Fire Fingers: Draw With Flames on iPhone & iPad

Fire Fingers — Draw With Lifelike Flames on iPhone & iPad

Make your fingertips a fire-breathing pen. Drag one or more fingers across the screen and Fire Fingers leaves glowing trails of simulated flame behind them, so you can sketch shapes, scribble words, or just watch the fire spread. It is free for iPhone and iPad, and it is every bit as pointless as it sounds — yet oddly hard to put down.

What Fire Fingers Lets You Do

See a convincing fire simulation respond to every stroke.
Set as many as five fingers alight at once.
Move your fingers around the screen to steer the flames.
Save your flaming artwork or post it to Facebook.
Open the menu to choose different fire colours and more.
Lose a few minutes to hypnotic flames — perfect for toasting imaginary marshmallows (they will not melt; the fire is not real).
Stay warm in winter (it will not actually keep you warm in winter).

By popular demand, the old fast-burn-to-slow-burn progression has been removed. Fire Fingers now always leaves burning trails, so you no longer need to hold your finger down to keep the flames alive.

How Fire Fingers Works

Every fingertip becomes a fire-breathing pen. Drag one or more fingers across the screen and the app leaves a trail of simulated flames behind them, letting you draw shapes, write words, or simply watch the fire spread. From the menu you can switch between fire colours and adjust how the flames behave, then save your flaming creations or share them on Facebook when you are done.

It is a free, deliberately pointless app from UselessCreations.com — the kind of thing you open for a minute and keep coming back to.
