The best reflective light meter option on the App Store.

No layers of UI to work through like many of the other options and the ‘old’ UI mode operates much faster (like a real light meter).

It would be nice if the UI was based more around a real light meter, but functionally it’s great for checking white balance of lights on set and spot metering for film cameras.

front camera only??

Opening the app, it only uses the front facing camera. There is no option to turn it around.

Efficace

Très pratique et efficace

Excellent- But..

Gives excellent readings comparable to handheld light meters. Shame that the last update causes the app to freeze if you navigate away from it. The solution is to simply switch from front to rear camera and vice-versa. Then all back working.

camera doesn’t show

when i open the app my camera isn’t being used

Needs a bug update.

It’s a great, simple to use app and I’ve been using it for years. However, there’s a bug which causes the app to freeze and not respond to light changes (what is worse is that it is not obvious as the app seems to work normal, so it can lead to completely wrong readings). I hope it gets updated soon. It tends to happen when the front facing camera is used (not sure if also present when main camera is used).

Great needs one more thing for 5 Stars

In settings you should be able to set an Aperture min and max setting. Also a Time min and max setting.

Sort of works again on iOS 18

It doesn’t crash anymore, however you have to force quit half the time (or every time to be sure) since it doesn’t actully react to light changes after coming back to the app, locking and unlocking during a shoot.
It’s a pity since I’ve been ising it for many years and it was very reliable.

色温度計

色温度も表示されるので、グレーカードを使えば室内、曇りの日等の撮影の目安になる。

Problem with app

App works well until phone goes to sleep and you open it back up. Then doesn’t work. Means I have to close and reopen the app every time I use it.

Very good.

Very good! My i like.

Then best light meter APP

I have used this app for many yet, tried other APPs, this is so far the best I have tried.

Update works on iOS 18.3.1 on iPhone 14 Pro!

Thank you, thank you thank you!

Quick fix

Great and quick response to issues raised. Very impressed

Oldie but goodie

Ich verwende diese App erfolgreich seit mindestens zehn Jahren und ich bin begeistert, dass selbst jetzt noch Updates kommen.

Font Color

App version 9.6, cannot read time, aperture, and ISO value as it the same color with background.

Don’t buy!!!

This app hasn’t been updated for 5 years and doesn’t work with the current iOS. They should take it down. I paid for something that doesn’t work.

iOS18.3でフリーズ

iphone15proで使用。1/48などのcine speedが使えるので動画用として重宝していましたがiOS18.3にアップデートしたら、起動後5秒くらいでフリーズします。

Used to be good

This was my go-to meter app for a long time. Now it just freezes after a couple of seconds. Really needs an update!
