Works well

I was going to buy a light metre for my plants, but it’s so much nicer to have it on my phone. It works well, but I haven’t tested against an actual light metre so I’m assuming that it’s fairly accurate. I would agree with its readings based on where I have my plants located.

Not accurate

I tried to find my carnivorous plants on the list and they weren’t there, with grow lights turned off told me there was sufficient light but when I turned on my 40 watt grow lights it said insufficient light. Waste of money.

Accurate and humble

Very easy to use, not at all over complicated. The price is worth it.

Beware

Bought it and it doesn’t tell exact numbers, way off from normal meters you regularly buy

Wish I hadn’t paid before trying

It’s a cool concept, but it’s got a limited list of plants to check from and half of mine aren’t on it. This was recommended online as a free app, I wish I’d have tried it before paying.
