MyLightMeter PRO App Reviews

(Like) the real thing!. A very well thought out, usable app. The resemblance to an old style physical meter you held in your hand is not only on the surface. The visual elements all work and make this tool eminently usable. My personal way of working is very old school . I want to point the meter, and have the reading for exposure. Because of that I can comment only that used in that way this app is perfect. I really have no complaint about any aspect of it for that kind of work. In promo The ability to zoom and touch the very spot you would like to measure is quite useful and is probably the only feature that I find useful after simply taking a general reading or an area reading off of an illuminated surface. But that’s me. I did look at some of the other features, but they are not elements by myself for use. I do have the sense, taking a general look at things, that they would be as well thought out, intelligently designed, and usable as the part that I use.

Awesome Light Meter. After testing the light meter through low light conditions in comparison to my Sekonic, the meter is off by 1/3, luckily the app’s settings allow you to include 1/3+ to all future readings. Sometimes I’d forget my meter at home, and this app is going to help a megaton as a backup.

Surprisingly accurate. I tried the free version of this and was happy that my images came out looking great. So I bought the pro version because it beats paying $300 for Sekonic. I'll still use my actual light meter for bigger projects, or if I'm using strobes. But the handiness having an accurate light meter in my pocket all the time can't be understated. Great app.

Great Light Meter App. I mainly use this app with my pinhole cameras because I can set a very small aperture, then the film ISO, and get the closest approximation of exposure time without any complicated calculations. Lots of settings makes this app valuable for any photographer. I recommend it!

Handy when you forget your primary light meter. I installed this app because I figured it would be better than nothing if I forget my Luna pro. Now that I’ve used it a while, I sometimes use this as my primary meter for my medium format photography. One of the better apps I’ve ever installed. Kudos to the developers.

The light meter is very nice!. The app is super easy to use and works great! I wish it had a bit more customization options for the app’s skin and maybe some camera presets. I could set up a camera to automatically adjust its settings based on my current camera or lens settings. But I think I might just be missing something simple with the current options!

I use it almost every day. I highly rate this app which I use in concert with the Luxi incident light meter dome attachment on an old iPhone. I use it almost every day in my home tabletop studio and it is very accurate and intuitive to use, especially in the Classic mode which is very reminiscent of the Weston Master meter I used 40+ years ago.

Great for old cameras. So I bought a few old cameras (mamiya c220, hasselblad 500cm) and none of them have a light meter, I was going to buy a dedicated meter but they are expensive and I don’t mind it but I will not use this cameras as my main format for now, so I tried this app (the pro version because a few dollars is nothing in the photography world) and the results where beyond my expectations!! Very impressive, very simple, and is in my pocket all the time :) thank you for such clever and great app!!

Best light metering app IMO. I Have used this app for about 4yrs, to meter scenes for 35mm and 120 film photography and for what it is, in my opinion it’s easily the best light meter app for IOS. Out of the 3-4 other ones I’ve tried out over the years it’s the most customizable as far as parameters and settings, you can also make custom lens profiles for quick access to locked settings, which I haven’t found in any others. It also has two different UI’s, One gives you a good bit more information like your hyperfocal distance and near focusing distance and the EV of the scene as well as being able to fine-tune and set limits on your shutter speeds and apertures. Most of all the accuracy of the meter is surprisingly good and you can evaluate a whole scene or take spot readings by tapping the area you want metered on the screen in pro mode. I have also compared with my 5d mkii meter and gotten comparable results. If you do notice it leaning more over or under exposed there is 1/3 stop Increment's of compensation +\- you can adjust in the settings. All in all a great tool for the one time price, especially if you don’t have much use for an expensive Light Meter for the type of photography you do this is definitely the best budget way to go.

Worthwhile. I almost never rate an app, but I felt the need to for this one. It’s an excellent and simple app. It doesn’t have unnecessary frills or try to milk money through subscriptions. It gets the job done very well. This app is also why I still practice film photography. The built in light-meter on my Pentax broke not long after I was given it. If it weren’t for this app, I would not have continued the hobby.

Fantastic app. I had a lot of trouble getting my account recognized at first, but customer service stepped up to the plate and fixed it. Worth it! Spectacular maps and features and definitely eclipses my old Garmin. Of course, get a battery to prolong walking around, and iPhone screens are iffy in the sun, but none of that is the app’s fault. Love it! And thank you customer service.

