## What is Hue Pro?

Hue Pro is a new way to use your Philips Hue lighting system. It provides all the features of the Philips Hue application, such as lighting presets. But it can also be used for scheduling events with alarms and timers. By scheduling an event you can set light presets to come on (or off) at a specific time in the future!
Hue Pro is designed to make using your Hue lighting system much easier and more convenient. With Hue Pro's Geofencing, you can have Hue Pro turn your lights on to a preset of your choice as you walk in your home's door! Or turn off as you leave! Even create multiple "profiles" based on the time of the day and day of the week!

With Hue Pro, you can even control your lights away from home! (Forwarding port 80 on your router to the bridge) Documentation on how to do this is inside the application!

### 1/5 — Can’t connect to bridge

*2023-02-11, version 1.1.3*

Open the app paid version says zero bridge found blank screen no way to get to a settings page just a spinning wheel with no options to exit unless you force close the app.. garbage app

### 1/5 — Hue pro rip-off

*2022-10-19, version 1.1.3*

I brought this app and the crap never found my bridges. Downloaded a free app and the bridges showed up immediately.

### 1/5 — Stupid app

*2022-08-05, version 1.1.3*

When I try to connect it to my hue bridge it doesn’t work

### 1/5 — What a sham.  Wont connect

*2022-02-02, version 1.1.3*

Wont connect to bridge

### 1/5 — Doesn't connect

*2022-01-31, version 1.1.3*

I used to use this app on an Android phine to program my lights.  Now I've switched to a new phone and can't for the life of me get this app to connect to my Hue lights.  All other apps I've tried work fine.  Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2021-06-11, version 1.1.3*

This app I paid for won’t even find my bridge vi want a refund

### 1/5 — Don’t do it

*2020-12-11, version 1.1.3*

The app won’t even find the bridge, or accept a manual entry. Wish I still had that 99 cents.

### 1/5 — It can’t find the bridge

*2020-11-11, version 1.1.3*

I’ve tried everything and this stupid app can’t find the bridge. On my Android phone it found the bridge most of the time, though it was pretty annoying when sometimes it couldn’t. They need to hire a decent network programmer. I not only wasted 99 cents but also a good half hour.

### 1/5 — Terrible & out of date

*2020-11-08, version 1.1.3*

Can’t connect to bridge at all...no options other than to delete. This used to work when the developers actually cared about the quality of this product, looks like they moved on to better projects?

### 1/5 — Presets vanish randomly

*2020-10-31, version 1.1.3*

I spent a lot of time making a preset only to find it has vanished the next day. That makes this app completely worthless. Do not buy.
