Using scientifically based equations, this application will simulate with impressive accuracy the light given off from a romantic candle while at the same time playing any music you select from your library! It's great for: romantic dinners, relaxation, mood setting, and similar situations where you may have forgotten your candle and stereo system! What makes this application unique is that it actually simulates candle light, so there is no image of a candle, and you shouldn't look at the actual screen of the device. Besides, it's not the candle itself, but the light it creates that matters! Place it in a dim area where the light can bounce off walls, or even under a lamp shade!
