Lightning after thunder???
lostonroute66
Bought the Thunderstorm add-on and immediately noticed it has the lightning appear AFTER you hear the thunder. It’s so unnatural and distracting. There’s no way to contact the developer so hopefully they see this. Unless the lightning strikes dangerously close to you, you’ll always see lightning a few seconds (depending on the distance) before hearing the thunder.
Wish I’d bought this sooner!

The thunderstorm effect is my favorite! It’s very easy to program. I only have the basic philips hue lights (not the color changing bulbs), so my use on this app is very limited. Still, I like the sunrise feature, the fire effect, and the thunderstorm app. It does look strange to neighbors though, who will see flashing lights through your window! My only hiccup with the app is that it doesn’t seem able to play audio through my Google Home, which I’d like for a truly immersive sound. Otherwise worth the money.
Excellent App

Really appreciate the attention to detail. Also happen to think it’s the nicest looking control app on the Apple Watch. Just wish there was a complication available for quicker access
Crazy Waste of Time
R so low and unhappy
In a effort to find the right app this App got installed and immediately when we try to see a scene like fire we are slammed with an up charge/ “in app purchase”. Marketing’s 101 don’t say no to the customer before they get a chance to try sample of experience the product. It seemed like it might be interesting until we could not try it. On to the next offering WE HUE...found it and it is awesome, check it out too. Post Response Reply: Though I appreciate the long comprehensive response covering all aspects of your app and features. The issue is we were not and cannot try the one feature we were looking for when we downloaded your app. I will take a look at the other features and give it a fair try. Thanks for your timely response.
It doesn’t work

I can’t get this app to connect to my Hue bridge. It finds the bridge, but won’t connect no matter what I do!
Flakey app - such potential!
TR64ever
I've been using this app for 5+ years, have bought add-ins and extra scenes. Love the color loop scenes - if only I could put my favorites on a separate menu so I wouldn't always have to dig for them. But the app is flakey: it can't always find or connect to the bridge. I've upgraded the Hue router (2x) and home router it's plugged into (2x). Reinstalling the app sometimes works. Several of the buttons or options on the bridge connect menu have never worked. I think the developer should start from scratch. I keep the Phillips Hue (factory default app) around - it ALWAYS works and is good for troubleshooting this app when if doesn't work.
Never updated

A new firmware for Hue was released and no further updates have been made so it no longer works with my lights. You also can’t contact the app designer because it goes to a blank page. Very bad app, do not download and DEFINITELY do not buy any upgrades!! I’d give it 0 stars if I could.
App does not work.

Every time I open the app I receive an error message stating connection to bridge is lost. Search or More. I hit more, manually type in my bridges IP address and nothing happens and the error message cycle continues. I will be trying to receive a refund.
Works as advertised!

Update: App now works as expected! Thanks! Could use some UI and UX updates, but satisfied with the way it works. Old review: Like others, the app will not connect to bridge. I did not sync with the bridge prior to this so that is not an option - it’s just an app that doesn’t do anything. Will update the rating once the app works. Very much looking forward to that so that I can use the app as advertised!
