Magic Lights is the all-in-one light machine for your iPhone. It delivers flashlight, disco-style colors, soft ambient illumination — you name it. Magic Lights provides full control over the display colors and the LED photo light (if your device has one). Features: * Disco lights * Smooth ambient color changes * Flashlight (uses LED photo light if present) * SOS light (uses LED photo light if present) * Create your own light shows in a range of great colors and transition styles. TIPS: - Best effect in a darkened room - Turn your display brightness to the maximum in the iPhone's settings. - Turn the display towards a white wall for indirect illumination - Allow Magic Lights access to the back light (iPhone Settings -> Privacy -> Camera) WARNING: - Don't use if you are sensitive to light effects - Prolonged use of your phone's photo light will drain the battery quickly. - Prolonged use of your phone's photo light might cause temporary automatic disabling of the photo light to prevent overheating. NOTE: This free version is fully functional, but ad-sponsored. If you don't like to see ads and have a spare buck, consider getting Magic Lights Deluxe instead.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Laser Disco Lights at 3.7 against Magic Lights ES's 2.5. Laser Disco Lights also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 26 months) and ratings volume (503 vs 74). Magic Lights ES's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Laser Disco Lights sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Magic Lights ES asks for nothing beyond the download.
Laser Disco Lights holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Laser Disco Lights has 503 ratings behind it against 74, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Magic Lights ES's written reviews are positive against 20% of Laser Disco Lights's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Magic Lights ES ships an update every 26 months, Laser Disco Lights every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 22, 2026.
