My backup for the official Hue app. Which stopped working, so this app has been a lifesaver, especially because it doesn't need the Philips bridge to function
★★★★★Ryan Baumann· Jan 9, 2026
Actually sane experience. The Philips Hue app is nuts, they have a sleep function that first brightens your lights before dimming them for some reason. Hue Essentials has a sleep option that just dims the lights over a period of time, it actually makes sense. Hue Essentials was made by people for people, Philips Hue was made by drones for nobody.

If you don't have a Pixel 6/6 Pro - then this app is phenomenal. I've loved everything about it. I stopped using the proper Hue app and stuck to this for years. However, ever since I switched phones to a Pixel 6 Pro, I can't use the feature that made me the happiest - Dance Sensation. Never had issues using the internal phone mic to sync the lights before. But now, when active, the lights are dead as if it's not picking up any sound. Looking on Reddit, seems to be Pixel 6/pro specific. 😞

Bought the premium version only to find out you still have to pay extra to use certain effects. Poor show

It's a solid hue app. I mainly got this for my watch and ultimately, it does what I want to do, more or less. That being said, I have no godly idea what Wear OS functions I unlocked by paying $3, because everything is the same. Same amount of controls. Same bare bones Ui. What gives?

It used to be really user-friendly to add devices. Now, you have to tear down Philips outdoor fixtures to look for a serial number. The bridge disconnects, and you have to reboot the app. It only tells you to connect to the Wi-Fi. The support community is not much help. It looks like they just want you to spend a lot of money on lights and pay for add-ons. Looking for alternatives at this point as it is not worth the extra money.
