Lumos for Android
This is now my No.1 favorite app ever!
I'm in love with Harry Potter, and I absolutely love the fact that I can perform a spell and get results. However, it is the touchiest speech command ever. While I found it funny when it turned on when Harry was saying 'Lumos' at the start of Prisoner of Azkaban, I did not find it funny when it subsequently turned on a million times after. Not even to words that have any apparent relation to Lumos. My dog was drinking water, and it literally turned on. Kind of disappointing.
Not much to say, given the fact that it is a flashlight, but wow! I've tried a couple different HP flashlight apps and this one is by far the best. I love how I can live as if in the wizarding world, casting spells of lumos and nox. From what I've tried so far the mic seems to be pretty accurate, with only a short delay here and there. Overall a cool, fun app for any Harry Potter fan! Only suggestion is to be able to change which characters wand you'd like to use. Other than that cosmetic, awesome!
brilliant! I feel lucky to have found this lil app.. As is, I yelled outloud and used it several times when I realized that it really works.. haha I even shouted Lumos Maxima.. and still it works.. haha I'm so happy.. this is brilliant indeed!!! bloody hell.. haha. TO THE DEVELOPER. hopefully you could have some upgrades like having choices of the wand and background.. thank you
The first time I tried it, it didn't work. I was in the middle of writing a review when suddenly the light turned on. It seems to respond to my voice commands (better than other apps I've tried) but it's weird that it lagged for so long on the first try. Love it otherwise.
There's no accurate when recognizing the word Lumos. I can make different sounds and it will turn on and turn off the light. // Falta precisión al momento de reconocer la palabra. Puedo decir cualquier cosa y así se enciende y apaga.
I had a lot of fun with it when I first downloaded it, but the light turns itself on frequently, even with my screen locked. It makes it's noise every few minutes. I have no choice but to uninstall.
Connection timing out stopping the download. Error message connecting to camera? What ever that even means. And too many permissions. Sorry but, no thanks. This was supposed to be fun and it turned into something diffucult. Uninstalled.
It turns on and off on command flawlessly. My problem is that even after having turned the flashlight off and pulled up a different app the lumos app has commandeered the mic. So if I try to talk to text or "ok google" search it says "can't open mic". Since Google will now turn on and off your flashlight useing the same commands this app can go.
I was very excited to see that this actual worked. I was having a fan girl moment there hehe. But what I think would be cool is if we were allowed to choose our wand the way other apps do.
It stays on for about a minute before turning off, even if your screen is still on. Also if I want it to work properly, instead of saying "Lumos" with correct Latin pronunciation of the vowels, I have to pronounce it so that it rhymes with hummus. Fail.
This is my new favorite flashlight app! The UI/UX is wonderful and it works like a charm; I haven't tried the shaking method because my phone doesn't have a gyroscope feature, but the voice command works fine so far. Interestingly, though, it only seems to understand me when I whisper the spells. The only thing I wish for is to be able to move it to my SD card as my phone has very limited internal memory. Other than that, this app is fantastic!
Using this app I get the feeling that I'm also having a wand of my own!! But the only thing is voice stimulation should be enhanced as I have to say the lumos around 3 to 4 times to let the app knw. So that's only the defect or else everything is just outstanding!! I would even like to say that whosoever's idea it is, just hats of to that guy/gal
Whenever I say lumos it doesn't turn on. Apart from that,it's awesome. This is really helpful as I always (after all this time?) Lose things!
There is nothing like harry potter in this world#harry potter fan AND ALSO FANTASTIC BEASTS IS ALSO BULLSHIT..... BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING LIKE HARRY POTTER IN THIS WORLD AND I MISS YOU FOREVER UNTIL I DIE.... IF AGREEE THEN HIT LIKE
Just one little problem. When you say lumos it doesn't work untill you say it 2 or 3 times. Otherwise it's wonderful! Thank you to the creator who made this app!
