"Wished i had not purchased the Hue lamps. If you get a power outage the lamps stay on when power returns. Only way to prevent this is to buy a Bridge so you can edit the power on behaviour. Only way round this issue is to set up a routine with Alexa to turn off lights at a preset time every day Eg 3am or you may find your Hue lights are on when you get back from being away. Certainly wont be buying any more. On the plus side they do integrate easily with Alexa but so do plenty of cheaper ones."

"Not paying before trying, I downloaded this app to see how the temperature widget would and if work with my (Echo Temperature, Govee Temperature monitors) this app wanted me to buy the Premium Version to test it out, ``quite simple no thanks deleted`` Due to health reasons I have to keep rooms a warm temperature & seeing all my temperature 🌡 monitors on screen (widget) would have been just what I need. I will never spend money on an app before seeing 👀 & trying the benefits 1st."

"Wish I could rate 10 stars. If you really want to customize your device settings in your Hue ecosystem, this is the app you need to get. I`ve tried other 3rd party Hue apps and this one gives you the most flexibility IMO. Especially helpful to tweak my switches and motion sensors to program the exact way I want them to operate. I started with the free version, and paid for most of the extras even though the free version did everything i needed it to. Was happy to support a well built app!"

"Good app but 1 improvements would get it to 5 stars: On home screen make it possible to toggle lights on and off by clicking the lights icon, currently they only show the status. You have to click through into the room view to be able to switch individual lights on and off, so this improvement would make it much faster."

"Downloaded it on our Sony Android TV and wanted our great room lights to flash to the movie. It worked on the home screen and before we clicked play but once the movie started no lights worked. Only reason we bought it was for lights to change during the movie."

"It`s a solid hue app. I mainly got this for my watch and ultimately, it does what I want to do, more or less. That being said, I have no godly idea what Wear OS functions I unlocked by paying $3, because everything is the same. Same amount of controls. Same barebones Ui. What gives?"
