It's available for iOS but not for Android? I didn't even know you could do that on iOS.
It's worth jailbreaking for! Www.jailbreakme.com As of now, you can jailbreak iOS 6, but not an iPhone 5

I've also installed redshift and redshift-gtk as suggested and they both crash on start. Altough redshift doesn't if supplied with all the required parameters outright.
Create a config file in ~/.config/redshift.conf with the manual parameters you use, and redshift-gtk should work. Sample config is at http://jonls.dk/2010/10/redshift-1-6-released/ - I only need to set lat and lon to get it to run, though I also have temp-night set for my personal preference.
This thing gets a lot of love by a bunch of folks here, so I gave it a good half year of trying. But it's just too annoying. Around 5pm, your display turns pinkish orange and it becomes a lot harder to see anything. Code gets harder to read, colors display wrong, video just fades to black. None of the advertised happiness ensues. The second half-year it remained installed, my only interaction with it was to notice it…

Whenever Flux gets mentioned, there's two groups of people: 1: Doesn't understand it, hates the "wrong" colors. Can't get used to it. 2: Appreciates the candle-like colors, says it helps them sleep in the evening or relaxes their eyes. I wonder if there's some sort of genetic difference? Maybe some people just aren't sensitive to bright light in the evening?
If the same people are complaining about paper and other objects having the "wrong" colours at night, you might be onto something. I think that's highly unlikely though and I see little reason to seek a genetic explanation.
I also use Nocturne for mac ( http://www.blacktree.com ) at night when I am reading something in bed. It turns the screen basically red and black, and is useless for anything besides text. Watching videos is impossible, so I just finish what I'm reading.

I wonder if there are also geographic differences at play? I love it during summer in Germany (= bright until ~10PM) but it annoys me when it turns dark at 4PM, while I am still at work.

I would take this a step further and say it happens when any project or software gets mentioned on HN. There are always two groups of people: Those who like it, and those who don't. Those who don't are usually composed of a lot of people who don't actually care, but just thrive on contradicting people. I'd say it's more of a personality phenomenon, but acknowledge the possibility you present as well.
If these theoretical contradictors are evenly distributed, spherical, and massless, then it seems natural that around 50% will be busy contradicting other contradictors, and writing well thought out and earnest posts about how great the software is.
One can only hope that they all get sent out into a vacuum.

My main issue with f.lux (and the reason I don't use it) is that you can't configure it to wait until a certain time to start with the transition. When I go to bed at 11 pm, I would like f.lux to start its one hour transition at 9 pm so that I don't see that much cold light the last two hours before sleep. And in the morning it should start directly with the settings for the day, without any transition. Tying it to s…
I didn't set it to be in the Southern Hemisphere but just moved it further West. I never notice the transition from warm-to-cold anyway (not an early riser) and it delayed the cold-to-warm transition by 2 hours.
