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. CONCERT MODE • The screen lights up to the beat of the music picked up by the microphone. • 7 visualizers: Circle, Waves, Bars, Equalizer, Wave, Explosion and Cascade. • Press and hold to turn the light on, release to turn it off. • Choose the light color or let it cycle on its own. • Marquee text with 4 fonts, 4 effects (pulse, bounce, stretch and shake) and preview. • Recognizes the song that's playing and shows its title and artist. • Send the visualizer to your TV via AirPlay or HDMI. • Your music (Spotify, Apple Music…) keeps playing while you use the app. AND MORE • New glass-effect design on iOS 26. • Built-in help for every mode. • In 9 languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese and Norwegian. • Works on iPhone and iPad.
