Allerdings funktionieren Sie nicht mehr mit der Hue Bridge Pro. Die Bridge wird zwar gefunden und man wird aufgefordert den Pairing Button zu drücken, jedoch passiert danach dann nichts weiter. Habe das mit zwei Apps des Entwicklers nachstellen können ### 2/5 — AirPlay 2 Still Broken *2022-10-29* Great timing to realize that the AirPlay 2 functionality that worked perfectly fine the last couple of years no longer works in this version that apparently was supposed to fix it. At least if you are on iOS 16. Terrible timing. Great app when AirPlay 2 works but the creep vibe to the party just died with the ability to only have sound coming from one device. Five stars when fixed. ### 4/5 — Très bien mais manque une fonction cruciale *2022-03-14* Les effets, le son tout est parfait. Manque simplement quelque chose de crucial : une intégration complète avec Alexa afin de configurer des routines et autres scénarios. Sans cette intégration, il faut tout activer manuellement ce qui n'est pas du tout pratique. ### 3/5 — Airplay 2 Still Broken *2021-10-31, version 1.8* love the app, but it only lets you airplay to one speaker. ### 5/5 — awesome app *2020-10-07* awesome apps I love it you bring the hue light to a hole new level I look foward to more new apps like these one ### 2/5 — Not worth the money. *2019-11-12, version 1.6* The Huewolleen app is much better. ### 5/5 — GREAT App!! *2019-10-31* This has to be one of the best things I have bought for Hallowe’en! The app is very customizable, it has loads of different scenes, and it truly is creepy! My 17 year old got a little freaked at how authentic it sounded, and how well the Hue lights synced with the audio! Good work!!! Highly recommended!!! ### 5/5 — Une tuerie!! *2019-10-26* Ambiance sonore mêlée à des effets visuels vraiment flippants. Hue montre toute sa puissance! J’ai longtemps hésité à l’acheter et ben aucun regrets 👍🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Amazing atmosphere *2019-10-19* This app delivered more than I expected! Great sound effects, perfectly matching light effects. With a few hue lamps and a Sonos sound system connected through airplay, I don’t feel safe in my own home ;) It would be awesome to select which lights should change in color and which should only change brightness to create an even better atmosphere, but the app already deserves 5 stars as it is. Thanks ### 3/5 — Great app but needs options *2019-10-17* The app is great but would love to have the option to loop several different scenes otherwise the it is the same colors and sounds the whole time Hopefully you can add this option Thangs for the great work **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. Good point on looping through scenes. We’ll try to build that. ### 5/5 — Best one in the collection! *2019-09-21, version 1.6* It’s easy to pick lights. Lights flicker and flash with noise. This is a great addition to my home automation! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Läuft nicht mit der neuen Hue Bridge *2026-08-10* Ich habe die App geliebt leider läuft diese nicht mit den neuen Hue Bridge bringt endlich ein Update raus!!!! ### 1/5 — Not for Hue Pro *2025-12-02* Does not work with Hue Pro ### 1/5 — Won’t connect to Hue Bridge+ *2025-10-29, version 1.8* It sees my Hue Bridge+ and instructed me to push the button, but when I do, nothing happens - it just continues to spin and then times out. The bridge works fine because it connects nicely to other apps. ### 1/5 — Hue haunted house *2025-04-09* How do i change the internet settings from my old internet connection ### 1/5 — Impossible de connecter le pont Hue *2024-09-21* Tout est dans le titre! Appli inutilisable ### 1/5 — Basic and boring *2023-10-16, version 1.8* Spend your money on one of the much better apps. ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2021-11-01, version 1.8* Will not connect to my hue bridge. Search finds it but just spins when tryi mg to connect. Even when trying to connect manually. Pushed the button. Nothing ### 1/5 — Joke *2021-10-09* Didn't work with iOS 14 and is even worse on 15. Would be cool if it actually worked, but only 24 of our 56 Hue bulbs light up. Our other Hue app's, while maybe not the greatest, at least manage to illuminate all of our bulbs. Submitted request to be refunded by Apple for defective app. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Unusable app *2019-12-29* This app crashes during Connecting to stored IP, please fix! or remove this app in the app store. **Developer response:** We have fixed this. Please delete the app and reinstall from the App Store. Sorry for int inconvenience. ### 1/5 — Good app, but ... *2018-05-06* This app works as advertised and would be perfect for a Halloween party or other Halloween event. However, it is spooky how fast this thing eats battery life. Over the course of one day starting with a full charge, this app drained 55% of my battery life. I will have to uninstall it until the power issue gets resolved. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Update wäre wünschenswert *2026-01-31* Ein Update wäre toll damit die neue Bridge Pro unterstützt wird ### 5/5 — Schaurig Schöne Grusel Unterhaltung *2025-03-02* Echt top für das Geld und läuft einwandfrei, ein Muss für jede Halloween Party ### 5/5 — Bien mais *2022-10-28* Manque démarrage sur détection présence hue ### 5/5 — My wife loves it. *2022-09-24* With nine hue lamps, a light strip, and a Bluetooth speaker in the front of the house, we are dialed in for all seasons. First app review I’ve ever left, that’s how please I am with it. ### 5/5 — Very nice App *2022-01-06* Very nice App real fun for Halloween. For improvement it would be great to have the possibility to connect more than one bridge at the same time. Is there an update planned? ### 5/5 — I like it *2021-11-01* I’ve tried several different apps for Hue. This producer’s apps are easily the best overall. Easy to use. Very customizable. Fun. Wired great for Halloween. Some apps want more money for less choices and sometimes very complicated settings. This year I ran the app for the front of our home and put a Bluetooth speaker in the window. I don’t know about everyone else, but I liked it. I’ll be looking forward to trying their other apps. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2021-10-27, version 1.8* Don’t listen to the negative reviews, I just tried this for the outside lights & speakers…it works great! ### 5/5 — An absurdly fun tool *2021-10-12* I spent several hundred dollars a few years ago to buy Philips’ pricey hardware to enable the Hue system. And then for some unfathomable reason I hesitated to purchase this under $5 app. What a silly, silly decision! Hue Haunted House is a delightful little romp of an app. Purchase it on the iTunes Store, connect it to your Hue system by launching the app and then connecting it to the Hue Bridge by pressing the Bridge’s center button and it simply works (MAY work in Bridge-less Hue Bluetooth environments - I just don’t know). I was even able to connect it to my Sonos system with hardly any effort at all: two button presses on my iPhone. Believe me, if you can configure Hue to begin with, this won’t be hard. Hue Haunted House has massive customization capabilities. Want more frequent or louder witches, for instance? Just move the two sliders just for that one light/sound effect, one of ~8 effects for each of the ~12 pre-packaged groups. Simple, immensely fun, and worth every penny. The app is not perfect, of course. I wish it had seamless integration with Hue’s motion sensor so that it could burst lights and sounds when the victims, err children, come to my door. I would ask for individual bulb control or scene rotation. And I would definitely ask for more scenes that use traditional Halloween colors like orange, red, and brown. But don’t let these nits dissuade you: Philips Hue was never created because we *need* 16 million colors on our front porches. They were created for having fun. And Hue Haunted House delivers fun with a capital F! ### 5/5 — AMAZING!! *2021-09-17, version 1.8* Would love to see more scenes and gradient support :) ### 5/5 — COOLEST HALLOWEEN! *2020-10-31* This app will turn your house into a real haunted house. It’s effortless to make a haunted house with this app and your hue lights. I went out and got more hue bulbs because Hue is the easiest and most versatile color bulb system. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
