Hey Creators, Thanks for using Pocket Lux Meter! Here's what's new: • Crash fix: Fixed an exception where tint combinations yield out-of-range values, causing a crash in the app. As always, any feedback, suggestions or advice can be sent directly to 29satnam@gmail.com.

User reviews

The app does not perform its functions.

First: it’s unclear where the data comes from — whether it’s calculated from the entire image or taken from a specific point.

After testing, I realized it uses data from the whole image. But here’s the issue: the app reads the data only after the camera processes the image and adjusts the exposure. As a result, it always shows roughly the same values.

The app should read the data before any image processing in order to provide at least somewhat accurate information.

When you quickly bring a flashlight close to the camera, the app shows 1500–2000 lux. Then the camera adapts to the brightness, and the readings drop back to around 900–1000.

As a brightness meter, it does not work. Do not buy it.

Doesn’t work

Doesn’t work on 12 pro max. No screen or camera protectors on either.

Good app But I have to...

Hi Dev,

I have to comment here as I like this app i just purchased. UI is smooth.

And Yet, I saw a comment here saying front camera is needed and you said that’s absurd. Hence why I am writing comment here:
I also think front camera is super crucial, here's why.

My work environment has different lighting settings, some are directly on my head, so front camera can come to rescue. I hope you might see the needs of users, sometimes its hard to comprehend user's perspective (Ik cuz I’m a dev myself too)
Hope my review gives you insight.

Anyway, it's a good app. I so hope you can combine your bundle into one app. Say its "Lux Meter Pro"😂

Thanks from HK user

Não funciona corretamente no iphone15pro

Os resultados são totalmente diferentes dos resultados capturados no Digital Lux Meter calibrado.

完全不准👎

家里的可变亮度智能灯,不论哪个亮度下,使用镜头对准灯光后,app读出的数值都在900-1100之间来回大幅度跳动。完全没有参考价值。
