Hue Halloween for Android
Five Stars all the way. I used this tonight for Halloween with about 20 hue lights and it was absolutely awesome!! The sound affects over a Sound Bar were the best and with some hues set on a colour, others flashing and kept on repeat, this App is worth EVERY penny. Absolutely loved it! The Developer has done an amazing job. Can't praise it highly enough!
The app is brilliant but there's a few things that Rob it of five stars. The "autoplay" feature is a great addition, it cycles round the scare effects while allowing creepy background music to play BUT you cannot adjust the frequency of the scares and because they fire so frequently it can't really scare anyone. UPDATE: the developers added this option and even a way to trigger with motion sensors for a genuine scare. Bumped to five stars, a brilliant app :)
Great! But not the whole story. You have buy yet another package for all of the sound effects. If that was the case, this could have been a free app, albeit with a few less options and sounds. With that said, the sounds are great as is the light interaction. This is by far a really fun app that will get you in the creepy Halloween mood. The highly tweakable options are a favorite and I really look forward to any updates. As a side request, a haunted house sound package would be cool. Like hearing foot steps upstairs, slamming doors, scratches on the walls, banging on walls, screams and moans from other rooms. It would also be cool if there was a 5.1 or 7.1 version for us home theater folks.
Really like the app. It is fantastic. Would really like to see direct support Chromecast Audio within the app, but am able to redirect it via the phoned software. Loved the addition of even move effects!
This is an excellent app. Unfortunately during the hour and a half I ran it on auto play during Halloween the effects did randomly stop and my phone locked up until I restarted it 3 times, so looses a star for that. Could benefit from an option to just use some lights for moods and specific ones for effects (thinking entrance way) but if you have the bulbs already you won't get better Halloween decorations for the money than this.
The only reason I have marked this as 3 star is that you have to buy an additional pack to get all the sound effects. Functionally this app is worth 5 stars. The combination of effects and the use of hue motion sensors is just awesome. Makes for some very scarey effects.
Don't really like the app to be honest but given all the money already spent on Hue it makes this $2 app seem like a good deal compared to $15 for one lousy flickering light at the local Halloween store. Wish it had more options like just having light effects without sound, looping for hours while I hand out Halloween candy or have a Halloween party (can it already do this? Please let me know dev thanks!)
The lack of support for chromecast audio feels like a missed opportunity because this is a brilliant app otherwise and is almost reason enough to buy Hue lights! Motion sensor support is the icing on the cake. Halloween '17 going to be fun!
This is fantastic app! We made great use of it at Halloween 2016. While we had six bulbs deployed, we ended up only allowing it access to two. It could be improved in how it works when it has access to many lights. I found that going sequentially through the lights meant that only one of the 6 bulbs I had was active at a time. I would like to be able to assign bulbs to groups, the have an effect act on the group. That way I could have a bulb in each window across the front of our house and have the fire all at once. Not one-at-a-time.
Works ok although I'm disappointed that when selecting 2 bulbs for mood changing effects they do not change in sync. I have a right and left porch light and they are changing colors separate from each other. Not happy with that
Lack of Google Cast for audio is odd. Am I supposed to physically connect my phone like a barbarian?:-) But seriously.You connect to a motion sensor (awesome btw), but no cast
I cant get this to work through a bluetooth speaker and the ones at home are all sonos. great app but will only play sound through the phone?
I was not sure about this app working as stated. This app works as stated and beyond. Lights come on and off, dim with the sound, giving a fantastic light-sound show. You can not go wrong with this app. Fantastic
The addition of the motion sensor is pure genius. Great app, one of the best in this genre. Thanks developer. How about adding it to your other apps in the Hue range?
A fantastic app for Halloween. The developers are really responsive too - many user suggestions have been added over the last couple of years.
Fun. A bit too scary for my 4 year old but great fun, especially when used with the motion sensor.
If you have the Hue set up this app takes it to a whole other level. Definitely worth every penny you pay for it.
This is perfect, I will be deploying this with about 6 hue color bulbs in the front of my house for this years Halloween.
Easy to setup and use. Works as advertised with Hue.
BUY THIS APP!!! I LOVE IT!!! WORKS GREAT AND NEVER GETS OLD!!! THE BEST!!!!
Mye moro
Awesome worth every penny
I love it.
Amazing !!!!!
So unless I'm missing something, I have 5 bulbs connected on the app, all sit at a dim purple. When a sound effect happens only one bulb responds, the next effect causes a different bulb in The mix to activate. I would like to have the ability for all the bulbs to react to the effect. Also brightness needs to be adjusted I have mine outside and they just aren't bright enough through the bushes. I patched my headphone jack into Sonos to play the sounds through my outdoor speakers. Good thing it was cheap
Great program, but does not work correctly on a Samsung Galaxy 4. Can not access the Favorites or Settings screen on my phones. Changed to a 1 start seeing nothing is stated about certain functions not working on older versions of Android. This is the only program I bought that does not support Android 5.
I am looking forward to tomorrow night and Halloween. Today I learned that it will work with the motion sensor and I just got one but there doesn't seem to be a setting for it. The screen shots in the App Store show a setting but I think they are shots from the iphone version. I will gladly rate this 5 stars if I can get that working!
Just got this not to long ago and so did my sister and gets offers more choices than mine. Mine won't even show that I can purchase more options. Hmm sad face
Bought and refunded because I thought I wouldn't really use it. Re purchased because it was too awesome not to. Kids love it and it's just fun to play with! PLEASE MAKE A CHRISTMAS ONE!!
Great app but wish the auto play could wait as long as 10/15 minutes, 1 min delay like now just means it going off far to much.
I'm currently running this on 6 lights in and out of my house and I have the best Halloween effects on the block. I love the new update.
This would be amazing if you could integrate it with Sonos and play the audio over any speaker or combination of speakers.
Needs a Google Cast option so play the music. So many speakers It could work with. Nice app. and great for halloween
How can I jump into beta program? Do you have a Google plus page for users?
Love new updated effects
Nice!
Works great!!

Love the effects. What would be awesome to add is chromecast support for the audio.

I can't believe there's still no flame/fire/candle. The most obvious thing to include as a long playing mood! And must be able to set a resting scene (resumes when sound is off)... like bright or off or all dark purple in between effects. Controlling all bulbs or rooms works great from other apps. Not sure why they don't do that in this app to address user complaints.
