It pains me to say this…

BAD APP.. i have sent this developer several emails about his app not working, and not connecting to the hue bridge.. he said, ya, lots of people are reporting that.. but nothing is ever done.. or fixed…

Siri Shortcuts not working

After the latest app update all my Siri Shortcuts stopped responding. iOS 26.7

Just ok.

It would be nice if the scene would keep playing (even with timer set) without needing the app to be opened constantly. The hue scenes can do it but the hue app doesn’t have as many options as this one.

Battery killer

The app doesn’t appear under the background app refresh list in Settings, so it’s impossible to keep the app from absolutely nuking your battery 24 hours a day. This thing drains like 40% overnight just sitting there doing god knows what with it’s background processes.

Hors de prix

Je cherchais une fonctionnalité précise que l’app officielle Philips n’a pas (un scénario de lumières qui s’éteint tout seul pour dormir) et que celle-ci semble avoir. Mais l’achat est un abonnement !?? On se fiche du monde ? Je veux bien acheter une fois, mais pas tous les mois 👎🏼

Great App but will make your battery hot (multiple devices)

It’s by far the best hue app in the market but the app will make your phone battery hot. I thought perhaps it was just a device whose internal consumable battery was failing, but the issue with battery getting hot occurs across multiple generations of devices. I just have to be certain that I’m not running any other apps at the time so that my phone doesn’t eventually overheat (iPhones)

Love this game

This is amazing

The BEST light app out there!

This is my favorite light app ever! So many great, fun choices and the customer service is amazing as well. Highly recommend!!

Expensive but good

Most of the features require a monthly subscription. There are a few free but not worth it in my opinion. They want $4.16 cad a month. To much to change light colors

Super Bowl Halftime Show

Great lighting experience! Thank you! I didn’t think you would have it but you sure did!

Doesn’t work well

Every time I select an effect like candle light or fire, it works fine as long as my iphone is open. But whenever the phone goes to sleep the effect stops. That is insane, what am I supposed to keep my phone open all night

Love this!

Love watching NFL games with this app, really hope you guys have plans to sync with World Cup Games

No More LIFX Support?

I started using this app years ago and even had a premium subscription. I wanted to use my outdoor LIFX lights that I’ve used in the past but it seem LIFX is no longer supported.

Fraud

On the app description it says it supports LIFX light. I paid the premium in the past and it worked!!! Now they have LIFX working on their app description but on the support page it says it used to work not anymore! So where's my refund?

Where are the shows I bought?

Had a bunch of light shows unlocked that I paid for and now it is very hard to find them. Seems extremely deceptive now. Where is the owned section?

Desafortunado retiro de función en segundo plano

Yo compré varias escenas cuando estaban a la venta, era feliz cuando activaba mis escenas y funcionaban en segundo plano, ahora solo funciona mientras esté abierta la aplicación, se detienen las transiciones si cambio de app o se bloquea el dispositivo, no es justo ya que yo pagué en su momento por el servicio, ahora piden una suscripción para que funcione como antes, aún teniendo Comoras en la app

Do you like software?

What if I told you that you could buy the same software every month for eternity!

Less NBA than before?

I feel like I was able to use the lights for all of my team's regular season games before and now there is support for barely any NBA games.