Super convenient and accurate. I love this app and have been using it for years! As long as I have my phone I always have a light meter. It’s very accurate, gets the same reading as my friend’s $200 “professional” meter. Works for everyday shooting and for large format work as well. Highly recommended.

Nearly Perfect!. This is by far the best light meter you can get, it is reliable and has a hefty amount of features with the pro version. My main use is for my Polaroid instant cameras for manual control. It nails every photo and I am happy with this app! My only complaint is about the user interface and experience. I wish it was a little more streamlined because sometimes it can feel like a little too much when you need to adjust or change something within the settings. I feel as though with time given, it’ll be easier to navigate but as a new user, it was so confusing. Other than that, I highly recommend this one.

For Instant Cameras—-Update.. The developer added the three Instax formats as separate film sizes!!! Perfect!!! I use this app primarily with different instant cameras including the Mint RF70 and SLR 670. Really allows me to nail the exposure and concentrate on the image. Emailed the developer about the hyperfocal distance for the RF70 and he advised using the 4x5” film size as a conservative measurement. Great app!!!

Buy this app. I don’t ever rate apps but as a film photographer I feel as if I have to help out this independent app developer. I do not own an actual light meter but this app gives me the proper exposure settings for 1/20th of the cost. I will eventually go out and spend the money on a light meter but until then, this app suits my needs 100%. I shoot with a Mamiya RB67 and some Canon and Olympus 35mm SLRs and this app never fails any of the cameras.

Excellent light-meter app!. MYLightmeterPro is extremely useful for film photography. The ability to capture record shots with exposure info is essential for my use of tracking the per-shot exposure setup on older cameras with no built-in method for adding data to the image.

Works great for Wet Plate Collodion as well. I found that the app has setting for Daguerreotype. Even though collodion isn’t daguerreotype it is pretty close. As a beginning wet plate photographer, I didn’t have the experience to get a good starting exposure. Using this app in daguerreotype mode, I can usually nail the first exposure.

Wow!. I was a little Leary when I first found this app. I wondered how a camera phone and software could accurately measure light. After all, physical light meters are quite expensive. However after reading the reviews and looking at just a few dollars for the app, I decided to pull the shutter! I am not disappointed!! As soon as it was downloaded, I set up three different product shots in my studio. I measured the different lighting using Led always-on lights and then switched out to 2 strobes. The accuracy of this app blew me away! Out of three setups and several images captured, None were off the mark. Thank you for creating this app. I am so glad I found it!

Long Exposure Life Saver. I wanted to wait until I got my film back before reviewing this app. I absolutely love the design of it and handling it is a breeze. Most importantly though it WORKS. I am a film photographer who shoots landscapes and waterfalls. Long exposure for waterfalls needs an accurate meter reading. I took a chance on a $4 app before burning $200+ on a real meter and it paid off. I got accurate and *consistent* exposures across 3 different lenses and 4 different film stocks. I wish I could include the photos this app helped produce in the review because it is spectacular. Easy to use in the field with instant results and high sensitivity to lighting changes. I am very pleased and so thankful someone put this out there for such a low price. ***I would like to point out that, when compared to my camera’s self meter, it’s results were less accurate indoors. If you mainly shoot portraiture or indoor scenes I can’t speak to how accurate it will be for that, but I give it a 10/10 for natural light

Works flawlessly. Game changer.. I’m an amateur film photographer with a highly limited short-term memory. This app enables shooting in very odd lighting conditions on cameras with a limited choice of shutter speed (one of my cameras is from the 1940s), and removes the risk that I divide wrong and ruin an exposure.

great but now broken?. This app has been great for years until today, all of a sudden the shutter speed dial only goes up to 240. beyond that no numbers even show up. I looked in the settings to see if something had changed and the minimum shutter value was still set to 500 as it should be. i deleted and redownloaded the app and yet for some reason it only goes to 1/240. this makes the app unusable for me now. Developers of the app, can you help?

Excellent App. I really don't know much about photography. I just wanted an app that would consistently quantify brightness. I surely can't make heads or tails of the PRO version but what impresses me is how consistently reads room light even with the lights out or sunlight. I have that other app that gives lumens and color temperature but it is not consistant. This app is a real tool.

