## Most critical reviews (9 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Don’t bother.

*2018-11-12*

App doesn’t work. Keeps asking to allow camera access but no way to do that.

### 1/5 — Fail

*2013-01-01, version 1.0*

Thought it would be good as a guide. The app just crashed every time I tried to change the f/ stop. Don't waste your time.

### 2/5 — Adware

*2019-05-03*

The app seems to work ok, giving exposure time estimates based on light meter reading, ISO, and aperture.  Custom apertures are possible, f/222 for example, which is critical for pinhole photographers.
Unfortunately this app is ad-supported, which is neither disclosed in the description nor shown in the app screenshots.  So thanks for wasting my time...

### 3/5 — Loved it until....

*2013-02-12*

This is a great app. When it works. When trying to change f-stops, the app to crashes. The only work around I've been able to find is uninstalling and reinstalling.

### 5/5 — Does what it says on the tin

*2023-08-19, version 1.3.5*

I got this to use with my new pinsta camera. I had made several attempts before using this app which where all failures. I used this app for my next shot and was very happy with the results. Simple to use great little app.

### 5/5 — Does what it says

*2021-09-01, version 1.3.5*

I use this to meter pinhole cameras, put in your f stop (you must know the size of your pinhole first) and your paper or film iso rating, it works great and is accurate.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2015-07-18*

This app works great for 3D printed pinhole cameras, and the only thing I would like to see is a selection for films at ISO 125 & 320. Other than that, keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2013-09-22*

Works great, gives accurate readings across many light spectrums. Ad-based, but they aren't too intrusive

### 5/5 — Great,but...

*2012-10-07, version 1.0*

I love this app! 
My only problem is if you zero out the f-stop the app crashes when you go to change it again.
