Microphone needed

It’s a cheap trick to visualize music

Response from developer

The app uses the microphone on your device (phone/tablet) to listen to the music and create the effects, which allows it to work with all audio sources. For more advanced features, you can turn on Detect Frequencies on the Settings screen under Music Visualizer. For each frequency range (Bass, Mid, Treble), you can change the FX Targets, Transition FX, and Theme. Create your own themes on the Themes tab. Please contact support@soundstorm.scottdodson.dev if you have any questions.

Works well

Works great. Would recommend.

Works good

It’s a good app, sometimes you need to reopen the app but that could just be my phone

Response from developer

The app sends commands to your lights in order to create the effects. Your phone will need to be on but you can put the app in the background. Please contact me at support@soundstorm.scottdodson.dev if you have any questions. Thanks!

Real shame

I would love to say that this is much better it has the potential to be the best music app but unfortunately it's way too sensetive and makes your lights blink like mad when you aren't playing a song.
Either through your phone or your echo I have the same problem.
If improvements were made it'd be much better.
Also the settings are a little confusing they need simplifying.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. Please try adjusting the Volume Trigger under Settings to prevent background noise from interfering. After starting the Music Visualizer, and without any music playing, move the slider handle to the right just far enough so that the effects do not trigger. Please contact support@soundstorm.scottdodson.io for help.

My favorite of All!

Detect Frequencies feature is genius !

I hope to see in future versions more option to choose from for Transition FX!

Although there is a buck when creating a custom theme, it is impossible to return to the settings for frequencies for the music visualizer. I have to delete the app and install new every time this happens.

The latest release (1.2.5) fixed the User Themes bug. Please contact me at support@soundstorm.scottdodson.io if you have any questions. Thanks!

Save your money

I purchased this app for the music syncing feature. The lights should change to match the music from my phone. With this app:
1 cannot have the music play from a connected BT speaker, only from the phone speaker
2 when this mode is activated, the speaker on the phone drops to a barely audible level.

Wish I could give it zero stars. Won't waste my money on any apps by these people again

Response from developer

The latest release (1.1.1) fixed these issues. Please contact me at support@soundstorm.scottdodson.io if you have any questions. I hope you'll consider updating your rating and review. Thank you.

Good buy!

One of my favorite apps for cycling through colors. Sleep timer is useful although the strobe flashes when it goes to sleep is odd.

The music visualizer wasn't my favorite - I haven't gotten the settings just right yet I suppose...still playing with it but having fun
