User Reviews for Hue Scintillator

Just ok

Revised: It now works in the background which is great, I will add another star. Just can't understand why I need another app to turn off my lights, the off button in the app just halts the animation, how about a button to halt the animation and turn the lights off!Orig. review: This could be a great app with updates! It doesn't run in the background so you need the app running on your phone with the screen on to make the scene animation run. If you added the feature to run in the background, added an alarm so I can wake up to the flashing red lights or fall asleep to the flickering lights, and made it start on the last scene when opening the app so you can turn on the lights with one button press or a Siri command I would give it 5 stars, until then it is overpriced and 2 stars.

Amazing Ambiance Creator

i have had the hue since it was released in dec. 2012, ive upgraded to seven bulbs... and likewise ive purchased almost every app  released for the Hue, including Disco, Golden Hue Remote... etc.. also i dont waste my time writing many reviews- THIS IS A SPECIALCIRCUMSTANCE ! because this app is light years ahead of all its competition... if you enjoy, desire, or need the perfect living ambiance to mirror your mood... or to change it- this app is it. Period. after using it, ive deleted all the other nonsense ive accumulated cluttering my iPhone. THIS IS THE ONLY HUE APP YOU NEED, and just like the clever physics reference or property adopted as the moniker of this beautiful app... the most clever thing you can do is buy this.... seriously...and you know what else,,,? you dont even have to press the dam button on your hue to get this up and running! haha. all jokes aside, ice only taken the time to write this lengthy soliloquy of praise because i was that impressed. !

Great App!

I don’t typically write reviews and certainly not for a pay up but Hue Scintillator is a great hue app, considering I’ve bought about 6 of them. What makes my Hue Scintillator my first choice app is its very simple and pleasing interface and pre-mixed options make choosing quick themes a snap. I wish there were an ability to search for other user created mixes. It seems there is a great way to share mixes among friends but the hue system is not all that widespread so most of my friends would not be able to create these.

Great for holiday displays!

I like to change my lights almost daily to coincide with holidays (think Empire State) this app lets me do that easily and with great animations. I run it on a dedicated iPhone and even if the lights are turned of from a timer, they pick right back up with the current theme of the app is still running. [EDIT: IT APPEARS IS IF THE APP LOSES COMMUNICATION WITH BULBS THAT ARE TURNED OFF FOR A ERIOD OF TIME. WHEN THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON YOU NEED TO REOPEN THE APP TO CONTINUE RUNNING A SCENE. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A LIMITATION OF THE APP, OR HUE LIGHTS, BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF THE SCENE RAN AUTOMATICALLY. I’LL HAVE TO TEST IF I LEAVE THE BULBS ON IF THEY WILL RUN THE SCENE FOR MORE THAN 24HOURS.]Minor things I'd like to see added by the developer. A visualizer that can be exported from the app to display a design on a website or social media. A collection/DB where users can share designs besides email. (This would work best with the visualizer feature)

Probably the best Hue app on the Market, but...

This is a very nice app. The animations are awesome as well as the effects. The only caveat is if you have iOS devices that access multiple bridges, the app seems to get confused. Lets say you have an animation that uses a particular set of Hue lights(Each one uniquely named). If I go to another location that has a bridge I control with another device, the app will take control of random lights within a given animation that is running. This app would get 5 stars if it could distinguish between different bridges and their respective bulbs, keeping them separate. Almost there, but still the best out there.

Music library shows songs but won’t play any

I just purchased the app and I’m trying to use the visualizer and I can see my music library but I’m unable to play any of the songs. The apps ui is clean and straight forward and very easy to use and setup. Except being unable to get my music library to work pretty great first impression.

Total control of my lights...without IAP's!

Like other reviewers, I've tried pretty much every hue related app out there, and this one is by far the best app for creating and editing your own color themes. From the variety of looping effects to the way you can create your own color palettes and sync them to your own music is fantastic. Best of all, no in app purchases! The developer isn't greedy....Buy it once and you can create any variety of looping colors that you want. I love that I can assign a group of bulbs together and have them all synced to the same colors. It's the only app you really need!

The most versatile animated Hue control app!

I have been using Scintillator for over a year now and I love all the different animation modes, I especially love being able to create different bulb sets as not all of my hue bulbs reach the same brightness or produce the same ranges of color. Scintillator allows me to have 3 sound reactive presets running simultaneously for the different types of bulbs I have in my hue setup. Running 3 presets allows me to create a evenly lit, sound reactive, color changing environment timed to whatever I'm listening to, with different color sets tuned to the differences between friends of hue products and the hue led bulbs. If you want or need granular control of different types of hue products this may be the best solution for complicated hue installations.

Best Hue App

I’ve been using this app for years, and still no other app has come close to the functionality this one provides. It’s by far the most featured app for having lights display multiple colors in varying methods. It’s a must for party background lighting

Apple Music doesn’t work, finds 9 lights but only controls 3

I’m pretty sure the two reviews here are fake, first off it says it found nine hue lights however there’s absolutely no way to configure any of these lights and for whatever reason it only controls two of the lights and my light strips, the rest don’t seem to do anything through this app. Secondly it didn’t automatically find my bridge or a friend of mine’s bridge; I figured my Internet connection might be a little weird due to our network set up so I tried his which has his hub plugged directly into the router. Unfortunately the only way to set it up was to manually enter my bridge IP address. Apple Music integration finds all of my music but it’s all grey’ed out, doesn’t work. Unfortunately because they didn’t add a microphone option you can’t even use the music visualization feature. How terrible can you be where you force people to use one music option (Apple Music) which is integrated directly into your app (and broken) instead of having something like a mic option to listen to music in the room instead. There’s absolutely no way to configure which lights that this app uses that I found, the interface is terribly stupid and simple, all together it seems like a half-baked app that still in beta testing and never gets updated.
