User reviews

The app i’ve been looking for

I’m impressed! It found my Hue bridge right away, and has loads of built-in ‘scenes’ to stream to the lights. I like the ‘thunderstorm’ scene that simulates lightning with bright flashes. Overall the app feels intuitive and professional.
There is a DJ function that lets you program the way your lights flash - you can set the BPM to synchronize the lights to music. There is a ‘knob’ that lets you choose whether lights blink fast or slow, and it reminds me of a synthesizer (sine wave vs triangle or sawtooth).
My only request for future development would be to let us create our own scenes and save them.
