The Zippo Lighter app is a free lighter simulator.
When it works (mine crashed repeatedly trying to open it for this review), you can open it by flicking your wrist and light it “with the turn of a thumb” -- just as you would a real Zippo. The flame looks quite realistic and responds to movement and attempts to blow it out. There are several lighter designs to choose from, and some are customizable.
This app really won’t keep you entertained for more than about a minute, but it has proven quite popular in the App Store because it does have than initial “wow, that’s cool” element about it. Loses points for not being much more than a heavily branded advertisement.
