User reviews

Thank you

Thanks for the new Bridge Pro support!

Wake-up

My favorite hue app does not work on my new Pro Bridge. I hope it can be fixed.

Love this app

When I got my first Hue bulbs this was the app that made them worth the cost. It stopped working for me at one point and I was so happy when it was updated.

Hue offers a gradual on option for lights that is subpar to this experience. The white light just getting brighter is not as pleasant as the gradual shifting of colors offered here.

My one request would be a sunset sequence to cue bedtime.

Thanks for making this!

Great app

This is a great app. Works as intended and very easy to setup and for that, I GI e it 5 star rating.
Would like to see two additions to make this app really stand out from others
1. The ability to set the final intensity of the lights, so they are not so bright.
2. The ability to creat own personal sunrise/sunset themes with transitioning colours. I would even be willing pay if these features were available.
As it is now, I can’t fault it

Fantastic!

I have been hunting for a way to do a good sunrise simulation for a very long time. This app did it easily. Even better, I can have multiple sunrises at different times for different bulbs, so each family member can have their own sunrise wake-up. Thank you!
