Ok, missing a key option

I have two light’s in my living room that I would love to have on “beats” mode but changing colours together, instead of changing separately. For some reason, this isn’t an option? Seems like a wasted opportunity to me.
Otherwise, it’s a very fun app.

Rarely works

flaky most of the time, but looks pretty cool when it actually works

HueParty

For an app which is driven by colors and contrast, there does not seem to be much consideration made to the contrasting effect to white text witin a light background within the apps controls. On my iPhone X, some of feature controls appear locked, although the presets do work, they are not really strikingly executed.
QUESTION: is there a way to transition all Hue lights in the same group as well as within all groups through their spectral colors simultaneously such that all lights are sane color coordinated during their color trabsition?

Great App when it works

Tried the lite version first to control x2 Hue Lights and it worked great. Bought more Hue lights including a Light strip for my Decks area and purchased the full version so I could control more lights. First time it worked perfect with the beats preset and setting it to to run automatically at 120bpm. Now it don’t work at all. Even the sound activating doesn’t work. Can’t turn lights the on by activating only when you adjust colour do they come on but still the presets are not working. Maybe I’m doing something wrong. Great app when it works but waste of money when it don’t which now seems to be the case. When it does work 5 star but for now only 2 stars 🙁

This is Rubbish

Doesn’t work. Can’t connect. App poorly thought out.

Needs a much better interface for the $7 price tag

It seems to have a deep control set but after spending 10 minutes with it I couldn’t figure out how to do simple things like cycle through the color spectrum. If it were a free app and only offered the basic presets, then it has accomplished that well. However, it seems to want to allow the user to create any animated light sequence they can think of. If this feature worked well, then it would be well worth the $7. As it is, there is a lot of work needed.

App is unusable!!

I would really appreciate a refund for this garbage app. I downloaded and paid the $6.99 because without paying the $6.99 you can only control one bulb but that didn’t even work. Shame on me for believing the paid version would work better. I cannot connect the app to my bridge to control my lights. Even if I could connect to the lights the user interface is just garbage. Selecting options is very clumsy and while clicking around the app it must have asked to rate and review the app 20 times. Here is your review. Lucky for the developers their is no option for 0 stars. I’ve rarely felt this ripped off by an app purchase!!!

Fun, but poorly designed

When you work it out (which you shouldn’t have to do), it’s fun to play with. However the usability is pretty bad. One example is having to individually include lights each time you open the app. Another is that once you disable the lights the “reset lights” option doesn’t reset them to their previous setting. Another is that when the app is closed if you had used the “beats” mode, it still shows as a big red bar at the top of the phone because the microphone is still listening until you manually kill the app.

Thought there would be more options

You can’t have presets know what lights to activate
Presets don’t remember what settings to stay on after closing the app
You can’t have different rooms on different presets at the same time
No Alexa integration
I wasted my money.....unless they step their game up

Keeps disconnecting Bluetooth !!

I have never wrote a review for an app until today ! This app has the potential to be useful unfortunately it fails because it keeps disconnecting my phone from Bluetooth speaker and I can’t leave the app or the lights will stop! An app like this needs to work in the background so I can change music! Also if you force close the app the lights will keep going on and off.. Frustrating to say the least. I hope they improve it
