awesome app! best of it's kind
jaybird2017
this app is worth every penny. it's more accurate than any other app out there as far as reproducing the main colors on the tv. it's really well-developed and absolutely effective. I adjusted my settings, propped my phone up, zoomed in on my tv, and the results were impressive. until they develop a smart tv app that will communicate directly with hue lights... this is your best option for enjoying hue lights syncing with whats on your tv.
Better than Hue Camera

The fact that you can resize the area to be captured made a whole difference!
Does exactly what I dreamed of.

This app transforms your hue powered room into an immersive experience. The app works as advertised with a clean user interface. Last night I propped my phone up on my coffee table cropping the yellow bound box to focus on my tv. I then started to watch BBCs Planet Earth and selected three lights. My entire house reflected the energy of the screen. As predicted, I have a slight delay, maybe half a second, but it is understandable. Use this app with certain movies, and sports, that may not change scenes so often. Totally worth it and effective. Thanks for developing.
Nice early version

I really appreciate the ability to crop the TV screen within the cameras view. Surprised similar apps haven't done this. Need some info on initial setup and finding hubs. Can't wait to see what updates bring.
The best option

While it's not perfect this is a way better option than the other app out there that I wasted my money on. Plus this one actually let's you focus and gets updates. This is a far better option. Does what it says it'll do but do expect a little latency.
Just OK

Everything works fine, except that it can't focus very well on the image. I can't figure why. The camera focus works just fine using the camera app of the system itself. My device is iPad mini 2. Could you please check it out?
Sweet!

Works great. Music videos like Hotline Bling work awesome. Live music Concerts are awesome too. Like it a lot.
Love it but needs updates for ios10

Love all but would love to see ability to tag lights and if on left or right side of tv. Also need more options for the camera since colors wash out when in a dark room with only a few lights on. Besides those points. Not a bad app!
