Don’t bother

Can’t even set an ISO to meter off, try and you get an error message, with ‘yes’ instead of ‘okay’ as your only option because it assumes you are metering for the digital sensor on your phone that auto adjusts anyway. Absolutely useless for film photography. There’s free apps better than this.

Please continue to update to match android app

This app has so much potential, it leaves a bit to be desired, let me tap to select the area of the screen I want to meter for. I would like better accuracy in metering for the shutter speed when the exposure is longer than 3 seconds . I used the app on android for 3 years and it was perfect

Terrible on iOS

The image projected is stretched on ALL cameras. Can’t turn off histogram even if you uncheck the option. Can’t tap and select the area you want a reading… this app really needs a lot of work. The Android version is way more polished. For now, save your money and wait to see if the devs fix these issues.

Great feedback! Thank you for reporting. The issues reported here should have been fixed in the latest update, please let me know if they were not addressed on your phone. dev@lightmeter.dev I'm steadily working on bringing the iOS app to parity with the Android app, I've been working on the Android one for almost a decade so there's a lot of code to rewrite. If you have any other feedback, please send it to me: dev@lightmeter.dev

Accurate but very buggy

I’ve found this to be accurate and feature filled but very buggy.

Eg. Cannot contact developer as button is broken.

Selecting a shutter speed in reciprocity calculator bounces you back to main screen.

Hello! Sorry about that, I fixed the reciprocity calculator bug a few versions ago. Please send over any feedback (or bugs) you have: dev@lightmeter.dev

Not optimized for iOS

The free android version is more complete and the reciprocity calculator is not to be trusted in iOS. The spot meter function doesn’t work 80% of the time. I would love to see what the android version does on iOS. I’m using iPhone 13 pro max for reference
