Took my money

Jmayer421 on

Won’t even let me upgrade bc it shows I’ve already purchase (I’m assuming from my original purchase before they required u to pay more) yet won’t let me utilize anything like adding my bridges or other devices. And the one currently connected shows everything disconnected or unreachable. So it’s impossible for me to use the app THAT I PAID FOR!!! Run!!!

App need work

Ability to set Kelvin Temperature

ChiScott66 on

Saw a response on a Reddit thread from the developer and immediately downloaded the app and was easily able to set the exact Kelvin temperature. Thank You!!!

Buggy but when it works it’s beautiful

I should’ve read the reviews before buying

Great features let down by poor execution

TempTag on

I bought this to make custom event automations but the experience is very buggy so far. Screens close without warning, the entire app has crashed numerous times, and I have received errors updating two different hue bridges. I have been able to created some automations so 2 stars but the whole experience needs to be greatly improved to get a higher rating.

The widget has disappeared

Please fix ASAP. This is a paid app.

Fixed

The widget is back

Doesn’t work - Crashes Consistently

Rich.Robles on

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.

Entertainment Upgrade doesn’t work

bathroombreakreviews on

Simple as it says, works for about 10 seconds and gives out. Everything else you can do from the original hue app so it’s wasted money.

Total garbage

Shadowfear77 on

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.
