Hue Notification Switch

Phillip let everyone know (maybe help section in settings) that 1. you swipe down to show notifications then 2. swipe down on the actual hue app notification to expand the settings to show arrows to toggle groups.... Great App 5 stars just one bug it occasionally disappears from notification area and has to be re-launched

Stopped working all of a sudden. I can still turn the lights on and off, but when I try changing the brightness nothing happens.

One of the things I loved most about this app is broken. I used to love how the notification would disappear when I'm not connected to my home wifi. Now, the notification remains and says it can't connect. Please fix.

Having trouble with this app since a few weeks. Dimming the lights doesn't work anymore. Response time for turning on and off is inconsistent lately

The old app, which I still have on my other phone, dims smoother and in finer increments. The notification keeps expanding instead of staying compact. I don't like it.

The app stopped working. Lights turn on and off, but you cannot change the brightness anymore. Please fix this!!!

Why would a notification switch have to transmit 360MB of data over 10 hours? From midnight until about 10AM, 360MB! No other app I have comes close to this data footprint.

Love the new UI, I would reduce the height of the notification card, and would love to see a way to switch themes, but this is simple, solid and sufficient for most use cases!

Stopped working. Re-install won't work. Switching lights on/off works, dimming lights doesn't work.

Excellent. Works as described.to access other features / lights ,swipe down on the notification and then swipe down again on the hue notification. Make sure your router has the hue bridge on a static ip address so you never lose connection.

Works well, tho occasionally disappears from my notification bar. Very helpful. Preferred the older design.

Fast, light, and intuitive. Not as polished or customizable as chrome but great UI and fullscreens options. Don't know why beta, never crashed on me.

Nice and simple, however I see "waiting for connection" most of the time since I've changed the IP of the hue bridge. Other hue apps work from the same device.

Just about works but I can't adjust the brightness using it, limiting its usefulness

New functionality is great but why is the app using over a gigabyte of data a month in the background?

Perfect. I'm a loving the new update. Much more responsive and no longer disappears from the drop down shade.

It was a quick way to change the brightness of the lights, but it stopped working and no update to fix the issue has been released

Please change it back. It used to be great.

Gotta keep turn it on off on off for it to stay on

Crases upon launch :/

Great app for phones or when you forgot to turn of the lights

Great!

dont works

Old UI was way better

Discontinued

UPDATE: User error. Sometimes doesn't open automatically but will update again if it works better on my new phone. Was amazing. After latest update I can no longer cycle through the groups unless there is nothing else taking up the notification bar.

App was great before the major update. Now it constantly crashes and is too complicated. Give us an option to use the old layout.

Worked before the update, now it just crashes and drains my battery! S6

Edit: the app used about 1.5 GB of wifi data this month alone, even though I haven't used it at all. I feel like something fishy is going on and have uninstalled the app for now. Be wary. Old review: I think it's awesome that you keep updating the app, however I really dislike the new version over the old one. I don't want to use the groups from my bridge, because there are too many. Removing them broke my dimmer switches. I cannot use the app in one instant, because the buttons to select a group are missing. Please don't remove old functionality, but add to it! I'd really like the old version back.

great app but please bring back old icons and easier room switch like before!

The Nougat update works really well! Is there a way to cycle through room by tapping on the room name? Right now I have to expand the notification and than click on the arrows. Clicking on the room name seems more efficient to me.

I don't usually write reviews to be honest but this time I need to voice e my opinion. This was a great app 5 starts for functionality for what it is designed to do. Purchased it on my phone and my partners in fact. However waking up to find the update had installed was disappointing. The app doesn't work like it did and all my light groups had to be reset up to get it working. Notification has stayed visible all day whilst out whereas old version would hide when away from home. ********update******* I am using this app on oneplus 3t and on android 6 I was having the problems. Now one plus have released android 7 update to nougat it works a lot better so giving 4 stars now instead of 3

Great app. I but how do I stop the app from closing? Sometimes I go turn off lights and I have to relaunch the app, can I stop this from happening?

It has the functions I need

Simplicity was beautiful. Now the switch is complicated. I prefer the old version. Please give an option to choose a "classic" version. Hey, this app also broke my dimmer switch!!! The old app, which I still have on my other phone, dims much smoother and in finer increments. Why would you destroy what was a good app? :(

Love the new UI, but there are a couple things I would tweak if given the option to: A) Notification card seems to be taller than it needs to be B) Position of the increment/decrement brightness buttons seems reversed on my phone (increment shows up left of center, and decrement appears right of center)

Please change it back. It used to be great.

I have several people in my house using this app and I don't want all the same groups that everyone else has. I would just use the Hue app if that is what I wanted. Hopefully functionality get reverted back to what it was. I don't mind the new look though.

This is a fantastic app that would be well worth paying for. That you continue to develop it for free and with no ads is amazing. I like some of the changes in the latest version but would like to still be able to just click on the group name to jump to the next one rather than having to expand the notification to do this. Thanks again for your generosity!
