Abandoned

Truly sad how you can throw away like it’s nothing the countless hours your users spent making this app what it was. This app was something special when it still worked.

Needs to be updated

The “lights” section to add the bridge or lights is not working and there is no way to contact through the app so this is the only way to reach out.

Core features don’t work

After the app found my hue bridge and i selected it, it instantly crashed the app and continued crashing.

Happy to change my review if the devs fix this but it seems like this app isn’t being maintained anymore. Any chance of open-sourcing this?

FAQ

What does Sync My Lights do?

Sync My Lights synchronizes your Philips Hue smart lights with the on-screen action and sound of movies, TV shows, and music videos. It uses advanced algorithms to create dynamic lighting effects that match the content you are watching or listening to, enhancing your overall entertainment experience.

How does the lighting synchronization work?

The app analyzes the on-screen action, sound, and even emotion of your media to create tailored lighting experiences. These are often community-created 'recipes' that are designed to match specific content, providing a more immersive and engaging audiovisual experience.

What is the cost of Sync My Lights?

The app offers free access to some lighting recipes in the 'What's New' section. For unlimited access to all current and future recipes, a subscription is available for $1.99 per year. Published lighting recipe authors receive a year of unlimited access free of charge.

How can I manage my subscription?

Your subscription will be automatically billed through iTunes every 365 days until you cancel. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal by going to your iTunes Account Settings after purchase. Auto-renewal must be turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period.

Can I create and share my own lighting recipes?

Yes, you can create and share your own custom lighting recipes with the Sync My Lights community and other Hue Lights users. This allows for personalized lighting experiences tailored to your specific preferences and favorite media.