Worth it. Just got my photos back from the developer and they look amazing. Each photo was exposed properly! I didn’t have a working light meter in my film camera so I decided to try this app out based off of a YouTuber’s recommendation, and it works well. No issues for me. I would definitely recommend.

I absolutely love this light meter but.... It turns down my volume every time I open it. It’s a deadly accurate meter, my film comes out perfect while using it and I absolutely love it. But if you’re listening to music and trying to meter, it takes over the volume and mutes it. It’s a bug that’s never been fixed and it’s aggravating.

Handier than my Gossen Luna Pro. I use a 1955 Rolleicord V when I shoot film (Ilford HP5 - 400). I like to carry as few things as possible - just the camera - and I would often leave my light-meter behind when I went out to shoot, relying on having memorized the “Sunny 16” rule to determine my exposure settings. I bought this meter after trying the free version. I always have my iPhone in my pocket, and this apps blend of features and skewmorpic similarity to a meter I am familiar with is just great. I’m quite pleased with all the features and settings and look forward to having the meter handy always. Thanks!

Worth it.. The pro version of MyLightMeter is everything it claims to be, works precisely even in low light, and is very intuitive to use. The developer, David, is great too, he was willing to make some tweaks to the program just to make it more useful to me, on my request. This app is worth your money.

Convenient app. It’s a great little app that helps take great pictures. I’ve been using it on spontaneous trips when a physical meter isn’t available. Most people always have their phone on them, why not have a quick tool to help in a pinch.

Very handy. This is a great app. I’ve found it to be quite accurate. A feature I like is the ability to match the meter to specific focal length lenses. As I always have my phone with me, it saves the space that would be taken by a separate meter. The camera I muse it with is a Mamiya C330 Professional S and my normal meters are a Gossen Luna Pro and a Pentax Spotmeter

Great results. I bought this app to use with my Rolleicord V, which has no built in metering. The results have been excellent, and the app was much cheaper than buying batteries for my old Gossen Lunasix. It's quick and intuitive to use, and I like the way I can tap to spot meter a point in the scene.

Nicely Done. I am a collector of vintage photography. I have hundreds of cameras, in just about every format. I really appreciate all of them and their differences. Using this app has been a joy to use for all my toys. I, like others was a little unsure about getting the app but I heard so many great things and reviews, I figured I’d try it. Using this app and my own way of doing certain things over the years I get very nice results. It is truly a great app to have with you all the time.

It really helps to teach how to read light. Just wanted to say thanks to the developers behind the app, it’s solid does not crash and it loads very fast without getting in my way with annoying messages or ads. Great work

A Lightmeter You Always Have On You. With my digital and film slrs with there auto everything, it’s nice to have an accurate meter with me when I take a fully manual camera out. It’s as accurate as my Gossen Luna Pro F and my old Sekonics. Thanks for keeping the app updated. Very handy to have with me all the time.

It works.. I was skeptical about this product when dedicated light meters are hundreds of dollars. But, I wanted to give it a try. I put this alongside my brand new Sony A7 III and metered a few dozen locations, indoors and outside. This meter app was within 1/3 of a stop each time or dead on the money. Well worth the purchase price.

Brilliant app, Responsive support.. Recently I had noticed a to EV reading discrepancy between the classic and pro modes. David responded to my email within literally minutes and gave me some things to look at. Ultimately fixing the issue was simply deleting the app, rebooting my phone, and then reinstalling. In hindsight I should’ve known to try this first, but it was good to have a brief conversation with the developer. Excellent app, super support!

Perfect accessory app for film photography. Can't find anything to complain about! Provides accurate matrix and spot metering. I use it with my 70 year old TLR and my 90 year old folder and get accurate exposures 90% of the time. Any misses I'm sure are down to the lack of precise shutter speeds and aperture in those cameras. So much cheaper than a separate meter and never have to worry about not having one with me. Sometimes I just pull it out and meter my surrounding to test my eye.

Very clever app. I love this app. The developer thought in everything. Very convenient to have it as part of my iPhone. I had used another for this same purpose; but was disappointed. It also has an excellent personalized support. Congratulations to David for such an excellent work.

Convenient and helpful. When I first started learning film photography I was a little lost then I downloaded this app and my photography has changed completely. This app is user friendly!! Very easy to use and have with you at all times. You never know when you’ll need it :)

Impressed. I was a bit skeptical at first but I just picked up a camera with no meter and needed something quick for a trip and for only $3 it was worth a try compared to buying an expensive meter. I received scans back from the lab and all of the exposures were metered exactly how I intended when using the app(used in pro mode with selective metering). I like to travel with the least I can and always have my phone on me so I’ll keep using this app in the future.

