## What is Stroboscope Alarm Clock?

"Stroboscope" turns your iPhone / iTouch into a:
1) strobe-light (white or multi-colors-lights effects)
2) psychedelic light
3) LED torch for the night
4) stroboscope torch: the flashlight (LED) flashes together with the stroboscopic lamp
5) SOS light lamp (emergency light signal)
6) alarm clock (time, date, locality, alarm)

STROBE LIGHT MODE:
- adjustable strobe flash rate
- multi-colors-lights mode: the color of the strobe light will automatically change
- strobeflash LED light

Amaze your friends in the clubs, at parties, in the night, with the light effects of Stroboscope.

TORCH / SOS / PSYCHEDELIC MODE:
Stroboscope can also be used:
- as a LED torch to illuminate rooms without light (it uses the “LED CAMERA FLASH LIGHT”, if it is available)
- as an emergency light lamp (SOS)
- as a psychedelic light
- as a LED high intensity strobe light (also for SOS)

ALARM MODE:
Stroboscope can be used as an alarm clock with date, time, locality, alarm:
1) set the alarm (Stroboscope will automatically go into night mode - light "off" - clock time, date, locality and alarm time "on")
2) at the moment of alarm Stroboscope will play an alarm sound (touch the screen to turn off the alarm or wait 120 seconds and the alarm sound will be stopped automatically) and it will automatically turn on the lamp of the torch to light the bedroom and facilitate the awakening
3) the alarm clock runs also if the application and the device are shutdown (it uses the notification system of the portable device with an “OLD STYLE" alarm sound effect)

### 1/5 — after 8 years??

*2023-11-03*

This app really doesn’t work. You have guess what the buttons are for and it doesn’t retain any selections you make. Concept is good, execution needs completion.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2023-01-28*

This app should be taken off the AppStore. Very user unfriendly. My assumption to be able to set an alarm with strobe functionality was far too optimistic. I challenge anyone to be able to set even a basic alarm using this app.

### 1/5 — Does not allow alarm to be set by date!!

*2022-03-03*

The App Store clearly shows a picture of a date choice to the left of the time, but having just loaded the app you only get the choice of time, no date. Very disappointing and I feel totally mislead. That’s why I bought it, not for the strobe.

### 2/5 — Cool features but no app usage guidance

*2020-05-27*

No manual or How-To’s for programming a preferred strobe pattern with alarm. Alarm defaults to single flashlight mode turned on at time of alarm, no strobe feature. Not a user-friendly app.

### 1/5 — Garbage App, don't buy

*2015-08-20*

This app is poorly designed and does not function as advertised. DO NOT BUY!

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2010-09-01*

As soon as app is launched, it randomly strobes, shifts color, and beeps annoyingly. No way to turn off sound, which beeps with each flash.
Useless.
