<p>Looks like it is senses the light. I know here is some discussion of ambient light sensor:   <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6408840/about-ambient-light-sensor-in-iphone">About Ambient Light sensor in iphone</a></p>

<p>but not sure if this app uses this sensor, does anyone know better about this?</p>
