LampShade.io for Hue & LIFX for Android
This app works perfectly, and does what it needs to do quickly and easily - turn on/off hue lights, group lights, change colors/moods. This is a 5 star app, but the only thing that forces me to give it 4 stars is b/c the widget doesn't currently work properly.
Two taps to turn lights on and off. Changing colour considerably more convoluted and slow. Doesn't accept when another device takes control and resets colours in the background
How do I cancel a light alarm I set for 6am weekdays. I have cleared cache and data removed and re installed the app can't stop it coming on. Now when I go away my lights will be on all day. It's really annoying.
The ability to make looping scenes is my favorite feature. The fact that it's free, no in app purchases or advertisements is a huge plus too.
This is derelict garbage. This heap of unworthy dung throws ads at you. Plus, those ads have sound. Plus, those ads play when your device is sleeping. You already paid for overpriced bulbs. It's immoral to spew ads at you.
Solid UI, easy to use. Unfortunately the app completely drains the battery on my Nexus 5X when smoothly cycling colors (might only happen while away from home).
Does not backup your configurations resulting in lengthy reconfiguration every phone upgrade or device restore.
This app would be amazing if it didn't have so many bugs! It's been over a year since it's been updated! Please update!
Out of the 3 I have
Really liked the ability to be able to change a group of bulbs colors simultaneously on the fly, compared to creating a scene with a single color for every bulb with the official app.
Combining this app with the Hue app is fantastic. Lampshade allows super easy and intelligent adjustment for independent bulbs and groups which then can simply be saved as new scenes in the Hue app.
Better widgets needed that set moods. More moods needed, especially more exciting ones... Where is the community with most people sharing these moods??
For the next review, put the bulbs in the "bulbs" view under headings for each room they're in.
The only app where you can control and change color on ALL lights with one click
Works great, I use it instead of Hues app. Great default scenes too.
Meh. Waste of my time.
Yes, color loop... Yes.... Update: loop isn't working. Used to be the best app out there
Lampshade is a luxury I can't live without.
Best hue widget yet
All other work but not complete support
Open source app with many useful functions the official app doesn't have!
sometimes does what you want
Best application available to manage hue bulbs
Finally a decent hue app!!!
Great app, and free!
I like how customisable it is
Works perfectly
The widget is brilliant and the ux is vastly superior to the official app. The lights without this app are average but with it they're amazing!

I use it for a multicolour sunset routine, which I can set off from a Tasker shortcut. Thanks to whichever really cool dude fixed bridge registration!!
The alarm won't work for Lifix bulbs.
Thanks for fixing the hub connection!! My color loops ate back! Exclamation point!
Does not connect to Hub, power cycled, reseted, still not connecting
Works with latest hue2 update
Love this app, very straightforward UI for color selection.
Hideous color deepness
Great regarding functionality, although some simple tweaks would've made a huge effect. The user interface's appearance could be improved, and it would be nice to have perhaps a forum for people to share and download scenes they've created. Also, a music/rhythm function would've been great.
Great app, it's my go to app when I just want to set a chill scene with only the colors I like. Can we please get the ability to duplicate moods? It's the only thing this app is missing, sometimes I want to reuse a template and only change a few things, I currently have to redo the whole thing.
This app has the ability to set light color by various patterns and timings and cool features like nice home screen widgets. Only a few ui quirks hold it back from being flawless.

I have been experiencing an issue with the app since I purchased my Google Pixel last month. With Android Nougat, I can toggle the display size to either a small or large setting. I prefer using a small size DPI for my phone. All my apps currently work with the configuration except for Lampshade. I do appreciate the fact that you communicated to us previously about the bug fixes on the last update so I am hopeful that there will an update soon to fix this issue.
