Hue Halloween for Philips Hue

Worked last year. This year, using exact same devices, bridge, network and iOS 10.3.3, wouldn't connect to bridge -- automatically or manually. Reloaded several times. Just. Doesn't. Work. Disappointing.

I tried this out Halloween 2017 in a last minute attempt to decorate for trick-or-treaters. I had a speaker outside playing effects and turned off all non-Hue lights at our house (we have a lot of Hue lights). The sound effects times to the lights were super spooky. We could see as kids were approaching and played lots of the effects over the mood. It didn’t totally deter anyone, but it sure took them a long time to reach our door! ;-) Months later I’m still getting comments from parents about how great it was. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because it wasn’t totally intuitive and a couple times I had to restart it.

I bit the bullet and decided to try it even though it was rated low. I think all the bugs are fixed. Works great with my setup 2 hue bulbs and 1 bridge. Colour changes are instant. I like the triggering effects with background sounds.

It works well enough and does random light changes synced to music and effects. The only thing (which is a big thing for me) is that I wish you could group lights together in this app and play the scene across the groups so you could have one room flash red instead of each bulb doing its own thing. I have a few large pendants that have 4 hue bulbs each in them and it would be nice if you could treat each pendant as one light instead of having 4 different things going on in the light.

It's giving me an error , that it cannot be installed at this time. I paid $10 dollars for the bundle to work, I'm throwing a party and this apps is not ready?!

Fun for 5 minutes, then I regretted paying for the combo pack. Apps like this makes me wish Apple has the 15 minute return policy like the Google Store.

Nice app but being able to have more than one light react at a time would be great.

Looking forward to Halloween now with this app!

Good sound and nice lighting effects. Wish you could pick which effects to use on the loop feature just like you can pick which lights to use.

Only one light at a time reacts to the sound effects.
