Never Finds Devices

Even with the latest version, the app cannot find Hue Bridge/Hue products or Google Home.

Needs improvements

I like your app a lot and I’m hoping to see some great updates in the near future. I’ve tried many different 3rd part light app and yours is the only one that can run my new Nanoleaf light bulbs. I’m using your beta HomeKit setting and it need a lot of work. It’s a good start and it does what I’m looking for. Just wish that this app could run in the background of my phone instead of having to be in the app and music syncing problems. Like I said I’m liking what I’m seeing. But for now this app will have to be at 2 stars for now. I’m hoping to give this a more than 2 stars and change my review. I really want give your app 5 stars if these huge / minor problems can be fixed.

Unresponsive after diaco

Once the light changes on the light bulbs it wont connect again unless I delete the app and redownload it. Like come on i payed for the app to work not work sometimes.

Very Buggy

I have some issues with this app.
1. Screen sharing constantly disconnects saying the broadcast attempted to start an invalid broadcast session.
2. When it works there is a 3-5 second delay from the time a color appears on the screen till it appears on the lights.
3. Issue 2. Is for a single light, add more lights and there are delays between the lights.
4. I can’t find documentation anywhere.
5. Developer’s websites only have marketing materials and little support.

Cool concept if it works but this app feels like a beta at best.

Not working

Guess I just waste two dollars on installing something that doesn’t work.
Did resync restart change the song all that, but still not working. It keeps showing me the message fetching the beat timings for the song fail.
Can I get my money back?! 😅😂

Response from developer

Hey! It seems like there were some server-side issues that should now be resolved, could you see if it works now?
