Overpriced

Gets a 3/5 since I can buy an actual light meter for the same price on Amazon. Y’all made a cheap bit of code and your pricing should reflect that.

False positive review bombs

Stay away. This app charges 7.99 after using it for a few minutes and locks you out of ALL features

Faulty measurements indoor

Sorry, but the „accurate measurement” seems untrue indoors. With paper diffuser applied I gradually was bringing an LED lamp closer. The lux amount was also changing from 6 to 18 gradually, as expected, but after that it jumped to 242 (??) no matter how minute the lamp movement was. This weird behavior was consistent with moving the lamp away - the meter suddenly jumped back to 18 lux. Nothing in between!
I’ve got a competing app, used front camera and the same paper diffuser. Its behavior was exactly as expected - the lux flow was changing gradually with distance, no weird jumps. Thus, my phone, my camera, the lamp, etc. are OK. The only difference was the app.

Good

Seems really useful(I haven’t used it really yet just playing around with it but will write another review when I done) but can’t change from selfie camera to back camera.

Hi Jay Gyl, Thank you for the five stars! "Does what it says" is honestly the best compliment a measuring instrument can get 😃 Best regards, Dominik and the Lightray team

Ерунда полная

Из за рекламы которая маячит сразу при включении и не уходит,требуя платной подписки,пользоваться не стала.

Здравствуйте, MonicBell! Жаль, что первое впечатление оказалось таким — но один момент важно прояснить: рекламы в LM-3000 нет вообще. Экран, который Вы видели, это «заряд батареи» приложения, то есть варианты оплаты. И подписка — лишь один из них: есть разовая покупка на два дня (≈$0,99) и разовая покупка навсегда (≈$19,99). При установке приложение даёт бесплатную «стартовую батарею» минимум на два активных дня измерений, так что сразу после установки измерять можно бесплатно. Если экран не закрывается и не даёт работать — так быть не должно. Напишите нам на support@lightray.io с моделью iPhone и версией iOS, мы разберёмся. Как устроена «батарея», подробно здесь: lightray.io/lightmeter/#purchases-explained С уважением, Dennis и команда Lightray

Nah this a’int it

Just make a light ad based version for hobbyists and occasional use; the battery stuff is actually just annoying and stupid and not as clever as they would like you to think and needlessly complex. Keep the pro full version as is.

Hi Rohit54, Thank you so much for your review and the very kind words 😍 It makes us really happy to hear that you appreciate the hard work we've put into the app 🙏 The highest possible accuracy is our main goal, and it's great to hear that our efforts are valued 🫶 All the best, Angela and the Lightray team

23 EUR für 1 Funktion

Feine super App, die eine einzige Aufgabe hatte und diese super erfüllt hat. Jetzt auf einmal, obwohl sie im App Store als kostenfrei und ohne in-App-Käufe und ohne Abo Modell gelistet ist. Entweder ein Abo oder ein Einmalpreis von 23 € ist schon echt sehr sportlich und spiegelt leider nicht den Wert der relevanten Funktion wider, die sich auch nie ändern wird.

Hallo Kasatschok, Es freut mich sehr zu hören, dass dir unsere App und ihre Funktionen gefallen! Vielen Dank für dein Feedback 🙏 Es stimmt aber nicht, dass sie im App Store als kostenfrei aufgeführt ist. In unserer App-Beschreibung sind die gratis Testperiode von 2 Tagen und die Kaufoptionen beschrieben. Ausserdem markiert Apple automatisch alle Apps, die in-app Käufe beinhalten. Du findest den Preis von 23 Euro zu teuer für das, was du kriegst. Das Preisempfinden ist natürlich subjektiv, unserer Meinung nach ist das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis unübertreffbar: Du kriegst ein genaues Lichtmessgerät mit vielen praktischen Funktionen und regelmässigen Updates und Erweiterungen, für deine Hosentasche. Oder sogar günstiger, wenn du dich für eine kürzere Verwendung entscheidest. Aber wie gesagt, da gehen die Meinungen auseinander, und das ist okay. Liebe Grüsse und alles Gute, Angela und das Lightray Team

Tired of subscriptions

Works well enough before your virtual light meter “runs out of battery” and you have to pay to recharge it or it won’t work. This shouldn’t be a subscription.

Trial only

They don’t tell you this is only a short trial. Two stars for the obfuscation.

Не понятно

В чем смысл такой платы за приложение, если прибор люксометр можно купить за 1000-1500 руб. вы там куку?

Здравствуйте Milabone, Спасибо за ваш отзыв. Ценообразование – сложный вопрос, и мы понимаем, что не можем угодить всем. Мы считаем, что нашли справедливое решение. Все приложение можно протестировать бесплатно, и если оно вам понравится, вы сможете выбрать подходящий вариант из нескольких предложенных. Вы получите точный светомер со множеством практичных функций и регулярными обновлениями — и все это за небольшую цену! По нашему опыту, недорогие светомеры, о которых вы говорите, очень неточные. Но если вы нашли такой, который соответствует вашим требованиям, я, конечно, рада за вас☺️ С уважением, Анжела и команда Lightray

49 hour battery runs on a timer?

Hello I needed to have a mic meter for a job I was working on. I downloaded your app and thought that 48 hours of battery power would be plenty to use. Now having this mindset I went to open my light meter for the first time and use it this week after I purchased the 48hr 2 days before. To my surprise my battery was empty and I was not able to use the meter I had paid for. This really is not how an actual physical battery works. I feel taken for and a fool for spending any money on this to not be able to use. I apologize if this was clearly stated in the purchase agreement. But ethically this is not good. Thanks but no thanks?

Good, but not free

The app is not free you can download, but you cannot use without paying

super bad app

It ask for you to buy the filter once you start to used it and true you can use paper to avoid it but the reading is really inaccurate. After download a week, it says it is “out of battery” and you need pay to recharge it. Just charge at beginning instead of pretend to be free

Funktion gut, Kosten intranparent

App funktioniert gut, Zahlungsaufforderung aber spontan und intransparent, geht plötzlich nicht mehr ohne Geld. Macht das doch vom vorne herein klar.

Hi Botaniker92, Besten Dank für dein Feedback. Es freut mich, dass du mit den Funktionen der App zufrieden bist. Ich verstehe nicht ganz, wieso du findest, dass die Zahlungsaufforderung spontan kommt. Im App-Store steht in der Beschreibung bereits, dass es eine gratis Testphase gibt und nachher Batterieladungen gekauft werden können. In den Settings wird dein Batteriestatus ebenfalls immer klar kommuniziert und die diversen Auflademöglichkeiten beschrieben. Wo hättest du eine Info erwartet, damit das Ende der Testphase für dich nicht so überraschend gekommen wäre? Liebe Grüsse, Angela und das Lightray Team
