## What is Warning Light Camera?

Find that answer to one of the world's most annoying questions: "What does that light on my dashboard mean?". The Warning Light Camera is an information/camera based app that has the data of over 90 different dashboard warning lights. Each part of the app is full of information to help a car owner when that annoying light comes on. 

TAKE A PICTURE OF THE WARNING LIGHT.
What this app does differently is that instead of searching for what that light means, all you need to do is use the app and take a picture. The app will provide a list of possible predictions of that warning light, along with a description of what the light means, how to get rid of it, and whether you should still drive or not.

FIND YOUR LIGHT BY YOURSELF.
If you don't think that the warning light was provided in the search, we provide an encyclopedia of warning lights at your finger tips. When you decide what light you want to know about press it and see all the information you will want.

CHECK IF YOU SHOULD DRIVE OR NOT.
When reading about the light, the number one question that is asked is whether you can drive the vehicle or not. This app has all this information and much, much more.

DESCRIBE, FIX, AND SAFE?
Instead of just whether it is safe to drive with that light on, new and more detailed descriptions are added to ever part of the app. Specifically, each light has a detailed description as to what the light can mean, how to go about getting ride of it, and also if it is safe to drive with that light on. 

POWERFUL IMAGE RECOGNITION AT YOUR DISPOSAL.
There are thousands of images used to try and get the best result possible for the warning light showing on the dashboard. Now more accurate then ever, and getting better all the time.

LIGHT AND DARK MODE
new feature added is the ability to use dark mode in the app. See an already stunning app in a new way with Apple's dark mode features. 

SEE EVERYTHING A DIFFERENT WAY
Also something new is the ability to use the app in the landscape orientation. Before it was mostly just used in portrait mode, but now the Warning Light Camera can be used in landscape orientation, like any other app out there. It is a new experience at your fingertips. 

Try it and become a car expert in seconds.

***** NEVER USE THIS APP WHEN DRIVING. *****

THIS APP DOES NOT REPLACE A TRIP TO THE MECHANIC.

This apps sign prediction list is incredibly useful. I’ve been using this app for a couple days now and can say it is very easy to use. It has identified a bunch of warning signs I was unsure about. Highly recommend.
