TruHu Monitor Calibrator

This app and accompanying desktop software is great for casuals (like me) that enjoy viewing their monitors in accurate color. I also have to review figma assets and occasionally video edit for work — being able to accurately view color is quite useful. 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?

I would have been happy to pay a one-off price for this app but trying to push it as a sneaky annual subscription after going through and installing the desktop app, pairing them together and running the calibration is a terrible business practice that I will not support. Deleted the app.

Couldn’t tell you if the results are any good or not. After downloading this phone app and trusting a desktop app from developer I’ve never heard of, I went through all the steps and bam!! Presented with a $39 upcharge that was not disclosed ahead of time (its annual too). Not only is this a poor way of doing business, but the app doesn’t even show you what the results would look like before paying. This is not a risk I want to take and I will not use nor recommend this app as a result! As far as I’m concerned, this shouldn’t even be allowed on the app store as the app itself provides no usefulness aside funneling sales to a website. Also of note, are we all just trusting apps on the web now? The fact that the Mac software isn’t in the App Store is a huge security risk let alone a bad look from the consumer perspective. Sad cause I was really hoping for a solution that’s not absurdly priced!!
