Dies when i check "About Hue Essentials"
When I click on "About Hue Essentials" I get an error dialog with the message...
Invalid destination: a@488f746
Just how can any app be on the store when they haven't even checked this? Should I check for more? Why bother if the developer can't even be bothered checking for this.
Fantastic app
I really don’t understand the low star reviews. This is a great app and better than the default Hue app.
Awful
Buggy. Controls don’t respond properly. $10 doesn’t include multi bridge but is written in a way that doesn’t make that clear. Rip off. Avoid.
Not free
I guess the main reason people add third party apps for hue is to add non hue devices. Touch link in this app is not free and would have been better placed as a paid app rather as one with in app purchases, a bit of gaming the system going on here
$9.99 for a feature I don’t even know if it’s going to work?
Like that’s just shady. Other items I understand but the main functionality that I actually need you want me to shell out $10 for? I don’t think so
