Selfies in the dark

Take selfies in the dark with the front camera. Front Flash turns the screen white at full brightness while it takes the picture, like a flash.

It was my first iPhone app, released on November 17, 2013. In March 2014, Apple featured it when the App Store got a new section for selfie apps, as Engadget and Cult of Mac reported. See its App Store page from back then.

It was free at first, and later $2. It had about 40,000 downloads, and it earned around $10,000. Its App Store page had almost a million views.

In 2015, Apple sherlocked it: the iPhone 6s got Retina Flash, which lights up the screen for selfies with the built-in Camera app. The app was removed from the App Store on May 25, 2018.
