Revised review
This was a 5 star app at one point. I got it because it worked with Hue and Lightify flawlessly. I continued to expanded my setup extensively using hue and Lightify, then one day Lightify would not work with it at all. No response from developer and then all of a sudden they completely removed Lightify support. It does however control my Avea Bluetooth bulb, I wonder how long it will be before they remove the support for that. Update: now it will no longer control the lifx bulbs, no way to add them either.
Worthless
This used to be an amazing app but no longer will it connect to the Hue Bridge.
Pure garbage.
If you want seamless animations using a large selection of presets or create one of your own, this is your app. Simple,elegant. Gorgeous color variations to just zone out or set to your favorite party mix. Animations run after your phone has gone to sleep.
Doesn’t work with LIFX
No way to add LIFX bulbs. Waste of money :(
Piss poor support , will not work with SYLVANIA Smart Bulbs
For some reason, I found this out by checking the revision history, they have dropped the ability to use the app with SYLVANIA smart bulbs. As I have all SYLVANIA bulbs the app is now useless for me and I had to pay to get it!!!
Best Hue App
I’ve been using this app for years, and still no other app has come close to the functionality this one provides. It’s by far the most featured app for having lights display multiple colors in varying methods. It’s a must for party background lighting
Music library shows songs but won’t play any
I just purchased the app and I’m trying to use the visualizer and I can see my music library but I’m unable to play any of the songs. The apps ui is clean and straight forward and very easy to use and setup. Except being unable to get my music library to work pretty great first impression.
Apple Music doesn’t work, finds 9 lights but only controls 3
I’m pretty sure the two reviews here are fake, first off it says it found nine hue lights however there’s absolutely no way to configure any of these lights and for whatever reason it only controls two of the lights and my light strips, the rest don’t seem to do anything through this app. Secondly it didn’t automatically find my bridge or a friend of mine’s bridge; I figured my Internet connection might be a little weird due to our network set up so I tried his which has his hub plugged directly into the router. Unfortunately the only way to set it up was to manually enter my bridge IP address. Apple Music integration finds all of my music but it’s all grey’ed out, doesn’t work. Unfortunately because they didn’t add a microphone option you can’t even use the music visualization feature. How terrible can you be where you force people to use one music option (Apple Music) which is integrated directly into your app (and broken) instead of having something like a mic option to listen to music in the room instead. There’s absolutely no way to configure which lights that this app uses that I found, the interface is terribly stupid and simple, all together it seems like a half-baked app that still in beta testing and never gets updated.
Stopes working with os8
Works fine for me and my 99 lamps,and its all free!
Amazing
Works Great but should have the ability to use other music apps other than your apple library should have Spotify and Pandora for example
