This was a fantastic app until you updated it, and now our request requesting me to pay for something I already paid for. Whoever is in charge needs to reverse this decision. Why should I buy your lights if you’re gonna charge me more later than to operate them totally ridiculous!
I think it’s a bit shady this is a paid app that then locks most features behind an additional subscription. Ive seen other comments with the developer defending this by saying you can also buy individual feature à la carte without a full membership.
And yes, you’ll see these marked in the application as “try free”—but it’s not free, since you had to pay to download the app. I think this app has a lot of potential, but please be aware that your first purchase is paying for a demo.
EDIT: Adding following the developers response.
To say 2/3s of features are available is again misleading. Take Animations for instance- one of the listed features in the app description. I counted over 60 animations available in your app. Only six of them are included in the base price.
No one would reasonably expect that they would have less than 10% of a feature listed in the description when making an actual purchase.
If I had three apples and let you take a single bite out of two of them - I couldn’t conscionably say you paid for 2/3s of my apples.
I don’t think this is a poorly designed app, I just think you’re being opaque about what is available at what price.
You responded with a “magazine” analogy and described the options to buy one issue or a whole subscription. But you have always been able to flip through magazines before purchasing them.
And if I thumbed through a magazine and saw it only contained 10% of the cover story, then I certainly wouldn’t buy it.

Wow I love paying to get an app and then forced into a subscription to get use out of it…
Pay to download a base app and get almost no functionality (much less than the Philips Hue app), you then need to pay for a base membership to get a few free samples of the pro membership items but will need to individually buy them (not as much functionality as the Philips Hue app yet), finally you need to pay for a Pro membership to get full functionality and get all the animations/scenes for “free” (same as the Philips Hue app, but iConnectHue has more animations). Only get this if you are sure the Philips Hue app does not have the animations you need and know this app has it.
Comparison:
Color change: Philips Hue app matches all versions of iConnectHue
Scenes: Philips hue app has more scenes than the base iConnectHue version of the app and the basic membership, but has a better ability to modify the scenes (even beats the pro membership)
Animations: Philips hue app has more animations than the base iConnectHue app and the base membership. The pro membership has more animations than the Philips Hue app.

The app is $3.99 to download. Fair enough. If you want see the actual temperature (6500 Kelvin, for example), though, that's a PRO feature. $14.99 a year? This is misleading. Will be disputing this with Apple.
This app, unfortunately, does not support free placement of colors on the Festivia Christmas lights or other gradient lights.
Edit: developers response is misleading.
Festivia and other gradient lights are not fully supported.
Specifically scattered modes do not work.
Gaslighting is uncouth

The app killed off perpetual licenses users and removed functionality already paid for
The easiest app to use for hue integrations. Love this app
Been using this app since the last one Apple no longer supports…. $$ :-( lately on only one of my iOS devices it fails to function… tried removing it and re-downloading it to see how long it will last. Lately Apple has been disallowing functionality due to VPN usage. This also is very concerning as functionality is growing less and less since their AI efforts are growing more and more restricting.
This app gets the best out of my Hue system. It’s worth it for the ease and mastery of my Hue setup. I’m saying that as a subscriber. One of the best apps of the whole App Store in my opinion.
Pay some. Then pay some more. The. Pay some more. Ridiculous
This app is the only app to use. It is wonderfully written and has a user interface far better than other apps I’ve tried using. It allows you to use the basic functionality of Hue switches, and will also allow you to go farther in implementing sophisticated switch behaviors.
I’ve been using the app for 3 years now, and it just keeps getting better.

I bought this app after using a competitors app for the last few months, this app is very intuitive for set up and fun to use. The pro features are simply outstanding.
