Description

****Thank you for making us a TOP 25 App in US, UK and Canada App Store category specific rankings!****

Seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, is a kind of depression that appears at certain times of the year. Light therapy is one of the potential treatments for this condition. Almost 80% of the people who try light therapy find it beneficial. This app converts your apple device into a light box.

Why you SHOULD NOT download this App:
1. If you are looking for a SAD Light Box App that generates an intensity of 10,000 Lux
2. If you are looking for a quick fix and can not commit to consistent morning exposure sessions for at least 2 weeks
3. If you will get turned off by the simplicity of this app and the solution to Seasonal Affective Disorder

Why you SHOULD download this App:
1. If you want to try a cheap yet effective alternative to a traditional Light box which uses lower intensity BLUE LIGHT (approx. 100 to 575 Lux) and is backed by research (Google research paper: The effects of low-intensity narrow-band blue-light treatment compared to bright white-light treatment in sub-syndromal seasonal affective disorder by NCBI, US National Library of Medicine)
2. If you would rather be intelligent and try something for a fiver rather than spend a few hundred dollars on a conventional light box
3. If you are able to consistently commit to regular morning exposure sessions for at least 2 weeks
4. If you would be happy with a REALLY SIMPLE APP that transforms your Apple device into a Light box and is more portable and user friendly
5. If the weather is making you sad :( and you would rather be happy :)

This app can also help you:
1. Determine if you are suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)/ Cabin Fever/ Winter Blues/ Seasonal Depression with help of a short scored test
2. Create your own unique shade of Blue / White / any other color light that works best for you
3. Use the app as a Dawn Simulator (set alarm)
4. Set timer for your light box to time your morning exposure sessions
5. Shop for other products to help with SAD
6. Listen to the Radio in the background

UV Rating: The UV emission from your Apple Device is 0, hence this app does not have a UV rating.

Some other activities you might want to try to deal with symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder are:
• End your morning shower with a cold shower
• Try to arrange the spaces you spend time in to maximize sunlight exposure
• Keep curtains open during the day
• Trim tree branches or hedges that may be blocking some of the light from getting into your home
• Move furniture so that you sit near a window or, if you exercise indoors, set up your exercise equipment by a window
• Install skylights and add lamps
• Build physical activity into your lifestyle preferably before SAD symptoms take hold. Physical activity relieves stress, builds energy and increases both your physical and mental well-being and resilience
• Make a habit of taking a daily noon-hour walk, particularly if you commute to school or work in the dark hours of the day
• Meditate at least 20 min a day (focus on your breathing)
• Try High intensity training if you are fit enough and have less time
• Maintain good sleep hygiene
• When all else fails, try a winter vacation in sunny climates—if the pocket and work schedule allow. Keep in mind that the symptoms will recur after you return home

REFUND POLICY: If you consistently use the App for 14 days and show us that you genuinely tried but did not get any results, WE WILL REFUND 100% OF YOUR MONEY. *Subject to terms and conditions of Apple Inc. and the Apple App Store.

Don’t bother

Wanjomanjo on

Go to apple pages and create a blank white document, turn screen to full brightness and sit beside it for 30 minutes! …can I have my money back please?

Massive fail

Mimi mooch on

Didn’t wake me up app open don’t waste money on this app

Good but needs improvement

DCFlulu on

I’ve been having problems with the dawn simulator timer... first I set my alarm to 7.30am and didn’t go off, I contacted customer service and they tried to help. In the meantime it started to go off but at really random times. Once it went off at 5.30am so I compensated for the two hour gap and set it to 8.30am thinking it would go off at 6.30am but it went off at 4.55am?! Not heard anything back from customer service... Not happy at all, it a shame as it’s got loads of potential. The SAD light is really good so I will keep using it for that purpose.

Not getting full app

Not able to change colour anymore, just blue.

Love the Dawn Simulator ❤️🌞❤️

I use this app as a light and sound based alarm. I put my phone in my docking/ charging station overnight and it wakes me up to a beautiful and gradually increasing source of light with sounds of birds chirping 😇

Really simple and useful for the dark winter months 🌅

Finally a single app that I can use as a timer based light box and an alarm based dawn simulator!! Initially it took some patience as just staring at a blue screen can be boring (and frustrating!) - but the new upgrade enables me to play the radio in the background 📻 🎵. The trick is to stay with for a few days before you start feeling the difference. All the best 🤘🏻🌞

Not a sad light

PR07HET on

Simply don’t bother. It’s just a screen colour changer not an awaken to light app.

Simple and effective

Harps!'12 on

Simple and effective. Must try 👍🏼

Worth the Money!!

TinaHappyMummy on

Using this App not only enabled me to try Light Therapy for cheap price, but I also learnt loads about Seasonal Affective Order using the resource links within the App. Worth the money!

Love it!

I have been using this app for 2 weeks. I turn this app on (I use the default blue light setting) and keep my phone next to the mirror whilst brushing my teeth and getting ready in the morning. My exposure session lasts for about half hour. I don’t directly look at my phone during this time but ensure the light is falling on my eyes. I have seen a marked difference in my symptoms. Hope it works for you too 😊🏝
