Awesome app, fast and pretty accurate. Tested against a Sekonic L-308S with multiple phones, there's some variance which is obviously due to the phones sensors. Purchasing the Pro version lets you save calibrations so you can compensate for the inaccuracies of your phone. Well done author!

Works well, looks great, but it always immediately forgets everything the instant you go away from it. I would suggest two things: 1) have it lock to the last reading it took, so that if you put the phone away, but then decide you want to change aperature, you can just bring it back up and know it's the same. 2) have it remember what ISO was last selected! This is probably the most annoying part, though it is only an annoyance.

Pretty accurate as measured against my dslr's meter. I just don't know where the incident reading reads from (back or front camera). If i cover one or both, it's still jumping around. The reflective mode works dandy!

I didn't test it against a proper Sekonic lightmeter but all the pictures I took with my film camera are spot on. I like the app a lot. Just a quick comment to the developer though: would it be possible to change the colours of whole seconds to orange? I think that's the standard on most cameras and lightmeters, sub-seconds are white and whole seconds orange. Plus that'll eliminate some minor confusions about repeating numbers on the main dial.

I like the simplicity of this, it just does the light metering. One thing I find annoying is that it never remembers what I did last. So every time I want to take a reading, I have to set the asa and then switch it to reflective metering

I saw this app and thought I'd give it a try. I've been a keen photographer for years, so have a handheld light meter. I'm afraid to say that the app didn't agree with the meter reading. Also it doesn't handle flash metering. So I think my trusty Polaris meter will still be hung around my neck at weddings and other events for the foreseeable future.

About this app

I've made this app for real old school photographers or advanced amateurs shooting analog photography. I always give the first version for free without limitations, but improvements, new features and users requests are only made for the paid version. For the price of a soda you will support hundreds of hours of work and will get more features and improvements.

LightMeter's reflected light meter only works with devices that are able to save exif data. Incident light meter should work on any device, but it is usually insufficient for real photographers.

Be advised that the precission and quality of this and all phone light meters is limited by the device itself. I recommend using the reflected light option, the precission can be really good.

Features:

-Incident light metering (needs light sensor)
-Reflected light metering (needs camera, only a few are compatible)
-Spot measure if camera has zoom.
-Support for all screens, including extra high resolution.
-Want more? get the noAds version, this one only gets bug fixes updates. And the noAds version gets real improvements like: Better performance than LightMeter Free, Camera sound can be muted. (not in all countries), Exif and sensor info on screen optionally, Incident light metering hold, Alternative ISO selector, State and ISO recall on resume, and much more as long as I keep getting downloads. Currently I'm getting support from 0.016% of the users. Thank you!

App permissions: The app uses the standard permissions for an ad based app that uses the camera and light sensor. There is plenty of info about this on google search so you can check. AdMob is used.

Thanks for your support