On par with spot meter in OM4. I tested this along side my Olympus OM4t’s internal spot meter and it was spot on. Only downside is it’s kinda fussy with 200 iso on 6x7 cameras. Especially the 6x7 because it will tell you f stops that you don’t have. But that’s partially the fact that the lens doesn’t give display every f stop. Overall this app work’s impressively well. Makes film photography more accessible witch is needed with how expensive film is.

Very Accurate. This is a great app, it’s right on. I’ve measured it against multiple light meters, including the excellent meter in a new leica MP and it’s great. There are a few features I wish it had, I wish I could save the measurements, lens and aperture/shutter and phone photo it’s taking, so I don’t have to keep a notebook of shots as well. I also wish it had frame lines for the lens it’s got as a preset. But as a simple light meter, it’s excellent. I stopped carrying an additional meter after testing it.

Valuable Tool; Accurate. I’ve been using this for 4 years on and off when I’m out shooting my manual film cameras. I’ve never had a bad exposure metering with this app! I’ve compared its metering with other in camera dslr’s and vintage light meters and it’s never been off a half stop at most, which is never an issue with post processing. I love the details with being able to have presets for different lenses and while I don’t use the hyper-focal distance readout too often it’s super handy when you do need it. For anyone wanting something quick to check metering they need not sleep on this gem!

Best meter app and great support!. I’ve been using this app regularly for nearly six years in combination with a Sekonic meter. By adjusting the EV setting, you can match the app to a traditional meter for even more accuracy. For the first time, after a recent update, I had problems with the app. I reached out to David and had a reply, including a work around within hours. The app was updated again within days and has been trouble free. It says a lot when a app has one problem in many years of use.

Best Free light meter Ever!. For a free app this little thing has saved me time and time again when I was trying to get just the right settings and didn’t want to carry a big bulky light meter with me. I just used my phone.

Outstanding!. I shoot a lot of film on vintage cameras, and I find that this meter is unbelievably accurate. I have a Luna six classic light meter which works as well, but having a program on my phone which is always in my pocket, makes this a true winner!

Easy to use. Update July 2019. I haven’t used the meter for a while. When I opened it this morning I hit ‘don’t access my camera’ and BOOM! Screen went black and I can’t get back to the meter. Annoying. I guess I have to dump it and buy it again. Old review when I liked this app: I have a bunch of old cameras, a couple don’t have meters so this works for me. I’m going to have my phone with me anyway so having the meter in my phone cuts down on gear. Some of these old cameras are heavy and bulky enough. DDahlberg

Works Amazing. Just went back to black and white film. Once I got this light meter app it changed how great the photos are coming out. It works amazing I don’t even use the hand held light meter this is easier especially when trying to shoot quick.

Fantastic.. Skeuomorphic design may not be everybody’s thing anymore, but this is a marvelous example of when it works. The functionality is perfect. The interface is good. The feel is wonderful. This feels like a return to form for the App Store of yore.

Tremendous support. I am new to rangefinder photography and using a light meter. I downloaded myLightMeter Pro a little while back and am now working to get proficient with it. I had a question regarding its use that I could not sort out via web searches, etc. I emailed David, the developer, and he responded in roughly 12 hours with the answer. That’s tremendous support and I wish o could vibe him 10 stars for it.

good but needs more. I use this app whenever i forget to bring my Sekonic meter. It helps me get a close reading for what I am doing with my film. I just wish you could create your own profile that included limiters for ISO, Aperture and Shutter speeds as it would help between the types of cameras I use.

It works but without focal length and spot metering I don’t use it anymore.. I used this with a 50mm lens with good results. Im not sure the actual field of view or focal length this measures but its harder to use and more inaccurate with wider and longer lenses esp with 60/40 meters. I don't understand why the window is a circle when camera sensors are rectangular. The app I use now has a slider you can change the focal length and also has a spot meter to expose for particular regions much more useful.

One less thing to remember to bring. This is such a great app. Handy and reliable. Love the vintage GUI. Easy to use.

