It would be so much better if the flame was realistic and would flicker to the music like a real flame. To all the young uns out there, the whole idea of the lighter at a concert is about a communal flame. It is about paying respect to the band and becoming one with the music. If you can’t have real fire it should at least act like a real flame. real fire will move to the music and is part of the experience

The iLightr app is a lot nicer and more realistic than this one, it is not free however.

No complaints on the 18 year-old requirement that you must agree to every time you start the app?

I don’t recognize that phone in the ad. What’s it suppose to be? The next Apple iPhone?
Cool that the flame tips with the phone. You can make your stoner buddies trip out on that one.

This app has been out for at least a year. It used to be a Zippo lighter with a freaking long splash screen. Then Bic bought the app from the dev and changed it to a Bic lighter. I refuse to update on those grounds. I’d rather have a Zippo then a Bic any day of the week.

@craig: I don’t smoke. I don’t carry a lighter.

This is crap, I downloaded it months ago and it’s a big slow piece of crap.

Yes the flame tilts, but in a jerky cheapass way that seems to be a changing to 1 of three angled animated gifs. Bleh.

Apps like this could be lightning fast but Bic chose for a cheap development company that could produce this thing within 2 hours.

When are you guys going to fill in the content in the apps tab. How about some reviews, or maybe a top 10 list.

I had this app months ago – it’s not new :P

Still quite cool though, especially the way the flame tilts with the phone

This is truly a milestone for the Android market.

It’s only a matter of time now before we catch up with iPhone’s App store in number of useless apps.

By the way, can anyone recommend some good fart noise apps?

Am I the only person who is offended by people who use their cell phones for this stuff?

I think that the cell phone should never replace the lighter.

There is an empty Apps tab on the website for stuff like this. It would be great to be able to list all these reviews in there.
