Comments on Hue Essentials for Android

★★★★★ 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.

★★★★★ Martin Jelínek · May 5, 2025

Big improvement! All crashes suddenly disappeared, and it seems like that at least the Philips Hue dial can be used perfectly now. It is a big help because with standard Philips Hue app the features for the dial device in particular are almost useless, and cannot be used as a light switch intuitively. Now I can finally customize it and use it as a standard switch with UX everyone expects from a light switch which is the exact purpose of this app.

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

★★☆☆☆ Tim Richmond · Oct 30, 2025

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.

★☆☆☆☆ Gordon Coburn · Apr 2, 2025

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

★★☆☆☆ Lucas Blaney · Aug 25, 2026

Paid for premium access on my tv, but it doesn't work with any of the built-in apps. That makes it essentially useless and pretty much a scam.
