### 4/5 — 👍

*2026-08-27*

👌

### 3/5 — OK

*2026-08-23, version 2.3*

This is no Sekonic or Other dedicated meter. It's a lot better than eyeballing the light

### 5/5 — Top !

*2026-08-06*

Appli super pratique pour la photo argentique. Remplace aisément un posemètre à main ou une cellule d’appareil défectueuse.

### 5/5 — Really good phone app

*2026-08-03, version 2.0*

This app has helped me so much with my K1000 on getting the exposure right.

### 5/5 — Simply the Best

*2026-07-24*

From day one it was a superb app & it’s just kept improving.  Love the traditional looking interface . Classic, classy and simple. What more could anyone ask for.. It’s been essential for my none metered  cameras and great for checking current technology is on the money. Thank you 🙏

### 5/5 — Easy to read

*2026-07-13, version 1.9.115*

Love see the EV values instantly …

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2026-07-12*

Been using this app for years. Accurate and super easy to use.

### 5/5 — Excellente application

*2026-07-11*

En tant que Photographe il est toujours important d'avoir une cellule précise à tout moment pour vérifier à une heure précise de la journée l'intensité de la lumière  afin de pouvoir revenir un autre jour pour son shooting.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-07-11*

Parfait pour les anciens et qui souhaitent revenir à la base

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-07-09*

Très bonne application qui remplace correctement une cellule à main

### 5/5 — Wonderful app

*2026-07-04, version 1.9.114*

The accuracy of the meter is spot on

### 5/5 — Great and Reliable

*2026-07-01, version 1.9.114*

Good app! Worked for a very long time

### 5/5 — F/8

*2026-06-23, version 1.9.114*

Excellent App

### 5/5 — Fast Functional and Easy

*2026-06-20, version 1.9.114*

This light meter is very easy to use and I've been using it for about a year now it seems to be relatively accurate

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2026-06-19, version 1.9.114*

Works great, use it regularly, no complaints!

### 5/5 — Can’t complain

*2026-06-19, version 1.9.114*

The best one I’ve used so far!

### 5/5 — Kudos aus der analogen Ecke!

*2026-06-19*

Die App ist prima und funktioniert hervorragend! Ein Belichtungsmesser, der immer dabei ist. Zum Beispiel, du trägst deine kleine Barnack-Leica mit dir herum und willst schnell ein Foto machen, aber es muss gut werden und du willst dich auf Sunny Sixteen nicht verlassen, dann nimm die App!!! Funktioniert großartig und liefert tolle Belichtungsergebnisse!!!

### 5/5 — MyLightMeter PRO

### 5/5 — Reliable Definitely

Thank you for creating this. Well worth it.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2026-07-31, version 2.0*

Not user friendly

### 1/5 — Changing icon…

*2026-03-28*

Please change the icon back to its original one… the latest update makes the icon so disgusting 🤮😭😭

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! I understand it’s a big change and not everyone will like it, but I believe it’s the right direction for the app.

### 1/5 — Sorry, but no cigar

*2025-05-29, version 1.9.98*

Take a look at the classic view and notice the f stop only goes to f.22.  Next, it asks if you want to preset your lens info giving you a max f stop of 16, and that will not change even if you you list your film size/sensor type at 4x5.  I shots 4x5 film, and this light meter is worthless to me.  My f stops go up to 45 and 64, so the classic isn’t so classic.  Waist of money.

### 1/5 — Not for film people

*2025-04-13, version 1.9.97*

Doesn’t work for video at all

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY

*2024-10-25*

Does not work on either iPhone 13 mini or iPhone 16 PRO, both on IOS 18.0.1. Presented with a black screen with no menu or controls. Tried changing display and camera settings to see if this would help. NOTHING. App is useless. Requested a refund from Apple.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2024-09-29, version 1.9.83*

Won’t tell me the exact exposure

### 1/5 — Your support email does not work anymore

*2021-12-27*

Why can’t I select independent values for shutter speed and f stop and see a preview? 

The app seems to work like a camera on automatic settings where you can’t change one setting without it automatically adjusting the other.

### 1/5 — Child’s Play

*2021-10-20, version 1.8.25*

Imagine walking into a trauma center and being greeted by a doctor carrying a PlaySkol medical kit.  That’s pretty much the value you’ll get from this app. Suckered into buying by an influencer on a YouTube video   Lesson learned

### 1/5 — in der Praxis unbrauchbar

*2021-07-10*

Die App liefert bei einem iphone xR deutlich zu hohe Verschlusszeiten (teilweise doppelt zu hoch) und tendiert damit zu einer sehr starken Unterbelichtung. Keine Alternative zur konventionellen Belichtungsmessung.

### 1/5 — 测光不精准

*2021-04-13*

这钱花的…

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Großartig

*2026-08-31*

Für mich die beste Belichtungsmesser-App. Absolute Empfehlung von mir.

### 5/5 — lange gesucht

*2026-08-30*

perfekt für mich, Telefon immer dabei, man kann die Belichtungs-App an verschiede Fotoapparate „personalisieren“, die Belichtungseinstellung für jedes Motiv mit archivieren und
erstaunlich genau mit meinen IPhone 6s

### 5/5 — My goto app

*2026-08-20, version 2.2.1*

Best one I've found. Keep it up.

### 5/5 — Toller Helfer

*2026-08-20*

Gefällt mir sehr gut

### 5/5 — Great light meter

*2026-08-19, version 2.2.1*

Very accurate

### 5/5 — A second life for an old camera.

*2026-08-17*

A great app that allowed me to resurrect a great old Spotmatic. The ability to set profiles to match your lenses is great.

### 5/5 — No fuss, just essentials

*2026-08-11*

It has a great interface, compact and easy to use. The only light meter app I use. It’s also pretty accurate, as much as a phone can be. Worth every penny.

### 5/5 — Works very well

*2026-08-10, version 2.2*

Accurate,easy to use.

### 5/5 — Pretty good

*2026-08-08, version 2.2*

I love it working very well all time

### 5/5 — Klasse!

*2026-08-07*

Die App gehört zu den besten und kann locker mit kostenpflichtigen mithalten. Ganz locker sogar!
