Recent reviews

If it’s on an Apple phone, it won’t let you login because it’s too far to the bottom. It’s been like this for about a year now. That I knew of.

I love this app. I used the previous version and waited long for the newest version. What I Like: 1) Ambee uses the richest colors I have ever seen in a Hue app. The reds are the most brilliant. The blues, purples, magentas and oranges are top rate. 2) the new app is exceedingly simple. There is no guessing. And I know this is one of the things the developer paid special attention to. 3) I’ve noticed with other apps there is something that affects switches and white lights which makes it a pain to use. But not Ambee. No interference at all. What I don’t like: 1) The app heavily uses resources and will drain you battery rather quickly. 2) Times-out and freezes randomly.
