Truly excellent in some ways

But I’m using it to measure the LUX of LED flashlights. In this application a new feature would really help.

Other LUX light meters have a setting for Min / Avg / Max, and can continuously monitor the light intensity and store either the Min or the Avg or the Max LUX seen. This is extremely helpful. And you could store all 3 at once with your wonderful app!

Creating a graph of actual LUX over time and downloading its data would also be really helpful.

There is no explanation of what pushing in the white dome does.

Buyer Beware

If you need a neat looking paperweight, look no further. It doesn’t work as advertised. It’s a gimmick at best.

Not as useful as the android app

I like the device and find it useful but unfortunately it seems the developers have neglected the iOS app. The app compared to android equivalent it way behind with features and settings being omitted

Has potential

Setting need to save when you close the app or phone times out, basic be able to pick default modes stills vs video. Need to be able to measure ratio and get percentages with one meter. Great device, app needs help.

The app is not ready to be considered Pro.

I bought one unit from B&H. The app keeps crashing, there is no way to get readings from a the strobes and it just read ambient light. Firmware is up to date but is very buggy. Something needs to be done to improve this app.
