  • Paid and now it’s not supported!

    I paid to go premium and make custom effects and now I can’t even do that, this app is useless to me now and there’s not even an option for a refund!
  • Took my money

    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!!!

  • Does what I need it to do

    I just needed an app that could reliably connect with my Hue lamp to control the brightness and turn it on and off… something the official app was quite incapable of 🤨. So thank you for stepping in with this app; works like a charm.
  • Not working to connect my hue bridge

    Moved houses and had to reconnect my hue bridge. I have previously purchased and this app is now useless. Can your team please resolve the issue.

    I have tried adding the hue bridge manually the app keeps on crashing.
  • Works well

    I use this app to control my lights because it allows control from my iPad, my Pixel 7 phone & from my Windows 11 desktop computer. This makes this app very flexible.
    It seems to work well with the lights that I have, about 50 devices in all. I would recommend this app.
  • Ability to set Kelvin Temperature

    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
  • Money grab

    I have an ikea bulb and a hue bridge and was told to use touch link through this app to connect them however the feature is locked behind a paywall. Why would i ever pay for something that i dont know for sure will work?.
  • Hue express

    Designers for Hue express app. Software bug fix for Amazon fire TV sticks. When programming Phillips hue Bluetooth bulbs. The app crashes and goes back to main screen. I hope you can fix Hue express for Amazon fire TV sticks. Designers of Hue express. Keep up the good work making Hue express better. 👍👍

  • Great features let down by poor execution

    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.
