I remember using this before and it was very limited with Android as it could only apply the color correction with their viewing app not on a global setting due to what they say were Android OS limitations.
You could hunt for the apk but at least from my experience with it, I didnt care for it too much.

On iOS was more advanced than Android.
I did a calibration between 2 monitors Home, one iMac 27 in the office, my laptop screen and the iPad pro and was great.
Why the average level is always going to the bottom? Somewhere I did read the software was useless because the iOS screen (iPad and iPhone) are very well calibrated by default.......

Any suggestions for red clipping/low red saturation issues? I've got the regular DNG Basic Pack and the Cobalt Smart pack, but nothing looks right:
If anything, Portrait is the closest to being normal in all ways, but it shifts a lot of other colors and tones around in the process, similar to a hint of orange and teal look. Adobe and RNI are right behind, with less shifted colors, but still not accurate. The rest tend to either shift to yellow when close to clipping, or have nasty banding at a certain point.
I usually use Neutral for everything for color accuracy, but haven't really encountered a bright red until recently. This red is actually slightly orange like a tomato, but I've experienced the same issue with pure red hummingbird feeders:
Upping the saturation on Neutral, either globally, with HSL sliders, or with an adjustment brush, doesn't solve the issue, as saturation only increases slightly, and other artifacts start popping up. Suggestions?

I find that the profiles that give you a flatter image gives you more flexibility in post. I wouldn't expect it to look right out of the gate. If you're only in Lightroom, then I suggest going into the Calibration sliders and upping the saturation there as a first step before going into the HSL and basic saturation adjustments.
I do all of my color refinements in Photoshop, and I find there is plenty to recover when using the Cobalt profiles. Note that I'm using the A7RIV.

Correct. I do a bit of editing to make things look better, and images have looked fine, properly saturated, all work done in ACR, until these. You can see in the hummingbird image how saturated everything else is besides the red feeder. The Standard and Neutral Cobalt profiles are just slightly less saturated overall vs Adobe Color, with a little bit less contrast, but a similar overall tone curve, so it's no big change to edit with them vs Adobe's profile. But the red stands out as the one thing that's way off vs everything else that's quite realistic.

My fault, but I read this reply thinking i could add these from the IPAD as Its my only computer. I bought the pack and have wasted my money as you must own a normal computer in order to at least install these profiles. Wish I had known that.

Hello,
I was wondering if there is any more to add about these large color differences shown above? I am researching the Cobalt profiles for my A7IV and am kind of confused how different the same image looks (red car) within the cobalt family.

Thanks. Check out Douglas Friedman Photographer on instagram. He uses a Fuji MF and I love the tone and vibe of his interior images with the Fuji. I'd like to emulate that look with Sony gear and some post processing. Trying to figure out how.
