Have not yet developed photos, so unsure how accurate readings are, but seems to match what other methods produce so far ### 5/5 — It really does exactly what it says *2026-05-09, version 4.0.3* The user experience is very streamlined, which makes it a good fit for the film photographer that just want to take a reading and get quick calculation for diffferent iso/aperture/shutter settings ### 4/5 — Helps *2026-05-07, version 4.0.3* I just got a film camera and know next to nothing about what settings to use so this helps and take some of the guessing out of taking good photos ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-06, version 4.0.3* Would use again ### 5/5 — Simple and clear *2026-05-03, version 4.0.3* Works great and the recent update made it so much more powerful. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Best free app *2026-05-03, version 4.0.3* 10/10 ### 5/5 — Best Simple Light meter App *2026-04-29, version 4.0.3* Of all the apps I have tried I keep coming back to this one because of its simplicity and ease of use. It’s not as sophisticated as some but does the job for me ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-04-25, version 4.0.3* Minimal, sleek and intuitive. No excessive feature. It’s crashed once or twice but if I’m metering a photo I’m in no rush ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-04-23, version 4.0.3* Great tool! Perfect for Film photography and easy to use ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-04-20, version 4.0.3* Love this app, it works really well. ### 5/5 — Super app! *2026-04-16, version 4.0.1* This does everything I need it to after the update. I shall put my previous review in the lower paragraph so the developer’s notes still make sense. The ‘Camera profile’ feature was a stroke of genius. **Old Review** “I have a camera with an f/4.5 lens, yet this meter app hasn’t the option. I am aware adding dozens of new half stops to accommodate obscure lenses would clutter the app, so how about an option to add your own partial stops? Otherwise, it’s a very good app indeed.” ### 5/5 — Incredible new update 📸 *2026-04-10, version 4.0* This new overhaul has completely transformed the app from what was already a great and practical app for metering into a full customisable and incredibly useful tool to aid in your photography. The addition of multiple zoom levels is a particularly standout feature that I personally was hoping would be added, and the ability to create camera profiles to add or reduce the time spent looking for appropriate exposure setting is incredible. I already loved this app but this update is amazing, if I could rate 6 stars I would⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The only thing I would like to see implemented would be a size adjustable metering spot to specifically target certain areas of the frame to expose for ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2026-03-08, version 3.3* Thank you so much for creating this app. So easy to use and my analog photos all turned out great. Great service to human kind. ### 3/5 — It's free but could be better *2026-02-07, version 3.3* The app takes a picture and gives you an arbitrary reading based on iPhone camera readout. It needs to be able to lock Aperture or Shutter Speed and ISO to be useful for film photography. Also the stepping needs to be simplified to 1,1/2 and 1/3 stops. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awful *2025-02-24, version 3.3* I shoot film and all three rolls I shot with overexposed them. That’s a lot of money wasted because of your app not doing its job right, whoever makes this app, please look through whatever you are doing on it, because it does not work whatsoever. ### 1/5 — ??? *2025-02-18, version 3.3* Can’t get it to work. ### 1/5 — Camera function doesn’t work *2024-12-23, version 3.3* You can’t see anything in the camera mode, so you can’t get a reading. Which is the whole point of the app ### 1/5 — Always Crashes *2024-10-17, version 3.3* Good app but always crashes ### 1/5 — Buggy *2023-01-14, version 3.3* Buggy and unusable. iPad Pro ### 1/5 — Can Only Lock One Value *2020-07-03, version 3.0* Could be good but I don’t see away to lock ISO and aperture at the same time. ### 2/5 — Currently not functional on iOS *2026-07-22, version 4.0.5* Used be to great, has become extremely unresponsive since some recent patch ### 2/5 — Mostly useless *2025-08-30, version 3.3* One of the worst app designs I’ve ever seen. An example of amateur UI/UX. ### 2/5 — Apps broken *2025-05-15, version 3.3* Love this app and have used it for over a year. Recently when I go to take a reading the screen is just black. I’ve tried reinstalling the app reenabling camera permissions, etc. So I think it’s an app issue. Hopefully they’ll get it fixed cause it’s a 5/5 app otherwise. ### 2/5 — Don’t understand *2023-12-17, version 3.3* If the far left column is film speed, why is it measured in inches? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ease of use *2026-08-15, version 4.0.5* A great app to use with any vintage camera that doesn’t have a built in light meter. I use it to occasionally check my Sunny 16 rule, when it’s not exactly bright and sunny. ### 5/5 — Easy and great *2026-08-11, version 4.0.5* Love the app. So easy and straight forward. ### 5/5 — Really easy to use *2026-08-01, version 4.0.5* As a beginner this is awesome! And user friendly ### 5/5 — Awesome!! *2026-07-24, version 4.0.5* This app is the best for first timers and advanced photographers, thank you to the creator of this app!!!🔥🔥 ### 5/5 — alright *2026-07-17, version 4.0.5* not bad ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-07-12, version 4.0.5* My go-to meter app ### 5/5 — Accurate and easy to use *2026-07-11, version 4.0.5* I have gotten back into film photography and have been testing many old cameras. Most of the time the original light meters don’t work, and rather than buy a random cold shoe unit I use this app. It’s works great. Very accurate and versatile. I’ve developed photos that are very well exposed in camera. ### 5/5 — All you need *2026-06-27, version 4.0.5* A simple, clear light meter app. Not for complicated situations, but does everything a simple, straightforward photography light meter needs to do. ### 5/5 — Great simple product! *2026-06-27, version 4.0.5* Love that it just works. Has everything you need in it. ### 5/5 — Sweet *2026-06-18, version 4.0.5* It does what you need it to do: helps you figure out the settings to use for you SLR or other kinds of cameras. Definitely helpful when using a film camera and you’re locked in on your ISO If you’re getting into film photography, I definitely recommend using this app! My recommendation for beginners: do some research on what each of the camera settings do, as each has their own technical/artistic element, this app doesn’t help with the style, it’s more like a calculator to help you with the lighting math (if ykyk) :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
