Still my favourite

Even without updates since 4yrs, this app is still my go to.

Now 5 years and STILL my go to lighting App

Pure Genius!!

Needs Update

Doesn’t work with the bridge pro which is sad. This was the best one out there.

Still my favourite

Even without updates since 4yrs, this app is still my go to.

Hue bridge pro

Thorlight was the best hue app, I paid for all the upgrades and it was awesome. Unfortunately i upgraded my bridge to the Pro and the app no longer works. Please please please update so I can go back to using it.

I’d really love to see an update

This app is really cool in how it allows you to set up your lights to reflect their physical proximity. This allows you to play animations that simulate clouds passing over or a change of color going from one light to the next closest one or whatever you choose.

But no updates in 4 years? Come onnnn. Please? I really like this app and I don’t know of any other that lets you set up your hue lights this way

Best Hue App I ever had

Wish it worked with the new hub.. upgraded and no longer supports the API.. Odin if you’re out there, make a new versions there’s nothing better for lounge scenes today. Would $$$

Used to work

Used to be a real fun app. Super unique. Doesn’t work anymore. Can’t seem to find my hue bridge.

Doesn’t Work with New Hue Bridge

Doesn’t work with the new hue bridge apparently. Please make an update. Love this app!

The Best

This is the best app for Hue. The developer is looking over an update to support the new bridge

best there is after 8years of use

Nevermind, disregard below. I forgot still need to be on same network as the bridge. My bad. Works great again now.
------------------------
update after 8 years:. will no longer authenticate with Hue bridge, after Philips forced a bridge update. Sad. This was the best app ever, seems orphaned. Sigh. old review: --------------------------------------//// Love this app. For wild effects, nothing else comes close. Steep learning curve but worth it. It needs to be set up properly, and that takes time initially. Then AWAY WE GO!!!!!! Author needs to make a video, or hire someone to make a video, to show how to set it up.

Abandoned App?

Love the app but is seems like it is abandoned and not being updated

My Go To

It responds fast, not like others, and the color hues are clearer and brighter. It has saved the day in the face of other hue apps becoming bloated and costly. Thank you Thorlight

Thorlight for Philips Hue is amazing

I Can Control lights

Simply does not work

Have paid £8 for light settings only to find out it can not find any Phillips hue lights. Don’t was your money. All other apps find the hue bridge straight away with out problem

Tanya Hehir

This is so easy to use! We love it.

Update

When are you going to be updating for iOS 18?

Scenes not working

Generally quite happy with this but some scenes just don’t work.

Great potential, terrible execution

One of the greatest features of LED lights is music syncing, and hue in general does it terribly. Thorlight is probably the best 3rd party app for hue but the features are practically not usable. The sequence set up is average, and doesn’t even work. It’s disappointing but if you are looking for a good led lightshow, don’t even get hue in the first place.

Cannot Connect to Hue Bridge

I have tried multiple times to connect this app to my Hue bridge and it is not working.

Both devices are on the same network and pressing the button in the 30 second timeframe yields no results. I may remove this app from my phone and find something else.

Recommended app

Great hue app. Probably the best. One suggestion I would offer is probably not possible. I have really slow wifi at home. My unlimited 4G connection is wadi better. It is an annoyance to have to switch off my phone's wifi to use the web, but have to reconnect any time I wanna change the lights, or have the animations continue. Would be nice if you could access the network adapters on a better level. Like instead of saying "use default system network" have it pick the wireless network.

EDIT: This app is still awesome, but I can't help but feel like we need some new animated themes.
