### 5/5 — Great basic light meter

*2023-07-25*

Great, easy-to-use, basic light meter. Learn the basics of light to make you a better photographer. Highly recommended!

### 1/5 — Pointless - only 1 star because I have to enter a rating

*2021-07-05*

Tried to change iso, aperture and shutter speed - can’t be done!  Complete waste of money

### 1/5 — Useless. Do not buy

*2019-02-28*

I mistakenly bought this app thinking it might be useful. Mistake!! As far as I can tell there are no means to adjust settings to what you might have on the camera. It might read light, but it gives out useless information such as set focal lengths you can’t change, stupid shutter speeds which you also can not adjust and varying ISO levels which can not be set. Like, who changes their ISO as their primary camera adjustment??? 
So, my mistake is your forewarning.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2018-08-02*

Shows what the phone camera is doing. Doesn’t let you pick film speed or shutter speed so useless as a light meter! 0 stars👎
