Aura Reviews

how do I turn the lights off? Thy turn on, although you choose th bulbs to work with Aura and then control ALL of them together regardless of ehether you want them on. So if you have 32 lightbulbs, all 32 of them are gonna turn on and change color and strangely they’re gonna stay on for the rest of your life. Right that’s some smart thinking because guess what folks you can’t turn them off you’ve gotta go back and use your manual power switch or a switch that you purchased separately or Aura that came with well not this one that’s for sure so somebody needs to go back to kindergarten and figure out how to turn. The light switches on and off and generally get a grip on how it is that people use products. This might’ve been written by somebody who is on the short bus of things.

I bought Aura to be able to use with my LIFX lights. When I open Aura I do not have access to my LIFX lights. I tried re installing Aura and have lost the paid version of Aura . There is no accurate link to get technical support. I feel I just have been scammed out of $7 by the developer of Aura. Stay AWAY!!!!!

I have two Hugh Bridges one it did connect to but it didn’t actually control any of the lights the second one it will not connect I have three other apps that worked great with both bridges so I know that it’s not the bridge bummer because I went ahead and got the 699 upgrade and I feel like I’m kind of a sucker

Such a brilliant app and love the scenes, however where are my groups? It’s either each individual light has to be chosen or all of them in every room. This is why we group rooms together so we don’t have every light on in our place. Fix this issue and make it so we can see our groups, and I will bump up my rating and delete this one

Loved Aura , until this latest update. Now all I get is the “ spinning wheel “ next to the ( Phillips Hue ) in settings. I deleted it and reinstalled and it’s still doing the same thing. I also paid for the unlimited version, clicked on “ app support” which takes me to an outdated Twitter page. I know it’s only been 3 days, so I expect glitches..... Let’s get this back on track.

Expensive lightbulbs. They worked for a while, creating different colors and cool ambience, but then they stopped working and I cannot figure out how to get them hooked back up. I see no icon on the bulbs to re-download information. So I’m giving this only to stars until someone helps me get it hooked back up.

I love my hue lights and Aura has some neat dynamic scenes but the biggest flaw is that it won’t work in background like other apps. If you fix this I will most likely upgrade and change my review to 5 stars. I love the paintings and interface looks simple to use. Until then I’ll keep using Ambee which is another great app with dynamic scenes.

It a very good app, simple and very easy to figure out. In the free version only 2 lights can be used. One big drawback is that Aura must be open and running in the foreground or the flashing lights stop, that seams to be a big drawback . Some other apps are almost impossible to figure out

I wish I could just turn it on with a color wheel and select a color with no sound. The themes are interesting, but I get tired of the up and down color and brightness other apps let me do this.

Overall the scene selections are appealing. I use both the transitioning lights and the ambient music together and apart to great psychological effect. I dislike giving less than 5 stars, but two things: I’d like to make the scenes brighter sometimes. It seems the brightness slider caps too soon. Second and more important: if this app is on, it is consuming 20-25% of my battery per hour on a brand new iphone.

Good app, good scenes...I recommend, great for a conversation starter with the full. To the point: why the F do I have to turn off the EFFING lights from the device that initially set the scene, as opposed the iOS devise in my EFFING hand presently? Pleas take your time to respond whilst I trundle through this slag heap to find which, of a dozen, device may hold the key to my release to the land of...Oh, your a dark lot!

I immediately fell in love with Aura because it makes it so easy to have smooth dynamic light scenes without the headache of creating them. BUT!! it needs to be able to run in the background. I want to have the light show happening as i do other things with the phone. This is a BIG ISSUE for me.
Also being able to add my own photos from camera role and have Aura read them and create dynamic light show would make Aura perfect!

This could be really good but I can’t tell. I suggest reworking the “trial” part to perhaps being time based. Currently it only allows two lights before a $5 purchase, but I can’t really judge an animations quality with just two lights...

It’s a single task app with justenough interface to expose its features but not enough to be cramped and confusing. One thing it needs is customizable or a much larger, well made set of presets. I think that is IAP-worthy.

Overall, it’s a single tasker, to great effect, but it just lacks some content.

Love the scenes so far, easy to use, simple, and intuitive. As an efficient iOS user I’d like more control, more scenes, more options.

Please add Siri short cuts that the user can set up in app, that way we can use our HomePod and other Siri enabled devices to toggle a scene. I think your animations are the best and easiest to use out of any app out there! Maybe add more lighting effects in the future?

Great app for giving you relaxed chill Hue lights faded colors. Only complaints - could use more light programs for the $6 in app fee. Additionally, lights freeze in last setting, once the you open another App on your phone or your phone screen goes to sleep. It needs to run indefinitely or on a timer in the settings.

After trying out so many Phillip Hues app this is by far the best one. The gradual fade in and out of the different colors are subtle and rich. Upgrading is a must. The only drawback is the aren’t enough images. Hopefully they will add some soon. But definitely worth the money.

I tried all of the apps for my hue lights. I won’t pay a yearly fee for any app. This one is upgradable for a reasonable one time price! It also has a soft flickering candle light which I really wanted. The design is simple and very elegant. The music and sound of the forest or a fireplace are top notch. The only setting that’s not very well done is the lightning setting. The flashes are too long and they don’t sink with the the audible lighting/thunder. There’s another dedicated lightning app that does it way better. Other than that small issue I love Aura!

I’m very happy for the temperature and style of the affects and quality art with sound effects,. Unless you couldn’t find the switch again or if it is not set up yet … we’ll then your not going to like lightning feature which is just a blue light flashing on off. Like a traffic signal and that’s supposed to be the most fun. I could only get the LIFX features to work. Hue requires a bridge… what a waste of 10 light bulb….
