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.
