Lightbow: Illuminate Your Creative Possibilities

Lightbow by Peter Rapp offers an innovative platform for digital storytelling, blending intuitive design with robust features that empower users to create stunning visual narratives.
Lightbow is an impressive app that offers a wide range of stunning light shows and a powerful editor to create your own. With over six years of development and more than 100 updates, Lightbow continues to deliver the highest quality and quantity of lighting effects.
With Lightbow, you can enjoy hundreds of lighting and sound environments at your fingertips. The app supports popular smart lighting brands like Philips hue, LIFX, Nanoleaf, and Belkin WeMo, allowing you to control them individually or all at once with presets, animations, groups, triggers, and transitions.
Whether you're organizing a theater production, setting the mood in a restaurant, or simply enhancing your everyday home living, Lightbow has something to offer everyone.
The app includes a full editor with your purchase, and you can also choose from dozens of designer collections available as in-app purchases. Furthermore, Lightbow is an independent 3rd party app and is not affiliated with the companies that manufacture the supported smart lighting brands.
Lightbow provides powerful features such as presets, which allow you to combine custom multi-step animation loops, static colors, or ON/OFF/Brightness commands for any sets of lights or groups. You can activate these presets with a single tap and even run light animations in the background.
The app also offers triggers that let you activate presets using Siri commands, countdown timers, alarms, events like opening or closing Lightbow, or even by shaking your phone. For Philips hue tap owners, you can customize the colors and fade time for each button on your lights.
You can easily control individual lights or groups from one convenient screen. The app allows you to rename, reorder, switch on or off any of your lights or electrical devices connected to a Belkin WeMo Outlet, LightSwitch, or Insight hardware. You can also adjust the hue, saturation, brightness, and color temperature of each bulb, creating the perfect atmosphere for any room.
With Lightbow's ALL ACCESS subscription, available as an annual purchase for $24.99 USD, you can unlock the entire back-catalog of 100+ animated presets and receive new additions each month. This subscription offers significant cost savings compared to purchasing presets individually. Please check the app store for pricing in other currencies.
Lightbow values your privacy and has a comprehensive Privacy Policy that you can review on their website. They also have Terms of Service to protect your rights and outline the app's usage terms. For more details on the app's current functionality and compatibility with different devices, visit Lightbow's description on the Apple TV App Store or check their website at www.lightbow.net/hardware.
