## Review summary

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.
