Every beginner should use this!

As a beginner, this app really helped me improve my intuition for choosing appropriate shutter speed/aperture combinations.

It also showed me that my in-lens light meter in my Canon FTb is a bit off. Now I can take that into account when I need to make fast decisions and can‘t measure with the app first. Most of the time, the suggested values from the app (when I meter afterwards) match with what I chose to use based on the in-lens meter.

The integration with the logbook is the real highlight, though. Only way to improve it would be to make it easier/more convenient to pick a different shutter speed/aperture than what the app offers after hitting the log button. (Right now it‘s somewhat cumbersome to scroll down once the logbook app opens and adjust it from there.)

All in all it‘s an easy 5/5, though. Probably the best tool I would recommend to any beginner.

Highly recommend!

I rely on this so much. It is my favourite Light Meter app, and is my primary meter for landscape work with my 500cm. ❤️🙏

Klasse!

Diese App ist großartig! Besonders hilfreich ist die Filmdatenbank. Das kenne ich nur aus dieser App.

教程不够详细。

I wish the tutorial could be more detailed. The software itself is really great though.
希望教程可以更详细些,软件功能真的很好。୧( "̮ )୨✧ᐦ̤

Absolutely essential!

I have been using Lightme for about a month now and it is the best phone-based light meter I have used. Very flexible and intuitive.

Удобство

Лучшее приложение для выбора экспозиции сцены. Все очень наглядно удобно и понятно

Very good, but missing features

I love this app, but why don’t you give options above f16? My camera goes to f32 and maxes at 400SS, so I’m having to guess iris stops past 16, which I often am past 16 in very bright scenes.

Useless

I need a simple normal photography light meter. Not sure what usage this is for.

一些建议和改进

当前状态下的测光功能已经很完善,希望能够加入老式的快门技术档位比如1/10秒 1/25秒 1/50秒 1/100秒 1/200秒 1/400秒这些档位,实用一些老型号的折叠机和双反时很方便读取数字!

Response from developer

Hi! Thanks for the nice review! You can actually already show those shutterspeeds by setting "400.200.100" as full stops in the profile settings! Hope this helps!

The best lightmeter

I’ve tried several lightmeter apps, and this is my fav so far.

See the description to know all what offers, but this is the only one that I’ve added to my lock screen.

Besides, you don’t have to subscribe, you can pay once and support the project.

Great for reversal printing

Actually goes down to .8 iso and has a built in timer. Really great for doing reversal print pictures on the paper in camera. Well thought out and intuitive to use.

Great App!

This gem has been helping me a lot with a variety of old vameras ans lenses. It has yet to let me down on the metering - it‘s always on point. The combination with Logbook is brilliant. AND customer service is quick to respond and super nice.
Great work guys!

Best Lightmeter app

Best one out there and it’s free!

Not for me, might be OK for some.

Difficult to figure out. I was looking for something more intuitive.

The way apps should be made!

This is in my opinion an essentially perfect app. No data collected. Easy, intuitive and forgiving user interface. Actually helps me understand the concept, as someone new to metering scenes.

On top of that, I have the opportunity to tip the creator. And the app size is exemplary!

Every app creator can learn something from this. Well done!

Best app for film photography students!

This app just saved my semester 😂 It really helped me have a clearer idea of the concepts and seeing them working in “real time” was a game changer. It also helped me understand reciprocity. It is a clean and very intuitive app. You have exactly what you need right there! I highly recommend it to anyone struggling to grasp some concepts in theory because once you see how everything instantly works, it all starts making sense :) Thank you for making this possible, and for free! I’ll keep donating because this is such a great tool! Keep the good work 🙌🏼

反映bug

苹果12pro 在用点测光的时候会闪退,希望更新一下。非常感谢您的回复,但是情况并没有好转,还是会闪退。

Thank you very much for your reply, but the situation has not improved, and it will still flash back.

Response from developer

Hi! Thanks for reporting this! Could you try with the new version (3.0.10+) or rebooting the device? Have some good light! Giuseppe Edit: I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on a 12 Pro, could you try reinstalling the app? If you can, please, provide more info on app settings etc. here or via email. Thanks a lot!

Free No Ads Accurate

Free. Accurate to my Leica MP meter and no ads.
I tipped and I might just send a $1 or $2 every shoot.
It being free makes me feel guilty.

Stunning

Wow, this app was made with love. Everything is there, for free. It’s easy to use and very well designed. Crazy how a little things like that gives me faith in humanity!

Perfect

Simply the best lightmeter in the AppStore. Period.
I tried all that are available in the store, nothing of those not even close to this. Perfect, thank you!
