Finger Tingle FREE app review: use your iPhone’s vibration feature to transform it into a massage device

Introduction

Making an interesting addition to the Health & Fitness category of the App Store is this simple little app which transforms your iPhone into a vibrating massage implement with three different intensity settings to ensure you get exactly the level of stimulation you require.

I’m going to try my darndest to make sure I don’t make any immature comments while reviewing this app, so buzz off and stop waiting for me to slip up!

Okay, so I might let a few puns slip in here and there, but what would one of my reviews be without a couple of corny one-liners thrown in for good measure!

What's All the Buzz About?

Finger Tingle FREE features an incredibly simplistic user-interface which has just three buttons set atop a background image of a rather feisty-looking lady who looks like she might be experiencing some finger tingles herself.

The three buttons represent the three intensity settings for the vibration function, covering Lite, Strong, and what the developer has termed Magical. That’s certainly quite a bold claim so let’s see just how well Finger Tingle FREE delivers on such a promise.

The Lite setting is basically an oscillating pulse which, just like the other two settings, runs for 30 seconds or until you hit the Stop button. You can also lock the screen while the vibrations are activated to prevent yourself from accidentally hitting said Stop button.

The Strong setting is essentially a beefed up version of Lite, with the pulses coming at a much more rapid rate. The Magical setting seems to be somewhat more sporadic, starting off slowly and then jumping into a frenzy of pulsing and buzzing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Use your iPhone’s vibration feature to transform it into a massage device
• Three different intensity settings to ensure you get exactly the level of stimulation you require
• Supports background operation to prevent you from hitting the Stop button while the vibration is activated

Cons

• While this is a good idea for an app, I think the iPhone simply lacks an adequately powerful vibration function to provide a sufficient level of intensity for a decent massage

Final Words

I personally wouldn’t look at Finger Tingle FREE as being a legitimate or serious massage device because the iPhone just doesn’t have a vibrator which is robust enough to deliver enough intensity.

Having said that, if you’ve ended up reading this review you’re probably going to download the app anyway, so I say go for it! Don’t expect miracles from Finger Tingle FREE, but I’m sure you’ll have a few moments of fun with it at the very least.
