The best thing is that you can use your display underneath the cracked screen layer and you can swipe and view or open any apps, and they work exactly fine without any lag.

Now, when you tap for the Fire Screen, you get 6 options Fire(Touch), Fire(Blow), Electric, Unlocker, Drink and Snake. The first three features are inbuilt in the app and for the other three, you need to download them separately.

On selecting the Fire(Touch), your display will burn up at the specific point where you make contact with your finger and this feature does not support multitouch.

The next feature, that is Fire(Blow). As the name suggests, it’ll blow fire from the bottom of your display. Once you select the button it will show how it works with animation. This specific feature makes use of your phone’s microphone, the more intense the sound of the blow is, the greater will be the flames. But the fire seems to work with any kind of sound.

The Electric gives a sparky animation to your home screen.

The image will then be displayed on the frame and as you tap on the display it will break.

The Bulb, it gives you a whole lot of bulbs, organized one after another. When you place your fingers upon these, they explode. This feature supports multi-touch and is very entertaining.

Another feature is the Balloons, they are also the same as the bulbs. The balloons are arranged all over the screen as well, and we can use our finger to blast them. The last one is a bubble wrap which also works the same.
