Leave a Review Light Meter Ultra
Absurdly high subscription cost
These light meter apps are basically accessing the abilities of your built-in camera and feeding the info to you. Apple would probably add this for free if there was enough demand, but most people using an iPhone have no need for an old film camera. In earlier days a clever programmer who was also a traditional photographer would build this app on their hobby time and give it away. Today, we’re conditioned to eternally subscribe to everything, owning nothing and being forever in debt. Yeah, that’s a screed that’s probably overblown for this innocuous app, and yet the pricing on this app is such an excellent example of how genuinely insane we’ve become. Happy shooting.Show lessVermiculite

Hi Vermiculite, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Light Meter Ultra. We appreciate your feedback and understand your concerns regarding the subscription cost. Our aim with Light Meter Ultra is to provide a reliable and precise tool for photography enthusiasts and professionals alike. While it’s true that our app leverages the capabilities of your iPhone’s camera, it also includes specialized features that require ongoing development, regular updates, and compatibility with the latest iOS versions. These efforts ensure that the app remains accurate, functional and performant across a range of devices and configurations. The subscription model allows us to continually improve and maintain the app, covering not just development costs but also customer support, marketing, and other operational expenses. We understand that subscription models aren’t for everyone, which is why we offer a free tier that includes many of the core features of the app, with the option to upgrade for those who need additional professional tools. We also offer a free trial for our PRO plan so that you can explore all the features before making a commitment. Our pricing options are designed to be flexible, with discounts for longer-term plans, and you can cancel at any time. We hope this helps clarify our approach, and we’re always here to listen to further feedback. Please feel free to reach out through the support link in the app or via our App Store product page.

Says in app purchases. Which means you can still use it and there are also subscriptions available. It’s actually a subscription ONLY app and it’s freaking $16 a month. Should put that on the first page so this will go all the way to the bottom of the list where it belongs.park guru

Listed as “free” but costs $4 per month.
It’s cheaper to buy a portable light meter. At least you’d own it. This app is a subscription hostage taker like Adobe. Adobe is being investigated and charged for unfair pricing practices.awprc
