** WEEKEND SALE -- TOTALLY FREE **
...oh what the heck, now free until may 28th

While you can use this to show messages to people directly it works best in photos - simply take a picture with a longer shutter speed in a darker setting and your message or image will appear. Also, you need to swing it SLOWLY, in a steady back and forth motion, dont flail around randomly.

*** Please see our flickr and facebook groups for examples
** and take your own action shots and post them! **

** SET SCREEN BRIGHTNESS TO MAX **
to do this, go into your phone settings, then choose brightness.

Features:
- text - set your own text messages or choose from a list of common ones like "Hi Mom" etc..
- colors - pick your own color
- images -- show emotocon or small resolution images
- rainbow mode - go crazy by turning your message into a rainbow of colors!

Again this app is best in photos so:
- it works best at night or in a dark setting
- practice your wave in front of mirror -- it takes a bit of practice to get it right
- if a person cant see it - get them to "look through you" - tell them not follow the phone with their eyes.

Lastly -- if the person cant see the message (some cant - its like that 3d image picture) -- have them look at you through a camera (i.e. the camera on the iphone) -- the message will become clear.

Pros and cons of Light Writer - Photography Effects app for iPhone and iPad

Light Writer - Photography Effects app good for

For example, when I try to show the message such as "hello there", I only see "llo the" in wide font size. As I swing wider, images(or fonts) go wider to.

なるほど。難しい。一眼レフで挑戦してみましたが、「ゆっくり振れ」と言う割にセンサーの反応が悪く、画面に何も表示されない事もしばしば。が、なんとか撮影に成功しました。一眼レフをお持ちの方向けにレビューします。コツは、左から右に平行移動させる際、移動の初めに軽くiPhoneをシェイクします。これで、確実に画面に文字を表示させます。一度表示されれば、文字を最後まで流してくれるようなので、ゆっくり平行移動させます。私の場合は、右手に持ち、左肩から右手を一杯に伸ばして120cm/2秒のスピードで21文字の同時撮影に成功しました。カメラの設定は、ISO1000、F3.5、5秒です。これ以外の設定でも可能でしょうが、面倒なので試してません。カメラで遊びたい人向けのアプリです。それ以外の人には正直お勧めしにくいです。 To developer This app is very attractive. But the sensor is too dull. For the message, I have to move slowly , but the sensor dosent work well by slow movement. So I think the best way is not by the sensor but by touch the screen to start the message. Its very convenient , I think , when we take a picture because useful to reduce the misstake. Im sorry that my poor English.

Per chi fotografa e ottima per fare giochi di light- painting. Creativa e economica.

Dont know what all the overeager kiddys that swing real fast are talking about. You just have to find the right pace.

Well of course there is a line morons!!!!!!!!! U have to wave it and see through a camera so u can read!!!!!!!!!

I loved this i thought it was very clever..... U sexy beast who came up with it!

Some bad moments

Bought it, couldnt sync it, and after three trys, find out it only works on iphone, ---WHY? --Havent the foggiest!! Seems odd since there are 30 million ipods out there.

Seems that no matter how hard I try to get this to work people just cant see the messages. Ive tried it with several friends and the best they can pick out is a few letters. I was hoping this would be like the special faceplate you could get for nokia phones long ago but it seems the only way to properly see the message is with a time lapse exposure on a camera. Quite disappointing.

Save your money this is pure junk. Apple made some cash as did who ever made this app. Dont be a sucker like me! Scam!

Most I can get is half the message to show. Maybe if the person you are showing it to likes wheel of fortune it would be good

At least I got it when it was free but I have to wave it way too fast to see barely any. Even in a pitch black room

I could see the images but not the messeges real well plus I was worries about messing up my phone from having to shake it real hard to even barely see it .
