Sync My Lights For Philips Hue

Thanks to the lighting community for the effort required to do these...

This was by far my absolute favorite third party app for my Philips Hue bulbs. The time people spent on creating these for movies must have been insane. However, after almost a year without being able to use my lights, I set them up & tried to play a movie but nothing works. The Twitter account for the app has been suspended also. Is there still support for this app / should it still function?? Please my kids loved this with Disney movies!

We need updates to the library. This app is fantastic except it hasn’t updated in at least a year. I paid my subscription fee and never got new movies or shows loaded. I’m frustrated with it for this reason.

I tried to use this for Age of Ultron on Disney+ and unfortunately they don’t sync based on time and it’s very frustrating trying to pause them and sync.

1. App won’t sync with bridge. 2. Support directs you to their twitter account — which has been suspended for violating Twitters TOS. No other means to reach them is provided. 3. FAQ states movies in the global list are free without subscription, except if you select any of them, they require a subscription. 4. Very sketchy is the best review I can give — but that’s pretty generous. This outfit appears to be running a scam.

it crashes when i open it

This app has not been updated in couple of years. I tried to open it and renewed my subscription. It wil not change lights along with the light script.

Crashes every time I try to open.

One of new newer hue bulbs, or a hue firmware update has caused this app to stop working. It crashes upon connecting to my Hue bridge. If I disable WiFi, or re-instal the app it will launch fine, but as soon as it re-authenticates with the bridge, it crashes.

FOLLOW-UP (08.20.19): Still no update in 10 months and now the app doesn't even work at all with my Hue system. No lights, nothing. At this point it's basically a scam. I'll be requesting a refund. ------------- FOLLOW-UP (04.24.19): Not a single update in over 6 months to fix any of the issues that hinder this app's use. Library still annoyingly small. This was a cool idea for an app, but when the devs appear to have given up on it, it's time to move on. Don't give this app your money. It just isn't worth it, unfortunately. ------------- Love the idea, and when it works, the effect is incredibly cool. But there are several shortcomings that I’m afraid negates any positive traits the app has. First of all, there’s the “player.” Scrolling through a tiny bar on the bottom of the app is next to impossible to use to navigate to your desired time. When you inevitably miss the mark, you then have to click the plus or minus signs to add or subtract time, one second at a time. You can’t even hold down one of those buttons to rapidly scrub through time! And I would think the most convenient feature to implement would be the ability to manually type in the time code you wish to jump to. Speaking of scrubbing, there are zero scrubbing options for how quickly your thumb moves through the timeline, which would certainly help with accuracy. Finally, there’s the actual selection. Woof. It’s pretty abysmal, all things considered. But it would probably be in MUCH better shape if there were ways to sign into a profile and begin adding your own projects other than through signing up using Twitter. Huh?? How does that make any sense?! This app could truly have been great, but as it is, it’s not worth the asking price. Pass.
