Not working link bridge box
Ripped off
I don't often review but this is a con. You have to buy the effects within the app. Complete rip off. The effects that are in here are in the xmas app. Why make the affects locked when I have bought. Im not being a cheap skate, I feel genuinely ripped off here. Disappointed.
Doesn’t work with bulbs w/o bridges
My bulbs are Bluetooth / WiFi enabled. Bought this for my daughter. It won’t detect the bulb and I guess requires a bridge? Should have said that in the descriptions.
Response from developer
Unfortunately we cannot support the app without a bridge. You could easily add a bridge to your setup if you want. Your existing lights can be added to a bridge. A bridge offers al lot of advantages. All third party apps require a hue bridge opening up a lot of possibilities. Hope that helps.
Major Fail
App does not work as described.
The ball drop works if you do it right
With the upcoming new year I wanted to make sure this app worked since so many people on here have reviewed it saying it didn't. Well I can confirm they just didn't know what they were doing.
I tested this several times, first by using the preview button to make sure the app worked and then by actually changing my phones internal clock manually to 11:55pm dec 31 to test in “real time” the functionality.
First of all... YOU HAVE TO HAVE TO APP OPEN AND ON THE BALL DROP SCREEN. I mean i figure this is obvious but a lot of people are morons... if the app isn't open and on the balldrop screen it will not work. Clearly....
But of course unless you literally live on the east coast of the USA you will need to select “local time zone”. Unless you're a weirdo and want to celebrate the wrong time zone.
But lastly you MUST make sure to open the app at least 5 minutes before midnight... the animation begins at 2 minutes before midnight and if you open the app at 11:59pm on new years eve the animation will play a whole 1 minute off the countdown. In other words, it wont sync correctly. You opened it too late.
If I were you, I would make sure to test this by changing your device’s internal clock to make sure everything is functioning correctly before the big countdown... if your network is off or something else isn't quite right, it will be a major let down. Test it first... then make absolutely sure you open the app 5 or 10 minutes before the countdown and make sure your phone is charged and make sure your screen wont go to sleep... it must be on and actively open.
It will work, its just not idiot proof. For that i dock a star for this app not properly giving instructions... its clear people need it.

Great effects
Too many bad reviews that are bogus. Great effects for something that is a lightbulb. Those that didn’t like app didn’t know what they were doing. Developer keep up the good work.
Don’t waste your money
I bought all of their Hue apps and spent over $100
I have sent multiple emails and the will not respond
There are no instructions either in the app or on their website
Can not schedule the lights, get it to work without the app open and music playing or with several lights

Hi. We haven’t received your messages unfortunately. Please use the feedback option in the app to contact us. We will get back to you for sure!
Incredible app for hue!
I was scanning the App Store and saw this app had a low rating and was appalled! This is one of my favorite apps for my hue lights! This app does exactly what it says it does and it’s really cool when you do the 1000 crackers! Give this a try before you judge based on reviews. I have no idea why this has received only 2 stars!!

Sehr schlecht
Ein Feuerwerk zu programmieren ist bestimmt einfach. Lampe zum Geräusch an und wieder aus. Aber nicht mal das kann diese App. Lampe geht an und bleibt an. Was soll das ? Bleiben die Raketen am Himmel stehen ?
Not worth buying
You only get to use half of the app. Must pay more to get all the effects.
Ball Drop Song
This would have 5 stars, but the “Good News” by Ocean Park Stand-off is gone :(
Response from developer
Sorry. We had to. We only had a license agreement for 1 year.
Zu teuer
Die App ist das Geld nicht wert
Terrible
Save you're money, very disappointed.
Where did all my lights go?
After using the first time, no bulbs show up in the list - so no more fireworks. Lame. Waste of $$$&!
Excellent app! Only one issue
Great app. Installs easy, and easy to select effects.
Only issue I have is that I cannot de-select any of the moods for auto play. Otherwise, it’s perfect!

Volle 5 Sterne
Es sieht sehr realistisch aus. Allerdings braucht man dafür mehrere Lampen im Zimmer. Bei mir sind es 3 und dann sind die Lichteffekte wirklich sehr beeindruckend.
Auch die Abstimmung auf die Geräusche ist gut gelungen.
Das einzige was wirklich sehr nervt ist die fehlende Möglichkeit moods zu favorisieren. (Bug) denn so kommt es beim autoplay immer wieder dazu dass irgendeine kack Musik anstatt von Knall Geräuschen angespielt wird.
Auch wenn mich das sehr nervt ist die App zu gut um ihr weniger als 5 Sterne zu geben.

The App did not work
The countdown on New Years Eve ended before it was New Years Eve with without anything happening. Other 3rd party App's work much better. waist of money
Do Not Buy
This app is horrible does not sync with the ball drop at all it only let me preview the ball drop
Super. Macht Spaß
Funktioniert einwandfrei. Erkennt die Lampen alle sofort. Klar ist das eher Spielerei, aber es ist super gemacht und beeindruckt die Gäste, die Hue nicht kennen, schon sehr. Dazu läuft die App wirklich rund. Würde mich sehr über weitere App des Herstellers freuen 😜
Doesn't work, waste of money
Didn't work last night, waste of $2.
