  1. 5/5Great when I travel with my toddler

    I put this app on my iPad mainly for the times our family travels. Both our parents’ houses are very dark at night, and my husband or I end up having to share a very dark bed/room with our toddler who isn’t quite old enough to be okay sleeping by herself in a strange bed at grandma’s house or at a hotel. It’s so nice to have this app. It’s bright enough that you can see where You are going without stubbing toes or banging a shin and quietly get stuff from your suitcase in the room while she’s sleeping without waking her up, but it’s dim enough that You can point it right at her check to on her while she’s asleep without disturbing her.

  2. 3/5It Works.... But Is There A Point?

    Basically this app is a blank screen and when you open the app it automatically turns the brightness (on your iPad) to max. I’ll admit, it hurts my eyes a lot. But there is some use for it. I mean, it’s great if you want to read a book and a quick source of light. But who wants to carry their bulky iPad around just to get light? I have personally, prefer a book light. They’re not too much money, slim, and attach to the book perfectly. If you’re thinking of getting this app for something entirely else—well, I do see some uses besides book reading. You could use it for drawing. If you place the paper on top of a light you can easily make a flip book. If you think it would be handy so that if a light burns out you have light, then you’re completely right! That has to be the most fitting use for this app. If a light were to burn out or the power burnt out—this is a quick and easy way to get light. But of course, iPad’s do run out of battery power so it’s not the most reliable. And again, they have no-battery-required crank lights. So do we really even need this app? You decide for yourself, download it, give it a try, and see if it’s really worth it. After all, it is free.

  3. 5/5Question about recent functionality

    I love this app and have been using it as a reading light in bed since August with no issues. However, the last few nights when I’ve tried to use it, I’ll open the app to the color screen that I have set for my reading light and the screen will go dark after 30 seconds or so of inactivity. It seems to be mirroring my phone’s power saving preferences and dimming the screen since I am not actively touching it. I was wondering if this is reflective of the new update or simply an error? If it is part of the update, how can I set the app so that this does not happen? Thank you!

  5. 5/5MyLight Works Great!

    I was looking for a simple to use flashlight app and MyLight is it. The app is simple to use and is not cluttered with useless extra features. My thanks to the developer for an easy to use flashlight app that works well. Job well done! **Update** I had a suggestion/question and I submitted it to the developer. Alex the developer responded promptly with a very informative and complete answer to my question. Thank you Alex for the nice app and answering my question promptly and completely.
