10 Positive User Reviews for Hue Thunder for Philips Hue
Update or the end?
Really hoping for a comparability update for the Bridge Pro. This app is such a good simulator I’ve actually used it for sleep and mental health. Bummed it’s not currently working. If this is the end, I’m here to pay my respects! Thanks for a great app that helped me probably more than intended.
Almost perfect
The best thunder/lightning app I’ve used for hue. My one request would be for the light(s) to turn off when the timer is done instead of staying on. I made an awesome thunder cloud out of a large plastic water bottle, synthetic pillow filling, and 3 hue lights. Would love to fall asleep to to thunder and lightning using the timer, but my room is lit up after the timer is done.
Can’t redirect sounds to HomePods
This is such an amazing app. I love to use this when i want to sleep or relax in bed. However i can’t seem to redirect the sound to my Apple homepods. When i select it nothing plays at all. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. I see the option is available but it doesn’t seem to work for me. If this is a bug then i hope it gets fixed soon. This would sound a lot better playing on my homepod vs the iphone speaker.
Great app for Hue!
I absolutely love this app. I have only played with it for a few minutes so I am not sure if I will run into the crash issues others have experienced. As for now, this app has completely blown me away. After AirPlaying the storms through my HomePod, the only disappointment came when I had to shut it off and rejoin the family. I can’t wait to show it to my wife tonight.
Love this but...
Please put a seizure warning on flashy apps/effects. Some of us have photosensitive seizures
Could be better
Overall I like this app, but I hardly ever use it. The reason is very simple; it’s a pain in the butt to start it up. You have to tap the button on the bridge to get the app to work with your system. If it was just the one time to get it set up , fine, but you have to do it every single time you open the app. That means you have to have the bridge in a REALLY convenient place, or you have to settle for the app being more difficult than it’s worth. It’s because of this issue that I have not bot
Okay for a little while…
These collection of soundscapes are decent at best. Just don’t run them for extended period of time (greater than 2 hours, not sure exactly how long). After which something controlling the lights freezes, but the sounds keep playing. At which point any HomeKit lights are all placed in the default room, and given the names of default hue light. A work around I have discovered is to open the Hue (official app) and sync Hue with HomeKit. It’ll give an error saying already synced or already exists.
Could be better
It’s definitely not a bad option if you are looking for a thunderstorm app but the timing on the lights isn’t the greatest and they are slow to come on and off (this could be a hardware limitation) and for 3.99 a bit expensive for how simple there should be a way to do a slider for how far the storm is like 0 miles -10 miles Also give you the 3D experience like on the main hue app you can put in where in your room the lights for audio sync that would be a good addition to this app to make it wor
4 stars because of the limited airplay ability.
Good graphics, simple controls (for the most part) I'm still learning it.
It won't let you play through more than one set of airplay speakers.
I don't know if this a app problem or apple problem.
I'm 90% sure the app is limiting you.
Storm lovers ❤️
If you enjoy storms then you will like this app. I stream it through my home surround or HomePod and the light effects combined with the audio are very impressive!
