THUNDERSTORMS

• Strong Thunderstorm — Heavy rain with frequent lightning and thunder nearby

Lights pulse quickly to the sound of heavy rain. Booming sounds of thunder accompany bright flashes of light.

• Normal Thunderstorm — Steady rain with a full range of lightning and thunder

Lights pulse to the sound of rain. The sound of thunder can be heard from various distances. The closer the lightning, the louder the sound, and the brighter the flashes of light!

• Weak Thunderstorm — Light rain with occasional lightning and thunder far off

Lights pulse slowly to the sound of light rain. Dim flashes of light are followed by soft sounds of thunder.

Lights pulse and flash at different rates to correspond with the current strength of the storm.

Love this app. But would like to see more customisation. For example. The ability to set the colour curve so at the start of the flash initially its light blue and as it comes to the end of the flash it turns crispy white. So in other words you can adjust the colour within a single flash so it transitions from blue to white in an instant. Also customisation for the duration and type of flash. It could start off with a series of minor very quick flashes and then a big flash at the end.

Works great while music is playing and love all the effects. It does have problems reverting all my lights to original colors/brightness levels when going to sleep. Half of them go back, have to fix the other half through lifx app after each storm.

Great app overall. Best one on Google Play I could find. A couple of missing features that would be nice to have: 1. Media Controls i.e. play/pause via headset buttons and 2. The ability to choose to play without any lights being controlled.

Update 2: I just wanted to let you know that this app is completely broken on the essential PH-1. Almost nothing works properly. I'm not knocking it star wise because I know it can be great on other devices. Update: Everything I wanted has been implemented. The developer is amazing and I couldn't recommend this app more! - - - - - - Previous: I would like it more if the lights would flicker quickly when lightning strikes. Also, you should add the background sounds from you're new thunderstorms app. The lightning is sometimes blue too when i have it set to white. I own 4 of your apps so you're doing something right though. I'll update to 5 stars if you implement the features above.

This app really made everyone talk about my house on the block for 2017 Halloween night. This was just the thing I wanted to make my house stand out from the others. I had my tablet running this on my garage sound system and my eves of my 3 car garage were lined with my Lifx lightstrips. It made the little kids jump when the lightening and thunder popped. Thank you so much for creating this great app!
