Pros and cons of OnSwitch for Philips Hue app for iPhone and iPad

OnSwitch for Philips Hue app good for

Someone was really thinking when they designed the interface on this. The ease to create groups and then switch between light sets makes this my go to app. I use this everyday now.
Simple and well designed with several useful pre- designed mood and utility lighting options!
Best app for Hue for sure. Combined with the native app these are all youll need. Maybe a fun one for music on the side. Flowing skies and colour flows are awesome. Lighting effects like candle light and fireworks are great for just those right moments. Dont forget it will use your device battery a bit (if you run it for hours like I do) so plug in if you can. Also, off-timers/location switches are overridden by this app because it streams the lighting instructions continuously: native app is like a light photo, this is a light video. Theres just a little learning curve so spend some time with the app and youll love it.
This is the best app to get the most out of your LIFX light bulbs.
There are a lot of pretty cool effects and it is very simple to use too.
Wonderfully curated selection of scenes and effects for the hue lighting system. Easy to use interface. Easily switch between effects. Best app to use when friends come over and you want to quickly show what all the lights can do. 10/10.

Some bad moments

The app and all of its themes are amazing! It really takes control of the hardware of the lights and really changes the room. The only problem with the app is that it doesnt allow you to demo a scene or see picture of what the light looks like before buying it. This hinders the ability to effectively demonstrate its in app purchase potential. It is by far the most wanted thing on the "vote for effects" page, and yet it seems as if the developers are ignoring this. However, if they added this feature, though, it would be an easy 5 out of 5.
This app was awesome for years. But as always, the manufacture got GREEDY. By this I am referring to the developers continued to add new themes to the applications home screen. These theme are NOT free; nor are these additional themes as desirable as this Applications original selection. Youre probably thinking, "Dont Buy the Theme". This would be a great suggestion; however the solicitation for all of these unusable themes remains on the home screen FOREVER. Here is the result of this GREED continuing. The HOME SCREEN of this Application has become so cluttered with unusable themes that now I must scroll "UP & DOWN" simultaneously OPENING SUBFOLDERS in the Application for 10-30 seconds every time I want to turn my lights on.
Would be better if you didnt have to pay for everything. You get 4 free standard modes, everything else is .99 or $2.99 and you dont get to preview before you buy.
After update, its not working and cant find any bulbs!!! Its frustrating how incomplete this app is!!! After deleting and reinstalling, all purchase gone more than $20!!!
This app has some great free lighting effects but the additional in app purchases are way over priced and there is no way to test them before purchase. I want to rate this app higher but because of those reasons 2 stars.
