TERRIBLE. DON'T BUY.

The app is actually fantastic. But on principle we cannot support these subscription models. I'd buy this even for $30 but not if it's a subscription. This is an abhorrent model and shouldn't be rewarded. Change the pricing please.

Будем пробовать

На первый взгляд все прекрасно

Ridiculous hi price for no features

Title says it all…

Failed at critical time

I went on a hike yesterday with the intention of taking photos. App loaded but camera didn’t work, had to guess all my exposures through the day.

If the app needs to use the internet for some reason before starting then that’s terrible design. If by some chance you end up somewhere with no signal like me then you’re SOL.

It was going to be a good review, but…

But then the subscription screen appeared. This is a note to all developers out there: People are tired of subscriptions. Enough is enough. Every subscription is a new registration, a new login to add up to the hundreds of registrations and logins we already have. On top of that, as soon as your company goes bust, or gets sold, all of our private information becomes an asset to trade with. Before you known it, your name and e-mail has been sold for profit and you begin to receive hundreds of e-mails and calls from companies you never heard of before. That’s the reality of Sass. Not withstanding the fact that the subscription model is a scam to make users pay 300% more for software while receiving little or no support at all. Of course, you will argue, “that’s illegal, we don’t do that,” but I call shenanigans because you, the developer, knows that the trade of private information is nearly impossible to prove in court, and it highly depends on local laws to prevent it, which do exist in Europe, but do not exist in America or Asia.

Không hữu dụng

Đã mua và dùng thử.
Tưởng là auto tự đoán thông số đầy đủ cho tốc , khẩu , iso. Ai ngờ chẳng được gì ngoài EV, còn lại tự chỉnh tay. Lại còn hên xui nữa, nên khuyên ae ai muốn tải thì cân nhắc

Response from developer

Chào DatLT99999, Cảm ơn bạn đã phản hồi và đã dùng thử Light Meter Ultra. Chúng tôi rất tiếc khi biết ứng dụng chưa đáp ứng được kỳ vọng của bạn. Light Meter Ultra cung cấp giá trị EV và cho phép người dùng tự điều chỉnh tốc độ, khẩu độ và ISO để có thể chọn thiết lập phơi sáng phù hợp nhất – cách tiếp cận này nhằm mang lại sự linh hoạt và độ chính xác cho nhiều phong cách chụp khác nhau. Tuy nhiên, chúng tôi hiểu rằng một số người dùng muốn ứng dụng đưa ra gợi ý hoàn toàn tự động, và phản hồi của bạn rất hữu ích cho quá trình cải thiện sản phẩm. Chúng tôi sẽ xem xét kỹ lưỡng điều này cho các bản cập nhật sắp tới. Nếu bạn có bất kỳ câu hỏi nào hoặc muốn chia sẻ thêm, xin vui lòng liên hệ qua liên kết hỗ trợ trong ứng dụng hoặc trang sản phẩm của chúng tôi trên App Store. Trân trọng, Đội ngũ Hỗ trợ Ultrafine.

Response from developer

Hi xX_Rhys_Poggington_Xx, Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. While Light Meter Ultra does offer PRO plans to support ongoing development and maintenance, we also provide a completely free version of the app that includes key features at no cost and with no registration required. The PRO options are there for users who want additional tools and enhanced functionality, but the free version remains fully usable for essential light-metering tasks. We hope this helps clarify our approach. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out via the support link in-app or on our App Store product page. Best wishes, The Ultrafine Helpdesk Team.

What/How??

This is a great app, but could use more documentation (i.e. instructions).

Simple and easy to use.

I love the clean interface.

No me funciona

Hoy me ha tocado pagar porque no me dio tiempo de cancelar la prueba. Es un timo

Not good

Not accurate under exposes every reading, maybe if I pay it works better!

Response from developer

Hi rnone rhino I w saw hmr jf, Thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear your experience didn’t meet expectations. Just to clarify: the accuracy of the meter is the same in both the free and PRO versions – upgrading only unlocks additional features, not improved core measurement quality. Light Meter uses the same metering algorithms leveraged by Apple in their built‑in camera system, combined with device sensor data, so the readings should be consistent with the capabilities of your iPhone hardware. That said, results can vary depending on the quality of film, calibration of the camera shutter mechanism, and shooting conditions. For best results, we recommend keeping the lens clean, metering from a consistent position, and adjusting for any known offsets specific to your camera hardware. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us refine the app experience for everyone. Best regards, The Ultrafine Helpdesk Team

Pretty basic

Can’t do what I wanted it to do I.e. provide a strobe reading.

Does the job

Does exactly what I need it to, no issues with the photos I have taken using this app to meter

7days trial application

7days free trial application

Accurate,Fast and easy to use

I just wanted to start off by saying this is probably one of the best Light Meter apps I’ve used, the layout is perfect and I can change my settings with one hand. the meter readings are accurate and I use this app to test every camera that I own. This is my go to spot meter.

Mike

Great app

Looking for Lumen measurements

Haven’t seen any manual of some sort for this and some of the values I heard from a review wasn’t even in here.
Then I only have seven days to evaluate before they charge me for the subscription!?

Response from developer

Hi 65rosessamurai, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on Light Meter Ultra. We appreciate your interest in using the app for light measurement. Light Meter Ultra is specifically designed for photographers, so it focuses on measuring exposure values (EV) rather than Lumens, which are typically used in other fields. If you’re looking for Lumen measurements, another app may better suit your needs. Regarding the trial period, we understand how important it is to explore the app fully before committing. Our seven-day trial is designed to give users time to test its features, but we’re always open to feedback on how we can improve this experience. If you have further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to our support team by tapping the support button within the app or from our App Store product page. We’re here to help! Best wishes, The Ultrafine Helpdesk Team

Tried to cancel and charged me anyway.

Not worth a subscription

Response from developer

Hi kcr62, Thank you so much for your feedback regarding Light Meter Ultra and so sorry to hear you experienced an unexpected charge. Please feel free to reach out using the support link on our App Store product page or by tapping the support link in the app so that we can help you request a refund. In regards to the timing of charges: As Apple handle all transactions on our behalf, they also set the timing of when subscription fees are debited from customer accounts. Fees are debited according to the terms displayed on the system payment confirmation sheet that pops up when you agree to start a free trial and states that trials must be cancelled at least 24hrs before a trial ends to avoid a charge. You can review Apple's payment terms here https://support.apple.com/en-us/118428 . We hope this gives you some useful context around how fees are processed on the App Store. Best wishes, The Ultrafine Helpdesk Team.

Really good while you have Internet.

Been using this app with my old SLR and it's been really good. Have an premium subscription but ran into issues last night when shooting in an underground venue where the signal was bad. I kept getting locked out of the premium features like the larger aperture options. Was really frustrating.

You asked

Not even a minute I’ve been asked for a review, so 3 stars off for that, and one star off for blocking features
