Exactly What I Wanted

By Andrew M. K. (Pcmac user)

This app is everything I wanted it to be. I originally had an issue with a bug not allowing custom songs to be made and the developer responded with a fix in a few days. It takes some time to learn, but once you’ve practiced the custom preset maker is perfect for creating light shows that you can manually sync with music. I’ve used it to create a custom hockey San Jose Sharks goal song and I’ve recreated some scenes from Disneyland attractions with sound effects/lighting. I plan on doing so much more in the future. Suggestion: preset playlists. These could be implemented into the “collections” feature and allow users to stay on a certain preset for a specific amount of time and then move to the next one. I realize this is already somewhat possible.. but you cannot set specific times for certain songs (only a blanket time for all songs) and you cannot limit it to just one collection on repeat. Thanks for making this!
Issues with Lights, UI, Support and Price

By mrcs (Pcmac user)

First issue is lights. I turn off certain lights because I don't want the presets using them. The app turns them back on! It's like it looks at the bridge and says "That is the state of the light I'll use, instead of issuing them commands" If in the app I turn OFF a given light, even if someone turns ON that light via Alexa or Hue, the APP should IGNORE it, not go and use it. Ugh! Second, buying presets is terrible, because after you do there is NO interface for "Here is what you have purchased!" You literally have to go through each and EVERY preset button just to see what you have bought. If you buy say 2 or 3 but can't remember which ones you have to click them all tomfind what you bought! Third, some presets don't even work all the time. Fireworks works sometimes, othertimes it doesn't! I contacted support 4 weeks ago twice, no reply back. Finally, each pack is 5 bucks. If you want all the presets, it's flipp'in expensive! I DO like the sounds + lights but this whole app setup is just plain terrible.
Great presets, but no way to limit presets to a subset of lights

By Ntoppn (Pcmac user)

First, the good. this app has a lot of preset configuration and does a very good job animating the lights with music. The subscription is a little pricey, but it does come with a lot. The problem with this app is it isn’t easy to run an animation on a single light, or even a single light group. When you start running any of the subscription presets, it runs them on all lights, or seems to pick lights at Random - not good if you have a lot of Hue lights. The only way that I’ve been able to do this, and even this isn’t 100% reliable, is to shut off all of the lights, except those that I want to control. I then start the preset and then I can turn on any other lights that I want to. The functionality that should be there is to be able to pick a light group, which should take you to a place where you can pick the preset, thereby limiting the effects to only that group.
Great App & Great Dev

By Arcyl the Red (Pcmac user)

Bought the app because I had bought a couple LIFX bulbs and wanted more options than what the LIFX app had to offer, and wouldn’t you know it the app couldn’t find my lights! Messaged the support email about it and in about a week there’s an update that completely fixed the issue! Apparently LIFX bulbs aren’t as easy to work with so I really appreciated how quickly the Dev fixed the issue. Once I was able to use the app I was definitely glad I picked it up because all the light scenes that you can get are really cool and unique and new ones are regularly coming out, and you can tell if you have the patience you can make some really cool scenes yourself. This will be the last app you’ll need for your smart light scene needs.
