The app rating in Google is currently 4.5 stars. I did my part in leaving a review, and got a nice "As our features grow..." pasta reply.
Edit: I've also downgraded the app to version 4.38 and disabled auto updates (both for the app and the firmware), and asked my housemate to do the same. That should keep things working for now.
Being able to downgrade apps for reasons like this are why I probably won't ever leave Android.
Forced mandatory popup after app launches
“App is out of date. Please update HUE to continue to get access to the latest features!”
It’s coming
That's really all I have to say to that message.
Android is going to potentially get worse too in terms of sideloading
