### 4/5 — IKEA

*2020-09-22*

Needs better support for IKEA bulbs, specifically the ones that can go from daylight to tungsten. The controls don’t work. But everything else is splendid and thank you for this app.

### 4/5 — Exactly what I was looking for, but crashes a lot!

*2020-08-09*

Great app in terms of usability and features, I’m using it with the sylvania smart plus bulbs, but it crashes a lot! Hope to see stability improvements in the future.

### 1/5 — Nicht zu benutzen

*2020-07-22*

Anfänglich immer abgestürzt auf iphone und ipad... jetzt geht die app nach 5x neustarten aber er erkennt keine einzige lampe ...

### 2/5 — Great Interface Lack of Switch Support

*2018-09-20*

Love the design of the app. Unfortunately I didn’t learn until after I purchased it, that I can not control on/off switches. It can control all my color changing lights, such as Lifx and Hue, but it can’t control my in wall toggle switches. 

Sadly it can activate scenes I made in HomeKit that toggle my on/off switches, but I have no direct control in the app. 

Would be great if they added that.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2018-02-23*

Asking for a keychain, my original Hue works fine without it. 

Cannot get any response from the developer.  

Want  a refund.
Thanks

### 5/5 — I love this app so much

*2016-04-09*

If you have HK lights, get this. It's like Huemote for HK in a lot of ways, but far more powerful. It's easy to get status and make quick changes, and it's always speedy.

### 5/5 — Klasse und einfach!

*2016-03-31*

Das einzigste was zur all-in-one App fehlt ist ein einfaches Widget mit den Szenen, oder eine Synchronisation zwischen dieser App und Hue Widget.

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2016-02-02*

I've downloaded probably a dozen hue apps and have been disappointed with all of them except this one.  This is exactly what I have been looking for. This apps makes setting up rooms, lights, groups and scenes extremely easy.  Thank you authors!

### 5/5 — Love it!!!!!

*2016-01-28*

After downloading every HomeKit app I could find this is what I was looking for. I use it in conjunction with the one I paid $15 dollars for. I use this app to create the scenes and then the $15 home app to run the scenes and geofencing. If only this app added that and some minor app functionality. (It's a little bit buggy but totally the best app out there) I love this app and now look forward to getting the watch to control my lights so I don't have to find my phone every time I want to change the scene.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2016-01-03*

This is a fantastic app and exactly what I was looking for. I wanted something to work with Siri so I could turn a group of lights off at once. 

The only thing I could think of to improve this app would be the inclusion of a home screen widget. I seem to use other apps to get this done. Other than that it's brilliant.
