It’s a shame I had to spend money on this before realizing how slowly the lights flash for the lightning. Nothing like lightning at all.

Very good effect if you have a room with a bunch of Hue lights. Very easy to use and works exactly as advertised. I’ve been using it for about a year now with no issues at all.

Very hard to make work with airplay. I have to toggle it on and off and faff about all over. It loses a lot of appeal when I have fabulous lighting effects and tiny tinny sounds from my itty bitty iPhone speaker. Disappointed. Edit: my complaints are probably Apple’s fault. Airplay is problematic in general with my numerous device setup. However if the developer can add AirPlay controls to the app itself it would fix it.

Needs to let me play the sounds to my homepods and not just my phone. It would be more intense of a storm

The light flashing/strobing works great. He audio track is also good. I have an issue however that the audio cannot be redirected to my HomePod, and only plays on my phone speakers which aren’t good enough to and this breaks the immersion. This seems to be a regression as I could originally play the sound on my HomePod when I first got this app.

Literally every other time I open this app I have to reauthenticate it with my hub. Other than that, it’s an amazing app. Well worth the money.

Hi there! Absolutely love this app and effects you created. I wish I could connect the sound to bluetooth speakers. Is this possible or something you’ll add?

I love the app. Works great but how do I get the sounds to play on one of my google home speakers instead of my phone?
