Good, but…
Probably the best app for Hue light systems, but I positively despise the touch implementation on the Light Control screen. The slightest missed tap on any given lighting group activates the slider that takes you to the detail screen for the light group.
This makes simple taps on any given icon very frustrating.
The correct implementation would be for only a tap on the > icon to activate the slider.
Please fix.

Continually being charged
This is not coming up in my subscriptions. I can’t cancel it. I didn’t realise I’d be charged again and again for this! STOP charging me! Not worth it. How dare you keep charging.
Good app
Tokyo & Wonderland are faves
Slow app fix it!
The app is slow you can fix it!
Ambient sound
Looked everywhere. Can’t control (turn off) what is sometime the VERY annoying ambient sound.
Response from developer
New button added on the experience bottom sheet to mute the sounds and this is saved as well.
No use outside UK
When I am outside of the UK I can’t connect to this. You have no motion sensors connected to your bridge is the error message. Hue has no problem connecting.
Power cut option should be free
The fact you have this option behind a paywall is crazy! It should be a primary, standard FREE feature in the original Philips hue app.
App does not connect to Bridge
Running iPad Pro or iPhone, can’t connect to bridge, making it uselesss.
Garbage
Unresponsive, slow, no updates, no response from the developer. Please avoide this app
Family Sharing Problem
I purchased the app and upgraded to the Pro version great app and I’m enjoying all the different lighting options .
Problem came when my wife downloaded the app we are on Family Sharing but she is expected to pay another £4.99 for the pro version .
Money not the issue just expected it to be shareable with family members on the same account .

Stop working
Can not find hue bridge I gave up
Not maintained at all
No update in over a year. Dev could not care less about optimising it to function well with the ever changing nature of iOS..
Therefore this app is poor in quality, integration, speed - along with having several bugs such as freezing
Only one third party Hue app on here is still genuinely worked on.. and it’s the only app that should still be allowed to have money collected from.
Have requested refund with Apple as it’s my right to withdraw from a non-working purchase

Better alternative to the official app!
After Philips announced they were requiring account setup on their app to even use the product you bought before this change for “security,” I decided to venture to different options to control my hue lights. Luckily a buddy told me about HueDynamic, and I installed and setup everything like I would. I love the interface more on this app, and the added effects built in really made this worth the purchase of getting pro as well. Thanks!

Wonderful app, just needs one small feature added
We’ve had lots of fun with it this Halloween by using a motion sensor, my existing hue landscape lights, and a Bluetooth speaker to scare unsuspecting people approaching the front door.
It would be even better if I could choose multiple experiences to trigger from the one motion sensor, so it would either play an experience at random (from the ones i selected), or make a “playlist” of sorts that it would go through if it continued to be triggered over a short period of time.
Also, the ability to schedule the trigger on and off times would be awesome, as I like to leave it running, but hearing the creepy heart beat and “Paaaaaaybaaaaack!” Voice when I go out to check the mail in the morning doesn’t really work. Haha

Just Ok
Tried it out. One big problem for an app that claims to do everything for hue. It has no way to find your previously created scenes. Ok no problem I’ll just recreate them in this app. Oh wait where is it, can’t find it, it seems this app cannot create scenes.
My whole reason for trying this app was so my daughter could use her smart button button to set a specific scene either during the day or during bedtime (for her night light). You see we built her a loft bed and she need to be able to toggle on a non-blinding light from two very specific lights in her room but only during specific times (during bedtime). I can do this in the normal hue app except I have to set the same scene for 5 presses, but guess what happens on the sixth press (even if it hasn’t been pressed for hours), everything shuts off even her tv that we have programmed to a smart switch. I don’t need the tv turning off during the day, only during the night. This is not achievable with the hue app and is apparently not with this one either.
My suggestion is keep looking if you want actual usability instead of just pretty pre configured light shows.

Response from developer
You can create scenes and they can also be applied to any room with our OmniScene technology. Scenes are no longer tied to just the room in which you created them.
Always liked and used this app.
just bought full version. They have a one time purchase model. That is the main reason I paid.
Obviously it rocks for hue control.

Setting the moods
HueDynamic has some great “experiences” that get you up and running like a pro, setting many different lighting modes with sound effects. Put the Christmas lights up with just a push of a button. Halloween, no problem, there’s a button for that too.
Thanks for a great app!
Thanks for a great app!
Unintuitive
All the functionality is there and works well. It’s just so confusing to use. The interface needs some work.
Very good supplement to Hue experience
A great deal of fun. 2 feature requests. Not complaining just 2 things that would make more awesome. First is update to take advantage of the gradient light strips. Second is better music/disco functions vis a vis light templates.
Terrible App
This app is a piece of garbage. All the effects are like a strobe light. Nothing is chill. They all flicker your lights like a rock show at full energy. Id give this -5 stars if i could
