What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"Great meter app and usually my first port of call when shooting. If you could add a calculation of reciprocity failure for long exposures with popular film types it would be perfect!"
Simon Barber
"I like the app it looks useful but it would be nice if when you change a setting manually... after measuring that the other settings adjust to compensate... even if it is a separate function."
Andrew Kerr
"Excellent tool for approximate low light and long exposure analog photography. Allows you to change variables with sliders based on readings obtained with your phone camera."
Justin Brown
"Seems to work, just not for what i need. I need a histogram to assist in taking flat frames for astrophotography. Just need to see a histogram of a flat frame picture my phone is taking."
Jesse James
"Didn't work"
Cameron Wheatley
"Nags to upgrade almost every tap of the screen. Also, not so good an interface. David Quiles light meter app is more useful and looks like a real world light meter."
avi das
"This is the finest light meter app, period. Not only is is seriously accurate, but having the ability to manipulate the exposure and play with different combinations is hughely valuable especially for Large Format and Medium Format photographers. Very impressed."
Adam D'Agosto
"Very useful!"
Ian Tester
