About Bright for Philips Hue
Bright is the most beautiful, functional, and versatile app for controlling your Philips Hue lights.
Features:
• Complete control over your Philips Hue lights
• Android Wear support - control the color and brightness of your lights directly from your wrist
• Groups - control the color and brightness of many lights at once
• Alarms - set your lights to turn on or off, or to a specific color, at any time of the day
• Dark Mode - saves battery on your AMOLED device, and makes the app much easier on the eyes for night use
• Frequent updates
• No in-app purchases, ever
-----------------------------------------
Use of this app requires a Philips Hue bridge (1st or 2nd generation) and at least one Philips Hue compatible bulb.
To add a group to the Android Wear application, create a group while your watch is connected.
Due to limitations in the Philips Hue API, you must be connected to your home Wi-Fi network when using this app. This can be bypassed in the app by setting up port forwarding with your router and editing your bridge's IP Address.

Nice app, fairly simple. I love that there is an Android Wear app though, just wish there was more control of individual lamps on the watch. App does suffer from random crashes on Nexus 5X as well.

Definitely the most beautiful and simplistic hue app out there but crashes alot. Works nicely with Android wear but crashes whenever I try to open the alarms tab. Would get 5 stars from me if that bug was fixed.

Works perfectly when it works, but will crash every few hours. If you want to use this to control your lights with Android Wear, expect to at least turn the app on once on your phone every night.

Change the color of your lights from your watch. The easiest color selector I've seen, great job!

This is such a nicely designed app. I recently updated the app but I am still experiencing issues, specifically the crashes that happen whenever I open the app. I have a Nexus 5x running 6.0.1. I do appreciate the fact that the developer communicates to us about new bug fixes so I am hopeful that there will be an update to fix this issue in the near future.

I recently purchased a Hue starter kit and the Phillips app doesn't integrate with Android Wear at all. This app is exactly what I was looking for.

New Android Wear integration is awesome. First party developers have no excuse for poorly designed and functioning apps when well built ones like this are available.

I am very excited with the potential of this app, but it still has plenty of issues that keep it from a higher rating.

It was a great app, but now it can't find my bridge. No choice but to uninstall.

After updating my Samsung G925P to marshmallow, the errors have been innumerable. Over 7000 in one week. Outstanding.

I'm unable to enter my bridge address, as this app strips colons from my input, preventing me from specifying a port when editing a bridge address (my bridge is not on port 80). The app also doesn't allow me to manually enter my bridge address during setup (necessary if the bridge is on another network).

Bright is a clean and pleasing interface to control your Hue lights. The first proper use of material design in a Hue app which is an important thing in something that is going to see daily usage! Even has a dark mode!

This is such a nicely designed app. However, I am experiencing issues with the the app, specifically functionality which is very average at best. I am on a Nexus 5x running 6.0.1. Every time, I try to open up the app, it just stops going past the app intro watermark. I am hoping that there will be an update to fix this issue.

Does what you would imagine. I set up my groups then set up individual bulbs as their own group so I have compete control via Wear. Only complaint /request is that can't do white's via Wear..? Can this be looked at please Dev?