Tested. Readings seem close enough to my dslr meter. The spot meter uses an incredibly large area of the photo instead of a spot making that mode unusable for me. Other apps can spot meter on a far smaller area of the image. Hopefully an update to choose smaller areas to spot meter will come at some point.

garbage app. stay away

Straightforward and accurate. A great product that helps those with vintage or LOMO cameras get the best exposure possible.

Where’s 1/200? Where’s 1/25. Sorry - I can’t seem to find a support page or contact, so leaving my question here. I bought the Pro version to use with an Agfa Isolette, and I’m trying to set up a lens preset. The Isolette has the Agfa Agnar 1:4,5/85 with the shutter speeds being 1/200, 1/50, 1/25 or Bulb. The Aperture goes from f/32 to f/4.5. Setting the limits in presets I can set f/32 for the aperture, but can only set 1/250 for the shutter speed. Classic Mode - which is what I’d prefer to use, doesn’t have 200 - it goes from 125 to 250, so I have to guess in the middle somewhere, nor does it show f/4.5 - I have to guess in the middle of 5.6 and 4. Having to guess so much kind of defeats the purpose of using a light meter. So, perhaps you can tell me the best presets for my camera?

Amazing, use it for everything. Best light meter app, if I didn’t need to measure flash I’d only use this

A well-designed lightmeter app. This app is the most efficient and easy to use light meter app. The perfect tool to use with my manual camera.

Accurate. Just missing f/1.7 for some reason, max aperture of my 40mm lens, otherwise works great

Excellent app. I have an old western master and this is just like using the real thing. Well done!

So buggy. Can’t believe this costs money. Hang ups, crashes, black screens etc buggy as hack!

Great App. This is really nice app to use. Gives accurate readings and has choice of interfaces that are quick and detailed. Highly recommend.

Waste of money. I wish it worked like an EVF (electronic viewfinder) on a mirror less camera. It would be better if; When adjusting the exposure compensation to -1, the live camera view also darkens to -1 to visually represent the exposure.

Almost perfect!. An excellent app in every respect - fun to use and with excellent accuracy and setting options - except that the ‘ISO setting’ control, presently accessible on the front of the hand meter by simply swiping your finger up or down the screen - is too easy to accidentally change without realising it. It would be better to have the ISO setting control more deeply buried in the Pro screen or in Settings. This app will be used by film photographers, and film photographers don’t change their film’s ISO very often, and certainly never in mid-roll. Think back to a real old fashioned light meter and how relatively difficult it used to be to change the ASA/ISO setting; this app should be the same! Otherwise 5 Stars!

Very accurate, great light meter!. I have used this app for a couple of years now with my film cameras and found it very useful. Highly recommend it. Tested it with my Canon pro DSLR (took digital photo based on reading from app) and couldn't fault it. I have several "proper" light meters but this one gets used the most 'cause it's right there in my pocket! Cheapest meter I own, and very simple/quick to use. The free version works well too, but definitely worth upgrading for the extra features. I haven't really used the "incident metering" function because I don't have a diffuser, but "reflected metering" suits me. I really like the fact that on the "Pro" screen (as opposed to the retro-looking one) you can bring up a full screen picture and see the brightness change as you move around; ie. it gives you a preview of what your photo will look like before you take the reading, very handy! Also I like the fact that you can meter off just a small patch of the picture, possibly ~10 degree spot. Exposure compensation is very handy, as is the hyperfocal info (available when you save your lens specs to the presets); I like having the ISO right up front too because I'm often using 3-4 cameras with different film emulsions and need to change it often. It really does meter to -4EV, and has proved accurate when I've used it under moonlight! Very good feature, rare even on professional (read: expensive!) meters. I've tried several other similar apps, this is my favourite. Definitely a thumbs up!!

Handy to have. Having a light meter in your pocket all the time, brilliant. Simple to use and accurate.

Works as Claimed. A great accessory for tricky lighting situations.

Very useful. Reliable app when shooting film

Meter in ya pocket. Not used this app with my camera that yet. However, it works just like my old Gossen light meter and it has some nice features like the hyper focal distance reading which is good for landscape photography.

Wasn't it suppose to give an average?. I press The average button, then i take more than one light reading which should give The average between the previous readings and The last one every time i press hold and read the light....but it simply doesn't work :( Did anybody find out? A part of that works good

Great app.. Works as it should.

Excellent light meter on iPhone 6. Accurate, versatile and easy to use. I find it easy to set my canon 6D DSLR on manual mode using this app. It's also fun to see what settings you need in different lighting conditions.

