Hi, I just downloaded this and like the simplicity of it. One question, though. When swiping through, I get a number announced, say 21, and it may change to 22 or 25 if I change the position of the camera. I’m guessing this is the light level announcement.
Swiping right, I get another number announced, always so far a “1” with an associated button, but nothing seems to happen when I double tap that button. What does this “1” indicate?

The sound pulses, instead of being continuous, so it doesn’t help to know if a light is blinking.

It is free! I copied the following from their web site. Boop Light Detector App Boop is an an app developed for iOS users (8.0 and above) to detect levels of light and interpret this information with sound. It allows its blind and visually impaired users to detect whether lights are on or off. It covers a broad range of light levels which span from sensing daylight through open windows to checking whether the indicator light is on for a wifi router. Boop does not require any additional hardware and has been tested on a variety of different phones (4s-6s) in addition to iPads. Download Boop on the Itunes store using this direct link<https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/boop-light-detector/id1134857212?ls=1&mt=8> or search for "Boop Light Detector" in the Itunes app. [Jonathan testing out Boop at Athack 2016] Features There are other light detectors on the app store, but we argue Boop is the best for the following reasons: * Boop is free * Boop provides a larger range of light detection by using more than simple pixel values from the camera. We also factor in the camera exposure and sensitivity levels, leading to a robust light detection that's insensitive to varying lighting conditions or high contrast and provides higher resolution than its competitors. * Boop is fast and responsive. Our app consists of one single screen and uses an asynchronous system to simultaneous track light levels and send quick, audible feedback. * Boop was developed with the accessibility voice over features in mind. We make use of the gestures and have the familiar magic touch (or two finger double tap) to exit the app. * Last, and possibly most importantly, we have a vibrate feature for using the app in quiet areas. Based on the frequency of vibrations, you can estimate light intensity and source location. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
