Create your own fantastic firework display to accompany Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet. Launch layer upon layer of stunning visuals, as the app helps you build a display perfectly timed to the music. Once finished - sit back and watch the music accompany your fireworks concert. Prokofiev's vibrant ballet music for Romeo and Juliet takes in the swaggering machismo of the 'Dance of the Knights' known to millions as the theme from The Apprentice. As the climax of the Edinburgh International Festival each year, the Virgin Money Fireworks Concert is watched by hundreds of thousands of spectators from all across the city. With over 400,000 fireworks launched from the magnificent backdrop of Edinburgh’s iconic Castle, you are set for an evening of explosive entertainment - a feast for the senses with rousing orchestral showpieces performed live by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. The difference is that this time, you’re in control of the fireworks. If you can’t make it to the concert in person, or want to relive the amazing show just one more time, there’s no better way than with VM Fireworks.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Laser Disco Lights holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Laser Disco Lights has 503 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of VM Fireworks's written reviews are positive against 20% of Laser Disco Lights's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

VM Fireworks ships an update every 6 weeks, Laser Disco Lights every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
