App is fantastic, straightforward and easy way to use my phone as a light meter and calculate shutter speed and aperture for my film camera. The sliders are extremely intuitive and quick, exactly the app I was looking for after trying a couple other popular ones and being disappointed.

The app has some promise, but it is a long way from being usable. One needs to be able to *set* chosen parameters (e.g. ISO, apperture) and have the app calculate the unset one or, if all are set, show the resulting under/over-exposed image. Also, the ads are FAR too intrusive. I would strongly suggest the developer remove the ads completely until the app is a lot more polished.

It is very hard for me to find out how much does the app actually cost (Android version), and what are the buying conditions. I use the app, I like it and I would buy it, but not blindly. I give it only four stars because of insufficient information.

I bought this to help me with an vintage Zeiss 6X9 camera. The application is great. I would suggest that being able to lock ISO and Focal Length would be much help to those using film cameras and / or prime lenses. That would be a 5+ Star application, especially given the very reasonable price. I also have an observation, when I set my 6X9 format and check 35mm equivalent the focal length and equivalent display the same value.

The new update forces me to get online to use it . Very bad move. Just updated now. Beautiful, the was it was. 5 Stars now.

Nags to upgrade almost every tap of the screen. Not a 'friendly' Friend at all. Also, not so good an interface. David Quiles' light meter app is more useful and looks like a real world light meter, makes it easier to go between real light meters and his app.

* Reflected light meter. If your phone has a camera and you grant access, a viewfinder is shown on the main screen. Point to the subject and touch the viewfinder to take a picture. The EV will be estimated based on the picture.

* Incident light meter. If your phone has a light sensor, the illuminance in lux is shown, and the estimated EV. Touch the viewfinder area to transport EV to the respective calculator gauge.

* Easy-to-use depth-of-field calculator. Just dial aperture, focal length and subject distance. DoF is expressed as numbers and graphically. Distance unit and DoF parameters can be tweaked at Settings.

Photo Friend is a free app with in-app purchase of ad-free mode.
