### 1/5 — Would prefer the freemium version

*2026-06-27, version 9.2.2*

This requires signing up to try, no thank you

### 5/5 — Amazing x

*2026-05-16, version 9.2.0*

Top notch

### 1/5 — Una di quelle APP…

*2026-04-21, version 9.1.8*

…che sembrano gratis e poi fatti tutti i settings …ti chiedono la carta di credito a cui accederanno e sapranno a quel punto tutti gli affari tuoi e tu non sai ancora se ti piace e la vuoi tenere!!!
Buttata all’istante!!!
Va specificato PRIMA che avrai sette giorni di prova SE metti la carta di credito, non te lo possono dire dopo che hai fatto tutti i settings e ti sei scocciato a farli!!!
☮️

### 3/5 — Naja!? Zu teuer

*2026-04-10, version 9.1.8*

Was kostet hier 45euro???
Funktioniert aber ist das den Preis wert? Und wenn dann. Ur einmalig.

### 1/5 — Stop dumping legacy

*2026-02-22, version 9.1.7*

Another bridge dump - don’t network just leave the hardware as is

### 2/5 — Teures Spielzeug

*2026-01-20*

Für den Anfang ganz nett. Doch die Funktion dahinter ist sehr simpel und man kann sich da auch selbst eine gute Lösung schaffen. Dazu der Preis … 4 Euro für etwas, was man nicht täglich nutzen wird ist es leider nicht wert. Zumal wieder alles als Abo verkauft wird und man überhaupt nicht abschätzen kann wie sich die Qualität der App entwickelt.

### 1/5 — Wont connect to my Hue Bridge Pro.

*2026-01-18, version 9.1.4*

I’ve tried always but no joy. I have since deleted the app and use Hue Party with no problems.

### 1/5 — Why

*2026-01-03, version 9.1.4*

Followed directions and will not connect. Not user friendly

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-12-29, version 9.1.4*

Impossible to figure out how to get even one bulb connected. Too much jargon, too much assumption. Wasted my money on bulbs and on top of this they want $70 a year for using it? Diabolical

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work at all

*2025-12-25, version 9.1.4*

Don’t make me subscribe if you can’t offer an app with the basic features you pretend to offer!
