Easy to use and it works!

Really like the app. I paired it with a Meross Wi-Fi smart plug (outdoor version) and the set up took 5 minutes with my apple Home Network. The app is simple and straightforward. Here are a couple of constructive critiques and a few wishlist upgrades:
1. Need to add 1/10s of a second.
2. ± ev adjustment button needs to be more prominent / larger.
3. Screen brightness constantly changing, although it never appeared to fog my paper.
4. Addition of dodge/burn times (building a sequence)
5. Memory of sequence / ability to add notes
6. Multi channel for split printing

Looking forward to continued use!
