(Full Editor included with your purchase, dozens of designer collections other than "Starter Pack" available as in-app purchases)

Presets 

- Combine custom multi-step animation loops, static colors, or ON/OFF/Brightness commands for any sets of lights or groups. Activate them all with a single tap.
- Light animations even run in the background (when you close the app, or hit the sleep button)
- Share presets with others in your household on your local WiFi network—no emails or passwords necessary!
- Give each preset a transition, such as crossfade, flashbulb, or fading through a specific color.
- Randomization ranges offer interesting variations on colors each time you activate a preset.
- Organize your Presets into Collections for greater flexibility and scalability.

Triggers

- Activate any preset with Siri, countdown timers, alarms, events like opening/closing Lightbow, or even a shake of your phone.
- For hue tap owners, choose the colors and fade time that each button will trigger on your Philips lights.

Groups 

- Put your Philips or LIFX hardware into groups to control sets of lights together.
- Group lights by room, function, or anything else. Lights can be in multiple groups! 
- Set a color on different models of lighting hardware, and Lightbow will automatically calibrate that color to match up where possible.

Light Control 

- From one simple screen, you can rename, reorder, and switch on or off any of your lights. 
- Set the mood of a room with control over the hue, saturation, brightness, and color temperature of each bulb.
- Use your Belkin WeMo Outlet, LightSwitch, or Insight hardware to turn any electrical device on or off, not just lights!
- Enjoy your LIFX bulbs using the same familiar interface. Lightbow will continue to add support for new lighting hardware as it is released.

I want to love it

Many of the pre built effects are charming, others are awfully garish but we all have our own tastes. I can’t tell if this is because I don’t have some of the information I need, or if they have intentionally disabled it, but I cannot figure out how to reliably open up presets to edit them. Especially those that were pre-built. For instance, I want to build a preset based off of one that they already built, and I cannot seem to find a way to open it to start making changes to a duplicate. Essentially, they have a lovely sea preset that I would like to shift colors in to see if I could create some thing like a forest, but so far I have not been successful.

Outstanding!

Ive used many light apps. None of them make my lights dance and move like Lightbow. Excellent App to have for lighting.

Lightbow Light Show Host!

I love Lightbow. It is my perfect mood lighting and goes well with my aroma therapy (ScentAir & Aroma 360 Machines) to create the perfect sensual vibe. I purchased the annual membership because I love to have a variety of light spectacles and it covers all moods , Holidays, and form of expression. It really relaxes me to see the color change and adds a little bit of theatrics to the night whether you listening to Music, watching a movie, talking on the phone, Djing, or reading a book, or just laying in bed, Light or adds the perfect touch. The Preset of the Day feature is the coolest feature for you to test out a preset if haven’t already purchased an annual which is rather cheap only $24.00 well spent. When I play my lights, I become the Host of the LightBow Night Show pairing sight, scent and sound to create the ultimate 3 Sensational Home experience. Thanks Lightbow!

IMMEDIATE REGRET

I expected animations/video on the TV but this is actually worse than some of the ios apps where at least you can turn off the tv to enjoy the lights. Instead you get an ugly static image and mediocre lights show. There are free apps for your phone that are much better. This is a total rip off for 5 bucks

Does not work with Nanoleaf as advertised

App description says you can control Nanoleaf lights, and you can’t.

Lightbow has the most Halloween content of any lighting app!
- With the popularity of our "Trick or Treat?!" collection last year, we decided to double the number of costume-centric light+sound environments (available for in-app purchase) that you can use to psych up kids (and parents) before heading out to Halloween festivities! Enjoy all new presets like Vampire, Rubber Ducky, Swamp Creature, Fairy, Sailor, and more... Users who already bought the "Trick or Treat?!" in-app purchase get all the new presets for free. (Are you throwing a halloween party or just like getting into the spirit of things? Check out the dozens of presets in the "Haunted House" and "Halloween" collections as well!
- Added a half-dozen new color profiles for lightbulbs introduced since the last release.
- Fixed a few issues with toolbar heights and layout that popped up with the latest iOS versions.
