Hue Disco for Android
I've been using this app since I got my hue lights setup the other day and I feel very confident so far that I spent my money right considering the heaps of other Phillips third party apps out there. I hope more themes will be integrated into the app as it goes. My only issue (small detail I have seen stated) is that when I am done using the app it just stops at whatever color was on at the time. It would be really awesome it the lights defaulted to a standard setting of "on". Other than that I have no complaints. Thanks for making an awesome app sir or madam.
I was looking for a way to sink to Christmas music with red and green lights this year, and no other app would do the job. This one does custom colors, and i can stream with Alexa (Amazon Echo). Totally worth the money!
Good app, but... How do I get this on multiple devices without have to pay for it multiple times? I have it on my phone and want to enable it on my daughter's tablet. It is an amazon Kindle (downloading via google play) and it is still asking for payment. EDIT: I want to thank the developer for his quick response to this issue. Unfortunately the only solution did not work out as hoped. This product works perfectly on my google play eligible devices. Kindle needs a separate download through the amazon store as of right now. Oh well, but this is a truly fun product when you see your 12 year old bouncing around her room dancing to her favorite songs and the lights going crazy. Worth the money!
I like it, but note that your microphone will be in use when using this app so other apps that use the microphone will not work. It would be even better if there were a widget and tasker integration. Also agree that it should revert to the original state when you turn it off.
Great app. Don't know why Philips is advertising the functionality without privatizing an app for it. Also it would be great if it could be integrated into Google Home Chromecast music streaming (without the need of a microphone). But generally great app
This app is so worth it. Only thing that bugs me is that you can't Snapchat/record the disco! These apps won't let you record at the same time. Other than that it's an absolutely incredible app with amazing light shows.
I really like this app so far. The only problem I have with it is when you attempt to create your own color scheme. The color picker isn't all that accurate, as in it has a brightness slider that is slightly confusing and I can't select any colors that are from teal thru green. They just go from a whitish to yellow, with very little difference with the slider in different spots. Other than that, its great!
Been working great so far. One issue though, why is it when I have the app running my phone vibrates every time I pick it up and twist it or rotate it in any general direction? I don't see a setting anywhere to turn it off
After one day it won't connect to my bridge. It shows up but keeps saying retry. Update: All is fixed and the app works beautifully! Awesome, seamless control of your party lighting!
Great app, but with my Samsung tablet there is something wrong with the greens in disco (fine in mood lighting). there simply aren't any greens, they've been replaced with white light. It'd be a way cooler app if the greens worked in disco- white instead of greens seem to depreciate from the app. It would be an excellent app though if it was fixed...
I really like this app a lot. There are only two improvements I'd like to see: 1. Quicker response time. The lights are a bit delayed from the music. 2. More options for mood lighting. Other than that, it's great and I always get compliments on my lighting when using this app.
Great app, however there is a bug, when choosing the option to start the disco mode on app startup, the disco mode does start, however the microphone input does not work until the disco mode is stopped and restarted. I am trying to use the disco mode with tasker so need this portion to work. can you please look into the issue
If you have hue colour lamps you need this app. I have three colour lamps set in paper lanterns and use the colour gradient setting under the mood tab. It looks awesome in my gazebo. The only thing that I don't like about this app is that while the colours randomly and slowly transition from one to another you can't exclude white as one of those colours. A small complaint I know but it doesn't stop me from rating it 5 stars- it's that good.
Love the functionality but one huge flaw I hate. When playing a theme your phone vibrates when doing a theme even the slightest move of your phone gives a vibration which is not just annoying but is horrible for my phones battery. **Edit** Received immediate response and was educated on how to disable it.
Brilliant app. Party! The guest list breaks down like this for me...Spotify premium, Chromecast Audio, Yamaha amp, Q Acoustic speakers, Phillips Hue and his brother Hue Disco! Well done guys!
Need to remember the price is miniscule in relation to the overall cost of a combination of lights and bridge. So, no complaints here. As others say, it would be good to be able to have a default light setting you can return to. Otherwise, good stuff.
