Thank you for your kind review. We are glad that you enjoy the app!

Great features

Absolutely love the features on this app its a light meter, gear organizer, and log book all wrapped up into one. It is very feature rich especially for being free. Though I do see myself buying the premium version as well. This will likely take over as my main light meter app!

Very user friendly, ergonomic, organized, free, fast
