Philips Hue 3 upgrades smart lighting app

Philips is releasing a major new version of its iOS app that gives the smart lighting controller an updated look while restoring some missing features. The new version includes 30 new lighting scenes and brings back a feature that lets you turn photos into lighting scenes. Hue 3.0 isn’t a total redesign from scratch either — more so a refinement — so it shouldn’t be overwhelming for users like previous upgrades. Instead, the new design is visually less rough around the edges and generally smoother and more responsive to color and lighting changes.
