It does what you want it to do without any hassle. Thank you to the developer. I personally used this while I was kayaking on the Hudson at night. I set this to blink at a specific frequency so I have a light on my kayak for other boats to see. Very little battery usage. It gives you the option to choose the rate of flash with frequency or flash per minute (FPM). It also let's you choose how long of a pause in between flashes you want and how long you want each flash to be.
Very nice app. Excellent battery saver if need "flashlight". I use the STROBE function and set the rate (top slider) to about 6Hz, and the Duty Cycle (bottom slider) to the extreme right, and then turn off the display and I have a VERY battery-saving flashlight that strobes at 6Hz with a short but bright LED pulse. This also helps keep the LED from overheating. It runs MUCH cooler than a standard "always on" LED flashlight mode, and takes a LOT less power to light things up enough to walk around safely in a totally dark room.
During the strobe, the frequency of the blinking is not displayed. On the display with the adjustments, there are a half dozen virtual sliders and buttons, but they are not labeled. Lack of labeling makes using the app overly complicated. However, if you just want some blinking, this app will accomplish that. It really doesn't like to strobe 40 Hz. It will do a solid 39 or 41, your phone may vary.
`Does what it says. Adjustable frequency and duration of flashes. Being run by software on a phone using touch friendly sliders to adjust settings, it can be hard to get it perfect, and the timing consistency is not perfectly stable but it's fair enough to have some fun - this is likely a hardware limitation, no fault of the developer, but it seems to be less consistent than a "real" strobe light e.g. cannot get a spinning fan perfectly dialed in to appear stationary. Much better than expected.`,Lyft, Uber & other ride share companies have some sort of light helps passengers identify them so there's no confusion when trying to find your ride. Since I've been using this app, I've not missed a single rideshare driver. I just tell em look 4 the strobe light! This, in turn, saves everyone money. It's not rocket science.k"