Seems to work well. Recently I unearthed an old film camera and, on finding the exposure meter battery dead, decided to go manual and try a light meter app instead. So far I'm very happy with this. Minor quibbles: I don't think the average mode is working for me, and I'd like finer grained options in the lens presets (e.g. I have a lens with a max aperture of f1.7, but the app only includes f1.6 or f1.8 as nearest choices). As I say, minor quibbles. Overall, cheaper than the battery I would have had to buy, and much cheaper than a dedicated light meter. Thanks.

Well-designed and accurate. Great app. Very accurate so far.

Your support email does not work anymore. Why can’t I select independent values for shutter speed and f stop and see a preview? The app seems to work like a camera on automatic settings where you can’t change one setting without it automatically adjusting the other.

Crashes on startup. Current version crashes a lot on startup. When it works it’s a great app otherwise

Classic design backed up by accuracy. A handy app to take readings when out and about with meterless vintage cameras. The Gossen-inspired UI works a treat.

Accurate and easy to use. Well implemented app. Checked against my Weston light meter, and it seems to be really accurate. Easier to read and interpret too.

Bonne application. Fait très bien le travail. Facile et agréable d'utilisation.

Very helpful and accurate. Love this amazing app.

PERFECT!!. I calibrated myLightmeter Pro to my Leica's meter. I went on a trip to New York a few weeks ago with my Rolleiflex and iPhone. This app was the perfect companion. Very happy with how it worked. It's simple with its shutter speed and aperture dials work together. Real "Old School" feel. I recommend this app.

Accurate and convenient!. The only digital thing I use when I shoot. Accurate and flexible.

A+. Great app . I highly recommend it !

A second life for an old camera.. A great app that allowed me to resurrect a great old Spotmatic. The ability to set profiles to match your lenses is great.

My Light Meter. An excellent tool for amateur and serious photographers. I would put up against any light meter.

Better than any regular meter. It has a better range than any hand held light meter ive ever used.

Very Nice App. Does the job well. Accurate as far as I can tell.

A great light meter app. This is an accurate, versatile light meter with a wide range of settings and the most analog feel of any light meter app available. Pairs nicely with an old analog film camera for a retro feel on a digital device.

Diffuser for incident lighting. Would appreciate if the developer could recommend a diffuser for an iPhone. Not sure what to use. Impressive app.

Nice app but one suggestion. Hi I really like ur app, but I wonder could u add a new function "save to log" into the app, so that I don't have to take notes on what aperture and shutter speed I was using? Thanks a lot!

Works well. Actually, works better than I thought it would have. Seems to be accurate and a worthwhile purchase.

Easy, Intuitive, use for Film. Handy for all kinds of film and all kinds of film cameras. From 35 mm to large format bellows cameras and medium format film!

love this app. super helpful! usually have no issues until today. my camera is working outside of the app but not in app. just a white screen. :(

Great. Works as it should.

Pro Photographer. Very accurate and well built software with useful features. Spot metering and EV scale are essential features. Nice design as well. Very pleased.

This can be your only light meter. This app stays on my home screen because I get accurate results with something I always have wiith me. I like the lens presets as I can make one for each of my vintage rangefinders and if I want, compensate for filter factors at the same time.

Great app. Looked be this app, excellent.

Good alternative. Great app. Worth the money especially considering the price for a real dedicated meter. The pro version is worth it just for the fact that it remembers your iso.

Love it but latest version crashes ever time I use it. I tried to contact you via your support page rather than use a review to report this but it looks like your me.com account is no longer valid and I could not find any other contact info. The latest version of the app (I am using iPhone XS) crashes every time it goes to the background (including when the lock screen is used) causing me to have to reopen the app and choose my settings every time I want to take a picture which is time consuming and error prone. I use classic mode exclusively but the app always reopens in pro mode on me and sometime rests the iso value. Otherwise I really enjoy the app and hope this crash can be resolved quickly so I do not need to find a new light meter app. Thanks.

Fab!. Accurate, great spot meter, easy to use, no fuss no muss

Very commendable light meter.. This app works extremely well. I have used it next to my LunaPro and it's very accurate!

Great app, well made.. Would definitely recommend. Solid app. Good functionality.

Classic looking light meter. Good app. Fairly accurate. I’ve used it with my Leica M3, and the pictures turned out great.

