Just ok

Revised: It now works in the background which is great, I will add another star. Just can't understand why I need another app to turn off my lights, the off button in the app just halts the animation, how about a button to halt the animation and turn the lights off!

Orig. review: This could be a great app with updates! It doesn't run in the background so you need the app running on your phone with the screen on to make the scene animation run. If you added the feature to run in the background, added an alarm so I can wake up to the flashing red lights or fall asleep to the flickering lights, and made it start on the last scene when opening the app so you can turn on the lights with one button press or a Siri command I would give it 5 stars, until then it is overpriced and 2 stars.

Apple Music doesn’t work, finds 9 lights but only controls 3

I’m pretty sure the two reviews here are fake, first off it says it found nine hue lights however there’s absolutely no way to configure any of these lights and for whatever reason it only controls two of the lights and my light strips, the rest don’t seem to do anything through this app. Secondly it didn’t automatically find my bridge or a friend of mine’s bridge; I figured my Internet connection might be a little weird due to our network set up so I tried his which has his hub plugged directly into the router. Unfortunately the only way to set it up was to manually enter my bridge IP address. Apple Music integration finds all of my music but it’s all grey’ed out, doesn’t work. Unfortunately because they didn’t add a microphone option you can’t even use the music visualization feature. How terrible can you be where you force people to use one music option (Apple Music) which is integrated directly into your app (and broken) instead of having something like a mic option to listen to music in the room instead. There’s absolutely no way to configure which lights that this app uses that I found, the interface is terribly stupid and simple, all together it seems like a half-baked app that still in beta testing and never gets updated.

Developer Response ,

To use more lights, try this:
- Double-tap an effect to get the effect editor.
- Next, tap the yellow circles to get the bulb editor.
- Then choose the bulbs you want from the list.
Once you make a bulb set, you can use it with multiple effects.

Best Hue App

I’ve been using this app for years, and still no other app has come close to the functionality this one provides. It’s by far the most featured app for having lights display multiple colors in varying methods. It’s a must for party background lighting
