### 1/5 — 환불바랍니다(사용안됨)

### 1/5 — Too inconsistent to be worth much.

*2016-12-08*

We cannot generate consistent readings with this App. One of our consulting engineers placed a professional meter next to the App and got widely different readings. We didn't expect the App to be super accurate but hoped that it would give our designers "ball park" readings. The reality is it appears to be no where near close. The same App on different iPhones generates different readings in the same location. Does this camera generate readings from the front or back camera? Do you place it on the lit surface or focus the camera on the surface? The documentation is lacking so it hard to know.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2016-10-24, version 1.3*

Only works with rear cam. Can't place it on surface and fix or see the data because the cam is touching the surface. !! Useless.

### 1/5 — CRAP

*2016-09-21*

Send me my money back!

### 2/5 — Cannot pick up clear temp differences

*2016-08-17*

I was looking for an app that could help me match lighting sources. When replacing burned out sources, it's important to match the color temp of the replacement with other existing sources. So I downloaded this app in hopes that it would be a handy tool. Not so much.
I tested the app with two banks of fluorescent tubes, each was clearly either daylight or a much warmer color. If I could upload a photo, you would easily see the difference. Yet this app rated them at essentially the same degrees Kelvin, 5150 (actual: 7 degrees different). 
Maybe the eye and camera is very sensitive to color shifts and consequently it's too much to ask of an inexpensive app to resolve the difference. But using this app to chose replacement bulbs in a home or office would give unreliable results in matching sources.

### 4/5 — Exactly what I wanted

*2016-05-28*

It seems to be accurate in determining white balance settings manually for a DSLR. I like this app a lot.

### 1/5 — Not really?

*2016-03-08*

Its number is different from a Tonda 1010B LUX meter at my hand by about half of the physical LUX meter. I think I just wasted this money.

### 1/5 — Che cavolata

*2016-02-28, version 1.3*

Messo vicino ad un misuratore non si avvicina neppure per sogno! Soldi buttati via. Chissà quando si potrà farsi rendere i soldi come Google

### 1/5 — Paid and regretted.

*2016-02-23*

Simply not working. Support almost none, not even a proper instruction, just said apps is too simple and not require any instruction. Paid and regretted

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money

*2016-02-22*

It app is not at all intuitive and responds like a sloth.
