Sensory Light Box

(I posted a very similar review on Sound Box as I find them equally amazing). When I got my first ever iPad two years ago, I downloaded this immediately. I have autism and suffer with very severe sensory issues. I find this app very relaxing, calming and fun to use. I like to turn off all of my lights in my room and play with the app. It is brilliant and it is worth the cost. I am so grateful this app exists and I hope they make more because I'll be the first there to buy it! It has a variety of different options. My favourite is Nebula, Plasma and Rain. The imagery is very nice to look at and very pleasant. You can choose the background colour easily but I prefer to keep it black. The sound doesn't hurt my ears which is something I find weird as it does include quite high pitched noises but I believe I don't find these noises upsetting because I can control when they play or not. Thank you Cognable for such a great app. It's really made my life that little bit easier as it helps me calm down during stressful times during the day. I really hope you make more.

Worth all the money. It is brilliant for stress and anxiety relief and calming anger. A wonderful and relaxing app.

This app is brilliant, money well spent, there are loads of similar apps on the market but nothing as good as this. My son is on the Autistic spectrum and he loves it he spends hours on it.

Really pleased with this- great auditory and visual feedback. Used with different people and all find something they like. Well worth the money.

Waste of £1.99, it doesn't even work! It's just a blank blue screen!!! RIP OFF! I want my money back.

Really fascinating got to buy it!!!

A super app my son had development problems and he loves it he's age 2

Was really impressed with this app especially as it was very cheap. Brought this for my severely disabled son which he will enjoy as he loves this type of thing :)

Whilst this is absolutely fantastic app and enjoyed by my son with pmld, the app only seems to last for a day. When we return to it the next day the app does not work, no actions and no sounds. Help!!!

I am so pleased to find a developer has started to think about some specific special apps that could be used not only with special learners, but could be enjoyed by others too. I like the concept of accessing 21 special effects, especially for visually impaired learners, offering choice.. I also like the fact that it is abstract imagery so can be used for anyone. Linking sound and vision is great , the grumbles is fun! However it would be good to have some control over what is happening, for example, being able to turn off the sound.I could locate no 'home' button or access to change settings. The major flaw is in the overall darkness of the light effects and in the darkness background.Contrast sensitivity using only black is limiting, for example, yellow and dark blue images would be a better example for one of the effects. The figure ground discrimination should be ultra sharp and without this, the visual images are dull. There are also fuzzy edges to some of the imagery which make viewing less interesting as the eye tries to focus . Problems with finding the app regarding name, as I put in the name of the app I had downloaded and was described on my ipad as 'light box' but this could not be found on the app store search. This may deter future purchases. Good luck with any changes you can make, if this is possible, and do go on and make app number 2!
