### 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 :)

### 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.

### 3/5 — Good but doesn’t work like a strobe light

*2018-02-05*

Strobe lights spend ~85% of their time off to make your movements appear less fluid because it is only giving you the opportunity to see yourself for a millisecond at a time. Please add the ability to adjust the amount of each cycle it spends on and off

### 3/5 — Not good😟😔

*2017-09-23*

Well it keeps freezing up and throwing me off the app it doesn't change color this is not what I wanted

### 2/5 — Still no IOS 8.3

*2015-06-25*

LED locks on with strobe feature if you try to go over 30fps, even if you go back lower. Have to close app and restart for it to work again.

### 2/5 — Worked good until...

*2015-01-31, version 2.1.1*

I tried the strobe color mode. Now I can't get it back to anything else. Even when I force quit, the next time I try the strobe it locks up in color mode. Buggy.

### 5/5 — FEED THE FROG

*2014-11-08, version 2.1.1*

Time to eat

### 5/5 — Surprisingly brilliant!

*2014-10-31, version 2.1.1*

Did a quick search and downloaded this on a whim because I needed a strobe light. Out of the three strobe apps I downloaded, this is by far the best - responsive and really fast!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD

### 1/5 — Needs serious improvement

*2015-06-26, version 2.5.0*

The app is incredibly inaccurate when it comes to the strobe timing. For example: 2.0 fps is too fast and 30 fps is too slow!!! Please fix this major issue

### 1/5 — Wow

*2015-02-04, version 2.1.1*

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 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!

### 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

### 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. :)

### 5/5 — Does what it’s supposed to do

*2019-07-14*

My 4 yr old grandson is scared of the dark so, to get his mind on other things, I searched for a Strobe Light in the App Store. I tried a couple that didn’t strobe the flash then I ran across this one. The slider bar to control the speed of the strobe allowed me to match the speed of the ceiling fan in his bedroom. He was amazed that the fan appeared to stop! The display “strobe” is pretty lame but the flash does exactly what I needed. Thank you! He’s now asleep :)

### 5/5 — Cool

*2019-04-26, version 2.5.0*

Strobe lighting my friends :)

### 5/5 — Good for what I wanted it for but..

*2018-12-27*

I wanted this app to test various strobe frequency affects on consciousness. It goes up to 32hz from very low (2hz I think) which is nice but any chance to have it go up to 40hz?

Overall pretty good, does what it says.

Thanks Jonathan!
