About Strobily - strobe light
Strobily is the most accurate strobe light app on Android and it has a new feature: it can flash to the beat of music!
Features include:
- Millisecond precision LED flashing
- Flashing to the beat of music
- Pattern flashing
- Audio tachometer mode
- Torch/flashlight mode
- Burst mode
- Adjustable duty cycle
- Flashing with screen off
The newest feature in this app is its ability to flash to the beat of music. This is great for parties because strobe lights make music more fun!
The primary feature of this app though is its extremely accurate stroboscope ability. Uses include everything from checking the RPM of your car engine, to calibrating a record turntable, and even to finding the speed of a spinning fan. With millisecond accuracy and adjustable duty cycle, spinning objects can be made to appear stationary.
The LED will continue to flash even if you quit the app, this makes it perfect for use when you need to be visible at night. Mount your phone on your bike or carry it with you walking so that cars will be able to see you clearly.
The new audio tachometer feature allows your phone to listen to a repeating sound and discover the fundamental frequency plus any harmonics. Then with a simple button press, you can flash the LED at that frequency and watch everything freeze.
Finally, the new pattern section allows you to flash your LED in any pattern you desire. With saving and importing, highly complex patterns can be programmed.
Give it a try! There's something for everyone. Whether you're a technical person or a partygoer, this is the strobe light app you want.
A quick note about different phone hardware: This app works flawlessly on some phones and pitifully on others. Before you say "this app is crap" send me an email and I'll see if I can get it working on your phone.

With this app, I never have to worry about encountering Kurt Eichenwald. If he shows up, all I have to do is start the app and run the strobe and Kurt will be writhing on the ground and foaming at the mouth in seconds.

The frequency slider on the right is way too touchy. It is hard to actually set the frequency with it instead of using the fine-tune slider. Conceptually I like the two-mode slider but the execution needs refinement badly.

One of the best strobe apps ive found if you want granular control of the frequency. Note to dev: for 5 stars please add ability to enter duration in seconds and/or abiliity to edit the number of flashes using keypad instead of +/- which is too cumbersome for entering programs that go for longer periods.

I tried several other tacho strobo apps but this one takes the cake. Allowed me to tach scan fan resonance conducted to the mic through my Droid phone chassis and confirm the harmonic with the strobe.

It's a stroboscope so why does it need so much access?

Fully configurable, works to the full capacity of my device, and even send to compensate for processor lag. Great for engineers and even has a fun music mode for casual partiers. Only drawback is you only get limited use with the free version.

Allows the user to tweak just about every aspect of the strobe from the length between flashes and the duration of the flash and the frequency of flashes. I'm balancing a ceiling light and wanted a burst of light timed even with my fan's rpm. With colored pieces of tape on each blade I am able to see which blade is out of balance. It works for my purpose similar to an engine timing light.

According to this app. 10,000 hz is one flash per second. lower frequency's flash faster!Rubbish app. Tacho frequency maxes out at 70hz. Would still be useless even if it worked.

Would be extremely useful as a beacon to flash for 25ms every second and a half to alert people to your position and save battery power.

Great science demo for the kids. Measured their fidget spinner at 600rpm. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the app runs fairly smoothly up to 30Hz. And after reading the instructions, even 200Hz. The app tells me it can achieve pulse duration down to 2.3ms min. Very clever sliding controller up to 100Hz.. Great configurability for techie users
