Huedini for Philips Hue User Reviews

Top reviews

Once great

This was once an impressive app, but it has been abandoned and it shows its age..

Can’t turn off sound

Great app but the sound effect is an absolute terrible feature that cannot be turned off. Would’ve been 5 stars otherwise.

Needs work

Nice effects but the fact that you can't turn off or change the audio is a deal breaker.

Almost There

Good app - would love to see the option of no sound and the full functionality of the presets when creating custom loops. Also, I paid the extra $2.99, but it seems like nothing was unlocked at all. May be mistaken.

Great Concept, Not User Friendly

The lights rotate as advertised. You can even customize your loop, which is cool. It's not easy to do, but a great function. The single biggest problem with the app is you can't turn off the sound of crackling fire and thunder. Please provide a way to turn it off !!

Beautiful slow colour transition

Most of apps I have used on hue lights so far have very fast colour transition speed. But this app allows smooth slow colour transition. It even control white light too. I only don't like the dimmer setting on this app. You can't really dim the light too low. So, if you want to have dim light during romantic sex, This app is not the one for you.

Seems like incomplete work

This app barely passes as test code. User interface leaves a lot to be desired.

App dosnt unlock once paid for?

I paid for all the options on this app because I love it so much! But it still times out into demo mode after I have paid? :( please fix this

Needs different sound effects.

I like the light scenes, but the only sound option is a crackling fire that doesn't match the ocean lights very well.

Close the app and lights stop

The app was really cool at first until I realized when you close the app or lock your phone the lights stop. This makes no sense and makes the app pointless. Whos going to leave their phone on all the time?

this app breaks the wifi router

when turned on wifi router goes offline and hue hub disconnects from the router

potentially beautiful app but few critical mistakes

I love how the lights can cycle through predetermined colors because it feels alive and peaceful.

however, after I bought every option this app has to offer, I come to find out that any custom palette I make is missing the "same colors" toggle and the "brightness" toggle. These are the two features that made me like this app in the first place. It looks amazing when each bulb independently cycles through the colors and custom palettes only cycle through colors all at the same time and is not nearly as impressive looking.

on top of that when I bought the unlocking features it clearly states that I would be unlocking all the features... so it's very misleading.

very disappointed. I would gladly re-rate this app 5 stars if it had these features and didn't mislead the buyer. This app has a lot of potential to be one of the best for the hue.

Awesome idea

Very creative design, love that idea heaps, but something need to be improved... If It can be run in the background to set my iphone free... If sound tracks can be changed or more options to selected... If colours can be picked by RGB numerical value... That'd be perfect

Very nice

Good app. Love the different scenes and that fact that I can create my own animated scenes.

Goldee #2? Not quite, but close!

So Goldee was the most elegant Hue app there was until they got hacked and sufficiently destroyed by an ex-employee. It was a VERY disappointing loss.

I haven't seen another worthy contender come along until Huedini (great name by the way!). It's got a similar layout and great recipes... not as elegant but pretty close... but there is one big flaw: THE IPAD HAS TO BE ON, AND IT WONT RUN IN THE BACKGROUND.

That is a major bummer in the usefulness department. I'm supposed to turn Auto-Lock off and drain my battery the whole time I want to set the mood in my house? Not cool.

Goldee did both of these essential things, oh how I miss it. I've been waiting for someone to fill the void. Maybe in the next update...

Stunning

Great for 10+ lights! Colors match perfectly not to mention the best scene capture of all the apps. Highly recommend.

Awesome APP!

This is my favorite APP for the Hue light system! I use it every day! It can run in tandem with the Philips APP. I have lights running a color scheme on the Philips and lights running on Huedini at same time!
I have 3 lights as outside house lights. Huedini runs them through a color pallet on a cycle I can program! White siding and lots of white snow make for a gorgeous bath of colors on the house and surrounding area!! I have 26 bulbs!
Huedini rocks!!!

Quite possibly the worse iOS App I've ever bought.

The interface is extremely clunky, slow, and unintuitive. Portions of it are poorly translated or at least poorly spelled. I'm frankly still not even certain (after reading up and using it) what this app even does.

Asks for extra money too often

I paid for this app. Then in the first 10 minutes it asked for money twice more in order that particular features wouldn't stop working.

I think that this app is a little too keen to leverage more money. The basic functionality that you get for the original app purchase price is too basic/hampered. It cycles the lights for a while and then stops.

Also, the App doesn't work in background which also limits its usefulness.

Until the developer addresses these issues and calms down on the cash collection I wouldn't recommend the app.

Documentation is non-existent

I spent 20 min trying to figure out how to make my own scene loop with this app. I am totally mystified. I don't understand how people put up apps without help instructions.
