It works great when you are using the app and your phone to stream music. The moment I switch my Spotify stream to my pc, and then open another app. after 10 seconds the lights freeze. Maybe this has to do with Spotify not telling my phone what song it is playing on my pc so it cannot tell the iLightShow app what song it's playing, but it is kind of a bummer. Maybe with some searching I can find how to fix it, if it is fixable. For now I'll have to do with using Spotify on my phone

Works pretty dang well with lifx. I find myself adjusting the intensity during slow vs. fast parts of a song. If the intensity could adjust more dynamically to the song, that'd be dope. If the lighting feels off to a song or part of a song you can usually adjust the intensity to a sweet spot. A lot of songs though benefit from real time intensity adjustments to keep it completely dialed.

I'm putting 4 stars for playstore but is a 3 for me. There are two things I am looking for this too become 5. This app is a 5 if it's slower chilled music but it struggles with things like trance or other high bpm music. If one can have more customizable options in an advanced settings to help combat this and for even more improvements for making one's house become a club, that would quickly make this 5 starts. I do have the premium version, because this is great work as it can use Tidal.
