Top Pcmac Reviews

Great

By Mark36 (Pcmac user)

Updated review. I love this app. But I one-stared this app in an earlier review after almost a year, when the developer rolled out version 2 that crashed instantly on startup, with no clear solution, instantly transforming the app from great to utterly useless. Developer fixed the problem and the app is back to its old greatness. I will be more reluctant to upgrade though; having been a software developer for a decade in a previous life, rolling out defective software like that was inexcusable; in my day someone would have been fired over a wide release so poorly executed. I hope these guys aren’t writing self-driving car software! Going forward, I’ll wait until a few days go by before upgrading this app; I won’t just auto upgrade it as I did in the past. It gets five stars because it’s a great app. Just make sure any upgrade is stable before downloading; in my case this app had become my sole way to control nearly two dozen Hue and LIFX bulbs in my home, it’s that good. But when the app crashed, I lost the ability to control them (some don’t even have mechanical switches anymore) and was at the mercy of the developer to fix it. Not fun.
Great lights but unethical purchase model

By Everry other name is taken! (Pcmac user)

Here’s the scoop: the scenes and/or albums for purchase are subject to be removed from the app in the name of the variety. Save for a recent disclaimer on the new holiday scenes, there is no transparency as to if/when this will happen to other purchases. Once the scene/album is removed, there goes your $.99-$3.99 purchase. This would be fine if there was full disclosure that your purchase is actually a rental, but again, there’s no transparency. You could purchase a scene and be none the wiser that it will be removed in a week. This was found out by users after their money was taken when previous albums were removed. I wish I had known this before I purchased scenes. I’m glad they made the disclaimer for the holiday scenes (probably because of users getting the word out in the forums), but I won’t make any additional purchases until the “keep your purchase” policy applies to all scenes. Or at least until it’s made clear which purchase is a rental. In sum, buyer beware.
Dev should be hired by Phillips

By c-b-w (Pcmac user)

I am glad I found this app. Otherwise I would have been fairly disappointed with the Hue system. This app opens up the full potential of the Hue. Color changing lights to the beat of music. Its very creative. The fireworks are amazing. I bluetooth’d the music to a speaker system throughout the house and i have four lamps throughout the first floor and they all flash differently. It looks like a rave. I hope they continuously release new ones. It would be nice if you could tell which had music and which were just scenes. I would also like an option to buy all and all future releases. Put it up there for like 50$ or whatever. I would get that in a second and im sure others would as well. Outstanding app!!
Exspencive but Worth it

By Sayheyjayray (Pcmac user)

I’m happy with the animated scenes though wish there were a few good disco types along with an included TV camera or interface to make that an all in one and definitely a camera roll color matcher; this COULD be the only hue and smart light app a person needs at all!...but these are just wishes. One Switch does what it does well and much simpler than other apps I’ve tried. I love matching my mood so easily. The subscription option is too much though but they do still allow for one time purchases for scene packs. Lower those prices a bit and this is gold. All said, I’m happy with this app and the packs I’ve bought. Please allow for the sharing of the app and settings with family members soon will you? We have spent all this money for the house and I wish my wife could also use this app on her phone too now instead of always asking me to do it for her! Help a guy who loves you! Thanks One Switch.
