Seems to work well. Need to review instructions and understand how to calibrate it.

The app works very well. For those who are having trouble there is a thin bar toward the bottom and below that a small bar. Pull up that bar and there are many ways to adjust the temperature. For natural try F7 and none. Works well and takes great images.
Im getting believable and reproducible results with LSP, which is hampered somewhat by sketchy English grammar and spelling, but mostly by a lack of any procedure on how to set up and use the app. Technically, it seems to work well, and is nicely laid out. My own method has been to choose a uniform target surface in some shade of white, with WB turned on, using either D65 or D50, and illuminated by light from single color temperature source. Then I press HOLD and give LSP several seconds until the reading settles. I then save the readings for reference. These vary a bit depending on the Illuminant and Adaptation method, but I do see correct numbers for daylight, incandescents, and CFLs. Im using the app to determine what color temp of LED to choose; since these are very expensive, a mistake would be costly.
This app reminds me of carbon dating rocks. Geologists need to know how far down you obtained the rock b4 they will date it. So this app asks you to fist tell what light source u r reading from and if u get that wrong your results r way off. This fact alone makes it pretty much useless to me- want my $back!
Please update, this app doesnt open now, just one pitch black dark screen . I lost money to you if you dont. Would that be stealing
Loads to a black screen. Sorry, but my advice is: dont buy.
Dont buy this app. App loads to a black screen.
Fifty million settings that have no apparent effect on the actual measurement. Non-intuitive interface. No guidance. Non-existent support. And the developer cant even spell "cancel" correctly.
Reads 2714K for sunlight, light meter reads 5109k and shooting at 5100k gives proper color balance. Buy light meter instead gives good color balance and metering also.
Perhaps this app does work and no one can figure out how to make it work? The interface is illogical and very complex with in-app instructions or on the developer website. Based on what I can do with the app it doesn’t work, if I point it at a 6500K calibrated light source it reads very different values and is entirely inconsistent.
I love as able to show the difference between an LED and incandescent bulb while dimmed, but in genial the UI is broken for the 6+ and I cant seemed to use advanced functions. cant switch between photos, maybe the button hides on the 6+
I do commercial photography and thought an affordable color temperature meter would be a good idea. This one is real disappointing, with a puzzling interface, useless Info button, and plenty of typos or spelling mistakes in what tries to pass for a user guide. Im not sure how to get a simple color temperature reading. All I want to do is point it at a light source and get a reading. I dont know why I need to choose a light source (the whole point of this should be to get a color temperature), dont know what they mean by "light mode" and dont want to have Google translate their web site into English. I know, its only a couple of bucks, but still Id like a refund in return for the hour or so that I wasted on this nearly worthless app.
