Will Not Connect
I’ve played around as much as my patience could survive. I have no doubt if you can get it set up to watch it would be a really nice effect. Does anyone know how to set up an iPad please please let us know.
Broken App, No response from support
I've waited a week to hear from support and gotten nothing. This app CRASHES on an iOS 9 iPad, though the developer claims it works under iOS 9. It also crashes in iOS 15.3 on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. So if it's a hardware issue, it's a VERY large compatibilitiy issue.
Further, the app, on those rare occasions it doesn't crash, it refuses to connect to Nanoleaf devices, and most of the time never finds them.
This app has NEVER worked for me as advertised, and the developer does not respond. DO NOT BUY.

Hue tv is not working anymore!
It used to work for a while and now the hue bridge doesn’t synchronize with the app. I paid for this app a doesn’t work.
Does an okay job!
I have Hue Sync Box on my main TV but use a Lifx strip on my smaller TV in the sunroom. For fun, I downloaded this this week because I miss my Hue Sync box when I spend spring and summers out in the sunroom. No problem connecting with my Lifx bulbs (didn’t try Hue yet). It works well - the lag is barely noticeable and you can adjust the brightness and intensity. The only issue I’m having is the camera/focus box at minimum size is still too big for my 32” TV. So I get some black upper/lower areas of a movie and even some of the backs of my wall. I don’t have anywhere closer to the TV to position my iPad, but for my limitations (32” TV corner mounted at the ceiling) and the price it does the job. It works better on my iPhone X than iPod Air 2.

Disappointing
Only works if you keep your camera pointed at your TV the entire time.
Best option for tv sync without “Hue Sync”
I’ve used this app for over a year now. It is a must for movie night.
Easy connection. I use my iPad at the camera for light syncing. I have used my phone when needed with no issues. You just have to have a good enough angle to see the whole picture without being a distraction for your viewing. I normally use a coffee table or back corner of the couch.
Needed update, being able to select where on the screen each light selects color from.
Love this app

Bull Crap
This app does not pick up my LIFX lights and I’m sure it won’t work for your either. Waste of money.
Won’t connect any more.
Was good but stopped working.
Hue now makes a product that makes this obsolete
Attention everybody! This app is now obsolete. Hue actually makes a product now called Hue sync box, which is a physical hdmi device, it is f’n amazing and everything this app is not.
My biggest gripes with the app was the lag time. Even if very little lag time, it’s disorienting. The lights must be truely in sync for it to be immersive and enjoyable. The lag time ruins the entire experience because the lights are always a scene or camera shot behind and most movies especially action movies switch the screen to a different camera very frequently. You also have to point the camera at the screen meaning u can’t use your phone while using the app

Cannot connect to my bridge
Someone please tell me how I can connect to my bridge????
Can’t use
I cannot get the app to connect to my bridge, with the IP address or by pressing the bridge button 😞
Hardly and Lag! Multiple settings!
I was very surprised how well this actually works! If you are not using your phone or have a secondary device, this app is amazing! There is basically no lag in transition from screen to lights. There is multiple settings that can allow you to manually adjust the syncing if you feel like it’s just not quit enough or is too much. This is one of the best sync hue apps out there!

Not working!
Not working recently!!! App does not trigger the camera at all! Please fix it!
Let’s think 🤔
Use a tripod and this app is genius👍
Garbage
Whoever came up with this is not all there. So I'm supposed to hold phone perfectly in the frame of the tv for the whole movie? How do I get my money back?
Good App for Movie Time
If you’ve got an old
iPad lying around, this can add some real ambiance with the LIFX Z or Hue Lightstrip.

Won’t sync
I paid for the app it won’t sync to my LIFX bulbs. It isn’t picking them up at all.
Zero Stars Don’t Buy!!!
You have to use your camera to steam live video feed to work the hue lights. Sad App = No Stars
App is terrible
This app basically makes your lights have seizures. Absolutely horrible. Almost as if it just cycles through the rainbow, has absolutely zero correlation with what’s playing on the TV... do NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!
Wife Approved!!
I set this up in my man cave for the Super Bowl. The wife came in and said “Wow! I love your TV light!”
This is the first tv sync app I have tried and decided to buy it based on the reviews.
It is very easy to setup. I mounted and old iPhone on the wall behind my couch. I flipped the camera around to use the front facing camera so I could see the screen for setup. I connected my hue lights and it started working right away.
The device can be either vertical or horizontal. You can define a “pinch” box to tell the app which part of the camera picture to analyze to drive the color lights.
You can configure 5 color modes, but the documentation is sparse on what they do. You’ll just have to experiment to find what works best with your setup.
Overall, this is a very cool way to get tv color synchronized with your smart color lighting.
