## Light Detector Description
Have you ever listened to light? With Light Detector, now you can!
Light Detector transforms any natural or artificial light source it encounters into sound. Light Detector is easy to use! Just run the application and point your iPhone camera in any direction. You will hear a higher or lower sound depending on the intensity of the light.
If you are blind, Light Detector helps you to be more independent in many daily activities. At home, point your iPhone towards the ceiling to understand where the light fixtures are and whether they are switched on. In a room, move the device along the wall to check if there is a window and where it is. You can find out whether the shades are drawn by moving the device up and down.  
Bring Light Detector with you to discover what is around you at the speed of light.

## Light Detector Reviews in United States

### ***** "Great app for the blind!"
I am completely blind and use this often. I have guests and children who turn on the lights all the time and I have no clue the lights are even on. In the evenings I turn this app on and walk throughout my home and turn off all the lights left on by  my guests and kids. Thank you so much to the developer for making this app. Please continue to update the app so it works on all future iOS versions. Thanks again.

### ***** "An app that does exactly what it says it does!"
It works perfectly. It is nice to have an app do one thing and do it very well.
-- Turner42, 2023-07-08

### ***** "Love it!!!"
I too am totally blind. I’m so glad, and so is my spouse, that I can now help make sure all the lights are off at night!! ‘This is a totally awesome app!!!
-- Ms.Upset, 2019-12-02

### ***** "Does one thing, but does it well"
As a totally blind person, this app is wonderful for telling whether my environment has enough light to take decent pictures with TapTapSee, or to call Be My Eyes. Great thing to have among my utilities.
-- BladedBlossom, 2017-01-20

### ***** "Good App"
I just bot this App today
And I am amaze about what this app can do
Thank you for making this app for blind/visually impaired
-- Goalball.boy071993, 2015-07-18

### ***** "Deceptively simple"
This app makes a low humming sound when you open it in a dark room, and the sound changes pitch depending on how much light the camera sees. When I first opened it I thought it wouldn&#039;t be that useful, but I just didn&#039;t realise how many things are indicated by a little light. I&#039;ve used it to tell if an old cell phone was charging, if the coffee pot was on, if a light was burned out, if the kids had the light on in their room after bedtime, and even if a stick of incense was still burning. It&#039;s very sensitive and reliable.

### ***** "You light up my life"
Best feature ever for identifying led lights on small appliances like slow cookers and espresso machines.
-- SyzygyWithin, 2015-02-05

### *---- "No longer works on iPhone 6 Plus"
I&#039;ve used this app for years. It was a very nice and handy tool. However, as soon as I upgraded from my iPhone 4s to my iPhone 6 Plus, the app no longer worked.

Hopefully, the developer can fix this soon. Until then, do not buy this if you have an iPhone 6 Plus..
-- Bryan Smart, 2014-10-01

### ***** "Juanita"
Great app but it needs updating
-- lierin;))?, 2014-09-29

### ***-- "App is okay"
I am legally blind. This app works okay inside the house. But, I suppose I need to get a little bit more used to it. The continuous buzzing is kind of irritating. But it does respond to light very well.
-- Got Bandz?, 2014-07-28
