Difficult to use, no Airplay support

It took me a while to figure out how to use this app, especially when using the customisation options. Huge disappointment is that I can’t airplay the thunder storm audio from my phone

Thank you for the feedback. The app comes with 4 preset storms for ease of use but the advanced customization options on the Settings screen allow you to create the perfect storm for you. Please contact me at support@thunderstorm.scottdodson.io for help. UPDATE: The latest release (4.0.0) added AirPlay support via Control Center. Please contact me at support@thunderstorm.scottdodson.dev for help. Thanks!

Confused.

How do I connect to a bluetooth speaker?

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

Good but forgetful

Really good thunderstorm effects, best out there. Seems though each day I have to reauthenticate it to my hub though and re set settings.

Thanks for the rating and feedback! Your device may be low on memory. Please contact support@thunderstorm.scottdodson.io so we can troubleshoot. UPDATE: The latest release (4.0.0) added a backup storage method. Please contact me at support@thunderstorm.scottdodson.dev for help. Thanks!

Pretty awesome

I would prefer better sound quality, especially as I can stream this over my real speakers via airplay.
But it was delightful. I grew up with lots of thunderstorms but it's rare in SoCal, so being able to fall asleep to an artificial storm was really nice for a change.

Freaking Amazing!!

Awesome app!!! I don't normally write reviews but this one is worth it! Lots of customization possible, yet overall it's a super simple, easy to use app that's worth every penny!

Great app and support

Great app, by far the best thunderstorm app for Hue and i've tried just about all of them. Spend the few bucks you won't regret it for what you get & you already blew hundreds in the bulbs anyway. I actually contacted them for help and got an answer in about 10 minutes... impressive!

Great App!

Great App! The only thing it needs (and I'm talking to the developer), and maybe the most important, is the ability to stream via BT to my speakers instead of playing sound through the phone. Please make that possible. Thanks!!

Thank you for the rating! You do have the option to stream the audio via Bluetooth. Please refer to this support page for help setting this up: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204091.

Great App!

The level of customization is above my expectation. Although the price may seem steep, it is (in my opinion) worth the cost, especially when you consider the prices of other Phillips Hue related apps (most of which are of lower quality than this). If you are looking for a authentic rainstorm experience with your lights, this app is as quality as they come!

Great App!

Does exactly what the description says. I have not experienced a single hiccup with the iPhone 7 and the latest iOS update.

Not worth the price of admission

The app is insanely buggy, crashing at least once every 3 times i open it, if you try to adjust anything then the menu screen goes blank, if you remove a bulb from the ones you want to affect, it still affects that one, and many other small issues. The app is almost unusable.
