Turn your Hue lights into magical dynamic light scenes with Ambee. Transfer yourself to romantic Paris or get overflown by the colors and dynamics of Northern Lights.

• 1 WHY AMBEE?
Ambee invented Dynamic Light Scenes for Philips Hue in 2013 back then known as Goldee. Carefully chosen colors, hues, shades, duration, transitions that change the colors of your bulbs and coordinate well together are hand-crafted for you.

• 2 WHAT ARE COLORFUL DYNAMIC LIGHT SCENES?
It is a sequence of hand-crafted colors, shades at different brightness levels that move/dance/change in time to create a specific ambiance.

• 3 WHATS THE SECRET SAUCE TO A DYNAMIC SCENE?
We start with artist-sourced photos as our palette and then create a scenario for each scene. We have invented and created proprietary software for the Light Animations created by Philips Hue lights. The Lighting Library has been growing since it was introduced.

Pros and cons of AMBEE for Philips Hue Lights app for iPhone and iPad

AMBEE for Philips Hue Lights app good for

This app is the greatest option for transitions / scenes! This is greater than Philips App.
I like the selection, but I really wish there was a way to dim the intensity of the selected scene.
I really like this app! So far outstanding! Smooth, clean and clear :) its really easy to use which is important to me.
The holy grail of Hue apps!! As a long time Hue user and old Apple employee, Ive been longing for an app for thats simple to run, yet is able to turns heads in envy. The preset themes in Ambee are designed to make an owner of Hue look like a rockstar. Try Northern Lights, you wont be disappointed. Last, expect compliments and questions about your Hue lights when running this app.
Sure, the pricing isnt perfect but the themes absolutely are. I can tell that a great effort has been undertaken to create these magical themes. No app does dynamic thematic lighting like the Ambee team and I am looking forward to enjoying your craftsmanship with light. Keep it up!
I absolutely love this app with all of its swirling colors and moody ambience. But it does override the Philips Hue app without your consent. A week ago this app caused a fight with my spouse who went to sleep upstairs before me and we couldnt get the master bedroom lights to stop playing the Ambee show over and over. Turns out even if you shut a room off with Philips Hue Ambee will turn the lights back on and if you dont realize this is happening it can cause a real problem! But knowing this ahead of time will make Ambee worth the money spent. Pay attention to the room scenes on top of the Ambee app or you may regret it!

Some bad moments

I got the app for free but just to test it one has to pay at least 2€ ... Hint: include 1 scene for free. Otherwise a lot of people (like me) simply delete it without trying.
Id love to give this a better review but not willing to shell out $2.79 (per scene) to see if I like it or not. This should come with a few free scenes.
This app keep asking for your personal info (e mail, Facebook log in, Apple ID password etc.) before you can try it. No thanks.
First thing the app tells me is something error about my not making a purchase. Second thing the app tells me is to create an account, or connect to Facebook. I cant even try it out without an account. App deleted.
There are a few sections of light moods in this app (relax, party, etc) and within each section are a few different color pallet options. Each mood has 1 free pallet and every other individual pallet setting is priced at $1.99. Are you kidding? The apps menu navigation is somewhat intuitive but the business model is not.
Goldee was one of my first Hue apps, and after its fall a year ago, I was very upset. Tomas has now released a spiritual successor in the form of Ambee! This app being in its 1.0 phase needs some tweaks, but its easy to tell this app has loads of potential. Its easy to use and set up, theres no lag, the themes are perfect and really set the mood. This is a great app with loads of potential and a great user experience. Cant recommend it enough.
