Reviews for Thunderstorm for Hue

gee thanks for resetting all my customizations back to their really terrible blue sky defaults. yes, I haven’t used the app in a while. I’m guessing it was a app update that blew out my customizations. the app should mimic normal thunderstorm effects upon installation/default settings. put a demo mode in if you want to […]

I love the app but I must keep pushing the button on the Hue bridge every time I use it. I live in the basement and the bridge is upstairs. I read a similar review from someone else.

Works and will sync lights (flash all at once) to thunder. Great level of control, customisation (intensity, light selection, volume, background rain, background sounds etc). Tried several others and nothing compared.

Do we really need to have a Hue Bridge for this app to work? Just spent $40 on a Philips Hue bulb which works great via Bluetooth but it order to get a thunder storm effect (which is what I really want), do I actually need to shell out more $ for a Hue Bridge!? […]

I kind of like the idea. but have a few questions. 1. the frequency of lights doesn’t match to lighting. so I want to feel like I am in the storm. even I choose high frequency, its still kind of fade in out. 2. can I play these sounds on my Google home? 3. so […]

Amazing app! The idea of an indoor thunderstorm popped into my head this morning and thank God Scott had already had this idea before me! It’s everything I was hoping to find in this app (the fault is in Alexa. She can’t open apps.) The light effects are so natural and lifelike. He really nailed […]

Thanks for the quick reply when working this app is amazing and does what it says. Fast response from developer. Your update made the app not work. Love this app use it every halloween mostly well your 10.30.24 update it now force closes every time I try to use it. Very disappointing. The lava one […]

This is one of my favorite apps. And I have tried a lot of lightning apps. Everybody loves it when I demo Thunderstorms at parties! You have to use the Google Home app to Cast the sound and it works well. I don’t know how to get 5.1 sound, but i imagine that is Google […]

Its ok but the lightning color adjustment needs work, you can’t make bolts ‘slightly’ any color, any color chosen displays with heavy saturation. Like lightning on Jupiter or something. Also, there is a highly annoying, repetitive gap between loops. Must either eliminate gap or randomize routine and make it endless.

I love this app! I live in the desert where it infrequently rains. Now it rains/storms whenever I want. (Update Complete user error on casting. I had the volume turned very low on my phone. Casting works great if you do it right and turn up the volume.)

Cool app, but missing video option on TV after I cast my phone to TV via GHome to get sound from phone trough my home sound system. It’s kinda lame to see lights & sound create nice atmosphere, but then the phone screen without anything cool matching cast to TV. Can’t you add a video […]

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 […]

So far it is a cool experience. I can’t seem to find a way to have the sound effects play through another speaker other than the phone. If one could select speakers on the WiFi (like most apps now) then that would be great. The effect of a thunderstorm is somewhat dimished coming from a […]

I definitely needed to adjust the default settings before it felt anything like a real thunderstorm. It was worth it. Played through the home stereo, this app very realisticly imitates the thunderstorms we have here. Even my dogs want to go hide from the rain, lol. Dropped a star because it did take a lot […]

This is just plain fun, and works out of the box. I can tell it’s a lot of work, so it’s a steal for the price. Planning a thunderstorm for our indoor camping adventure and this seemed perfect when I tried it just now. Have grabbed the other apps to shake up the isolation days […]

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), […]

I can’t rave enough about this app! There are so many toggles and controls you can customize just about any kind of thunderstorm you can dream up! To the creator, Scott,you are awesome man and I hope you continue to provide this app for years to come! I would gladly pay for it if needed […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]
