off to see things properly. Useful app though.

Erratic

LED flashes erratically, no use at all. Deleted.

Sir

Light is on lowest brightness with no way to increase it whatsoever

Consistently accurate flashes? No

Needs a fix to make the strobe flash at even rates.

Not ISO or NIST compliant; way off

We just had our centrifuge calibrated by an ISO 17025 accredited lab. It was recorded at 2515 RPM and this app reads 2664. That’s out of specification for us.

50hz brilliant

Used it to check turntable speed.
Either turntable is 0.3% slow or this is 9.3% fast - close enough for my ears👂👂

Lump of horses—t

Ruined it by putting an add in the control box. I before paid too. What a joke.
