Hue Widget App Reviews

This is my go to hue widget. I havent yet found a better looking and more functional hue widget than this one.

When i try to select bridge the program shutdown immedetly

With the latest update the widget doesnt work anymore. Please, update the app as soon as possible. Thank you.

It doesnt work anymore after iOS 9.3 update. Please, update asap.

Love the widget this app offers! Way better than the official hue one. But the app keeps crashing whenever I try to open it, so I cant change any of my color presets! Please fix!!

This app has an excellent widget, it is the first app that makes me want to finally switch from the standard Phillips app. One thing that would improve this app is the ability to create simple dynamic / animated scenes. Also of note: the latest update seems to have removed all of my pre-existing scenes. thankfully they still show up in the widget but when I try to look at them in the app the scene section is empty.

The was a GREAT Widget, but now with the new version its much less useful. The new tabbar is not good. It was easier when I could just see my groups and scenes all at once in a single view. Now I have to switch views for lights, groups and scenes. And where are my Scenes? After updating theyre all GONE!

I have been using this app since the beginning and it has been a great app. This new update took ALL the things I liked about it and ruined it. They added custom scenes from the app... Awesome! Except that they removed the ability to use the Hue main scenes. TERRIBLE. I dont want to have to recreate all my scenes! Additionally, I used to have my scenes below the main controls. Now you have to click a separate button to view them. Unusable. PLEASE bring back the main hue app scenes, and allow scenes to appear below the main controls in the widget like before!

Im impressed that you can ruin an entire apps functionality with one update. Please fix ASAP.

The changes that were made in version 2.3 were... interesting. Using a slapped together recipe in conjunction with the new vertical tabbar to control the lights is inefficient. The apps previous version was much better in this regard (tapping on one scene to control a designated group of lights). The new ability to create scenes within this app is very welcomed. The spectrum tool and selected color identification are solid details. I would like to see the function to load in scenes from Phillips hue app return. This is where all of my scenes are hosted due to the apps geofencing feature. Which brings up enchantment requests. I would actively promote this app if it had the ability to energy efficiently and accurately geofence toggle select scene(s) on/off. Might as well make an app similar to this for Mac, too. There is no good, simple hue light controller for Mac that I have found. Whoever makes a decent hue app for Mac is going to dominate that territory. Overall, Hue Widget is great for what it does and what you pay. Pleasant interface, easy setup, Notification Center access, and stable bridge communication. Please listen to my and other app users feedback! This app is still first on my list to replace the incredibly confusing and clunky Phillips Hue app. This version: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Overall App: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Technology Advisor

I am really enjoying this new update for the widget. I like how you can do individual lights within widget.

Always crashing after the update.. Cant access it even i delete and reinstall.. Frustrating

Lost the ability to use scenes made in the Hue App, which is all I used the widget for constantly. After over a year, Im deleting the app.

App is completely broken now wont connect to anything. Im just getting a new hue controller app. This one is just ridiculous with its "upgrades" available for purchase. Oh wow youll let me change the color if I give you a dollar! Absolutely absurd, goodbye forever

This update ruined a perfectly useful app. The widget does nothing but crash.

Way to ruin a great app. Bring back hue scenes. Put everything on one page again.

What a way to ruin an excellent app. Dont you guys test your updates before pushing them? Do you get together and be like "hey, I have an idea. Lets remove the scenes that people took a while to create. What do you think?" And youre all like "thats awesome. Lets do that. People are gonna love it." :)

No longer able to use my Hue App presets. Why would anyone remove that feature. SMH

I just downloaded this so I cannot speak as to what got screwed up with the update. However I can say Im not a fan of the app anyway. The colors you can select from are not as vibrant or as vast as the colors you can select with the Philips Hue App. I also hate how difficult it is to make scenes and groups and getting them to play nicely together. Some serious reworking needs to happen before this becomes a decent app.

2.4 update completely broke the widget. App would connect to Hue 2.0 bridge but widget shows No Bridge Selected - Please Choose a Bridge Using The App. Tried a few things with no luck. Attempted to reinstall app now just crashes when attempting to connect to bridge. I had no issues prior to update.
