## Review summary

Users find White Balance Kelvin Meter generally accurate and very useful for photography and video white balance setting, especially when calibrated properly. The app is lauded for its ease of use, useful features, and good value compared to dedicated meters. However, many users criticize the poor UI design with dark themes, the aggressive trial limitations pushing users to premium quickly, and ergonomic issues like awkward button placement. Calibration is essential as some readings can be inconsistent, and feature limitations such as no front camera support reduce its versatility.

### Pros

- Accurate or nearly accurate color temperature readings when calibrated properly.
- Useful and practical for photography and video to set white balance manually.
- Easy to use with an intuitive interface and additional features like Hue Meter and correction gel suggestions.
- Good technical support and developer responsiveness to initial issues.
- Cost-effective compared to buying a dedicated color light meter.

### Cons

- Free trial period is very short and the app aggressively prompts to buy the premium version after a short use, which frustrates users.
- Dark theme with poor contrast makes readings hard to see unless screen brightness is maxed.
- Calibration is necessary as readings can be inconsistent or off without it; some users find readings vary significantly from expectations.
- Ergonomic issues with button placement causing difficulty in one-handed usage and risk of covering the camera.
- Lack of ability to use the front camera or measure overall room white balance reduces flexibility and practical use cases.
