## Description

KEV is the #1 White Balance app for iPhone/iPad. It turns your device into a professional light meter, using the built-in camera and AI to provide real-time Kelvin color temperature readings without external sensors.

KEV analyzes live previews to deliver accurate Kelvin readings, with calibration against Sekonic C-700R-U and options to snapshot readings with location, manual focus, and manual overrides for Auto White Balance. Perfect for photographers, videographers, gaffers, drones, and cinematographers to speed up setup and streamline post-processing.

## Review summary

Overall, the app is praised as accurate, simple, and a game-changer for on-set white balance, especially for professionals. It’s portable and time-saving, with strong usefulness for mixed lighting and LOG workflows. However, reliability concerns remain due to inconsistent readings across cameras, occasional crashes at low Kelvin, and problematic sharing/saving workflows, plus a missing calibration feature to fine-tune results.

### Pros

- Very accurate readings that help set white balance quickly, even with mixed lighting.
- Simple, intuitive design with clear explanations.
- Extremely portable and can replace a physical light meter for photographers and videographers.
- Saves time in post-production by getting close on set, reducing grading work.
- Well-suited for professional workflows (e.g., LOG) and supports taking multiple measurements to form a reasonable WB range.

### Cons

- Saving/sharing readings is unreliable: images aren’t saved to the Photos library and AirDrop/Message sharing often doesn’t work.
- Results can vary between front and back cameras, raising questions about trustworthiness.
- Crashes when attempting to read Kelvin below about 2700 K.
- No built-in calibration or offset option to fine-tune readings.
- Some reports of wider-than-expected Kelvin gaps, suggesting the underlying measurement can be inconsistent at times.