In a word, No. This app is easily surpassed by several competitors. Two stars because it will "sometimes" read exposure data from iPhone photos, which is helpful in determining exposure compensation, and is a great idea...If it worked all the time.

Very useful and accurate. Great reflective light metre.

5 Stars. Works remarkably well. Very pleasantly surprised. Keep up the great wail guys.

Terrible. I have an iphone8. Crashes all the time. Worse, when it is working (which is rare) every time I pull it out if my pocket, I can’t help touching the screen and every time the ISO shifts from my last setting. Why is there no ISO lock?

Great app. Easy to operate, always at hand and remarkably accurate.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Very convenient and easy!. Easy to use, made a big difference from trying to use the “Sunny 16 rule” on all manual cameras or those that the light meter is no longer working!

Always in my Pocket. This meter is always with me and is highly accurate! I use it to shoot vintage film cams with excellent results. Couldn’t live without it!

Fantastic!. This is a wonderful app that fits the bill for my needs. I use it for settings and conversions when I shoot with my pinhole camera and have had no issues.

Accurate & easy. I’ve been using this with 35mm and 120 cameras and I get consistent spot-on exposure. Easy & intuitive to use.

Accurate and easy to use. Application works well. Who would have thought you’d use your phone to set the aperture on your film camera. I’d like to see a “spot” feature.

A Great Surprise. Compared to my highly accurate Gossens this meter is surprisingly accurate. Frankly, I was skeptical of a phone based meter until I made comparisons under various lighting conditions to the the Gossens.

So easy to use. I’ve been shooting over 40 years , mostly with 3 Rolleiflex TLRs. Every so often come across a quirky situation , and this works as well and even easier than my Minolta digital meter. And I always have my phone.

Great product….. handy in the field. Easy to use ….. lets me get to the part of taking pictures….

Works well for film and certain digitals. Since I do a bit of film and have an EOS-M that doesn’t preview manual lenses well, this app is a perfect fit for me. In addition, I can take comparison shots on various apps and get an idea for how I can make film presets in On1.

Shutter Speeds not displayed ideally. The shutter speeds over 1 second need an “s” after the number. Because on every shutter dial on every camera, “4” means 1/4, and “4s” means 4 seconds. We are used to seeing it that way. It’s easy to get confused in the app when it says “4” and think it means 1/4.

Great Meter. I use this meter constantly with my Nikon rangefinder and F Photomic Ftn for calculating exposure extremely helpful even with slide film …accurate and easy to use.

Simple and ez to use. It's so nice to see an app that doesn't have a subscription. This is by far my favorite light meter.

Fast, accurate, just what i needed. More accurate than my camera’s light meter

Worth it. Helps me to shot hundreds of photos with accurate light data. If you’re a film lover, this is the app you want.

Works better than I thought it would. Works better than I thought it would

Well Done!. Well designed, beautifully executed. Straightforward to use and overall a great experience!

Works well. Using it to learn more about my camera settings. Works similar to classic style light meters used by pros. I only wish the tech could support flash metering...

The light meter you have with you. Works almost as well as an actual light meter and is always on hand

Glad I Bought This. This is one of my favorite apps. The film cameras I use need a meter and they are so old (cds vintage) that I need some assistance. This meter gives me accurate readings and I couldn’t ask for more.

Super helpful!!. I use this app with my Yashica Mat 124-G since the meter on the camera is broken, and it works great! My exposures are consistently correct when I use it and it’s a much more affordable option than a “real” handheld meter.

Well done!. This is the most accurate iPhone light meter I have used and the two interfaces are very well done.

Great App. I’ll use this app on photo shoots when I’m shooting cameras like a Mamiya C330 or RB67 that don’t have meters. Outside during the day I’m happy to go with just “sunny16,” but shooting indoors or in more of a studio environment with film cameras, this app has been very helpful. Thanks guys!

Favorite light meter app. Worth the $$$. SSIA. I can count on one hand the amount of apps I've paid for. This is one of them. My exposures are better than with a $200 sekonic meter.

Great Light Meter App. The app does a very good job as a light meter. It has a nice old school light meter interface, us older folk can appreciate.

Effective app. Nice app to have when out and about taking photos. I enjoy the manual process more than priority modes. This app gets the job done. Interface design is well done.

