Imagine what you would have given, being able to send messages to your best friend, late on a summer night, just by being able to flash the message to them by typing it. Now imagine what would it be like if you could make it more secret by giving it a code that only they could decode. Now what would make it more amazing, then it being a code that your brother who has been spying on you could not break it and tease you about what you have been talking about late on those warm summer nights. Let's say you are sailing, and you want to warn other boats about high winds. You don't have a radio nor know any morse code, what if you didn't need to know morse code because all you do is type in a message and it is flashes the morse code for you to any boats that are passing by. Lets say you are at a concert and you want to send a message to the stage, unlike the other people who just turn their phone light on for the entire concert, You are typing messages and they are getting flashed to the lead singer. Let's say you...., again another possibility. What started off as just a toy. Is something more. Use, Explore it, have fun. When you type a message on the top text field, it immediately get turn into morse code in the field below it. You can flash the message using the light, or sound it out by playing it. You can also text the message using the Message button which will take you to the iMessage app to send this message, or can copy a iMessage text into the app. If you want to encode it, select the cipher button, there you can encode or decode a message. If somebody is flashing a morse code message, go into the more code screen, this is where you can tap out the message either using the classic morse code key, a key pad with dot, dash, space and word. Translate the message by going back to the main screen. If you want just think of it as a toy, however don't let that limit you and how you use it.
