Broken app. Unusable bulb.
App now freezes in iOS 13.1.1. Unusable. And because the app is unusable, the bulbs are useless.
Everything was fine till ios13
Had problems every once and while before iOS 13 but nothing major. Now since the update I can’t even change my lights they are stuck on the last setting I had them on which was the least used setting I normally would use just happened to use it that day. Now I can’t even have my lights on in my office because I can’t work with that light setting and can’t change it. The app just sits there and doesn’t respond to anything. Makes my expensive light bulbs worthless if I can’t change them.

This App Will Not Work With iOS 13 onwards
I've had Avea bulbs for nearly 2 years and find this app basic but useful. I updated my iPhone to iOS 13.1 and the Avea app no longer works - it hangs and crashes.
I contacted Elgato who said "Our Avea products have been end-of-life for quite some time now. Hence the Avea app won't be updated any longer, i.e. isn't supported under iOS 13, unfortunately".
So, that's that then, I'll either have to keep an old iPhone at iOS 12.4.1 to allow me to use my Avea lightbulbs or I'll have spend quite a bit of money to replace bulbs that would work perfectly well if Elgato could be bothered to maintain their 'older' products.

Doesn’t work on iOS 13
App basically doesn’t function at all, most just hangs
No longer works with iOS 13
The app and bulbs are now useless under iOS 13. Please update the app. I have tried several other app-controller color changing lightbulbs and none of them even come close to the quality provided by Avea. I don’t understand why they’re no longer being made.
Was ok, needs an update
App hangs on iOS 13. Which means my lightbulbs are useless until there is an update
iOS 13 killed app and bulb functionality
While avea still works with ios12 devices it doesn’t with 13. Whatever Bluetooth changes Apple made and Elgato not updating the app, the app and bulbs are now useless.
Does not work with ios13
Just updated to iOS 13, app does not respond to any gestures. Please fix
Good for waking up on dark mornings. App suggestions
The bulb is great for offering different lighting moods, and the wake up timer works amazing!
I must say that a function that would take this product over the top would be a sleep timer.
Currently there is no timer to turn the light off. As a suggestion a "sleep timer" or count down timer would be great. This way you can fall as sleep with a gradual fade. Similar to the wake up feature.
I plan to buy a few more of these things for around the house and would really appreciate the consideration on enhancing the functionality.
Thanks Folks

Okay, and Doesn’t Work with Apple Watch 4
The description of the app mentions using it with an Apple Watch in multiple places. But there is no way to use this with my Apple Watch.
Needs:
1. A timer to turn lights off.
2. The wake up light starts off way too bright and wakes me up right away. It really needs to start off dimmer.
