  1. [R8] Whip Simulator 5/5 · US Perfect: Worked faster
  2. [R10] Whip Simulator 1/5 · US Scream update when?: I need I need I need the scream update please, I want to whip and hear the screams of the innocents
  3. [R11] Whip Simulator 5/5 · US AMAZING: I can use it on my friends 🫰☺️
  4. [R18] Whip Simulator 5/5 · US I’d: Works very well
  5. [R2] Whip Simulator 5/5 · US Best whip: Da best ever
  6. [R58] Lighter Simulator Concert Mode 3/5 · US Do not know how to play: I cannot open the lighter
  7. [R59] Lighter Simulator Concert Mode 2/5 · US Better, But Not Best: Swipe to open lighter is unnatural, involving a right-left swipe that an older app did not require. Shake to close lighter is not sensitive enough and too stiff. Lighter activates flashlight is not necessary. Flame moves when you move the phone which is good but movement is is unnatural and stiff. Too many taps to get to lighter. App should open to previously selected li
  8. [R56] Lighter Simulator Concert Mode 1/5 · US Don’t work right.: Yeah it says to give mic permission to blow out the flame but it doesn’t work right at all. I use to have an app that simulates a lighter that would let you blow out the flame but now I guess it’s not available anymore.
  9. [R70] Lighter Simulator Concert Mode 2/5 · US Terrible flame, expensive subscription: The flame is very sluggish to respond to phone movements, and holding the phone sideways results in a sideway flame - huh..?? I think a one-time cost of $4 is already a stretch, but trying to charge that every month is utterly ridiculous given the sporadic value of this app.
  10. [R3] Whip Simulator 3/5 · US Commercials ugh: Fun to use but when the timing to use it passes cuz the commercials get in the way I’m tempted to find another app that lets me use it in perfect timing
  11. [R4] Whip Simulator 1/5 · US Deleted after 5 seconds: You pick one 2 min ad, pick another 2 min ad. Way too many ads.
  12. [R6] Whip Simulator 3/5 · US Get Picket Whip: Most mid game eve! Get the og Pocket Whip. WAY TO MANY ADS!!!!! Yesterday I went to go whip my friend and an ad popped up right as I was about to scold them for not picking up enough cotton!

  14. [R83] Lighter Simulator Concert Mode 5/5 · US It’s amazing: Has sound and I can make ur own lighter and it turns on your flashlight
  15. [R87] Lighter Simulator Concert Mode 5/5 · US Very good: Very fun! I love this app! It actually turns on your flashlight! You can flick your phone to the side to open it! But if you do not like this, it has settings! Change weather your flashlight turns on! “Blow to put out” too!
  16. [R94] Lighter Simulator Concert Mode 5/5 · US Funny surpris: At first I thought it was you just turn on the light is it turns out it really turns on your flashlight when you turn on
  17. [R96] Lighter Simulator Concert Mode 5/5 · US it’s cool: this app looked cool and also when you turn the lighter on it turns on your light on your iPad or phone and it’s a cool app
  18. [R55] Lighter Simulator Concert Mode 3/5 · US Expensive: This kind of thing was free for years! Not worth SAAS pricing.
