Doesn’t work.

Although every other app I have that needs to connect to the Hue bridge manages to do so without any problems, this app will not connect. It doesn’t control the lights in time with the music, instead it randomly turns them on and off, regardless of which preset is chosen. In short, I have all the issues that others here have described. Don’t bother purchasing this app until it’s fixed.

This App doesn’t work and I want a refund, but do not see a way via developer support support

I downloaded this app asks paid $6.99; however, Phillips Hue keeps saying connecting. Then for a half a second, add lights and reset bridge shows up, but the buttons are unresponsive. I’ve reset my phone, deleted and readded the app, and I’m on the latest iOS. I have ensured that my phone is touching the bridge, so that is not an issue. I’ve had my Phillips setup for about 5 months now without issue.

Please refund me my $6.99. This is a very bad experience.

Connection issues

I can’t connect this app to my Bridge, the main Phillips app is working correctly and so are other apps with no issues and is wired directly into my hub/router but this app won’t connect.
Even turned everything off and back on, please update, paid for this app and can’t use it, if it’s not fixed I will request a refund

Cannot connect to hue bridge on iPad

It just says connecting, then shows the settings like it’s connected but goes right back to connecting to bridge. iPad is up to date. WiFi and Bluetooth are good. Works fine on my iPhone X.

When connected to my iPhone X, if I get out of the app to look at something else, the lights just stop moving. Which is why I wanted to put it on my iPad so I could use my phone and the lights would keep moving.

I also cannot restore purchases on the iPad from this app.

A lot of fun... but has a drawback

This app is great for changing the lights and making a good atmosphere...

But the phone has to be open to the app and must be unlocked for the lights to continue to perform. It would be nice if they would continue when the phone is locked. Also another upgrade that would make this app stand out is the beats portion would be much nicer if the music could still be played through external speakers rather than needing to be played through the phone.

Sometimes loses control

I’m using the SYLVANIA smart+ Bluetooth bulbs. This app controls them, but after about 5 it starts to lose connection. This could be a Bluetooth limitation though. The other issue I have is when the screen dims and goes to sleep, it loses control over the bulbs. Please make an option for keeping the screen on all the time. Also, it would be nice to have a reset button for the scenes. I’ve played with the settings too much and I can’t find the best setting for candles again 😂. Great app though. Lots of fun!
