The app worked reliably and the color changes were set quick and easy as I could expect.

And there are other smart light apps that work with these as well

The apps don’t work

There's lots of cool apps (many of which must be purchased) to do fun things with the lights

The app also works great

Love this idea but the lights are worthless without a reliable app

They are overpriced and the app was shockingly crappy.

The app was easy and fun to use, when sliding the hue around it produces some great color

Mostly, I must close the app, clear it from RAM on my phone then reopen it to receive correct switch positions

* app works really well* works with google home pretty

I have installed two additional separate apps that do provide some neat macros and effects, but I really would prefer a much more feature-rich and capable UI

The software takes a bit to figure out, and there are some other apps probably worth a look for more advanced lighting control.

The app sucks

For the price they charge for these things (almost $200) the native app that is used to control the lights is shockingly limited in ability

Good app, too.

rated Smart Home apps

The only downside so far is that there is not a good solid purple in the color range and the app is not very user friendly

The app is far faster and more reliable than insteon's app.

Many of the cool apps that you can add-on cost money which just adds to the cost of the system.

Awesome product, Philips just needs to improve their app!!!

The app is easy to use and the preset scenes work very well

The app is easy to use and the preset scenes work very well

app issue

But, the app is sorely lacking enhancements that would help get the proper experience

There are apps that are helpful, but the native app really needs some work.

still trying to find a decent app to use and also the default white light is soft white(I hate soft white) and i cannot find a way to change it

The app is much better after a recent update as well

The app itself is great, I can get it to do what I want and the lights always work at or away from home

The app is functional, but could definitely be improved

App could use some work

there are free apps that do like a lava lamp feature where the colors rotate, or can have it set to go with music (using your phones mic), or even strobes

The app makes it really easy and fun to use

The app works perfectly and does all kinds of great stuff.

the app is efficient too.

; App is slow, clumsy and you NEED it to have these work

The native app is terrible in appearance and function

I was worried because the wifi signal in my room is pretty weak, it's the farthest from our router in our apartment, but they work perfectly, and the app is awesome, too

The app works great and I even use Siri to control my favorite scenes using HomeKit

I recommend the All 4 Hue app for android users to control these.

But the Mobile App where you need to do the initial setup is really sucks

It’s true you have to leave the lights powered on & allow the app or Alexa to turn the bulbs off or dim them

Only slight concern, the app is a mixed bag

Login Loops, vanishing hubs that won't reconnect, bulbs unsyncing, unable to sync light to hub, terrible app.

The light colors and whites are beautiful, a game changer compared to traditional lighting- Great 3rd party apps with cool lava lamp and party

Thiugh the system is expensive I decided to buy it however it does not work as it says it does

Work as you'd expect it to work

Not as great as it claims

Once in a while it loses connectivity, but usually comes right back as fast as you can repeat the command.
