### 3/5 — Worst app,

*2025-01-14, version 3.3.0*

Worst app,

### 1/5 — Just crashes. Doesn't work but asks for 10 bucks

*2024-03-23*

garbage app. deleted. suspect developer is just stealing my data.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2023-11-05, version 3.3.0*

Works perfekt with philips hue.
Homekit works ok, but that are homekit problems.
Nice App!!!

### 5/5 — Works

*2023-10-05, version 3.3.0*

Nice and simple.

Reaction to music would be a gread addition :)

### 2/5 — Can’t choose a different home for accessories

*2022-11-13, version 3.3.0*

I have two smart homes, but there’s no way to choose a different home in the app. As a result, only accessories in my other house can be connected for this app. UI seems nice though.

### 2/5 — Only works when app is open

*2022-11-05, version 3.3.0*

So I mainly use it to change the colour of my lights due to music/audio. It was the whole point of me downloading this app 

It uses your mic when on Home Screen  but lights stop charging go back into the app it works fine

Not compatible with YouTube (or YouTube Music)

### 4/5 — Good app; almost great

*2022-07-26*

This app is a great replacement for the default Hue Sync app. It's more flexible and produces brighter lights (wish I could get it to make them even brighter!). I use it almost every day while working and listening to music.

Two issues, though:

* Locks up after a few hours of use. Every single time. I have to Force Quit and restart it. I have an M1 Macbook, but it was like that with my Intel one too.
* When you open the app, it remembers the previous state of the window. So if your window was minimized when you close the app, it opens up with it minimized. This is annoying and unlike other Mac apps.

Also, it'd be nice if you could specify the input source. Right now it uses the system default. If I were wearing headphoens while working, this wouldn't work.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2021-12-21*

Doesn’t work at all horrible app

### 5/5 — Catgril

*2021-10-22*

N,c

### 2/5 — Issue with Family Sharing

*2021-09-21, version 3.1.0*

Unable to Restore In-app Purchase or access the upgraded (paid for version) on other family member devices.
