Candle effect is spot on across my whole house. I expect the reviews are if you only have a few which could feel a bit whack. Would be good to have better clarity over room control. It turned everything on without me realising when I first used it. Ps firework effect is awesome. Well done!

This is a pretty solid app so far. I have not tested it in full with all the different functions though but it sets the Halloween mood I seek outside at night so Kudos on that. One thing I would suggest right now is to change the persistent notification icon from a solid filled square to a flame outline or something cooler with better definition of what it is.

Ok app, and to be fair, would maybe look better if I had 2-4 lights all next to each other instead of just 2 in neighboring rooms. Flickering feels a little predictable/not very random. Wish you could control how much the brightness changes because I think the candle would look better if the intensity didn't vary quite as much.

If you're into the Hue ecosystem at all then this app is one you want in your collection. It gives a really cool " flickering fire " effect along with a campfire effect that has sound as well. Scott has a few different apps out there for Hue bulbs and the Nanoleaf Aurora panels and everyone of them is awesome.

I admit I really only use the candlelight setting but it is perfect for falling asleep to. I love the timer feature and after playing around with the settings I found the pattern I'm most comfortable with. I use this daily in place of candles and I'm really enjoying the ambiance. Thank you for your work with this great app.

Campfire / fireplace mode are wonderful!! Managed to be better than Hue labs on actual Hue and another app called Hue dynamic. Fire flickering transitions are very smooth I have 3 bulbs in my room in 2 separate lamps across the room and manages to make the whole area cozy with just enough light for TV or computer

This is amazing for table top role playing games, and the fireworks show is fabulous. I have 6 bulbs in my gaming room and it really feels amazing with this app. Now can you make one for the cold arctic with blue and white and driving blizzard winds? 😉 well done!

Dear Good work but it doesn't have scheduling possibility on the bridge. App needs to be open to function. Hence it is useless for me. I put a Hue Play in my fireplace and I don't expect to manually turn it on every day with the app open on my phone all the time... Hence I like to return the app and ask for a refund please. Thanks
