We Hue for Philips Hue User Reviews

Crashing and won’t open after updating phone to 14.2

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

iPad version?

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

Developer clearly has good art taste

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

Great app!

I could not download the official Phillips app because my phone was too outdated.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.

Better than the Philips app

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.

Nice app

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

Requires an account, ew.

Nope.

Would be good if it worked properly

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.

Excellent Product

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

So easy to use

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

Software update

I am trying to connect to the bridge and I get the message that I need to update the software for the app. There is nowhere in the app to do that. I have deleted it, reinstalled, etc. I finally connected using the Apple Home Kit and use the Home Kit to control the lights.

My primary light control app

Have been using this app for a few weeks now, and must say that I like the smoothness of swiping through the rooms and so on. With a few additions like scheduling, I can see this becoming my primary tool for controlling my light system ;-)

Intuitive controls - need enhancements to scheduling

My wife and I like using Hue especially in the bedroom where we have 2 Hue lights in our table lamps on each side of our bed and a light strip on top of the armoire. While our primary on/off control in the bedroom are the Hue switches we each have on our respective bedside tables. My wife primarily uses routines and scheduling through out the week to softly wake ourselves and the kids (upstairs) as well as automatically turning on lights in the evening.

While the We Hue app includes this function on the common page, it takes her a little more thought than She/I would like to set up the many timers we use. My suggestion (request) would be to enhance the scheduling function to be more like Hue’s or even somehow part of the iPhone calendar function. Please make sure it is as easy to use as the overall We Hue app itself.

Great for my iPhone

Downloaded the other day after installing my Hue kit and it is wonderful app. Like the photo buttons. Find it easy to use. I searched and could not find android version for my Husband. Will this also be made available?

Easy to use

This app has simple interface and great features. Easy to find bridges. Great job.

Happy with this app!

Awesome app. Used it for few days and happy!

Great battery usage

I am a Hue addict and probably used all apps out there by now. This one is good especially with the realization it’s v1. One thing I observed within a day. That is, battery usage is low. Some of the other apps out there drain your battery and happily rank at the top in terms of battery usage. We Hue, no sir.

Maybe not for everyone but really like the way multiple bridges are handled

Basically the app allows you to add multiple bridges. When added, and operating the app you wouldn’t even know multiple bridges are working in the background. Nice. I have 4 bridges myself. Yeah I know. It’s a bit nutty but I have been an addict ever since the day Philips brought Hue to market. Basically I use the bridges to split my home in sections like the basement, downstairs floor, everything outside around the home and upstairs. With most apps it’s impossible to manage a setup like that. With this app it exactly works as it should. Even better would be if I can create my own master groups. Maybe a next version?

Got for Christmas, looking forward to hosting new years eve

These Philips Hue lights are a gem. Can’t wait to host my annual new year’s eve guests and show off my new hue system. Set and change the evening’s atmosphere changing my colored lights. Like the We Hue app. It seems so simple to flip through my 3 rooms and set different scenes and settings. I plan on making a few presets that I can use myself in the next day or two. Let’s see. Happy New Year.

Nothing more to wish for, unless

Have been using the app now for a few days and must say that I find very few reason to use any other Hue app by now. Basically it has all. I can access my rooms, lights, controls, change base settings and the color picker is great. The easy access to scenes (and love the white ambiance buttons) is also good. But … was trying to change one of my dimmers (use one of the scenes under the on button) and noticed that We Hue doesn’t allow me to change those settings with my dimmer. So an absolute 5 star if We Hue can make sure all settings can be controlled. For now 4, because I do like it !!
