### 5/5 — Does what it is intended to.

*2024-08-15*

Yay! It works well and warns you when it’s about to shut off. No complaints here!

### 3/5 — Mark c

*2024-05-30*

They flash

### 4/5 — Good app

*2023-04-04*

To receive 5 stars, Please include the option of picking more than just one color. While, check marks can be chosen for the random strobing through the picked colors, also a number system so the sequence of the colors can be altered.  In my opinion, these additional upgrades will raise your otherwise good app, to the very best, in its intended market.  Cheers! and Thank you :)

### 1/5 — Get rid of the ad when you screen strobe

*2022-07-16, version 2.5.0*

Please get rid of that google ad when we full screen strobe. It is extremely annoying and I won’t even use your app if it stays there.

### 3/5 — Need a constant colour change

*2022-03-16, version 2.5.0*

Can only change to one colour. I want multiple. Try harder.

### 3/5 — Clumsy

*2022-03-12, version 2.5.0*

When strobing you can’t switch
Led off unless you hit the bulb icon first then tap the centre of screen
which turns a simple task of switching the strobe off into a clumsy faff.

### 5/5 — Effective

*2021-10-04*

This app is the best app I’ve ever installed. It is very effective and I like how you can adjust the speed of strobe

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD

*2021-09-16, version 2.5.0*

scammed me $65 when i didn’t ask for a subscription

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-11-01, version 2.5.0*

Great app I love it to mess with my friends and just to amuse my self but there is one little thing. At random points lately it has been cutting off and Jen coming back on when I have it at a high FPS I was wondering if you could please fix that issue but other then that I would give this app 1000 stars if I could. :)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-08-20, version 2.5.0*

Absolute rubbish!
