Just wasted $2.99

Doesn’t work on any phone newer than iPhone 5.

Oh no!

After purchasing app and opening it, a dialogue box, stating that it was not compatible with my iPhone,
popped up. Didn’t get refunded even though app is unusable...

Doesn't work anymore.

It isn't compatible with any iPhone made since the earth was flat.

I want my $ back!

This thing seeks to function like the pocket light meter, but fails miserably. Cine mode is a joke...

Not worth it

Please save your money and look for a free app first. I wish I can get my money back
