faster than 35% of Entertainment apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.

About Hue Thunder for Philips Hue
Thunder for Philips Hue done right. Finally.
Meet the most spectacular and realistic Thunder Ambiance app available for Philips Hue. It's truly immersive.
Hue Thunder provides an unique thunder simulation in various settings. Every time you start one of the ambiances it will be different and unpredictable. Al light effects have been precisely created and synced with thunder sound to create and impressive simulation with your Philips Hue setup. It will impress everyone.
Hue thunder can also be used to train pets to get used to thunder sounds and lightning flashes.
Our unique node based soundscape engine, which is behind the beautiful designed and intuitive user interface, is truly innovative. It uses techniques which are used by top game designers and audio engineers to mimic nature's way and randomness. On top of that our soundscape apps use a unique and simple to use occurrence slider to let you decide how often a specific bird or other sound is used in the preset. Still it's totally unpredictable when a specific sound is being heard therefore producing an amazingly natural sound experience. It can run for hours on end without getting repetitive like other sound engines do.
Choose from the following thunder presets and themes:
Thunder presets:
- Light drizzle.
- On a rainy day.
- Heavy rain pours down.
- Light thunder storm.
- Inside the thunder storm.
- Heavy thunder storm.
- Tornado Alley.
- Hurricane mayhem.
Thunder Ambient presets:
- A damp rain forest.
- At the beach after a warm day.
- Staring out the window in a busy city.
- A walk in the city under the umbrella.
- Bad weather camping at the lake.
- Storm over NYC.
- After the storm.
- In the car.
- Bike ride through Amsterdam.
The following elements can be altered during playback:
- Sky brightness.
- Sky On/Off
- Thunder brightness.
- Thunder occurrence.
- Environment volume.
- Thunder volume.
Other features:
- Bluetooth and Airplay supported with delay compensation.
- Sleep timer to safely fall asleep with a stormy fading background. Lights turn off after sleeptimer is finished.
(Hue Thunder also works without Philips Hue, but obviously without light effects).
