Best Hue light show!

I’ve tested many light show apps; this is the best.
I’d give it 5 stars if I could view more color presets in a title-free grid.

Partttttty Time!

I really love this app and how awesome it makes my Hue lights sync to hot jamz. My only gripe is that it doesn’t seem to function super well if the app is isn’t currently open on your phone. If the developers made it easier to passively sync and made “standard” mode look better than a baseline Philips scene, then I would gladly grant it 5 starts.

5 star execution!!

First off, hats off to the developer. I have had zero issues with the app—it works flawlessly every time! I would love to see the utilization of the Hue Entertainment API v2 for gradient lightstrips, allowing them to display multiple colors across the strip at once. I luckily have multiple lights so it’s not a huge issue for me, but I think users working with just a lightstrip would get so much more value out of this app. Keep up the amazing work

so worth

after testing out for the 20 free min period i just had to give props to the guy for developing this app. Sm better than the built in feature on the philips hue app. I honestly dont know if i even need this option that often but i think $30 is totally worth it just for the dev’s effort and idea. THANK YOU

Magnifique !

Je suis impressionné par cette application ! Je possède presque 30 ampoules Philips HUE relié à un pont, cette app développé par Nicolas est fantastique! Philips limite à 16 ampoules par pont pour le contrôle (je pourrais racheter un second pont pour contrôler le reste) mais avec 16 c’est dingue ! Les drops flash, et le reste, je redécouvre mes Philips hue grâce à Nicolas ! Alors merci ! Quel plaisir d’écouter ma musique la nuit avec l’application pour les effets lumineux! 😍
