### 2/5 — Really good

*2023-05-11*

Amazing product for my biology

### 2/5 — To be honest, it really doesn't work.

*2022-01-23*

This app detects that my desk lamp has tens of thousands of lumens. 🤣

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-05-07*

This app is garbage.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother.

*2021-04-18*

The app starts then jumps to an ad and forces you to the App Store to buy the app it was advertising.  It’ll drive you mad.

### 1/5 — B.S. App

*2021-03-06*

Just tells you to buy their app when you try to use it. Don’t bother downloading.

### 3/5 — Simple. Easy to use. Usually works.

*2020-02-28*

As a photographer and general media developer I find tools like this useful at times where I like more advanced ones. A quick luxe check is extremely useful one made this simple. Worked most of the time.

### 1/5 — Completely useless, refund?

*2019-07-22*

If you’re thinking of this for photography, don’t bother it WILL NOT do what you need it to do.

### 1/5 — It sucks do not get app

*2019-03-09*

This lux meter is NOT working. I got a zero lux reading while there was enough light for me to read. I am very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Absolutely myopic...

*2019-02-20*

A waste of time downloading... didn’t do anything photographically technical. Complete waste of time ...

### 1/5 — Full of ads

*2018-11-15*

Covers the screen in ads while you’re using it. Avoid.

### 1/5 — Yeah nah.

*2024-02-02*

Dont bother. Its wildly inaccurate.

### 1/5 — Just redirects me to the 2.99 version of the app

*2023-09-23*

Useless

### 1/5 — Lux light meter inaccurate

*2022-11-17*

When comparing the light meter lux values again a professional calibrated meter, the values are wildly inaccurate. If you want a accurate lux values you need to buy a proper light meter

### 1/5 — Badness

*2022-06-17*

Bad

### 1/5 — Too many ads and downloads offered

*2021-11-19*

'Nuf said.

### 1/5 — Continuous Ad Spamming

*2021-10-13*

Don’t use this unless you like screen covering Ads

### 1/5 — Bruh don’t buy ever

*2021-09-09*

This app is absolute crap, don’t buy this. There are ads every 10 seconds and it downloaded a virus onto my phone. If I could give it a negative stars I would.

### 1/5 — Ads to get in the way

*2021-07-28*

Results are wildly different than other apps

### 1/5 — not epic

*2021-07-09*

The light reading jumps around more than House of Pain.

### 1/5 — This trash

*2021-07-08*

I could measure with my hand better than this app

### 5/5 — Smash!

*2023-06-27*

### 5/5 — Amazing. Wonderful work

*2022-11-14*

This app works wonderfully, no issues whatsoever. Ads are non-existent and process of application is fluid and easy to navigate. Would happily pay $10+ for this app due to the easy operation of the software.

### 5/5 — Yeah

*2022-05-19*

Comes up with numbers, that’ll do for me.

### 5/5 — Ha

*2021-11-18*

Amazibg

### 5/5 — Help

*2021-04-11*

What is the accuracy of this device?

### 5/5 — Works for me on iPhone X

*2020-12-31*

Idk why everyone else says it doesn’t work, many ads sure but works

### 5/5 — Great for the gardener!

*2020-07-01*

I don’t know whether the numbers are “right”, but for me that doesn’t matter. 

My use case is telling which parts of a garden get more light... for planting purposes, not photographic ones. And for that, it’s perfect. 

The fact that reading A is twice the value of reading B is all I needed to know.

### 4/5 — Works

*2020-06-23*

Does what it’s supposed to
