Reviews for Hue Light App Remote Control

$20 app struggles. 6+ lights, app crashes, clear cache and lose lights. Lights added to a room wont inherit the scene, must recreate. Color picker is awful. Can't move a light from one room to another. Can't rename lights for easy ID. Rooms can't use a scene you have in another room. Can't group lights and then group groups so can control banks of recessed lights in a big room. If you pair a light and then try to add it back, it won't do it. Reset method doesn't work. Really like a refund.

Deceptive - looks great, looks like it should be the hue app. It's not the real one, which means I connected unknown third parties to a device hard-wired on my network that talks to everything else, and paid into it thinking I'd get the features that are missing because they are on the real app. Should have looked more into it, but this is pretty reckless and dangerous to setup.

full of ads just to use a product you've already paid for

What is this? I'm trying to turn my light on and off via Alexa not watch ads.

I couldn't even use the app. it wouldn't do anything, just had the title of the app with a lamp shining on it but I couldn't go anywhere ect.

Ad filled garbage app. Something I'd expect for cheap lights from Temu.

You should not have to pay for this app for what the lights cost. I'll be uninstalling the app.

It gathers a lot of data and sells it. Don't be fooled. It's also not a free app.

App is damn near unusable. Every second tap causes a 30 second advert to pop up unless you pay for a monthly subscription. It's easier to use the light switch! Update 13/01/24. The response from the devs to another review is that they need the ad revenue to pay for the free app. Sorry but I paid for the app when I bought the bulb. Stop gouging your customers!

forced to go through payment process before seeing anything other than hype. if it really did everything it says it does as well as it implies it does 3 days is far too short a trial period. it's rather short for any trial. so for me the product was just a prop in a high pressure 'open your wallet show us your cards' sales tactic which always makes me hastily retreat a considerable distance.

simply amazing syncs to LED lights and flashes with the rhythm of the music.

its a heavy app and hangs in between...and top it all it gives only 3 days trial. a wastage of time and resources

An astounding number of ads, each of which last 20-30 seconds. Or you can pay $60 a year to avoid the ads. Is that worth it to you?

free app when I bought this expensive lamp, now trying to charge £9.99 a month! Total con, have lost all respect for Philips.

App can not find a bulb to sync, add plays every 2 seconds, or if you hit retry to find the light. Following instructions to factory reset the light, is a practice of insanity, as nothing happens other than you turning the light on, and off expecting a different result.

HAD the app, before an update that now requires me to verify with my bank card!!? NO. Google Home controls it well enough. Dissuaded from buying more from this supplier thanks to this app.

imagine needing to pay a $25 a year subscription to change the color of a light bulb 🙄. i sure do love this age of innovation, where even literally just a remote control requires a subscription

too many ads. makes the app not work. they are ads when a song is playing o. you tube and you tube music have ads like Pandora at this time. they need to fill out a TreasuryDirect.gov Application applying online. Much love, Krystal, Joey's Mommy

Couldn't possibly be worse. I WILL NEVER, EVER BUY ANOTHER PRODUCT WITH THE BRAND NAME PHILLIPS HUE ON IT AGAIN. Relentless adds, impossible to add lights ..oh, and did I mention the relentless adds? And if you think I'm kidding, just see for yourself. You'll see. I will forgo the supposed benefits of 'smart lighst', delete the app, and add a dimmer switch. Literally the biggest waste of time and money I can recall.

I thought this would work wellfor me. I looked at 7 day trial but then monthly rates after trial jump quite a bit. I decided its cheaper to just get the yearly rate. It made more money sense. I was unable to set up and make this work so I wanted my yearly subscription money refunded. I read where google wont do it and you have to contact developers electronically. A total ripoff. No contact from them and no refund. They must really need the money if they have to steal it like this. Good luck..
