About Strobe Light

A simple strobe light application which turns the camera flash light on and off based on configurable delays.

*** Not compatible with all devices, please see below for details ***

Both the time the light is on and the time the light is off can be configured independently to fully customise the type of flashing you require. For best results, try a very low but not zero value for the "on" time, and a medium to low value for the "off" time. The timing is not guaranteed to be exact, at the very high speeds the Android system might not be able to control the flash light accurately.

This application has been developed on a HTC Desire, and has only been tested by me on a HTC Desire and a Samsung Galaxy S3. I make no guarantees that this will work on other Android devices, though it probably will if you have a back-facing camera with a flashlight. I have, however, had reports of it working on a number of other devices, including the Samsung Galaxy S2, HTC Incredible, HTC Evo 4G, HTC Inspire 4G, Xperia Play, HTC Sensation, HTC Wildfire, HTC Incredible 2, HTC Desire HD, and the HTC Incredible S. There have also been reports of it NOT working on various devices - please email me if it doesn't work for you stating what device you have, and I'll see what I can do

*** Permissions ***
The Camera permission is required to allow the application access to the Camera Flashlight. At no point are any pictures taken.

No flash

I've tried a few of these on my xperia c1905, and they were all too slow, or rather pathetically used the screen. I found the "time on", and "time off" settings very helpful and rather effective. Keep up the good work and see how more developed this app can become!

I70%

Just like all other strobe(and nothing more, they SAY)-apps I tried, it crashed exactly like standard camera/camcorder-apps crash since my camera got wrecked. (Somehow I get the feeling you're not only spying (or trying to) on me, you're explicitly lying about it! You're american, aren't you?)

Phone's led cant be turned on forever and with your app i can still use it as a flashlight

This app works great on KitKat 4.2.2 on my other devices, but does not work on this device lollipop 5.1.1 Galaxy Grand Prime, fix please

This app was great on my old moto g but the light doesn't turn on on my LG g4

Exactly what I need. I use this all the time in while taking photographs and long exposure light painting. My art is very light sensitive. I use filters (like a piece of paper) when I need to soften the light. What is most important to me is that I can control how long each flash is and the time between flashes. Totally love this app!

Works amazing only thing they could do is make it more appealing. Also the orientation is perfect giving the user more precision and achieve what he is looking for. It would be great if you guys would add a sound coordinated mode! Good job keep it up!

Does what the tin says. May I suggest a change so the strobing continues when device sleeps ?

M70%
by M####:

Okay, so you open this app and it has to bars; two bars are shown on the screen. One bar has written "Light on". The bottom line is named, "Light off". Below the two bars is a paragraph telling you how bad the light can be for your health. Directly below the crap above is a check box named, "Enable Strobe;"... However, when selected nothing happens!!! Absolutely no response!!!! On the Samsung Galaxy S5!!! I rate this NEGATIVE 5 STARS! DOES NOT WORK

Works fine, no stupid permissions, looks basic but perfectly adequate. Numeric entry of parameters would be nice but for free I can't complain

I've been wanting a strobe light on my phone (one that didnt use my screen as the strobe light) it actually uses your phones flashlight, works wonders on my HTC One

I really love this app and I also really need it. Me and my girlfriend like to play nerf gun wars and we use the strobe lite as our lighting to make it a little more interesting. Please make it so when my backlight shuts off or I lock my phone it stays on.

It uses my GS2 LED camera flashlight, its a cool simple to use app, now I can bring the party to me where ever I go. Now I wish my phone's LED flashlight came in different colors but other than that it does what it says, highly recommend it, I believe its the only app out there that doesn't use the screen for it.
