HueZapper is an easy and intuitive app for Philips Hue smart lights.

Easily capture current light settings as a scene that can be recalled at any time at the tap of a button. Assign names and custom icons to scenes to find them in the blink of an eye.
Define "linked lights" sets, so multiple lights can be controlled with one touch, as if they were wired to the same switch.
The full-featured version is available as in-app purchase. You can try HueZapper for free and upgrade if you like it.
Requirements: this app requires a Philips Hue bridge and compatible LED light bulbs, strips or other lighting accessories.
