Configure?
Terrible App
Does not actually create Home Screen widgets
When it works it's good but then it just stops.

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.
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
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! 👍🏽
