## Review summary

Users broadly agree Screen Balance offers core brightness/contrast control and can improve color balance, and is useful for long-term display management. However, frequent concerns include paywalls locking features, inability to boost above limits (no gamma slider) or functionality not meeting claims, and reliability issues (crashes, background killing, resets).

### Pros

- Core brightness and contrast management features
- Can improve color tone/white balance (fix yellowish screen)
- Useful for long-term display management
- Positive overall sentiment (great app / best)
- Base functionality regarded as solid by some users

### Cons

- Paywalls lock most features behind Pro/premium
- Cannot boost brightness/contrast above 100% and gamma slider is missing
- Reportedly unreliable or not working on some devices
- App can crash, kill itself in background, or reset when exiting
- Some advertised features do not match actual functionality (color overlays, no hue/saturation control)
