Reviews of Lightmate

Clean & Accurate

This is my favorite light meter app, by far. An extremely simple and easy way to get accurate metering quickly, and it looks great too. A bit of a learning curve (it’s extremely minimalist) but brilliant once you get the hang of it.

Clear and Simple

Thanks Luis for giving us this super easy light meter app at no charge. Love it!

Amazing app with perfect exposure metering

I use Lightmate all the time with my Mint RF70. Every photo that I’ve used the metering results from Lightmate have come out stellar. If time permits, I never take a photo without it. Highly recommended. Will definitely be using this with my incoming Rollei as well.
