How to install Philips Hue gen 1 APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download Philips Hue gen 1 APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads
Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
Tap the APK file you downloaded (com.philips.lighting.hue-v1.14.0.1-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading). As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★I don't know what ppl are complaining about. Not enough functionality? They made the api open for a reason: so indi devs could jump in and drive each other to compete. This drives innovation. For a basic app to control a few lights and schedules, this is nice and simple. Don't bother upgrading to their latest Hue app though. They dropped almost all functionality for some reason. It's literally half the app that this old one is.
2 ★If you have downloaded the latest app and hate it, get this. It is (slightly) less frustrating.
3 ★5 hrs working on getting basic on/off to work with Alexa. Numerous pitfalls. Does work on my upgraded netgear AC router. A hard reset to factory default helped also. Bottom of the Hue bridge small pin hole & a paperclip. If more than 1 person setting up Alexa, will create downstream confusion. Best to have one name only for set up. Better entering serial numbers for light bulbs. Keep bridge physically close to bulbs. Ether net cable bridge to extender. Good luck.Jeff Applebaum
2 ★Looks better than original app. Even less functional than previous app. Hope they improve this app. It's the only thing that lets the product down IMO.
2 ★It doesn't work real well unless you are connected to the same Wi-Fi as the hub. Can you make it possible to have a device connect to the hub thru the internet so I don't have to be connected to my Wi-Fi with my phone to use it?
1 ★Worked well at start , but constant problems, £1,800 on bulbs, useless without a decent quality reliable app, THANK GOD FOR "HUE PRO" &"ONSWITCH" ,quality apps regularly updated.
4 ★Friends, Androidians, fellow app users, lend me your attention I come to mourn Philips Hue, not to praise him. With great sorrow must I tell you that, Philips Hue, first of his name, has left this digital plane and entered the digital hereafter. He was a kindly app and usable by all. There are more flamboyant, user friendly apps, but none were Hue 1. His brother, Hue II, who this author dares call Poo, who now sits on the yet un-cold throne of Philips, did watch our beloved Hue 1 e'ne to the very threshold of death. When, Hue 1, no longer able to even get up and show his familiar self to our eyes, he dids't cry out for help, but none was't proff'd. Thus, slain by those whom do shortly dids't swear their n'er ending devotion and aid, Hue 1 was't slain. Then dids't Poo ascend to the place that, by all rights shoulds't been his brother's, namely the throne of the house Philips. And so we must now bid to our former friend adieu and goodbye. Goodnight sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. May Poo e're improve or find the same fate as was't giv'n his brother.
4 ★I see a lot of bad reviews, especially on the Version 2 app. V2 would not install on any of my 5 Android devices which was odd but Version 1 installed just fine and has all the features I want. I find it easy to use and full featured including Themes, Timers, etc. Setup was easy...I have an Amazon Echo Dot which works great with the Hue system and requires TWO steps to get full functionality: Step 1- Installing the Phillips Hue app first (Version 1 for me) was easy and straightforward is necessary if you want to change the names of the lights, create ON/OFF timers and setup Theme for individual bulb brightness for different uses. Step 2 - Ask the Echo Dot to "Discover Devices" initiates the remaining step, once found, you can proceed to use your Echo to control the custom lighting configurations you created in the Hue app. As I mentioned, V1 is the only version that works on my phone, an Huawei Ascend Mate 2. That was initially a bit maddening. The path I took to successfully install the "Working" app was to use the link from the Instructions in the Phillips Hue box, that guided me to Version 1 and the rest is history. I took one star due to limited compatibility.
1 ★Someone's grand vision got in the way of good, simple user interface. And now the program fails on startup every time.
1 ★Flaky. Nice concept, but dreadful software. New version seems to have been designed by a complete idiot.
4 ★This version is significantly better than the new version. Please please please continue to maintain and improve this version. If not please open source it and hopefully someone picks it up and maintains it. Phillips - Hues are great, but the new app is broken. Keep this version please.
2 ★The Home and Away features have never worked since I installed the app on its release. I can go on and on but it's obvious the people who wrote this app don't use Hue...
