Please update! Best app!

Please please update! This app is my fav in the entire store. Easy and very aesthetically pleasing options to choose from. Would love so much if the developer would revisit the app they seemingly abandoned ๐Ÿ˜” I dislike the other hue apps! This one has serious potential to be #1 among all hue users if just a couple things were adjusted or updated to fit 2021.

Easy and nice

I just bought the first dynamic effects. Inability to change the speed of transitions or randomize the transition speeds is a missing capability.

Lame

Upped this to 3 stars for one effect which also dims and lights the white bulbs in my house.

Just bought the Christmas with Music pack. Out of 8, 4 have no music and one of those is static lighting. Total misadvertising

Nice, but restore purchase does not work

Like the app but when I installed on a different device my app purchases did not transfer and the restore purchases didnโ€™t work. The developer website no longer works, so probably trolling.

This is the best app in the whole store

The light zones feature is amazing if you have enough of them. It's possible this app was made by an amazing artist.

Seriously,

Love this app!

I have set up my house so every room has Phillips Hue. Even my outside doors have them. I absolutely love the scenes in this app. The variety of colors and matchup they have is awesome. It makes it super easy to pick a mood. The scenes with music are awesome as well. I'm hoping a few more Halloween scenes happen before we hit October. I do wish there was a way to set presets for some scenes. I've found one scenes the default brightness is sooo low. Easy to adjust, just annoying. The pal can be buggy here and there but for the most part operates great. I use this more than my native Hue app.

Works well

Wish there were a few more dynamic light actions for free and without music. That said, great app. Thanks!

Nags for review, gets one

Request for review hijacks the whole app until you deal with it

Ok but expensive

The app is alright but the micro transactions are too much. 50 cents is all anyone should be willing to pay for colors.

Almost great

I like that this app sort of "fills in the gaps" of the official Hue app, and it is worth buying at least one of the dynamic effects, but it is missing basic things other third-party apps have, like being able to read the scenes already added to the Hub, and being able to add your own scenes.

I also appreciate the Apple Watch app, and I like being able to control brightness from my wrist better than the official Hue widgets, but there's no way to access scenes this way.

Awesome app

This is an easy user friendly app that anyone can use.

Dynamic Philips Hue Lights App

This is an easy to use Philips hue app with lots of great built in scenes to choose from. I really like the nutcracker scenes in the new Christmas lights. Great scenes! Great app if you have lots of hue lights.

Very disappointing

When it's running it's ok but the light animations stopped when my phone turned the screen off or I went to use another app. In other words this app had to be running and in the foreground for the lights to work. Useless for running animation, which is it's only purpose.

And a minor UI point: the app gives no indication of the "palette" that it's running (e.g., an outline around the icon). If you're not in front of the lights when you change palettes on your phone you have no idea if the lights changed.

Great App

Love the effects with sounds. Just bought Halloween pack. Scary stuff

Good, needs some work

Overall this app works quite well. My biggest gripe is that the music doesn't continue in the background. Not sure if this is an iOS limitation but it means that I can't use my iPhone for anything else while this app is running.

Great app!

Love the app! Love the ones with music! Wish there was more!! Maybe make some Christmas ones with music????

No special effects for Halloween

$3 for just Halloween music and no side effects. If you are looking to scare trick-or-treaters just purchase the Hue Halloween instead. ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿฝ

Brings HUE to life

Nice app

Pretty color schemes

Palettes for Hue
