Everyone brought a voice. You brought a light show. Ledify turns the phone already in your hand into a glowing LED marquee. Type their name. Pick a look. Turn it sideways and hold it up, and your message scrolls across the full screen in light, bright enough to read from rows away. Thirty seconds of work. Best sign in the building. NOBODY CAN HEAR YOU IN HERE That has never stopped anyone from trying. Fifty thousand people all shouting the same thing, and not one of them gets through. Light works differently. Light carries to the back row, over the heads of everyone still yelling, and lands on exactly the person you meant it for. WHEREVER THE CROWD IS The stadium. Call out a player by name, run the score, start the chant that catches. The pit. Show the band exactly who came out tonight. The festival field at 1am when nobody can find anybody. The arena floor at a tournament, and the couch watching the same match at home. Then everywhere else. Arrivals gates. Finish lines. Birthdays. Proposals. The school pickup line. Anywhere being impossible to miss is the entire point. AND IT LISTENS Turn on Sound Reactive and Ledify picks the room up through the mic, driving the animation live off whatever is happening around you. The bass. The chant. The second the whole place comes apart. Every other sign in the section just sits there. Yours moves with it. 46 LOOKS. PICK YOUR VOLUME. Sparkle, Classic, Party, Ambient and Seasonal. Keep it clean and cutting so it reads from the top row, or stack fire, rain, waves, ripples, neon glow and animated gradients until it looks like a marquee off a Vegas strip. Set the LED shape, the size and the font until it is unmistakably yours. THE STAGE IS SACRED Ledify is two screens with two jobs. The Studio is where you build, with a live preview of the exact thing the crowd is going to see. The Stage is where you perform. Full screen, no ads, no popups, no daily caps, nothing waiting to interrupt you. Once that sign goes up, it is just you and the moment. THE CLIP IS HALF THE POINT Save the whole performance as a video or a GIF, straight to your camera roll, posted before you have even sat back down. Pro exports come out clean, no watermark. NOTHING IS HIDDEN Every Pro look switches on and plays live in the Studio. No blurred thumbnails, no locked previews, no guessing what you are paying for. Try all of it. Decide at Play. FREE Six presets, the full Studio, unlimited performances, and export with a watermark. PRO All 46 presets, Sound Reactive, animated backgrounds, watermark-free export, no ads. Monthly, annual, or pay once and own it. iPhone and iPad. Ten languages. Everyone else can shout. Save your voice. SUBSCRIPTIONS Pro is available as an auto-renewing Monthly or Annual subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase you own outright. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and can be managed or cancelled anytime in your App Store account settings. Exact pricing for the monthly, annual and lifetime options is shown on the in-app purchase screen before you buy.

Type it, hold it up. The phone becomes an LED panel the whole row can read. Every letter is redrawn dot by dot, so Korean, Japanese, Cyrillic and emoji come out as real lit and unlit LEDs, not as big text. The board - A running message: left, right or still, with speed, letter size and bold - Turn the phone sideways and the board goes up; upright again and it comes back down - Full brightness while it is up, your own level when it closes - Dot size and glow, mirror for holding it behind glass - 30 ready-made messages for concerts, matches, parties, shops and someone you love Signs, new in 2.0 - Up to three short lines held still, each in its own colour - A marquee or double frame round the edge - Sized to fill the screen with no scrolling, for a queue, a fan meeting or the stands The light - A cheer light drawn in dots, with a name under it - Bar, heart, star, ring or orb; steady, pulse, blink, rainbow or wave - Plain shapes in your colours: no group's official light stick is copied - Flash on a tempo from 40 to 200 BPM, with a tap-tempo key (Board Pro) The scoreboard - Two teams, points, period and a running clock, on an LED panel - Quit the app at half time and the score is still on the board Board Pro, paid once Free: the board, signs with two lines, red, white and sky, the bar light, the scoreboard and every ready-made message. Pro adds all colours and your own, square and diamond dots, a third sign line, keeping boards and signs for the next show, the other light shapes and patterns, and the flash. Paid once with your Apple Account. There is no subscription, so there is nothing to cancel. Refunds go through Apple; the app links straight to that page. What it leaves out No ads. No account. No permissions asked. It works with no connection and collects no data; what you keep stays on this phone. Good to know Full brightness uses more battery and can warm the phone; it can be switched off in Settings. Fast flashing is uncomfortable for some people: skip the flash near anyone sensitive to flashing light.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: LED Board at none against Ledify's shown. LED Board also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
