SOUND THAT FOLLOWS YOUR EVERY MOVE • Smooth Swing: the hum rises, bends and roars as you move, following the speed and angle of every swing • Clash: stop a swing hard, as if the blade hit something • Blaster Deflect: tap the screen to send a bolt back where it came from • Iconic ignition and retraction sounds • 4 sabers, Graflex, Unstable, Survivor and Scavenger, each with its own sound font, effects and color • Sensitivity control, so effects fire at exactly the force you like FEEL IT IN YOUR HAND • On iPhone, haptics follow the sound: a constant buzz that swells as you swing, and a hit you can feel on every clash • The whole screen glows with your blade's color, at full brightness while it's lit NEW: FORCE ACTIVATION • Ignite your saber without touching your phone. Perfect party trick. SIMPLE CONTROLS • Tap the crystal or swipe up to ignite, swipe down to retract, tap to deflect • Shortcuts and Siri: "Ignite Saber" and "Retract Saber" • Use the Action button on iPhone, a Control Center control, or a Lock Screen widget to jump straight to your saber ON APPLE WATCH • A full saber on your wrist that works on its own, no iPhone needed • Your wrist's motion drives the swings, clashes and stabs • Ignite with a tap or Double Tap, and if available, the Action button • Stays running even if you lower your wrist • Watch face complications to launch it in a tap MADE FOR EVERYONE • Full VoiceOver support, including a walkthrough spoken in VoiceOver's own gestures and a Retract action whenever the blade is lit • Voice Control and Switch Control: every control can be reached and named • Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, and Dim Flashing Lights, which softens every flash and flare THE FULL EXPERIENCE • An opening crawl and end credits worthy of the films • A hands-on walkthrough that teaches each move as you try it • And a secret or two, for those who look closely… PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads, no tracking, and no data collected.
