I’m sorry to hear that you’re disappointed about the pricing model. Hue Widgets used to be a paid-up-front app. Unfortunately some customers purchased the app without realizing that you need a Hue Bridge to control their lights, or were not able to connect to it because of unusual network setups. I changed the pricing model to an in-app-purchase to let potential customers try out the app first and have them verify that Hue Widgets works with their setup. Again, I’m sorry to hear that this did not meet your expectation.
Configure?

Terrible App
Response from developer
I’m sorry to hear this. What did you expect that wasn’t delivered? The free version has all functionality but is limited to one room, so you should be able to experiment before buying. Please send me an email at huewidgets@pimnijman.nl and let me know how I can help you.
Does not actually create Home Screen widgets
Response from developer
I’m sorry to hear the app is not working for you. Please contact me at huewidgets@pimnijman.nl so I can investigate and make sure the app works for you as well.
When it works it's good but then it just stops.
Response from developer
Hi! Please contact me at huewidgets@pimnijman.nl so that I can investigate what’s happening.
Worked until it didn’t
In theory it works well and when linked it works well.
But when you reinstall you have to completely rebuild the widgets. I frankly don’t have time to do that every couple of weeks.
So I have uninstalled and won’t be reinstalling
Response from developer
I’m sorry you experienced this. So far I’ve not seen heard any complaints about unlinking bridges. And reconnecting should not destroy your widgets. If you don’t feel like investing more time, I totally understand this. But if you would like to give the app another chance, please contact me at huewidgets@pimnijman.nl. I’ll do my very best to help you out.
Garbage

Hi, I’d love to help you with that. Please contact me at huewidgets@pimnijman.nl.
Good enough
Must have hue bridge for this to work
Response from developer
That’s correct. This is true for all third party apps for Hue. That’s why I mentioned it in the app’s description. I’m sorry you missed it. Feel free to ask for a refund: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084
No option to toggle lights
Better than shortcuts
I would see three improvements in this app, which would make it 5 stars. 1) Toggle on/off lights in one button 2) Visibility in button if light is on or off (colored to toggle) 3) when creating a widget, add a done button. I was confused how to end the process until I understood it is already done.
Perfect
The only thing I‘m missing is an on/off toggle for rooms to put in a widget, so I don’t need to use two fields.
Funktioniert sehr gut
Great solution to a real problem!
This app is addressing a real-world problem I’ve had, and offers a simple, elegant solution. This is engineering at its peak, and in my opinion, the definition of the usefulness of the widget framework Apple has built out.
Setup was SUPER simple and straightforward, and configuring the widgets was very easy. A good UX needs no additional documentation, and that’s a big win here. Everything I needed to know was either clearly explained in the app, or intuitive enough that no explanation was necessary.
This was the best couple bucks I’ve spent on the App Store in awhile, and I’ve used it daily since downloading it.
Does what it says!
Initial connection issue, but works well now

Happy to hear you got it sorted. Enjoy using the app!
Does not discover hue bridge - waste of money

Hue Light Savior
> Simple
> Minimal
> Straight Forward
> Not using unnecessary bright loud ugly icons or colors
> Not using to much blah text to describe blah functions
The official Hue Lights App decided to integrate in to Apple’s Home,,, yuk! Still convoluted and so many buttons to be pressed.
Widget is literally a click on the homescreen.
I am in Zen ⭐️ 🧠 ♥️
Note: “Return to home” so far is working well! 👍🏽
