Hi Reddit,

My name is Kevin and I'm an app developer who specializes in smart lighting. I wanted to tell you about my latest app and get your feedback. The app is called "Dramatic Light Presentations" (or "Dramatic" for short) and it helps users create stunning audiovisual effects that synchronize with their lighting setups.

My previous app, "Light DJ", has almost a million downloads and has been well received by users. However, I noticed that many users were interested in using the effects for various types of presentations but found it difficult to make it work. That's why I developed Dramatic, which addresses many of the challenges faced by presenters and offers much more.

Here are some of the features included in the app:

• Multi-zone lighting and audio effect control: Separate your lights into 3 groups and play independent audiovisual effects on each. For example, you can have an ambient background music in the background while playing sound effects for trivia questions or murder mystery clues. Customize your zones to create the perfect atmosphere for your presentations or events.
• Full audio integration: Connect to Apple Music or import your own tracks or sound effects. They can be synced with any of the built-in lighting effects in the app, allowing you to create truly immersive audiovisual experiences.
• 150 custom-designed audiovisual effects: Choose from a wide range of effects that work with Hue Entertainment and Nanoleaf. Categories include Ambiences (including Dark Ambiences), Game Show, Weapons, Monsters, and more.
• Default zone color: Set the color of your lights when effects are idle. Customize your zones to suit your needs and preferences.
• Scheduled transitions: Schedule your scenes to perform automatically and create impactful hands-free gestures. Use this feature to make a grand entrance or transition between different parts of your presentation.
• Handheld remote control: Use any media remote or Bluetooth game controller to navigate scenes, control brightness, and turn off effects.

As an app developer, I'm always looking for ways to improve my products. That's why I'd love to hear from you. Would you use an app like this? What other features would you like to see in future updates? Your feedback will help me create an even better app for users who want to add a touch of drama and excitement to their live streams, tabletop gaming sessions, trivia nights, murder mystery parties, and other types of events.

Thank you for your time,

Kevin

FAQs

1. iOS or Android?

iOS-only at the moment. If the app takes off I'd love to make an Android version like I did with Light DJ

2. What lights do I need for the app to work?

You’ll need smart lights from Philips Hue or LIFX, or Nanoleaf Light Panels to use the app. Audiovisuals are only supported with Hue Entertainment and Nanoleaf; LIFX and legacy Hue users are limited to basic transitions.

3. How do I get the app?

You can download the app today on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/US/app/id1637747559?mt=8&c=reddit&pid=reddit
