The most realistic virtual lighter: a Zippo that opens, lights and sounds like the real thing, a candle that lights up your screen, and a Concert mode that turns your phone into a light that moves with the music. REALISTIC ZIPPO LIGHTER • Swipe up to open it, swipe down (or shake your phone) to close it. • Tap to light it, with real opening, ignition and closing sounds. • The flame moves and tilts as you move your phone. • 10 flame types: classic, realistic and 8 HD flames (wild, blue gas, golden…). • Resize the flame with + and −, up to almost the whole screen. • Pick the exact color: hue, saturation, brightness and opacity, with live preview, 4 saved colors and a button to go back to the original. • Sparks you can show or hide. • "Flame only" mode: hides the whole interface and leaves just the fire. REALISTIC CANDLE • Tap to light it. • The same flames, colors and sizes as the lighter. • Skins wrapped around the wax so every candle looks different. THOUSANDS OF SKINS • Designs by category: Top, 3D, Animals, Architecture, Art and many more. • For the lighter and for the candle. • Blend modes: Normal, Multiply, Overlay and Soft. • Random skin or no skin at all. • Metallic finish with shine and edges.

Do you want to know your teammates better? If so, this app is for you. The questions in this activity facilitate “mutual self-disclosure,” a process of sharing personal information that acts as an accelerator to deepening connections. To build a great relationship, you want to start slow and reciprocal. If you disclose too much too fast, it could create the opposite effect and deter someone from opening up. These questions are based on the “fast friends” protocol, a proven method for deepening connections created by psychologist Arthur Aron at Stony Brook University. A study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin actually showed that following this protocol made pairs feel as close as others reported feeling in their closest relationships!
