This app is complete JUNK
By Smagin (Pcmac user)
I am not sure why the app keeps taking a step back each they release a new control app. With a V1 bridge and the original app things were good, always worked, always connected and was consistent. They release the new app years ago and I did not transition as it was overly complicated. So again, this app is set the replace the other bad app and my original software. I got caught in a loop for 5 minutes of logging in and it asking to trust the app with the network. Answer yes. And do it again, and again, looping. It finally “took” after 10 attempts. Again, you get none of your settings or scenes from the old app transitioned over. I have daily 20-30 scenes that have accumulated over the lifespan of this product as I was an early adopter. This app clearly doesn’t work consistently and offers no upgrade path from the old client. It’s like I’m a new user. I have been frustrated by the app lack of dedication to the app and I think it’s just easier to get out the ecosystem altogether now. They got too cute with the software and now it will cost them hardware sales. They have too many competitors that have cheaper hardware and you don’t have to fight their software to use them. Thanks for the run, but this app clearly shows your reign as innovator in this vertical is over.

Non-functional
By TECENG (Pcmac user)
So I leave my house this morning, and noticed my color lights are not on. I have three of the original hue color lights (not on) and 2 new white lights that ARE on. I have the original bridge. I get home at night and open the hue app and it suggests I download the new app for the older bridge. The current setup worked fine before today, but I download the app as suggested. Long story short, neither app recognizes the older color lights. They connect with the bridge, but don’t recognize the color lights. Yes, I have power cycled the bridge several times to no avail. So unless a software fix is released, this whole setup goes in the trash. And if hue support tells me to contact them via twitter or Facebook, I don’t use either. How about good ‘ol email? Or God forbid a phone!
Do you actually test your software or are you truly attempting to get me to purchase a new bridge? I noticed there is a convenient link in the app to allow me to make the purchase. What a joke.

Agree
By all nicknames have been (Pcmac user)
I am inclined to agree with the previous reviewer. I keep getting a message saying my app is no longer compatible with my bridge V1. There is no markings on my bridge referring to a V1 or a V2. It does have a model Zig bee and a long number behind it. I tried downloading the App Store version V2 and lost all My themes . I do not use the clock settings so I cannot comment on that.
I agree Phillips has a disconnect between its hardware and software suppliers on what is what. I am very happy with my bridge and lights. I have no interest in having my lights connected to music- that is such a 60’s thing.

So glitchy! Almost not worth using.
By Heathertheh (Pcmac user)
I love my hue lights! They are going strong. But being forced to use this new app with them, makes me rethink every purchasing some again. I keep the lights on a red color at night and if I adjust the brightness, they flash purple and white before changing the brightness. Also when I try to turn on my lights they don’t always work. And once they just shut off. What gives? Please fix since you forced me to use this app.
