User Reviews

Review consensus: Hue Thunder offers excellent, immersive storm visuals and sound that many users rely on for sleep and relaxation, with a wide range of scenes and customization. However, multiple reviews report critical reliability issues on current Hue hardware: Bridge Pro compatibility failures, outdated maintenance with new bridges, and alignment with AirPlay/audio routing. Setup is sometimes cumbersome, and bugs like phantom rooms and unpredictable lighting can occur. Overall, the app can be fantastic when it works, but ongoing compatibility and support appear to be major concerns.

Pros

Immersive storm visuals with synchronized Hue lighting and accompanying sound.
Excellent for sleep, relaxation, and ambience.
Wide variety of scenes and rich customization (adjust thunder, rain, wind, brightness; 17 scenes).
Highly praised as one of the best Hue storm apps when it works.

Cons

Incompatibility with Hue Bridge Pro and newer Hue bridges; frequent connection failures.
Lack of updates/maintenance; outdated support and compatibility with current hardware.
AirPlay/audio routing issues; no AirPlay support or broken routing after iOS updates.
Setup friction requiring pressing the bridge button each time to start the app.
Bugs and instability (e.g., phantom ThunderG room, unpredictable lighting) and other reliability problems.

Recent reviews

The app does not work. I’ve tried multiple times to set it up with my hue hub and it will not connect. The developer is non-responsive to requests for help.

Brilliant app, if you don’t have the Bridge Pro. I just got the Bridge Pro, but did not know that it would break compatibility with older apps. Very disappointing (both in Philips and IMakeStuff). I bought all of their apps and add-ons.
