I feel like whoever designed this just said, “you know what? I’m gonna to just put these buttons everywhere. Then I’ll assign cryptic icons to them with little to no explanation”. At least they don’t refer to it as intuitive. And good, cause it’s not. At all. You’ll have to spend a good long while just farting around with what each section does, then more time trying to figure out how to apply it to one or more areas, then more time if you want to learn how to do any “animations”. Then more money of course if you want to use any of those. Oh, then more time trying to figure out how to organize your “custom” “animations”. I bet you could take a room full of 10 adults and spend more than 4 hours teaching them how to use this app, and they’d come out of there still not being a “pro level user”. It’s just so tedious. The good news is, when you do get it down, it does do the most things with your lights and switches. Though I still find myself using the Hue app just because it’s faster, easier, and I can hand it to a visitor and they can use it without a 2 hour tutorial.

*DO NOT BUY THIS APP!*
I bought this app because it said it would let me play my music and have Discotainment. It also said I could make my own animation. Well yes you have to buy the app for $5 and then another $2.99 charge to unlock the music and $1.99 for EACH CUSTOM COLOR ANIMATION. Don’t buy unless they make it a subscription model or make it free with just in-app purchases. To have both is just a money hungry app where they purposely put limitations on it so you can buy EVERY SINGLE THING if you want the app to do what it says it “can” do.

If the developer believed in itself they would set the price of the app higher if they can’t cover the costs. You get functionality of a free app for $4.99 that you spend on this one. Not worth the headache, but apparently the developer has plenty of time to get on here and write novels in response to other people complaining of the same thing! Don’t argue with customers, that’s never a way to do business.

This review doesn’t add anything new regarding the overcharging of the application and all functions of it. I myself purchased almost everything which will run you over $40 (regardless the 30% apple takes) it is still very expensive. I only mention that because there is a lot of justification for the overcharging. You will find out later (if you own an iPad also) that you have to pay for a new iconnecthue for HD as well. I have 15 lights, three motion sensors and three dimmer switches. This is the better application for doing animations (if I used them). It is also nice for setting up dimmer switches. I ran out of memory on the bridge so I cannot customize my dimmers or anything else. 100 rules maxes out the Hue bridge. Make sure that if you have homepods to set the SIRI commands for iconnecthue on the same device you setup the homepod(s) with. I now create automations in HomeKit and only use timers (when memory allows) with this application.
