'Sleep Lantern' turns your iPad and iPhone into a calming animated night light. This app is Ad-free, so it is suitable for everyone. Inspired by old fashioned paper lanterns, our dreamy atmospheric scenes are lovingly animated with soothing soundscapes that help relax you before bed. Choose a timer setting from 5 to 60 mins and the app will slowly fade out and gently shut off. Research from parents told us that what they were really looking for was something ‘non stimulating’ to help their children wind down for the day. So we created Sleep Lantern. Choose a scene, sit back and immerse yourself in our dreamy atmospheric worlds. Free scenes included: - Silent light - Desert balloons - Snow globe - Lotus Silhouette Dreams Pack (Upgrade) - Boy blowing bubbles - Steam Train - Tree swing - Ice skating - Cats in Ferris wheel - Raining Cats - Cosmic Hourglass SETTING UP YOUR TIMER Using our built in timer works in conjunction with your iPad settings. To make sure the app shuts down, choose 2 minutes in your settings: Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock > 2 Minutes ABOUT THE ARTWORK This app is the beginning of a partnership between Frosby Apps and Alison Russell - a professional English silhouette artist.  Alison was taught the Victorian art of silhouette cutting by her grandmother at an early age. Using just scissors and paper, she cuts peoples' profiles at events - the result is magic!
