### 2/5 — If it's ain't broke...

*2017-01-07, version 3.0.2*

Don't fix it. And if you do, make sure it works. So far, I'm finding the updated version of the app, while in some ways visually more appealing, not to work as well as the old version. And despite the bug fixes, the brightness controls still don't work correctly.

### 2/5 — New Version is buggy

*2017-01-01, version 3.0.1*

Looks great. Works very inconsistently. Will dim my lights when I set it to max brightness. Then I have to play the game where I flip the slider around until my lights will stay on bright. 

Colors also change all over the place while sliding the brightness. Was flawless before.

### 1/5 — I want my money back!!!

*2016-04-30, version 2.4*

It won't connect to the hue bridge.  This app is total garbage!  Run away very quickly!!!

### 1/5 — NOT WORTH IT

*2015-11-28, version 2.4*

Doesn't recognize all the lights and it creates conflict with the main Philips Hue app. Would like my money back.

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2015-09-03, version 2.4*

This used to be my "go to" hue app. Now it's entirely useless. If they don't fix it, don't buy it!  

Stinks that these silly apps don't put any time into testing and quality. A shame that it's broken now. 

Try something else.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2015-01-17, version 2.33*

Worse than the original Phillips app

### 5/5 — What I was looking for

*2014-12-27, version 2.33*

I just wanted a simple way to manage the Hue lights in my house and this app gives me that.  I'll be using this all the time.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2014-12-27, version 2.33*

An easy to use and beautiful interface!  Nice work!

### 1/5 — Unbelievable

*2014-12-27, version 2.33*

The simple fact that I had to pay $0.99 for this app after buying 3 bulbs for $200 makes me dislike Phillips. And the app is pretty bad, the layout is unnecessarily complicated and difficult to navigate. There also are VERY few options for there to be so much confusion in the app. It could and needs to be so much simpler.

### 1/5 — Pretty Bad

*2014-12-26, version 2.33*

Unintuitive, spotty connection, move along until a better one comes around.
