The perfect meter app

Truly the first light meter app I trust. I used it along side my Sekonic and my gaffer’s Sekonic for comparison and it was never more than a half stop off which is also the same in discrepancy my gaffer and I got when we compared our meters.

It also feels like an actual photographer designed it. Many of the features are things I wish other apps I tried used.

My final thoughts: I’m never going give up using my light meter, but this offers tools my light meter doesn’t have and offers me the opportunity to always have a light meter with me that I feel confident in. With additional features.

Best light meter for your iPhone

Light meter apps have always been a nice-to-have — helpful in a pinch, but not useful enough to replace a dedicated meter.

PocketMeter Pro is a must-have. The calibration and false-color features make it stand out from the rest, and dual photo/cine modes are great for those of us who need both.

What Meter Apps Should Have Been

I have used a few meter apps in the past. While some have worked pretty well, they were more about shiny appearances than functionality. The developer did the proper research to make an app that professionals and students can both use with ease. Photo and Cine options are huge.
