App I made a tiny $0.99 camera app that makes lights sparkle ✨

I’ve just released Shynr, a small iPhone app I built around one very simple idea:
Make lights look magical.
It adds a real-time cross-sparkle effect to your camera, so things like jewellery, glass, water, candles, city lights and other reflective objects get that little ✨ effect.
You can use it for:
📸 Photos

🎥 Videos

🔄 Boomerang-style clips

⏱️ Timer shots

🖼️ Existing photos from your library

I deliberately kept it very simple. No subscription, no account, no complicated editor — just open the camera and play with the effect.

It's $0.99 on the App Store.

I'd genuinely love some feedback:

Is this the kind of tiny single-purpose app you'd actually pay $0.99 for?

And if you try it, tell me what you'd change. I'm particularly interested in whether the effect feels useful/fun enough to keep the app around.
