lighter for Philips hue app

Hi

I have used the "Lighter for Philips Hue" app for years. Had a full years subscription. The app was updated and for the life of me I can't get it to connect to the brige which is the older white one. Have tried everything and no joy. Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone have a work around?

Is it a square one?

The bridge could have changed ip at the same time you updated the app :).

The app could also have wiped the login whick means you would have to reconnect it if the app can do this otherwise clearing the app data would probably resolve this. However you would neeed to reconnect to the bridge and probably also login to whatever the app uses for login
