Great App for Years but doesn’t work with Hue Bridge Pro :(

I loved this app and have had it for years but unfortunately I cannot get it to connect to the new hue bridge pro. Is this something you could possibly correct? I really hope so! I miss this app!

Hue bridge pro

Thorlight was the best hue app, I paid for all the upgrades and it was awesome. Unfortunately i upgraded my bridge to the Pro and the app no longer works. Please please please update so I can go back to using it.
