Beautiful.

I dont like the UI update. Its all blue and detracts from the lovely photos and flavor of the individual scenes. Still a great app though. And yes, it does work in the background.

There are some lovely new scenes since the last time I updated the app (in July)!

If you disagree with me about the Blue UI update your review ;) I noticed there are no reviews for this version.

Beautiful scenes and a variety of different effects. Lots to choose from. The UI is beautiful - a lot of Hue apps feel, to be honest, kind of thrown together. Not Espresso. This app is beautiful and easy to use - the kind of UI you *should* get if you spent $200+ on a lighting system.

Background mode works flawlessly.

If the app can add scheduling - ability to trigger different scenes (with individually specified brightness, intensity, and activity level) at different times - then it will be Perfect and I will run no other Hue app. Five stars even without this feature though - thats how well it does the things it already can do.
