Has anyone got any Philips Hue related widgets that you can switch lights on and off right there from the widget notification centre?

Hue isn't out yet and Onswitch just takes you to the app.

Nothing yet that I've seen. Phillips says their update will be out before the end of the year.
 
I installed Check the Weather, is there a way to have just the preset weather?
Or am I missing an option to just have the current weather and then expand the hours and weeks?

Thanks
 
Sports Alerts has just updated to add a great sports scores widget. The best I've seen so far.

My favorite RSS reader "Fiery Feeds" got updated with a notification center widget and so did that weather app WTHR, which I still don't like.

Does Fiery Feeds have support for the new displays? I'm a little frustrated that Reeder 2 hasn't updated, but I'll give the developer the benefit of the doubt and assume that Apple is just way too backed up on the approval process.

Yep, both iPhone 6 models plus a notification center widget. Granted, I don't have an iPhone 6 yet but the description in the app says it has been updated for them.

What's the linky dinky for this app? Not sure which one you're talking about. :)

I actually downloaded Fiery Feeds yesterday, I been waiting on an update to Reeder 2 and stumbled upon Fiery Feeds. It had me on landscape support. But it's very clean and it can be buggy... Dev said its working on fixing the app badges. He is also implementing new features in the future.

I've had Fiery Feeds for a few months now. The dev for Reeder is a first class douchebag so I won't use his crap anymore.

Holy crap, that app sucks. You have to PAY to get alerts... Uh, deleted.

I really like Reeder, but I seen 3 similar RSS Feed Apps... Fiery Feeds, OneReader & Good News.. That pushed out updates. While Reeder has been on standby. And Fiery Feeds dev has handled my email in a timely mannered.. So, I'm sticking with Fiery Feeds. Awaiting on Pocket Casts, no telling when that will be updated..

What I like best about the widget is you can control the content from the widget itself; You can select 4 sports & your favorites from the notification center.

It's true that you have to pay for alerts, but I don't use the alerts, only the widget and the boxscores linked to the widgets. You can even refresh scores from the widget.
 
Got a Hue update today, but no widget. That was one of the ones I was most looking forward to, and seeing as it was promoted so early on, I'm surprised it's taking them so long.
 
"Centered" works in theory, but in practice it just continually tells me that I need to set goals, even though they have been already set.

Yeah this sports widget is awesome. True that alerts need to be paid for but the widget is probably the best sports one I've used. Sportscenter's is good but if you want to see other scores besides your favorities you can't. This widget lets you easily switch between leagues and favorites direct from the widget.
 
The other day I was looking at a weather app with a widget, but I've completely forgotten the name, is there a way I can check App Store history for things I've recently looked at?

Otherwise does anyone know of any blog posts which list a few weather apps with widgets? Because I'm pretty sure I got it from a blog post, I can't find it in my history though.
 
Hello,
I am willing to pay the developer for Launcher but since it has been removed from the Apple Store (communists) is there a way to get the file (deb?) and install it remote or some way?

Again, I am willing to pay the developer and whoever can get me the app and instruct how to install.

Thanks
