Verdict
Lux Light Meter for Mobile and Luminosys both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of Luminosys's written reviews are positive against 17% of Lux Light Meter for Mobile's. Luminosys also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 7). Lux Light Meter for Mobile's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (236 vs 10).
