What's New in Cutvey Meter

Cutvey Meter now speaks 41 languages. It follows your device language, or pick one in Settings. • SUN works without a compass: point the camera at the sun once and the sun path lines up. • Hold LOG to measure from RAW, and the reading is saved to your library. • A new Liquid Glass look, and a cleaner layout on iPad. • If a reading can't be saved, the app keeps it, tries again, and tells you the reason. • Sign-in fixes, including codes typed with Arabic or Persian digits.
