Not free

Seven days and then you pay.

Too high in price

$7.99 a week. What a joke

Subscription Trap, Avoid.

There is only a 7 day trial period then you have to pay. There is no free tier.

Response from developer

We’re sorry the free option wasn’t clear. The app does include a free tier, and you do not need to start a trial or subscription to use it. You can access the free version simply by closing the payment offer screen. The 7-day trial is an optional way to try the paid features before subscribing. We appreciate the feedback and will continue working to make the free option more obvious.

Accurate but annoying

There are far better apps for the price.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, and we’re glad to hear you found the measurements accurate. We understand that pricing is an important part of choosing an app. Our shorter-term plan is designed for users who only need the app for a particular job or project, while longer-term users can choose an annual plan at a significant discount. We appreciate you giving the app a try.

光圈最大值的问题

为什么光圈最大只有F2.8?

Too expensive

I’m more than happy to pay for software to support developers and maintainenance, but £32 per month??? For a light meter app come on . Unbelievably ridiculous. I pay that for my actual iPhone which is an actual object. If it was £10 one off I’d probably go for it. Otherwise seems good

Response from developer

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. We understand that weekly pricing is not the right fit for everyone. The weekly plan is intended for short-term users who only need the app for a specific job, shoot, or project. For longer-term users, we offer an annual plan with a significant discount compared with paying weekly. We’re glad to hear the app otherwise seems good, and we appreciate the feedback on pricing. We’ll continue reviewing how we present our options so users can choose the plan that best fits their needs.

No free option available… just 7 day trial by agreeing subscription

Very poor… they pretend there’s a free option… but only offer a plan with 7 days free for a £7.99 monthly subscription. Con.

Response from developer

We’re sorry the free option was not clear. The app does include a free plan, which can be accessed by closing the payment offer screen without starting a trial or subscription. The subscription shown on that screen is optional. Any free trial, price, renewal period, and billing terms are displayed by Apple during the App Store confirmation flow before purchase. We understand that the subscription may not be the right fit for everyone, and we appreciate the feedback. We’ll continue working to make the free option clearer.

Come on con

Says it’s free - turns out only for a week. Then you pay $8 a week!!!!!!!! Jeez is that expensive!!!!! And you can’t even try it because they sign you up to pay before you can even start. I just deleted it - there better apps that are free. But the worst part is the come on, with the claim it is free.

Response from developer

We’re sorry the pricing felt frustrating. The app is free to download and does include a free plan, which can be accessed by simply closing the payment offer screen. Any optional subscription, free trial, price, and renewal terms are shown by Apple during the App Store subscription confirmation flow before purchase. We understand that weekly pricing is not the right fit for everyone, and you can cancel anytime through your Apple ID subscription settings. We appreciate the feedback and will continue working to make the free option and subscription choices as clear as possible.

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.

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words about the app itself – we really appreciate that. We understand the subscription model isn't for everyone, and it's a fair point of view. For us, subscriptions allow us to fund ongoing development, device updates, operating system updates, and support as a small independent team. We do offer a free tier with core functionality if that's a better fit. We genuinely appreciate the feedback and hope you'll stick around.

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.

Response from developer

Hi Jorshh, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re really sorry to hear that Light Meter Ultra didn’t function as expected during your hike – we understand how frustrating it is when a tool you rely on fails at a critical moment. The app is designed to operate fully offline once installed, so the behaviour you described is not what we intend. Your feedback is extremely valuable, and we’ll be reviewing this scenario carefully to ensure the app remains reliable even in areas with no signal. Please feel free to reach out using the in-app support link or via our App Store page so we can gather a few more details and investigate further. Best wishes, The Ultrafine Helpdesk Team.

忘了带世光出门的最后一道防线

风光勉强可以分区点测一下,人像毫无压力。胜在你永远不会忘记带他……

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.

Hi G8086, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We understand that many users feel fatigued by the growing number of subscriptions in the app ecosystem, and we genuinely appreciate you taking the time to explain your concerns in detail. Light Meter Ultra offers PRO plans to support ongoing development and maintenance, but we also provide a completely free version of the app that includes core functionality with no registration or login required. We never sell, trade, or share personal information – this is strictly governed by our privacy policy and by data-protection laws such as GDPR, which we follow closely. We also don’t require users to create an account to use the app, so your name and email are not collected as part of using Light Meter Ultra. We hope this provides clarity on how we handle both subscriptions and user privacy. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out via the support link in-app or on our App Store product page. Best wishes, The Ultrafine Helpdesk Team.

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.

Everything behind a paywall

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.
