Important!!!
Please update AmbiDesk for Hue to Version 1.6 or higher first to ensure you can continue using this App!!!

- as announced, fixed the missing Preview Image on connect issue
- also fixed the bug that results in Devices appear twice in the Connect list
- changed the backend logic of Connect, for this reason AmbiDesk Remote requires AmbiDesk for Hue Version 1.6 or higher to work with.

Final Note:

For all users of this App, you know there is less you can do with this App unless you are not connected, however, the App Downloads are up to 10x higher than AmbiDesk for Hue ever achieved, for this reason AmbiDesk will now validate itself for being a valid purchase on connection, see this please a sort of copy protection. However, if you face such issue for no real reason, feel free to let me know asap so i can invalidate this whole process, thx in advance.

This Update addresses and issue with Connection lost:

iOS shuts down active WiFi Connections on "Lock Screen" due battery saving, this results in Connection lost for AmbiDesk Remote, with this Update AmbiDesk Remote attempts to reconnect, if it fails, it lets you at least know about this, so you can disconnect/reconnect manually. This is not the behaviour that is intended to be, but at least you get informed and do not wonder why this Remote does not respond to your taps... Will improve this with the next Update i hope ..