Excellent Solution. I revived my Minolta SRT 101 but couldn’t find the proper battery. I chose this app and it works flawlessly. Simple to use and very accurate. I highly recommend this app

Excellent Meter. I have been using this meter for about 6 months it works great The only addition I would like to see are more tutorials on how and when to use each of the modes.

The Best. This is by far the best and most comprehensive meter, and you have your phone with you, you have your meter with you, no more digging around in your bag, or changing batteries. The Pro version is the way to go

Very Accurate. I am a camera repair technician, I recommend this app to my customers that have cameras with non- functioning light meters, due to it's accuracy. The only wish I have is that the hyperfocal distances could be toggled from meters to feet.

Amazing!. This app is amazing! I’ve developed quite a few rolls I’ve metered using this app, and I haven’t been let down yet! The price for the pro version is absolutely, unequivocally worth it!

Great light meter app!. I have found this app. Very useful. I get good results with it under most lighting conditions. I highly recommend it.

Getting into Film? Get this.. Awesome tool, tried out several other apps, and this was by far the one I kept coming back to. Use it all the time and swear by it.

Excellent!. A very comprehensive app that I use regularly. I shoot film with cameras that are completely manual so having a reliable meter on my phone is invaluable. I recommend this app!

Very useful for older film cameras!. I use both old and new instant cameras (Polaroid and Instax) and old 35mm Canon film SLRs. This has been very useful for managing exposure expectations with the relatively simple Polaroid and Instax cameras and double checking the performance of my old SLRs. Some options are a little confusing and maybe unnecessary?

Perfect companion to an analog photographer on the run. I compared readings of the incident classic meter with my Sekonic L 398 and it's pretty spot on. The only thing lacking is the 3 dimensional reading that you get from a lumisphere, so the app is better suited for individual readings on contrasted situations.

Just Works. No fuss, easy to use, reasonably accurate. A great backup for when the meter battery in my Spotmatic dies while I’m in the field. Highly recommended. I do have the Pro very

Amazing. I’ve been using this as my light meter for about 2 years now. Practically perfect in its accuracy; amazing and highly recommend!

Light Meter is Great. This app is extremely helpful for all my photography needs. No figuring when you’re taking photos on the fly, this app does it all for you. Terrific!

Surprisingly reliable. I first use the free version. I liked it. But now with the pro version, I love this like meter. It’s perhaps my favorite app, and I’m not and apps. I highly recommend the Pro version.

Works very well. I shot a roll of Portra 400 through my vintage Kodak Retina camera using only the setting recommended by this app and the exposures were spot on.

Fabulous!. Thank you for supporting and updating the app. Now I can use my iPhone for something very useful and fun again. I will recommend it to all my film photographers. 👌

Accurate and very useful. I’ve been using this app instead of the default lightmeter on my TLR and have had excellent results. The exposures are usually dead-on and it’s very easy to use and flexible.

Truly, a tool with unending usefulness. Accurate, easy to use, not perfect, but you can definitely tell it was made by a photographer for photographers.

Doesn’t work anymore. I’ve been using the free version and is great But since I got the new iPhone and the update the app stop working. I only see a black screen Please help.

Please allow locked shutter and f-stop!. I bought this pro version to help figure out exposure for some quirky lomo film cameras I have. They typically have a single shutter speed and one or two available f-stop settings. I would love to be able to lock the f-stop and shutter to help determine which ISO film would work best in a particular environment.

Highly recommended. I tried this multiple times with different film cameras for photography and was super accurate. This app really surprised me!

It’s legit. I use this meter with my Yashica TLR and a few old Kodaks and a Zeiss Ikon netar. It is spot on. It has helped me take wonderful photographs. I have used it next to my Sekonic light meter and this app is its twin. It’s like a spot meter and an incident like meter at the same time. Highly recommend!

Amazing. Have used this for about a year now, and it’s just so frickin accurate. Certainly much better than carrying around a cumbersome light meter, and the readings are always good.

Very helpful app!. I have several Gossen meters, but this app on my phone has been a treat to use! I can operate my Olympus Pen-f via phone, and read the scene via phone conveniently! Delighted!

ISO limited to 6400. With new cameras cleaning noise in-camera, and with availability of software to clean ISO noise, and considering the native and extended ISO range of cameras and the varying desired effects of photographers, the ISO limitation of 6400 seems to make this otherwise smooth program outdated by ten years.
