Worth every penny

Used it for the first time this past weekend on a gig and it was a game changer. I could tell immediately my shots were visually better instead of the usual guessing game without a light meter. Well worth the $20

Useful for Still Photography Too

This app is very accurate for setting Kelvin for white balance for still photography. I had to photograph items in a large room with a mix of fluorescent light and daylight coming through the windows. It was different in various parts of the room. I used this app to make quick K adjustments instead of shooting a gray card for each location. This was much faster and save time in post. The photos were more consistent across the gallery. The sun tracking function is also intuitive and helpful for planning times for future shoots to get the best light.

wonderful

been helpful in quick situations. one issue ive had is it uses the 5x telephoto when switching to 2x. i also wish there was a landscape mode to match my frame more accurately. the fixed portrait orientation has been accounting for a wider reading of the space when sometimes i need it tighter but 5x is too close of a zoom to compensate for this issue. (i have a 16 pro max)

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind words and the feedback, the team is looking into that. Also stay tuned for version 3.0. Several big new features and improvements!

The best $20 I’ve spent recently

Seriously. Could I figure this out manually? Yes, do I want to be bothered by it? Absolutely not.
Well worth the money especially moving through different locations and times of day, the easiest way to get white balance right in camera!

Lifesaver

This app made my job so much easier instead of having to guess what to white balance at. Y’all did a great job with this app.

Response from developer

Glad it’s been helpful. Thanks for taking the time to review, and for the positive feedback!
