What's New in Lightmeter
1.0.1
September 21, 2026
Lightmeter is new here, and this is its first update. Thank you for being one of the early ones. The darkroom holds on to your work better now — a crop survives a restyle, a film chosen by hand stays chosen while an iCloud original loads, and a save keeps exactly what was on screen the moment Done was tapped. Settings are simpler, and the Plus sheet reads cleaner: monthly, yearly, lifetime, with the price stated once. More film looks and a few new features are on the way. Thank you for shooting with Lightmeter — it means a lot this early on.
