User reviews

Throws a fee at you the moment you try to use it

If you’re gonna make an app paid do it on the AppStore first and give at least some credits when you open it.

I’m not going to use something the deceives the user by baiting to be free and then switches when you try to use it

Stay away from this app, as you will be scammed

This app is not what it claims to be. It Hass to be purchased in order to use here on the App Store but once you make the purchase, you’re gonna have to make another purchase for a desktop version of it in order for the app to work there’s no mention of that whatsoever and that extra desktop version of the app is another 1099 I would just stay away from this, it’s misleading it’s deceptive and it’s dishonest. I think they should be removed from the App Store or they need to revise the software to just one anyways I asked for a refund because of those shenanigans do not buy this app. Ultimately Apple should be responsible for screen calibration for the iPad pros for professional photographers that’s just how I feel about.

Works as promised

Does it’s job like it says it does. Does cost money. Isn’t free. Still considerably less than the SpyderX Elite $269.99 (entry level SpyderX does not allow calibration of multiple screens — only one). I’ve paid $10 for a calibration pack of 5 calibrations and $9.99 for the Mac Store app (which has the benefit of display controls Mac doesn’t provide to 3rd party screens)

So for about twenty bucks($19.99 total), I have a tool that can match up to 5 displays… versus $269.99

The tool does indeed use the internet to sync your phone with your Mac/PC, so yeah, you need a username and password for that functionality.

The Mac App and iOS app are vetted by Apple to get into the store. This is a poor professional’s friend.

Finally, my footage matches the color space quite well to what I shoot on my iPhone in Filmic Legacy. And I don’t have to cast to my Apple TV’s color corrected TV (Apple has their own tool that does the same thing with an AppleTV & iPhone & consumer TVs) anymore for production.

Thank you, CalibCat. Now shut up and take my money and buy yourself some cat nip. Good job, kitty. Good job.

Useless without paying

Can not be used without paying in app. So this is just a paid app, which would be fine if it didn’t try to be deceptive by allowing free download.

Maybe it’s a good app?

A trial should be offered first, like one calibration. If it works, I might pay the $10+ for 5 calibrations. I think I would rather pay a lower subscription or maybe $10 for a single pay if I thought it was good. But that much before I even know it works does not seem like a good value to me.
