Fantastic effects! Wish I could connect it to Bluetooth speakers.

Hi there! Absolutely love this app and effects you created. I wish I could connect the sound to bluetooth speakers. Is this possible or something you’ll add?

Response from developer

On your device (iPhone/iPad), go to Settings > Bluetooth > My Devices and select your Bluetooth speaker. Please contact me at support@thunderstorm.scottdodson.dev if you have any questions. Thanks!

Nice!!!

I love the app. Works great but how do I get the sounds to play on one of my google home speakers instead of my phone?

Response from developer

Glad to hear you love the app! You can play the audio on your Google Home speaker via Bluetooth: https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/9281916?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DiOS. Please contact support@thunderstorm.scottdodson.dev for help. Thanks!

Click on bridge

Every time I am back home I have to click the button on hue bridge. Can this not be permanent?

Thanks

Response from developer

The Hue Bridge IP address might be changing on your network. Try logging into your router and reserving the DHCP address of your Hue Bridge. Please contact me at support@thunderstorm.scottdodson.dev for help.

Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening

Really impressed with this app. It synced easily with hue and is so customisable you can tweak everything to just how you want your storm.

Extremely relaxing to fall asleep to once setup correctly.

Eh...

Would be nice if the thunder and lightning were synced. They seem to happen without each other

Response from developer

Please make sure Delay Thunder is toggled off under Settings. If you're using wireless audio (Bluetooth/AirPlay), adjust the Delay Lightning setting to compensate for the wireless audio delay. You can adjust this setting even if you're not using wireless audio if you detect a delay. Please contact me at support@thunderstorm.scottdodson.dev for help.

Great App

This is a great app, especially for Halloween. The developer, Scott Dixon, is very responsive.

Nice sounds but would love them on my echo

I love the light show and the sounds are good but I’d love to be able to sync them to my echo.

Absolutely Fantastic!

Great app that does everything I could ask for! It has AirPlay support, it can multitask, and the thunder comes _after_ the lightning! The storm and thunder audio sound completely perfect on my speakers! Works with my old 1st gen hue base station too! Thanks for your awesome work on this!

It's good but....

The app is decent but can you guys add the option to airplay the sound to homepod. That would be a 5 start for me. Thanks.

Response from developer

The latest release (4.0.0) added AirPlay support via Control Center. Please contact me at support@thunderstorm.scottdodson.dev for help. Thanks!

Drop down menu selections....

Can’t select and customize the settings with the drop down menus, menu remains open and can’t select

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. The latest update (3.2.2) fixed this issue. Please contact support@thunderstorm.scottdodson.io if you're still not able to use the menus.
