User reviews

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

Response from developer

Hey, thanks for the review! I'm currently working on gradient light strips for an upcoming version 🙂 Feel free to reach out if you have suggestions for those effects or if you're interested in getting access to early beta versions!

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! 😍

Amazing Light App

So many options and what this app can do, it’s really awesome . Thank you I Light Show for taking music even further greater than what it already is !

Garbage

App is definitely spotty works great sometimes and others disconnects while listening to music it’s frustrating. This was initial review fast forward a week later it disconnected from my bridge and will not reconnect also will not let me sign back into my purchased app no help from customer service either