Lumos is an amazing app works from a far distance the command 'Lumos' doesn't always work first time but all together a grate app no complaints, great for Harry Potter nerds/fans like myself. 5 stars. Definitely download it's absolutely amazing, I've found no other flashlight like it
Certain things works. Lumos,and Nox take a bit. The shaking is iffy. Touching works all the time. I wish I could change the wand.
The app is simply awsome, although it could get some improvement, for example : the voice command isnt properly working(for me nox always works, but lumos doesn't). You could also add more features, like choosing the wand(even a short intro where the wand chooses you at oliwanders xD), and then add some spells like, lumos for the wand to light up,umas máxima in order to turn on the flashlight, etc. Anyway... Great job
The app is very well designed and its simplicity makes it easy to use. But the microphone part is not very good as it does not always work when i say "Lumos" and it more than sometimes turn on by just hearing random things like if the television is on or there's someone talking around it might mistake a sound with "Lumos" and turn Flashlight on. I left my phone in the living room next the TV and family, came back to find the flashlight on.
The voice thing works but it is not connected to my original torch! I don't really understand the point of it now u can use lumos and nox to use your torch in Google.
Thank you so much I miss Harry Potter, I want to feel that craze and magic. I could read the book infinitely and watch the movies forever and never get tired! Again, thank you!
Bloody hell. This is genius. But if i pronounce other words rhyming the word LUMOS it turns on. Can you work with that? I'll give you five stars for it.
I love the app but it keeps turning on and off even when i'm not saying any voice commands. I disabled shake and tap and hold controls but it still goes on and off on its own. Still giving it 5 stars tho, just because i love the idea of saying Lumos and Nox :D
It disturbs wi-fi and it turned on when I said hi but it still works
I love this app so much. The only thing is you have to close the app completely to get it to stop and it turns on at random moments. But other than that it's amazing. My sister and I love this so much.
I would 100% love this app, but it would only turn on when I said lumos wrong! (Right= loo-moe-s, wrong= rhymes with hummus)
For fan creation i absolutely love it & will be using this instead of my smart gesture lol but it disrupts my camera for some reason & it has to be in your recent apps to be used for android BUT I LOOOVE IT OMG
Nothing happens for voice command or tapping the screen. But the wand lights up if I VIOLENTLY shake my phone, but the flashlight on my phone never turned on! Dud.
It just won't turn on when I say Lumos. I tried it a lot of times, in different areas, but it still won't work..I don't know, seeing the other comments, it works..I AM REALLY SAD, I REALLY WANNA TRY THAT. But, other than that, it's awesome!
This app existed? I am having so much fun right now using this. Thank you so much. Can we get more wand choices in a premium version of this?
I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and I've tried many of these apps, but that's the best. English is not my native language and I'm impressed with how it understands my voice pretty much all the time.
This would be great if it didn't turn on and off randomly. Great idea but terrible for when you actually need a light to stay on.
It's working well.. I am feeling like I was in wizarding Worlddd.. As a potterhead I just loved itttt.... But Sometimes It's not getting me when I say Lumos.. But it's fine.. Loved this
The voice command works for nox but not for lumos on my phone. Please fix this in a future update! I also read somebody elses review and i love their idea for different wands you could choose! You should do this! This is a lot more fun than a regular flashlight, but it would be great if the voice commands worked even when the app wasnt opened.
I saw this app and thought COOL downloaded it and it then it won't work as a flash light and turns on the app (not light on) randomly it's junk I have the Samsung Galaxy s5
I'm having difficulty to turn the light on by saying the keyword "Lumos": sometimes it works, most of the times it doesn't. The hand-shaking also is being hard to activate, at least for me. But the design is nice (not something old and outdated like most of Harry Potter related apps I found out there, but something verging on the material design) and, in general, the idea is great and I can see the possibility of something big coming out of it. Congratulations and keep up the good job!
It works fine but you have to say lumos maxima and please let a selection of wands
This app is amazing but it would be better if there were other wands

A pretty cool app. Really cool saying Lumos and Nox to turn on your flashlight. but I think you could use some minor touch-ups. Sometimes it picks up my voice sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it seems like there's a delay every now and then. Overall it's pretty cool app.
