Description
Thunder for Philips Hue done right. Finally.
Meet the most spectacular and realistic Thunder Ambiance app available for Philips Hue. It's truly immersive.
Hue Thunder provides an unique thunder simulation in various settings. Every time you start one of the ambiances it will be different and unpredictable. Al light effects have been precisely created and synced with thunder sound to create and impressive simulation with your Philips Hue setup. It will impress everyone.
Hue thunder can also be used to train pets to get used to thunder sounds and lightning flashes.
Our unique node based soundscape engine, which is behind the beautiful designed and intuitive user interface, is truly innovative. It uses techniques which are used by top game designers and audio engineers to mimic nature's way and randomness. On top of that our soundscape apps use a unique and simple to use occurrence slider to let you decide how often a specific bird or other sound is used in the preset. Still it's totally unpredictable when a specific sound is being heard therefore producing an amazingly natural sound experience. It can run for hours on end without getting repetitive like other sound engines do.
Choose from the following thunder presets and themes:
Thunder presets:
- Light drizzle.
- On a rainy day.
- Heavy rain pours down.
- Light thunder storm.
- Inside the thunder storm.
- Heavy thunder storm.
- Tornado Alley.
- Hurricane mayhem.
Thunder Ambient presets:
- A damp rain forest.
- At the beach after a warm day.
- Staring out the window in a busy city.
- A walk in the city under the umbrella.
- Bad weather camping at the lake.
- Storm over NYC.
- After the storm.
- In the car.
- Bike ride through Amsterdam.
The following elements can be altered during playback:
- Sky brightness.
- Sky On/Off
- Thunder brightness.
- Thunder occurrence.
- Environment volume.
- Thunder volume.
Other features:
- Bluetooth and Airplay supported with delay compensation.
- Sleep timer to safely fall asleep with a stormy fading background. Lights turn off after sleeptimer is finished.
(Hue Thunder also works without Philips Hue, but obviously without light effects).

MadMadMikey,
Amazing (for a while)
This is an amazing app. The effect is incredible, especially if you’re using multiple lights in the ceiling. I’ve run this at parties and people really love it. There’s one problem though, and it appears to be recent. The sound runs continually but the actual lighting effects freeze up after about 30 minutes. I entertain frequently and want this effect running throughout the night. It’s a quick fix. You just have to pause it and play it again, but when you have a home full of people it’s easy to forget. If they could fix this so it can run continually I’d change my rating to 5 stars.
Edit: Issue still isn’t fixed despite update. Some background noise keeps going but the lights still freeze. I’ve tested it on every scene. Works for 30 minutes tops.

Ajaxean,
Great value. Clever app.
A lot of fun and could be quite relaxing. For an inexpensive app, it's a five star. My top wish is that there was a lightning on command button. I think that would be the biggest and easiest crowd-pleasing feature to implement. Nitpicky comments: As other reviewers have said, there could be some more settings for tweaking the lightning-thunder time delay (I usually want less time, not more like some others), and I'd like the ability to make lightning even more frequent than the current max. Only other "complaint" is that there are sometimes flashes without accompanying thunder sound. This is certainly realistic to life when sometimes you see lightning but don't hear thunder. But is mildly unsatisfying to me. With the app, I'd want a perfect 1:1 correspondence between lightning and thunder. Otherwise, it's a great idea and a very good implementation of it. I love Hue Disco too by the same developer. Makes owning Hue Lights a real delight.

Works, Neat for a while, Creates “phantom” light that shows in other apps.
App is pretty neat. The effects are cool with a Bluetooth speaker so the sound is more full. It was fun for 5-10 mins but the novelty wore off quickly.
The app created a “phantom” room or entertainment area or something on the hue bridge called “ThunderG” which I can find no way to remove. It appears on all Hue-supporting apps (including on our Vivint panel… annoying) except the official Hue app. I can find no way to delete it except completely factory resetting the Hue hub.
Worst of all somehow the ThunderG room has been turning on randomly during the day for us despite it not being used in our automations. This continues to happen even after removing the app from my phone so I don’t think it’s specific to the app itself, but it certainly never happened until we tried this app… Now I’ve got to figure out how to fix it because we keep getting woken up at 3am when the lights turn on.

(Almost) Best thunderstorm app
So I had bought another thunderstorm app to fall asleep to before this, but after one night of using this app, I am in love! Fell asleep easier than I have in a while.
One thing though is I noticed that after several hours, the app crashes. I tend to let things run until the morning cause it helps me stay asleep until my alarm. I woke up due to it crashing and had to open the app and set the storm to play again. Then it did it again after another several hours. Once this is fixed, I’ll gladly change my rating to 5 stars.
Otherwise, this is a great app!

Great app (two suggestions)
This works perfectly for me and the sound is great on my HomePod. However, I can only play on one HomePod at a time. I also can’t play on multiple devices through control center because the audio doesn’t play there. Would be great if I can have the sound on more than one HomePod since I can already have the lightning on all my lights. I don’t know the limitations of hue, but it would be cool if this app could be synced to local weather, withought any manual interactions. For the cost this app is definitely worth it, it feels realistic and lighting works perfectly.
ArcticThunder,
Okay for a little while…
These collection of soundscapes are decent at best. Just don’t run them for extended period of time (greater than 2 hours, not sure exactly how long). After which something controlling the lights freezes, but the sounds keep playing. At which point any HomeKit lights are all placed in the default room, and given the names of default hue light. A work around I have discovered is to open the Hue (official app) and sync Hue with HomeKit. It’ll give an error saying already synced or already exists. Down side being you’ll have to group your lights again.

Stormy night for our Halloween
We use this app to create a storm on our front porch… And even positioned other hue lights in the windows all the way around the side of her house last night during Halloween. I know there is a Halloween app too, but we wanted the stormy weather, not the creeks and groans and ghostly sounds. It worked great! We even put a “Hue Go” lamp into a large planters pot that looks like a cauldron. That, Some dry ice, and some plastic trays made the best candy hand-out tray we have ever used!! The rotating colors and occasional flash of light with the lightning really made it a hit!
Zack Dunphey,
Could be better
It’s definitely not a bad option if you are looking for a thunderstorm app but the timing on the lights isn’t the greatest and they are slow to come on and off (this could be a hardware limitation) and for 3.99 a bit expensive for how simple there should be a way to do a slider for how far the storm is like 0 miles -10 miles Also give you the 3D experience like on the main hue app you can put in where in your room the lights for audio sync that would be a good addition to this app to make it worth the 3.99
DBubble84,
Fun and relaxing app
I usually don’t buy apps but took a chance on this one after installing our new color hue bulbs. It is great to relax and fall asleep to. I use it in the bath and bedroom and my husband liked it too. It’s oddly calming on the softer settings and because everything is customizable you can make it as soft and serene or as loud and crazy as you like. I imagine it would be fun with kids as well during Halloween, playing pretend camping at home, or just to cuddle on the couch while reading.
kjldsklds,
Can’t redirect sounds to HomePods
This is such an amazing app. I love to use this when i want to sleep or relax in bed. However i can’t seem to redirect the sound to my Apple homepods. When i select it nothing plays at all. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. I see the option is available but it doesn’t seem to work for me. If this is a bug then i hope it gets fixed soon. This would sound a lot better playing on my homepod vs the iphone speaker.
