The hue control for everyday life.

Switch your lights on or off from the Notification Center – This is the idea of Hue Widget.

Turning on or off of your Hue lights has never been so easy. Just select a group , and your actions are limited to this group. The innovative widget allows you to control your lights through different views using its vertical Tabbar. So you can decide whether you want to manage your groups, individual lamps or scenes.

The integrated brightness control of the groups or lights view provides you for every situation in your daily life an appropriate brightness level. So you can use your lights quickly as a nightlight, subtle lighting while watching TV, as normal lighting or very bright lighting. In addition, the widget contains a random button. Be inspired by the random button by leaving your lights shine in random colors.

The app itself allows you to configure your widget. The widget uses the connection to the bridge that you have set via the app. In addition, you can control and manage your lights, groups and scenes. As in the widget you can quickly select between different views by the Tabbar. In each view for controlling the lamps, groups or scenes you can tap the left button to turn your lights on or off. By simply swiping over one row you can control the brightness precisely. With a tap on a row you will reach the detail view of a lamp, group or scene and can configure more detailed settings.

Addon Store
Expand Hue Widget with addons. You can find the Addon Store in the settings menu of Hue Widget. Currently you can purchase four addons.

– Buttons Plus Addon
The Buttons Plus addon includes additional features for Hue Widget.

Alternative Functions
The control buttons of the widget provide alternative functions if you tap them twice . For example you can tap the ON button twice to activate lights in your favorite color.

Fade
If you hold a Control Button you activate its function in a transition. For example you can use the OFF button to turn off your lights slowly over time.

In the app you can use the additional functions by tapping the „more button“ and the watch app displays additional buttons to use the new features.

– Color Schemes Addon
With this addon you can create your own Color Schemes and manage them. The widget and the watch app receives an additional button to circle through your Color Schemes. In the app you activate a Color Scheme in the detail view of a light or group. A Color Scheme represents a set of percentage distributed colors.

IQ Test Pro Edition. With solutions!

Reviews
“There’s always another app claiming to test your brain. This one delivered!
I am very pleased with it. I’ll be recommending this to all my friends. It’s a great way to get the juices of the mind flowing. I don’t know what the actual standard test consists of, however I can imagine it’s pretty similar to this apps knowledge base! In closing -Sending my thanks to the developers!”

“I can’t believe all these people bragging that they got IQ’s of 135 and 140. The average is 100. Obviously, most of you people are lying. 3% of people have an IQ of 125 and over. 0.39% have an IQ over 140. One things I say, is that, ‘the person who tells everyone how smart they are probably are not.’ My sister is is pretty smart and has an IQ of 128. She’s going to MIT. I think you people bragging about your iq probably aren’t the smartest. If you were really smart, you’d know everyone would just say your lying and not tell everyone your IQ. I think it’s a good, accurate app because my sister took a really long iq test and got the exact same score.”

“I made the official Mensa test online few years ago and got 138. This time I have 130 with the app. I think it’s accurate but it always depends on how you focus to the test and the time spent to answer the 39 questions. Good app overall.”

IQ Test like a Job Interview
Available for iPad and iPhone.

2 different tests! And… IQ average ;)
+39 Questions to get your IQ! iq test.
