BLOWER POWER
For maximum blowing power, remove protective covers/casings that could block the air flow, use maximum audio volume, optimize with the built-in tuner, and ensure no dust has accumulated in your speaker opening. You can verify the cool air flow by holding the speaker opening close to your mouth. When blowing out candles, don't burn your device!

This app really does work, it makes your phone speaker blow air. I found it and I believe it to be a great addition to this website.

I think it's a joke

Hi. I think this app just makes a blowing sound and does not actually make your iOS device blow air. The iOS devices have no air pump and the speakers are not loud enough to make a big enough sound to move air. I don't have this app, but am just guessing. What do people who have the app think?

I use that app

It is not a substantial amount of air, but it is more than what you would think. You can blow out a candle with it. So yes it does work.

It does not work

Hi. So, I bought this app, removed my iPhone from its case and turned this app on. I got 100 percent noise and 0 percent blowing or moving air. I was correct. It's just a noise maker, not an air blower. I even held the phone up to my face and in my mouth like the instructions said and felt no moving air.

Might try this app if it was free

yeah, so, joke or not, I'm not paying for an app that 1, makes noise like blowing air. 2, actually pumps the speaker in such a way that a little bit of air comes out of your speaker openning. What would I do with it?
Thanks for the review though. :)

regarding app¬

I don't see why such an app could be invented. Is there a way to ask apple to remove a useless app such as this one? This I believe is probably in violation of apple's dos and don'ts in regard to what you can and cannot do when programing an app.

Gag Gift?

Perhaps this app could be given to someone as a gag gift. After all Christmas is almost upon us, for those of us who celebrate it. I'm curious whether this app will ever be available on the Mac. I have not yet visited the website or their YouTube channel, but I suppose it would be rather interesting to use the app as one of those hand dryers like they have in a lot of public bathrooms. I suppose the air would come out where it does for the fan on a Mac.

This app is totally inaccessible; the accessibility rating should updated accordingly.
The accessibility comments should also be updated as follows: "There are three elements in the middle of the screen. The leftmost one lets you power on and off the so-called virtual fan, the one in the middle lets you share the app, and the one on the right lets you view a demonstration. The fan covers the bottom half of the screen and you can actually touch it with your finger while it's rotating to slow it down, or spin it yourself when it is stopped, all without losing your finger. More info on the virtual fan below.".
I hope you don't assume your iPhone has an actual microfan. This app just makes noise to push air molecules, which is how sound waves propagate, and makes you feel as if your speaker actually blows air. It is still wrong to assert that you get no air but noise out of the speaker though.
