## Most critical reviews (5 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — questonable

*2023-12-19*

once it gets up to about 1000 it can't detect brighter lighting

### 2/5 — Not sure what this is supposed to be measuring ...

*2021-03-11*

Brightness looking at the sunny day outside my office: about 1050 lumens.

Brightness at my desk,  away from the window, ambient light only: also about 1050 lumens.

I'm no scientist (actually, I am), but should something lit with direct sunlight be brighter than the thing lit indirectly from that?

My guess is the meter only measures ambient light, but uses the BACK camera, and shows an image, making you think the are measuring the light from far away.  No, its the local light, just how much actually reaches you.

The app would actually slightly useful, if they used the FRONT camera.  Then, i could place it in a location (like my desk), and see how much light there is.

In the current configuration, the sensor is on the back of the phone, and you read it from the front.  Kinda silly.

### 4/5 — Can’t see the numbers

*2021-07-10*

I don’t like to give low stars as these apps are done by entrepreneurs.  But, you guys should improve the visibility of the numbers.  I can hardly read the lumen rating.  If you want example, see the app ‘Light Meter 3000’

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2025-07-12*

Justo lo que estaba buscando sin difusor

### 5/5 — Does one job and does it well

*2021-02-15*

Simple and straightforward app. Does exactly the one thing I need ... measuring light.
