Seems to work best with fewer lights. I've greatly expanded my hue bulb collection and now notice that there must be a lag between syncing all of them and the sound from the app. It went from the lights flashing and soon after hearing the thunder (correct) where now with all lights going (about 20), you hear the thunder first followed by the lights flashing a few seconds after, which is backwards. Delay Thunder does not resolve it. Any tips for this issue outside of using less lights? Edited

Hi Matt, thank you for the feedback! Please try creating a new group with a max of 10 lights that will be used for the lightning effects. Go to Settings, scroll down to Lightning/Thunder, and change FX Targets to this new group. Please contact me at [email protected] for more help. Thanks!

Really like this app. Great for Halloween. Lots of settings to play around with to get your desired effect. Even the background sounds help make for a great atmosphere. One question. Is there a way to have better control over the pulse rate or turn it off completely. Sometimes the pulse is to overwhelming even on lowest setting. Otherwise perfect.

Very good app, great options for extra sounds like frogs. If there's one improvement is it would be the ability to cast audio to a Nest speaker. Bluetooth works but it's an annoying extra. EDIT: casting through the Google Home app is not a solution. It isn't much easier than Bluetooth and requires leaving the app. It also is heavier on the battery. Edited

OMG! This is amusing and wonderful! I bumped into this by accident and figured what the heck. It's only three bucks. Easy to use and quite enjoyable especially if you have a thunderstorm cranking out of your Bluetooth speaker. One footnote. It's more effective with lights you do not have direct line of sight to. For example a light bulb behind a lamp shade or in my case it was especially effective with the light strip hidden behind my television (reflecting off the wall). Thanks!

Awesome app, light effects and audio are perfect. Only issue is that only philips hue COLOR bulbs react and not the white ambiance ones. I understand them not being able to perform the color cues but should be implemented for the lightning effect. I'm intrigued by the other apps you have as well but the white lights might stoo from from purchasing others.

Hi Steven, the app does work with Hue White Ambiance lights. Please make sure these lights are in your selected group. You can also target the Hue White Ambiance for the lightning strikes by going to Settings and changing the FX Targets under Lightning/Thunder. Please contact me at [email protected] for help. Thank you!
