Fan Tools is the first app made for fans. That allows you to use your screen's light by selecting your preferred color and also monitor the flashing speed in the stadiums for supporting your favorite team. (Blink a flash like a stars) You can enjoy the instruments that I built for you, such as the drums and snare. Also, I’ll build more instruments that are used by fans in the stadiums
