Turn light into art. LightInk is a long-exposure camera built for light painting: wave a flashlight, a sparkler or your phone screen in the dark, and watch trails of light paint your photo. No photography degree needed: you pick the vibe, the app handles the tricky settings. You just paint. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Long exposures from 15 to 90 seconds, with a self-timer to get in position • "Ambiance" control: tell the app how dark your scene is, it sets the sensor for you • Automatic focus: tap the screen to aim, falls back to infinity in the dark • A live preview where you watch your light trail appear as you draw • Relive the scene through the video recording of your artwork • A private on-device gallery, every shot saved with its settings • Share your best work with the LightInk community • Vote for other artists with "flashes", follow your favourites, climb the artist levels • The weekly event: one theme, one entry per artist, and a profile title to win on the podium • Guessing mode: Have fun guessing what others have drawn! • Light and dark themes — in English, French, German and Spanish WHAT TO PAINT WITH • A flashlight or head torch: the cleanest line for writing and drawing • A sparkler: that shower of golden embers, the light painting classic • Your phone screen: a wide, colourful light, perfect for filling shapes • Neon strips, fairy lights, glowing toys: bold, steady colours • Car headlights, fireworks, the city at night: the trails draw themselves FREQUENTLY ASKED • A tripod? Not required — rest your phone on a table, a wall, a bag. The self-timer avoids the shake when you tap Start. • How long an exposure? 15–30s for a word or a signature, 45–90s to build a whole scene with several lights. • Do I set the ISO? Forget it: pick the Ambiance that matches your scene and the app sets the sensitivity for you; in Auto mode (supported devices) it even meters the scene live and warns you if the room is too bright. • Will I show up in the photo? Only if you want to: keep moving in dark clothes and you stay invisible; hold still for a few seconds and you appear. • Does it work indoors? Yes — a dark room, lights off, blinds closed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: EvoShutter Pro at none against LightInk's shown. LightInk's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
