Was für ein Unsinn!
Good but Would be Great at Lower Cost
That being said, the $39.99 price would be fair as a one time purchase. It’s incredibly steep as an annual fee considering its limitations in comparison to a colorimeter.
Update (April 2026): After regularly using the tool for a year, I stand by my initial assessment. I found it was often best to calibrate about 3 times per profile and compare each side-by-side to pick the most accurate profile. There will be differences and it isn’t a one-and-done tool. That being said, it is decent for what it is. $39.99 per year is absolutely too much. I will not be renewing at this time but would consider if the pricing model is re-evaluated. It’s definitely worth paying for, it just isn’t worth what they’re asking for on a recurring basis.

Thank you for your feedback. We are pretty proud of how TruHu stacks up against colorimeter-based monitor calibration. I won't go into all the details here, but we do have a blog entry that addresses this. Please have a look. https://truhu.app/blog/colorimeter-based-monitor-calibration-vs-truhu/
Calibration- on QD-OLED Moniter
Response from developer
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. In our experience, QD-OLED is more of a technology found in 40"+ TVs than in desktop monitors. And TruHu doesn't support TVs. What model monitor are you using? If you achieved reasonable results, we are happy for you, but we didn't develop TruHu for this application. In terms of annual subscription, we think it's a very good deal compared to $200+ for a colorimeter-based monitor calibrator. We are continually improving TruHu to adapt to new iPhone models and new types of display technology, which is why it is a subscription. --Clark (founder)
Don’t waste your time on any platform
Or at least that’s my assumption of what the problem is. You don’t get anything helpful about the cause from the UI - just a red X by the email address (User ID) and an irritating beep.
Poorly designed software with lousy pre-release QA…
Don’t waste the 15-20 minutes of your life this App will steal.
Solid, well priced color calibration for nonprofessionals
I wouldn’t rely on TruHu for professional calibration but that’s not what it’s meant for anyway. I’d much rather pay for a simple app that takes 60 seconds to spit out decent color than drop hundreds on a colorimeter AND learn how to use complicated software that’s frankly unnecessary given my use case.
As an aside, expecting to get technology like this for free is mindboggling to me. I wonder if people who do so also download the free Canon Connect app and rate it one star because the camera doesn’t come with it?
Irreführend
Not supported
Response from developer
Hi There - Yes TruHu does NOT Support iPads. We cannot access the video LUT like we can on a Mac or Windows computer. This is explained in our FAQ. https://truhu.app/blog/truhu-faqs/
Meh
Response from developer
Based upon user feedback like yours, we now clearly state this up front – * Must be used in conjunction with desktop application (Mac/Win) which includes an annual subscription fee. We think it's a very good deal compared to $200+ for a colorimeter-based monitor calibrator. We are continually improving TruHu to adapt to new iPhone models and new types of display technology, which is why it is a subscription. One other thing to note, you always have your iPhone with you, which is not the case for your colorimeter. So TruHu allows you to calibrate wherever and whenever you need it. --Clark (founder)
App just doesn’t work
Response from developer
Hi There: We have many happy customers on a variety of iPhones under both Windows and Mac PCs. Feel free to send a message to support@truhu.app, and we can look into the details of your particular configuration.
Great results
Annual subscription? Really??
Response from developer
(Update April 11) - based upon your feedback, as well as the feedback of others, we have updated the description of the TruHu iOS app to mention that a subscription-based dekstop application is needed to use TruHu. Given the relatively few reviews we have, one-star ratings really hurt our overall rating. If you feel we have (at least partially) addressed you concerns and are inclined to re-rate TruHu, we would appreciate it. Thank you for your feedback. We don't feel there's anything "sneaky" about our annual subscription. We feel we are pretty up front about TruHu's price on our web site - see https://truhu.app/product. Re the annual subscription - with ever new iphones and monitor technology requiring new TruHu lookup tables, we have ongoing development costs, and this is why we chose a SaaS pricing model.
Surprise! It’s $39

It was always our intention for the iOS app to be free. I think that's pretty standard. Of course, we also need to make a living and try and recover some of the money we spent developing TruHu. And I think we are pretty up front about TruHu's price on our web site - see https://truhu.app/product. I think your comment about putting the desktop application on the Mac app store is worthy of further consideration. Since we are supporting both Mac and Win, we just thought it would be easier to have everything in one place. Re pricing - some of the other moncal products have a forever license, which is in reality ~3 years due to the fact that the filters on colorimeters change over time, in the $200 range, so we feel an annual license of $39.99 is reasonable. And with ever new iphones and monitor technology requiring new TruHu lookup tables, we have ongoing development costs, which is why we chose a SaaS pricing model.

Absolutely terrible
Response from developer
Sorry about your squirrelly experience. I don't have a good explanation at this time. If you'd like to contact support@truhu.app, we can look into the particulars of your system.
$40/ year

Works well but it’s $40USD a YEAR
Yes, it calibrates the white bal on one’s computer monitor in a snap.
Alas, I was looking for a replacement for the THX optimiser app, now that it’s stopped working for ios18. I liked the THX app, as it used quick reference photos I could use as a final check after running my CalMan Software I can show my customers, as regular folks can’t relate to patterns.
This app doesn’t really have any.
Other downsides:
1. Only Cals greyscale, and black levels, no white levels.
2. CANT BE SENT TO TVs or work with TVs, which is a deal breaker.
3. It’s $40 USD a year.
A one time payment of $40? Okay fine. But each YEAR? FORGET IT.
Not a Pro, But this is pretty good
Compatibility issues
Response from developer
Hi There: Just because we didn't have a Windows version at the time your wrote this review, I don't think we deserve a one-star review. We did subsequently release the Windows version of TruHu. Re having to download two apps – that's the whole point, to use your iPhone to calibrate you desktop. Feel free to update your review.
Super für Perfektionisten!
Achtung ist nur auf das Abo zu geben! Das sollte man direkt wieder kündigen.