I like it but one major problem to me there must be an option to put the bulbs back to the original state. Otherwise you have to go and change all the bulbs back to how you like them which is really annoying
This app is by far the best disco type app for Philips Hue lights. I looked at free alternatives but there is no comparison between them and this app. The BPM control, microphone control and strobe mode is excellent. A feature I would like to be added is media playback right from the app, with integration into Spotify. This could process the audio in a way similar to the microphone mode, but MOST IMPORTANTLY could look up the tempo of the song using an online service or detection algorithm (like desktop DJ applications do) to adjust the BPM when a song changes. This would make this app 5 stars.
I've only had this app for one day but already know this is the best Hue app out there, by far... I've tried all the others and they don't come close. This app allows you to customize everything so you have an endless amount of options which is what Hue is supposed to be about.... Great job!
This app is great but....... When I'm using just the lights in my room it's fast and in time with the music, but my whole house is Philips Hue and with all the lights selected it's very sluggish. Maybe it needs an option to adjust intensity.
The app is nice but can feel buggy. For example some lights will not turn off, so while the rest of the lights that I want are on, the others are dimmed
This is a great app, but for some reason, it can't produce teal colors. They just show up as white.
Only played with it for a short time, but seems to do what it says on the tin. Lots of customisation available to get the effect you would like. Odd that all these aps use the phone speaker to listen to music rather than use what's playing on your phone. Would like the ability to reset your lights back to what they were when you started the app.
Love this app. I've Only just set up my hue home lighting and found this app easy to use and worked flawlessly. GREAT WORK
I love this app ..would be cool if you made a movie setting one. I have two lamps side by side my TV if the color can be the same with the sound effects would be awesome
Is there anything in the future about letting this app work with Amazon echo? Like let my echo activate it and use its microphone so I can continue to use my phone normally?
You should create a plugin for Google Home! It would be great to be able to use the mic on the Google home.
Best money ever spent!!! The app it's not perfect, but it's almost there! I love it so much! Thank you Mr. Dev!! Keep it up!
I do like it a lot but I rarely use it, and money is really tight right now.... no refund options??
The mood stops everytime the screen goes off. Can't seem to find the setting for that.(would rather not have to keep my phone screen on the whole time I want to party the phones the last thing on my mind). Also the greens and blues are kinda off when you're making your own scene. Other than that it's great.
Works absolutely fantastic, easily the best disco and strobe controller for Android. However it's missing 1 option, when you switch it off the lights stay at whatever colour they are at that point. Now I have to manually set the lights to my preferred colour and brightness. Adding an option to return to the previous state after stopping the disco effect would make it 5 stars!
While this app and the Philips Hue lights are in use, I am not able to use my snapchat or camera on my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 smartphone. Other than that ot works awesome with the lights and it's great for parties!
When my phone screen is off, it vibrates on EVERY transition and drains my phone battery very quickly. This makes it unusable for any decent amount of time. This feature makes no sense at all. Other than this, I love the app and it's the overall best Hue app. I really wish I could use it more.
I wish there was a way to stop the alternation between smooth snap and mix. Every time I put snap it changes to another one I don't want also I wish there was a way to create groups with the lights. Besides that it will be a 5 stars.
Works good guys. I noticed there is a spelling mistake when you set a timer for the lights turn *OF instead of OFF with the little memo that pops up at the bottom.
I have say thank you for fixing the moods stopping with screen off. I've said it before, but the app you have here is magnificent, it was amazing to see the amount of variation in v2, keep up the awesome work!
Simply brilliant, easy to use simply put really pleased with this. So much so i purchased the fireworks and Halloween app too. Great job.
This app, my favorite disco playlist, and suddenly I'm transported back to those parties in Disco Joy in Eindhoven (aka Philips-town) Keimooi spul mennekes... Bravo!
I've only had this app for one day but already know this is the best Hue app out there, by far... I've tried all the others and they don't come close. This app allows you to customize everything so you have an endless amount of options which is what Hue is supposed to be about.... Great job!

Love this app. My two year old daughter loves this app. She always asks me for a dance party. If I don't use this app with our lights when I play music for her she says "dada where's my lights?" and won't dance without them. My friends are impressed as well when I use this app. One thing that would make this app even better is if you could make widgets for the disco, strobe & mood setting.
