Not quite there. – iLightShow for Philips Hue Review

First off, the kids love this app. I'm a fan too, but my adult brain sees some issues. First, the IAP setup makes it impossible to properly evaluate the app before purchase. I don't mind paying $5 for the app to support the developer, but it needs some polish... I use the Mac app too so I have some expectations. Second, the lights just seem to slowly pulse. There isn't any real flash to it. I'm playing a very fast paced electronica song with heavy bass and highs with flash enabled and it's just kind of going through the rotation. No real VU synthesis. Third, my best speakers are hooked up to my TV so it would make sense to have an AppleTV app baked in. Fourth, how much work is done by the mic vs data pulled from the Spotify stream? I don't know, but some kind of visual confirmation (besides "energy") would be useful. I love that the dev reads and responds to reviews so hopefully they take my constructive criticism to heart.
