The app that can save lives! If you had to install only one application, as much as it turns your smartphone to a beacon capable of getting you out of a bad situation: • In case of a breakdown on the road, notify coming cars. • Replace the rear or front light of your bicycle or boat at night. • Show your position to helicopters looking for you if you are lost in the sea or in the mountains. • Allow a kidnapped child to call for help from a car or house window. • Use it like an armband during jogging on busy roads so you don't get run over. But not only! This is also for fun: • Flash the rhythm in a concert. • Simulate a nightclub on the beach, choose the color of the beacon and the speed of its flashing, and let the party begin!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: 8bit BIKE LIGHT at none against Gyro Light's shown. Gyro Light's advantage is update cadence (every 6 months vs every 29 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
