### 5/5 — Is it still in development?

*2024-10-22*

The app handles the basic functions well, but an airplay function would be good so that you can also transfer it to a TV.

### 5/5 — This is exactly what I need!

*2024-03-01*

Pros: 
Simple. 
Easy to use
One time For payment. 
Multiple device support. 
Low cost!  

No Cons.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the nice review! 😊

### 1/5 — Literally does nothing

*2023-03-11*

This is a complete waste of money. It does absolutely nothing. Well, except take money from you. You’re better of simply using the light that already emanates from your iPad.

**Developer response:** The whole purpose of the app is to utilize the light that emanates from your device, and turn it into different colors based on which light you need. You can request a refund from Apple if you don't like it. / Alex

### 5/5 — Works as advertised. I love it.

*2022-01-08*

I use Tiny Softbox on my Mac's 27" display to lit my face and take professional photos.

The app has a beautiful user interface with straightforward user experience.

10/10 recommend it for people who are looking to extend the use of their display for photography.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the nice review, Nima. Happy that you find Tiny Softbox useful!
