User Reviews

Reviewers consistently praise Lighter for its extensive Hue scene library and strong Philips Hue integration, and many find it fun and frequently used. However, the recurring cost is a major downside, with most advanced features locked behind a steep yearly subscription and no monthly option. Additional drawbacks include connectivity issues with Hue bridges, crashes, and battery drain from background activity. Overall, strong Hue-focused lighting experiences come at a high, opaque cost and reliability concerns.

Pros

Extensive library of scenes and color schemes with many options.
Strong Hue integration for Philips Hue lights; highly valued by Hue users.

Cons

Very expensive yearly subscription; no monthly option.
Most features are locked behind the paywall; free capabilities are weak.
Inconsistent Hue bridge compatibility and connection problems (including Hue Bridge Pro).
Crashes and stability issues.
Background activity drains iPhone battery.

Not only do you have to pay full price every year. You can use on only device. I wanted to use it on my iPad as well as my iPhone but no. I wish I could give you no stars . Greedy freaking criminals.

The subscription for this app is even more than other similar apps—and they have a free trial period, but this app doesn’t. If I’m going to pay this much for a subscription, I would like to know what I get with it—not just a picture of what it is. Also, there has not been an update for two years, which means a subscription is USELESS if you aren’t coming out with new features/scenes. And your app DOES NOT WORK with the new bridge pro. Don’t try to charge people a subscription if you can’t do your part.
