About Spyder4Gallery

****NOTE****Please note that a Spyder4™ colorimeter is required to use the calibration component of SpyderGallery™ for Android.

Android users can enjoy color-managed image viewing in the SpyderGallery app, which accesses your existing standard photo albums instead of requiring app-specific folders or albums. SpyderGallery also provides an easy-to-use calibration utility to create a custom color profile on your Android device. Viewing images through the color-managed viewer will allow for more accurate color and provide you with a closer match to desktop monitors and other color-managed displays.

For photographers who use their Android smartphone or tablet as a portable portfolio tool, SpyderGallery is a critical accessory to ensure that your work is being displayed correctly. Those wanting to display images while on-the-go, whether for professional or personal use, will no longer need to compromise color-accuracy for the convenience of your Android device.

"I've had my Nexus 7 for nearly a year, but have been disappointed in it's lack of color in the display. Using SpyderGallery, the colors now match my Spyder calibrated desktop screen perfectly!
I use my Nexus 7 to show clients images from my shoots in progress. Up to now, I have to explain how the final images will have better color. With SpyderGallery, the progress shots on the Nexus pad appear as good as on my desktop calibrated screen.” – John Nollendorfs.

App Highlights:
• Color-correct your Android smartphone and tablet running Honeycomb 3.0 or higher
• View all images loaded on your Android device in one easy to use gallery viewer, no photo importing required
• Personal photo watermarking feature
• Pixel-level zooming capabilities

This app only works with a Spyder4. I own a Spyder5Elite for my desktop. The Spyder4 is a discontinued product according to B&H Photo. Very frustrating.

D70%
by D####:

This app would be good if the developers updated it to work with their newer calibration devices, I have a Pro 5 and am unable to calibrate my mobile devices as the app states I need to have a 4. Developers, please update...

Crashes instantly on Sony Z4 Tablet (Marshmallow)

Good app. Plese update for better.

Out of date

D70%
by D####:

Simply doesn't work! Was able to go through calibration process. But it was pointless because can't open gallery to see images in calibrated form. Crashes every time.

F70%
by F####:

Despite nice idea, the implementation is far from good: some images displayed wrong, bad GUI in selecting album, slow, does not scale all larger images right.

N70%

Title says it all. Wouldn't pair. The other devices, it goes through

Doesn't work with Spyder5. Datacolor website lists SpyderGallery under discontinued products. :(

Kudos for the initiative. Any chance you will make it compatible with Spyder5?

Q70%

Make it support Spyder5 Pro.

It is a shame! Add Spyder3express support!

by L####:

After trying out both SpyderGallery and ColorTrue by X-rite, I can say ColorTrue feels more refined and it also support internal gallery on Note4. SpyderGallery got a lot of things need to catch up before can compete with ColorTrue. ColorTrue will get my vote for now.

M70%
by M####:

On my Sony Xperia SP, the calibration looks good. It seems a bit more saturated than the one in my laptop though. A few things that could be improved are the connection to Flickr, it just couldn't connect. So, I just downloaded a few samples to my phone's gallery. But a connected Flickr gallery could really help a lot! Another thing that can be improved is the small panel for listing the galleries. Please try to make it bigger, currently it occupies less than a quarter of the screen! Thank you.

Ok, it calibrates my tablet and kinda works as a viewer, but does not take advantage of my Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 2560x1600 resolution! Images are displayed at lower resolution (maybe 1280 x 800, but appear even lower), which is useless! Half-baked interface is also terrible... I weighted the pros and cons of Spyder 4 Pro vs. competitors, and had I known the Android app was useless as is I might have chosen a different product.

I have spyder 4 elite,however the tools correction isnt applied to the phone

the picture viewer loading too slow, and need to choose gallery-phone galley-choose folder of the pictures. not like the other picture viewer just click the app and showing all latest picture. disappointing...

L70%
by L####:

Love it

N70%
by N####:

Slow to view pictures, and that is made worse by a lack of caching.

K70%
by K####:

1. the calibration profile is applied only to pictures viewed inside this app. Does not work for the entire system. 2. Slow. The pictures load very hard, sometimes they never load. It has bugs connecting to Flickr or even Facebook. 3. Resolution is bad. Is not loading the picture full resolution. This is created for photographers. I would not use this app to show to my customers pictures through this app because it's slow and has bad res. Overall, the idea is ok, but still needs allot of work.

Kitkat on my Samsung note 8 does not work. It was great with Jellybean, it has to work now with kitkat, waiting for the upgrade, hope soon. Edit 2 months later and no fix, I think Google screwed us with Kitkat. Ther are 2 new versions out but not to the Samsung note 8 and spydergallery does not care. Edit 3 on sept 1 2014 Datacolor sent a new update. Yea, it now works with Kitkat and a sd card. Changed the stars to 5.

by K####:

It calibrates, I can see the gallery, but does not apply the calibration. I can only see the pictures with the calibration in the app.

K70%
by K####:

Calibration works, but the gallery itself just crashes. Waste of time.

P70%
by P####:

Great concept, disappointed it doesn't work on current android os

K70%
by K####:

Profiles correctly but the viewer just crashes on Kitkat. Can't review properly until this is fixed, since the app is completely useless without the viewer. Update: updated to 4.4.4, crashes are the same. Have tried contacting Datacolor but let's see if they even respond - their lack of dev contact through the Play Store is neither inspiring nor reassuring.

L70%
by L####:

I use to be able to use this app on the iPad with my Spyder 3, this one only supports the 4. Even then, just trying to view pictures results in a crash.

K70%
by K####:

Seriously? Can't a Spyder3 calibrate an Android device? The 4 might be a better colorimeter, but the rest is the Software. Hope this limitation will be solved.

K70%
by K####:

It's ridiculous, the software nicely detects and connects to my Spyder3, but then refuses to work telling you you need a Spyder4. I see no technical explanation why it shouldn't work, I only see economical reasons... "buy our new hardware although you don't need it" Guess my next purchase will be a Pantone Huey, they also don't lock out hardware working features from their software.

Unfortunetly does not work properly on my Lg G2. Every time when i try to calibrate with spyder4 elite sensor and win7 the calibration process finished with an annoying error message. ..Updated: it works with win Xp, but still does not on win7 :(

Well it calibrated just fine, but try to look at an image and it just crashes. It crashes on both my android devices too!

by A####:

Doesn't work on KitKat. Calibration works, but force-closes on gallery load. (Unfortunately, because it's the gallery that displays color-corrected images, without the gallery, the app is useless and the calibration is meaningless.) datacolor is aware of the issue and has informed me via email, "We are working on a fix here. We are very sorry, we do not have a time line for a release yet."

Y70%
by Y####:

As many other users reported, the app crashes *every single time* I try to open the local gallery. I managed to calibrate my Nexus 10, though with troubles, I had to try a few times. But now I can only view Flicker, and even this doesn't work very well. Very poor software engineering!

Y70%
by Y####:

1 - The user interface is poorly laid out for a small screen devices. 2 - The calibration never completes successfully. (Expanding on point #1; Screen says to enjoy newly calibrated device, dialog box showing that the calibration has failed.). I tried to calibrate for about ~5 times before I gave up. The connection to desktop's SpyderGallery was established and logs were running. I could probably close one eye on other problems if #2 works - but hey.. that would be asking too much from this app.
