Was working good

Was working fine for a few months but now it won’t connect with any of the LIFX lights they say there connected but you can’t turn them on or off and the presets aren’t working also I was kinda disappointed because I thought this app was going to let us make theme lights like the LIFIX app has when really all it lets you do is have colors cycling I’d like to be able to have multiple colors on one strip so until a fix is issued 3 stars
Great product

Honestly the best most flexible tool for creative use of these hue lights. This is hugely better than the hue app AND it integrates other items like Wemo into the mix. The biggest feature that I love is I can program transition time changes between lighting scenes. Keep supporting this app because this one is the best out there!!
Wow

If you need another app you crash your phone or not do what it says. Feel free to spend your money here. This company will be happy to take it with no regrets.
Awesome app

I own a lifx mini, a lifx (a19) bulb, and a lifx strip behind my mounted TV and this app works wonders with them. Gonna be my most used app now :) good job developers.. oh btw no setup which is awesome.. this app just found my lights automatically and was ready to use.. definitely recommend this app to the owners of smart bulbs especially if you want to set a mood..
Amazing but...

The app is great except really expensive if you want all the sounds. Wish we could do more with that but we love the app!
Great presets, but no way to limit presets to a subset of lights

First, the good. Lightbow has a lot of preset configuration and does a very good job animating the lights with music. The subscription is a little pricey, but it does come with a lot. The problem with Lightbow is it isn’t easy to run an animation on a single light, or even a single light group. When you start running any of the subscription presets, it runs them on all lights, or seems to pick lights at Random - not good if you have a lot of Hue lights. The only way that I’ve been able to do this, and even this isn’t 100% reliable, is to shut off all of the lights, except those that I want to control. I then start the preset and then I can turn on any other lights that I want to. The functionality that should be there is to be able to pick a light group, which should take you to a place where you can pick the preset, thereby limiting the effects to only that group.
No longer worth it

I loved this app and have been a subscriber for a few years. My main complaint is the animations default to one specific group of lights in my living room. If I try to run it on one light or a different group, like my bedroom, it doesn't work. This was not the case up until a few months ago. Additionally, there hasn't been any content added in months. I shouldn't have to pay this much for a broken app.
No response from Designer

One of the main reasons I got this app was because it was one of the few hue apps that work with Shortcuts. However, the Shortcut commands do not work for me. When i select them, they simply open the Lightbow app and then they end their routine at that point without activating scene. This is really frustrating for me since I would never have purchased the app in the first place had I realized this was going to be an issue. I wasn’t too put out since the developer offers a contact page within the app. I reached out to the developer about 3 weeks ago and have not received a response. I received an auto-response at the time of the message saying “I’ll respond when i have time” (paraphrased) I get that app designers are only a single person a lot of the time and often they have day jobs that prevent them from responding in a timely manner. But if you’re a developer who can’t actually address problems with your app due to time constraints, then in my honest opinion, your app is not finished. I spent good money on this app with no hope of ever receiving a refund and most likely communication. It’s frustrating and I want people to know about it before they spend hard earned money here.
Not really full version

I didn’t realize when I paid for this app that the light scenes are NOT included. They are an additional add on price per pack. Not worth the money I paid for it.
