## What is We Hue for Philips Hue?

LIMITED TIME OFFER: Download for FREE now

Ease of navigation and control, ALL in ONE
You ain’t seen nothing yet. It’s all about making your experience seamless navigating your Philips Hue lights. We don’t like going back and forth in many list views. That’s why in our app we have created an all in one view where we bring all key elements together. You can easily swipe your Rooms from left to right. Flick a Room, quickly set a timer, schedule an alarm, change your Hue lights using scenes or white ambiance preset scenes and easily change the setup of a Room. We love, We Hue. Enjoy

Drop that MASTER GROUP
It all starts with the Room or Group in mind. From your Room, you can control, pick a color, select scenes, quickly set white ambiance scenes, create your own, change lights or quickly set any of the routines. Use the brightness dial to adjust the atmosphere of the Room. Rooms are connected to a master grouping like “Downstairs”. Drop down the menu at the top and make your selection. Rooms are automatically filtered

MULTIPLE BRIDGEs
The We Hue app seamlessly integrates multiple Philips Hue bridges. You wouldn’t even know when using the app you had more than one. Remove or add a new bridge at any time

Cool features: FLICK that SWITCH
You like flicking the switch “old style”. Just SWIPE the Room or Group up or down. Swiping the Room button will turn your lights ON or OFF. Switching your Philips Hue lights was never so much fun

PICK that COLOR
Tap within the circle of a Room or Light to open a versatile Color Picker. Within you can change the color of your Hue lights, change color temperatures, use color favorites, create presets and have access to a collection of beautiful scenes. Preset scenes are powerful and allow you to manage and keep your own created scenes for later

WAKE UP Hue Lights 
In need for comprehensive scheduling of your Hue Lights? Tap the Timer Icon to access a broad selection of Routines. Ranging from quick timers, you might want to turn off lights in your living space after a short while going to bed, to more advanced scheduling options like Wake Up allowing your bedroom to be lit with your Hue Lights gradually fading-in giving a good start to any day

PERSONALIZE
We love to add that personal touch throughout our app. Tap the camera and selected a Photo from your collection. Take a picture of your living room for easy reference or add a picture of your family members to easily identify a bedroom. Enjoy  

POWERFUL Master Button
A Master Button was never this powerful. Use the button to quickly turn your lights in the selected Master Grouping on or off. Press it harder and with 3D Touch you’ll get access to some quick links with which you can control all Philips Hue lights across your Home

SWIPE that Resource List
Quickly manage your Philips Hue resources. You can Add new resources, Delete existing ones, and Change their settings. Use the + symbol top-right to add a new resource to one of your Philips Hue bridges. SWIPE left or right to remove or change settings

WHAT’s REQUIRED?
We Hue works will all bridges square or round. We Hue requires iOS 10.0 or later and users can control Philips Hue from their iPhone

### 1/5 — Crashing and won’t open after updating phone to 14.2

*2020-11-08, version 1.1.3*

Is there a patch or something?! It won’t open and keeps crashing after the update.

### 5/5 — iPad version?

*2019-03-15, version 1.1.3*

This has been great so far. Would love to have an iPad version of it.

### 5/5 — Developer clearly has good art taste

*2019-01-07, version 1.1.3*

The developer of this app clearly has very good taste on art and design. Just one step further. Excellent user experience.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2018-12-26, version 1.1.3*

I could not download the official Phillips app because my phone was too outdated. This app does everything I could ask for and more! Schedule the lights, control my rooms, the UI is intuitive. It does take a little reading to figure out the controls, I wish there was an option to donate to the creator. Absolutely awesome app. 
Thank you.

### 5/5 — Better than the Philips app

*2018-11-09, version 1.1.3*

This is a great app easy to use. It has a simple and visually pleasing interface. 

I’ve been using now for a couple of weeks and no bugs identified works perfectly.

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2018-11-01, version 1.1.3*

Great, clean interface. One question though, will this be available for Android the near future.

### 1/5 — Requires an account, ew.

*2018-08-17, version 1.1.3*

Nope.

### 2/5 — Would be good if it worked properly

*2018-03-08, version v1.1.1*

Saw this thought great looks like everything I need all in one app however it would appear that the ‘routines’ do not work I’ve tried many times to set a routine for the lights to come on at a certain time and keep getting a ‘failed’ message. The scenes are nice and work. The groups keep telling me it’s locked so I can’t do anything with that either. Despite your ‘major update’ not so long ago this app seems a bit broken. I’ve given 2 stars just for the scenes of the rest of the app gets fixed and works I’ll definitely edit this review.

Edit: I sent an email to support via your website the very same day I posted this review however the web form didn’t seem to work properly as I was writing out my email in the required field and couldn’t see anything I was typing and I’ve not had a response.

### 5/5 — Excellent Product

*2018-01-29*

Easy to set up and use. Congratulations to the folks at Happy Hippo!

### 5/5 — So easy to use

*2018-01-14, version 1.0.1*

Love it”
Was looking for an app that was easy to use.   Really like the user interface.  Nicely done!
