Bridge Pro support

Can you add support for Hue Bridge pro

So close to perfect!!

I’m hoping the developer sees this because their email was unreachable. It syncs with Apple Music and is really easy to set-up and navigate. Please add SoundCloud and YouTube support.

The track analysis can use some work but it’s crazy that this app still beats all the current apps on the market.

No Bridge Pro found

Cannot Review since it won’t find my Bridge Pro. Giving one star to increase attention level.

Doesn‘t work since Update to Hue Bridge Pro

The App unfortunately doesn‘t find the new Bridge Pro. Worked Fine before with the Bridge Version 2.1 - i loved it, please make it possible to use the new Bridge.

Unusable

Well, long time since the last update, so, something changed and now the App lists your bridge with a 0.0.0.0 IP address, and won’t connect.

Party übers Handy?

Ich verstehe diese App offensichtlich nicht. Aber sobald ich die Musik von einem Handy oder iPad auf externe Lautsprecher streame – was wohl der Normalfall sein dürfte, bei einer Party – funktioniert die automatische Lichtsteuerung nicht mehr. Soll ich also bei unserer Party das Handy in die Mitte legen und alle sind ganz leise? 🫣

Amazing!

Tried a ton of other hue music light show apps and this one blew my mind. No annual subscription is required like some hue sync apps and $11.99 unlocks everything. Unfortunately, no ability to airplay and continue working which would be a game changer as i could output apple music to my HomePods while the app takes care of the hue lights. Please update this if at all possible. Also only 10 lights at a time but this is due to the hue bridge only able to handle 10 at a time max. However, i’ve read that soon login to multiple bridges will be supported by Hue. If so, hopefully this app will be able to support more lights! Imagine this app running with 20+ lights! One final enhancement request…..please create an equivalent apple TV app! It would be so handy. For example, I have a camper and would love to play our music on the apple TV and then fire up this app for the light show rather than using an iphone or ipad. Anyways long story short this is a great app and well worth the $12 even without the enhancements…..great job! Also, loved that there was a try before you buy option….you can get a sense of what the app is all about and then can decide.

Party must have! Aber ich wünsche mir…

Hallo zusammen. Ich nutze die App mittlerweile seit etwa einem Jahr und bin sehr zufrieden was die junktion Ansicht angeht. Die App könnte ggfs. schöner moderner aussehen etc. Aber das Ergebnis ist einfach überzeugend. Ich würde mir wünschen dass mehr leuchten gleichzeitig ansprechbar wären aber das führt bestimmt zu Latenzproblemen.
Einen großen Wunsch hätte ich noch. Ich würde mir eine Integration in Home Assistant wünschen. Zahle auch dafür. Mein Ziel wäre nämlich auf die hue Bridge verzichten zu können und alles nur noch über diese tolle App und Hone Assistant zu nutzen.
Vielen Dank für die tolle Arbeit! Trotz allem, weil das, was die App können soll, einfach ein perfektes Ergebnis liefert. Daher natürlich 5 Sterne!

Any Updates?

Posting in hopes developer sees as the email no longer works :/ I was just curious if there was any further development planned for this app? I’ve been using it for years now and recently upgraded to a gradient light strip. The light strip allows up to three different main hues to be displayed on the same strip with the colors blending between each other. I’ve noticed when syncing to the app, only one color is displayed on the strip, instead of using the full capabilities of switching the color in the three sectors. It’s just a suggestion, but would be awesome to have. The Phillips Sync to Spotify does what I’m talking about, but I prefer to use Apple Music if possible. Other then that, there’s no complaints, I love the app and really appreciate the effort put into it. Thank you!

Doesnt work with ikea tradfri

Looking for a disco app working with IKEA thks

BRILLIANT

Thumbs up for this app, it does what it says on the tin. Just downloaded it and only using the free bits at mo, but already under the spell. Works perfectly with my Hue lights, playing my music on Spotify through the Alexa speaker. Peeeerfect 👍
Thank you!

AirPlay Restored!

Not sure if it was a bug or something, but 48 hours after I mentioned that AirPlay was glitchy, I am seeing it no longer is!!
Well done, team!

Your search ends here

This is the best music sync app for hue you can find on the app store, no need to check other apps. They are often gimmicky and too expensive.

Fairly Useless Toy

App does what it says it will, to a point.

Once synced to my Spotify playlist, the (single free use preset) lighting reactions were pretty good and dynamic. However, as far as I could tell, the music can be played only through the app on my phone (it automatically switches to this once synced).

As soon as I tell Spotify to play my music through another speaker system, the lighting sequence stops. Within the app, I can't find any audio control or settings to change how the app behaves in this regard. So, basically, it's a lighting show for personal listening... not a party or social setting.

I tried to contact support to see if I was maybe missing something, but the mail came back as undeliverable. So it seems there's also no actual support for this app. Use at your discretion.

La meilleure

La meilleure app que j’ai pu tester.

La seule qui arrive à faire des effets de changements très rapide avec plusieurs lumières.
Pas besoin de laisser le téléphone connecté une fois l’effet ça tourne tout seul
Il y a beaucoup de scénario possible avec des changement de lumière rapide.
Parfait !

I was able to figure it out it works

My bad.

Best Music App for Philips Hue

I have tried all the Philips Hue apps and this is the only app I use for my Philips Hue ecosystem, besides the main app. It’s also the best music app for Hue lights I use; even better than the official app’s music section. It has its limits but it’s so much fun.

Ableton Link fehlt noch

Ableton Link wäre super, so könnte mein DJ Programm die BPM automatisch anpassen oder beim Produzieren im Studio.
Ableton Link Integration würde ich sogar in App nochmal dafür bezahlen.

Finds hue bridge but don’t connect

Have tried everything to connect it , checked setting, pushed bridge button but just won’t connect
