  • This is a compass

    This is stupid. I have a compass on my phone. This is no different than a compass. I want my dollar back

    It does not actually measure light intensity (wanted to test it on the LED lights I got for my hydroponics)
  • Works great

    I almost didn’t download after reading the reviews. I’m so glad I did. Although this utility uses a back-facing camera, it doesn't take much effort to get a reading. Just point in the general direction — I had no problem seeing the screen at the same time I was checking light quality. If you aren’t getting a reading you expect, tilt the camera a bit one way or the other to grab the light. Easy!

    Also, there is a numerical meter that will give more detail than ‘very low’, ‘low’, etc. I have about 150 plants in my home at any given time (for the Farmers Market) and this helps cut out the guesswork.

  • Doesn’t work

    Doesn’t work don’t waste the money
  • Idk what app everyone else is using

    My room gets I would personally say medium light and I tested it out and it said “very low.” I decided to really put it to the test by going to the brightest south facing window in my house and it said “low” still. Then I put it directly at the sun and it said “medium.” To me it seems off and it’s a waste of money just use your eyeballs to tell

  • I sigh

    It's a circular failure: Plant Light needs Camera access.

    Have at, says I.

    Here's your settings, says Plant Light.

    Ok, where do I find the permission? ask I

    I'm not telling, answers Settings.

    I dunno, shrugs Plant Light.

    Allow plant light app camera access? I ask Google Light meter for plants, responds Google

    More apps? 🔽 asks Google

    It worked before, I sigh. I don't know.

  • Almost there

    I like it, but a numerable value would be nice, and it would be nice to be able to flip the camera.
  • Not compatible with new iPhones

    This app worked on my iPhone 6s but not on th iPhone 11. They need to update access to the camera in the new iPhone protocols. Don’t Buy!
  • Doubtful

    In direct sunlight it goes back and forth between medium and high. DIRECT. SUNLIGHT. It’s very easy to use but I don’t feel it’s very accurate
  • At least it was only $1

    Reads as very low even when pointing out the window on a sunny day.
  • It should use the front camera to measure the light

    The fact that it only uses the back camera to measure light it makes no sense - how you read the light when you have to turn your phone down to use it - seems like they didn’t put much thought on the user experience or even use their product themselves
