AMBEE for Philips Hue Lights

First of all - thank you for providing some credits and ability to preview scenery! It is a well thought of you! However I would like to see scenery sorted by meaningful values, like “color scheme”, scene “speed”, color, does it have “audio” or not. For example I would like to have scenes with low brightness, fast change of colors and red/yellow/orange gamma. It’s only possible to look all of the scenes one by one to see if it suits me well. Please do the “casual” list of scenes, with normal filters/sorting. It’s hard to understand what’s “romantic” and what’s “winter” :)

I have only one Hue for now, but I'm definitely going to buy more soon, and I want to use this app with more light bulbs. This app is fast and connects to Hue base easily. Thanks!

Tired of installing apps only to find out about hidden fees. Why waste my time?

Incredibly limited functionality - and also, do know, this is only a “scenes” app - does not allow you to actually control your lighting system. Stick with better options such as iConnectHue or even the Hue app. Pretty disappointed.

Could be a good app, if the app itself didn’t timeout after a while and wasn’t a considerable battery drain. I’ll notice after a few minutes the lights are no longer changing color, I bring the app up on my phone and it’s just frozen, have to shut it down and bring it back up. It’s laughable to have a subscription to an app that works for 5 minutes. Uninstalled. Update after dev response 3/9/23 I’m good, I uninstalled your app. I see now you’ve abandoned this project and only respond with “give me a detailed description” to make it seem like you care.

For the price of a $25 yearly subscription, I would expect to be able to customize the scenes to include more than just one room without having to apply it to all of the lights in the house. But from what I can see, that’s not an option. The response time is laggy and the interface isn’t very intuitive. Lots of potential here, but save your money for now.

**12/20/22: Tomas, stop replying to EVERY 1-star review asking for a more ‘detailed’ response and fix your app. You’ve only received bad reviews this past year, isn’t that enough ~details~??? Not as good as it once was. Now it’s even depleting my battery, in under an hour, to zero! I wake up every morning to a dead phone now. 0/0

This used to be a great app, despite a clunky interface. After a long “overhaul” period when the developer continuously assured everyone big changes were coming, the big change finally dropped, and boy was it a bomb. Now the interface looks great but the functionality is shot. Animations frequently stop completely when other apps are subsequently opened. In particular, Spotify wreaks havoc on Ambee and vice versa: merely opening Spotify causes animations to stop, and merely opening Ambee causes Spotify to pause. I haven’t even been able to pinpoint which apps, or whether it’s just a timeout, causes Ambee to stop working. Not only will it stop, but the app itself freezes up. I spent over $60 on animations prior to the overhaul and now it’s dead. RIP tho 🥺

When I tried the app I did not want to sign in and when I tried to use my regular light it didn’t work so I don’t want a accont I want it free

A formerly fun app with genuinely good light formulas, but a grab for subscriptions. A subscription to what? There have been no new light formulas for a very long time. I would know, I bought the in app credits for almost every design. That was over a year ago at least and there have been no new lighting designs. That was fine when you bought them a la carte. However since this redesign and move to subscription model, have not been able to restore my purchases. Buyer beware, you will subscribing to nothing new other than a fresh coat of paint in the UI. No thanks.
