Configure?

Won’t connect hue hub?

Terrible App

Do not waste your money on getting a full version !!!

Does not actually create Home Screen widgets

AVOID!!!!! Asks for money and does not do what it’s supposed to.

When it works it's good but then it just stops.

Once in a while the widgets just stop working and now the app won't even open the home page.

Hi! Please contact me at huewidgets@pimnijman.nl so that I can investigate what’s happening.

Worked until it didn’t

I have had the app for two months. I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall twice every so often because it unlinks with bridge.

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

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.

Good enough

Until the official hue app adds this

Must have hue bridge for this to work

Must have hue bridge for this to work, does not work with hue lights alone

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

This app is doing the same thing an iOS shortcut can do. If you are looking for a way to toggle hue lights with one widget this is not the app for you. Disappointed I had to pay $2 to find this out.

Great solution to a real problem!

So look, the official Hue app is cool but it has some usability issues, and offers nothing in the way of widgets. I’ve been struggling to make some band-aid fixes to automatically set animated light scenes via Shortcuts and Home integrations, but nothing has been successful….until Hue Widgets!

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!

I finally can control Hue via iOS widgets.

Initial connection issue, but works well now

I got an error when first attempting to connect, but it works well now and does what it states.

Happy to hear you got it sorted. Enjoy using the app!

Does not discover hue bridge - waste of money

Buggy, waste of $2.99 actually and you can’t get a refund.

Please contact me at huewidgets@pimnijman.nl. I’m sure I can help you out.

Hue Light Savior

Thank you for making this widget:
> 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! 👍🏽
