I just got this app today and I absolutely love it. I will definitely be using it. What I noticed, however, and why I gave it four stars, is that I can’t seem to make the app play through my HomePods. I already tried it a few times and I couldn’t make it work. I’m going to try it again, but if this is a limitation of the app I hope you’ll fix it.

how do I turn the lights off? Thy turn on, although you choose th bulbs to work with the app and then control ALL of them together regardless of ehether you want them on. So if you have 32 lightbulbs, all 32 of them are gonna turn on and change color and strangely they’re gonna stay on for the rest of your life. Right that’s some smart thinking because guess what folks you can’t turn them off you’ve gotta go back and use your manual power switch or a switch that you purchased separately or the app that came with well not this one that’s for sure so somebody needs to go back to kindergarten and figure out how to turn. The light switches on and off and generally get a grip on how it is that people use products. This might’ve been written by somebody who is on the short bus of things.

I tried all of the apps for my hue lights. I won’t pay a yearly fee for any app. This one is upgradable for a reasonable one time price! It also has a soft flickering candle light which I really wanted. The design is simple and very elegant. The music and sound of the forest or a fireplace are top notch. The only setting that’s not very well done is the lightning setting. The flashes are too long and they don’t sink with the the audible lighting/thunder. There’s another dedicated lightning app that does it way better. Other than that small issue I love this app!
