DeepBlueHueFeeling,
In App purchases not functioning — WASTED MONEY
I got this becuase my v1 round hue bridge stopped being discoverable today via the old app after I updated to the rapid response patch in ios. I tried to install the hue sync app for Mac but that installer would not run, and no older versions of the dmg were available from phillips hue “signify". So I stumbled on this and it actually found my v1 bridge and all my lights, so I opted for the pro version to create schedules. I am not sure that it would have made any difference if I hadn’t factory rest the hue hub, as this app is also pretty dated. I was able to install the desktop software from the App Store, but the application is still running in limited demo mode after inapp purchase of pro. At least apple recognizes multiple purchases for the same in-app feature set, so I should only get charged once. But given that is doesn’t work (charges you for in app but doesn’t unlock feattures) or allow you to schedule scenes out of the gate. It has little to no usefullness to me. I will have totrack down a new v2 hue bridge to get my hue lights working on my iphone now with the updated app or applehome kit.

Dance Sensation Doesn’t work
I bought this for the dancing sensation because it was a great addition to the lights. After this last update install doesn’t work on all the lights I have set up in a group. Only one or two out of the three work at a time. If he can fix I would give this a 4 but I’m really disappointed.
YungDanz,
Awesome
This is the best app for your hue lights, easy to use and affordable in my opinion. I think i payed like 6 dollars for the full version and it works great, has lots of flowing color options andddd it doesn’t stop even when your phone is asleep which is awesome! It does not react to sound, but honestly it doesn’t even matter because it does so many other things too. 10/10 would recommend.

Takes Hue to Next Level
Fantastic app I have around 87 (and growing) different connected hue devices across two bridges (so far) and this is the first app that has been able to seamlessly leverage both in one user experience. Plus it extends on features and capabilities of native Hue...and goes well beyond the standard out of the box Hue experiences for personalization. Very impressed as a consumer and professionally as an Exec IT leader. Well done here Hue Essentials.

Total garbage
Paid for this trash. The only reason that I bought this was for the on/off toggle switch widget. Was there & working up until today. When I went to turn on my lights, no on/off. What did they give me instead of an actual useful toggle, you might ask? A TEMPERATURE WIDGET! That’s all there is for $8!!! You can’t even find contact info for the developer on their own site, not even a lousy email address… RED FLAG!
APPLE: I will keep pushing this until I am heard. This app should be taken out of the App Store.

MUST HAVE for PHILIPS HUE!
This app is a game changer! It provides such cool and easy color effects that can’t be achieved with other apps. The color effects won’t disappoint! Developer Thomas is also very active on the community page and is responsive over emails. There was a bug that I brought up and he fixed it and replied to me! This man can have all my money. Thanks Thomas!

Best Alternative to Philips Hue App
IMHO this is the best iOS alternative to the native Philips Hue app. Philips killed the widgets in favor of Shortcuts and redesigned the UI, which went from simple and functional to a slow & buggy navigation nightmare. Well done dev, thank you. Please keep the widgets!!
EzMaTezPez,
Good App! A Little Confusing, But Better Than Phillips!
Whats free? Whats paid? Effects work how?
All things you’ll have to figure out. Overall a great app. Added my Hue Bluetooth easy peasy, controls things well, sets effects (once you figure it out).
My only strong nitpicking feedback: PLEASE remove the “bouncing” animation on the dial indicator for light level. Its nice and skeuomorphic, I suppose, but it doesn’t add anything! Its an effect for its own sake and actually reduces precision! Its hurting the UX for an effect and thats silly. Thank you!
4/5, lots of potential for a 5/5

Doesn’t work - Crashes Consistently
This is a sub bar and disappointing experience. Everything is up to date and running current versions, both iOS and the app itself. It will not connect automatically to the bridge, when connecting manually via IP address the app crashes. This app will waste your time.
Rare!,
The best hue app
This app is better than official hue app, and has rich features and great customizations .
Unfortunate that it doesn’t show up anywhere when one searches hue
