Ratings and reviews

I purchased your app because of 2 things: simple to use and routes the music directly to the app without using the microphone. The issue I'm having is it crashes after I select "never ending" mode. And it continues to crash several times after I try to open the app again. UPDATE: Now it's just crashing in party mode everytime I start it. Can you please fix this?

This is an OK app for free and a pretty good app when upgraded. I like the scenes, but wish there were a lot more. Edit: I lowered my rating from 4 to 3 due to it not having updates (scene additions), and no multi-hub support. You have to press the button on the hub if you want to switch. I even tried having one device tied to one hub, and one tied to another, but one would lose connectivity and ask me to press the button each time.

The party lights feature of this app is great. It makes your Hue lights flash multi colored to music much like at a bar or club with loud music. It doesn't have to be loud tho and not bar/club music. They react to sounds as simple as a cough. I haven't explored a lot of the rest, but it seems to be a lot of light themes like the original Hue app. Some, maybe all, with audio enhancements.
