Fast Perfekt

Super App mit extrem vielen Möglichkeiten sich seinen eigenen Wohlfühldonner zu generieren. Ich würde sofort 5 Sterne geben, wenn die App auch bei geschlossenem Gerät weiterhin die Licht- und Donnereffekte ausführen würde, damit ich per Sleeptimer zu dem Ganzen einschlafen kann. Ich hoffe das wird noch per Update nachgereicht!

Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Die App sollte weiterhin im Hintergrund laufen, jedoch kann es vorkommen, dass Ihr Gerät den Hintergrundzugriff unterbricht, wenn die Audioausgabe deaktiviert ist. Falls Sie die Soundeffekte aktiviert haben, starten Sie Ihr Gerät bitte neu, um vorübergehende Störungen auszuschließen. Für weitere Hilfe wenden Sie sich bitte an support@thunderstorm.scottdodson.dev. Thank you for the review. The app should continue to run in the background but your device may stop background access if audio is disabled. If you do have the sound effects enabled, please try restarting your device to rule out temporary glitches. Contact support@thunderstorm.scottdodson.dev for more help.

Not very realistic

It’s a shame I had to spend money on this before realizing how slowly the lights flash for the lightning. Nothing like lightning at all.

Well worth the money

Very good effect if you have a room with a bunch of Hue lights. Very easy to use and works exactly as advertised. I’ve been using it for about a year now with no issues at all.

Excellent Thunderstorm simulation!

Best thunderstorms of any app I’ve tried so far! Getting my Halloween window display ready and running this has really made it come to life! One thing I would like to be able to choose more than a singular color for the lightning. But otherwise perfect!

Brilliant App!

Works exactly as described. Was incredibly simple to set up with our Hue bridge: just tap in the app to select your bridge, then tap the link button on your bridge and it’s done. You can select all lights or use your light groups/zones to create storms throughout your home. You can also select the intensity of the storm and have the ability to tap to create lightning on command. It’s perfect!

Waste of money

It doesn’t matter if you have the $60 hue bulb and an Alexa system you cannot run this app. In order to run this app you would have to own the hue “bridge” which is basically an Alexa that only operates lights. That is the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard who would buy a entire station for a light bulb that already costs $60. Very disappointed I wish the app made any mention of the necessity of a “bridge” before you spend your money. WASTE.

Sorry if this was not clear. A Hue Bridge is required to use third-party apps. Adding a Hue Bridge to your Philips Hue setup lets you control up to 50 lights and 12 accessories throughout your whole home, as well as unlock upgraded features such as away-from-home control. If you would like to request a refund, please go to reportaproblem.apple.com. Please contact support@thunderstorm.scottdodson.dev if you have any questions.

I have only one critique...

This is a truly excellent application and I absolutely love the storms. It really helps me feel grounded and eases my naturally high anxiety. I currently live somewhere that doesn’t experience many electrical storms; I grew up living in a place where these storms were in abundance and I often find myself longing for a good storm. This app combined with the lighting hardware, completely satisfies this longing.

Now for my only critique...

Please keep the thunder rolling for longer.

The sudden drop off of the distant thunder rolls is significantly telling of the falseness of the sounds. It, ever so slightly, takes away from the experience. The environment you have created here is incredible. The sounds and light show sweeps me away in soothing mind numbing bliss; Which I so desperately desire. You are so close with this marriage of light displays and sound. The amount of healing this brings to me is so valuable to me, and I am so grateful to have found this.
Thank you 🙏🏻

I love the app. Works great but how do I get the sounds to play on one of my google home speakers instead of my phone?

Excellent Thunderstorm with support for Audio via AirPlay

Tech Tip: If your iPhone doesn’t play the audio via AirPlay from control center, try restarting the iPhone.

The app does support AirPlay via Control Center: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202809#ios. The Delay Lightning setting lets you choose how much time to delay the lightning to compensate for the wireless audio delay. Please contact support@thunderstorm.scottdodson.dev for help.

Click on bridge

Every time I am back home I have to click the button on hue bridge. Can this not be permanent?

Thanks

Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening

Really impressed with this app. It synced easily with hue and is so customisable you can tweak everything to just how you want your storm.

Extremely relaxing to fall asleep to once setup correctly.
