Pocket Light Meter Positive Reviews

Sure, it’s worth it :)I have to apologize to the developer. I purchased this app and I was at first a bit miffed at what I thought I’d gotten for the price. I actually went so far as to ask Apple for a refund, which I pretty quickly regretted. As I used the app I realized that it was my preferred one as far as phone light meters go, and the log feature is very cool. I’ve been testing it against my camera’s meter and feel confident that it will work well with an old rangefinder I’m using that doesn’t have a meter. One less thing to carry around with me when shooting, because my phone would be in my pocket anyway. It works well, is well designed and thought out, and the log feature is great. So I went back and bought it again! Thanks for making it and sorry for my initial snap judgment!.Cranky325Version: 9.5

The Best…..so farThis is really the best iPhone Exp Meter available. The only thing holding back the 5 star rating is the cheesy font and background in the logged photos. Needs modernization and a few graphic interface improvements. Adding the ability to assign Hold and Log buttons using the iPhone up and down volume buttons would make this a killer app. Please keep developing this app and hopefully add the button feature..CANDELAPRODSVersion: 9.5

Counting photonsNot quite yet. On the good side - measures exposure correctly (like a real light meter) so one can use it for the zone system. Spot metering by taping on the screen helps a lot. Settings are practical. On the other side - just getting rid of the adds (for $1.99) doesn't last if application is reinstalled. Probably one needs to buy the author a beer (for $5.99) to get rid if the adds permanently.. The worst part is once you get rid of the adds, the field where the adds were is like a blind spot - you cannot place the cursor there for spot metering. I think the only serious restriction of this application. Overall, great App - five stars..Always sunny in my mindVersion: 9.3.3

Great App, feels a little outdatedApp is accurate. Ive used this for both a Mamiya 645 and RZ67. Works fantastic every time. My film comes out well exposed. I don’t even carry a light meter because I trust this app so much. My only complaint is that the app’s layout and overall look feels a little outdated. It looks like an app that you’d get back in the early smartphone days. It’s not that big of a deal though because it works great regardless, but an appearance update wouldn’t hurt it..Katie.kat16Version: 9.5

Invaluable!I started using this app a few years ago as a “Hail Mary” during a shooting session on film when I had forgotten a light meter. This performed so well once the film was developed that I sold my light meter. When I started shooting video a year later, I continued using this to keep me grounded while shooting LOG. Accuracy is dead on, even compared to the high end meters on the market. Truly an amazing and clever use of our little pocket supercomputers..PatrickSnitchlerVersion: 9.5

Allows me to shoot cameras with no light meterI’ve used this app to shoot medium and large format cameras that have no light meter of their own, and I get accurate results. Even if your film camera has a light meter, you should use this app just for the convenient logging feature; shoot a digital photo of the film photos take, and write down any pertinent notes that’ll be helpful later (exposure, location, etc)..TtorreVersion: 9.4

A useful toolThis app is useful for cameras that don’t have a light meter. Don’t overlook the log feature. Being able to add a note is also very useful. I’m not aware of the angle of view fir the metered light. It would be useful to be able to change that to match the focal length of the lens used. Otherwise very nice!.Arash4Version: 9.5

Perfect accessory for my photography!As a professional photographer for over 40 years, I’ve owned just about everything one can have (and spent way too much money). The Pocket Light Meter app has been awesome and a tremendous value , especially for scouting and color temp checks when adding gels to match conditions! And it’s always with me!.FoxworthyStudiosVersion: 9.5

Accurate for Shooting video and filmSeems silly to use your iPhone to check your light settings, but for some of my medium format cameras that no longer have working meters, this is fantastic. Set it time ISO film you’re using and can even log as you go. Can’t wait to run around the city sigh some 800!CineStill in my 120 camera!.FilmtheStarsVersion: 9.5

Great stuffI really like this app... I compared it to the readings and results from my Canon 6D and its right on. I use it on those rare occasions when I shoot film. My only complaint is that it won't take a reading off a flash but honestly I have no idea how that's even possible by using the iPhone cam. This is a great app and the price is RIGHT on. Good stuff!.Yitzach MeyerVersion: 9.3.3

White balance feature is the best!Most of us do not need a handheld light meter, because today’s cameras have great built-in meters. However, the auto white balance can leave a lot to desire. Use the white balance feature of this app to get great color rendition under any natural lighting condition. Get the WB, enter it into your camera and you are set..Sgk3333Version: 9.5

Replaced the need for a spot meter entirely for me.This app is incredible. I shot three rolls of velvia through my Fuji GW690III. Despite velvia being very unforgiving with exposure latitude, the shots came out great. This was the meter I used. It's spot on. The interface is incredibly intuitive, and you can set the ISO, shutter speed, and aperture in full, half, or third stops. The devs of this app got a pint from me!.Cre8namenickVersion: 9.3.3

Spot onFinally a spot meter for zone photography. Would suggest adding a zone scale and a meter reading save feature that you can place on the scale. With the ability to place in whatever zone you want -( ie be able to get a shadow reading and a highlight reading and place) looking forward to calibrating! Great work here!!.The soundtrack of our livesVersion: 9.5

Simple and accurateI’ve been using this app for quite a while and my exposures have always seemed accurate. As other reviews mentioned, it would be nice to see an updated interface, but at least there are no annoying ads..FilmIsAliveVersion: 9.5

Works but poor documentationJust not sure about the accuracy of this. It has a “spot” field which can be moved around. However the spot field isn’t documented anywhere that I can find (absolute size or accuracy). It differs somewhat from my spot meter and the discrepancy bother me. Only discovered support for 160 ASA by changing options (doesn’t default to showing 160)..ArtandscienceVersion: 9.5

Quite usefulThere are apps that are an EV meter and others that perform the F-stop / shutter speed calculation. This app combines both quite well. The log is useful to reference with the photos you take using your manual camera. The user interface can be improved a bit which is why I didn't rate it 5 stars. Thank you for this app. Nice work!.Eagan TrekkerVersion: 9.3.3

I would payIf the developer cleans up the app a little bit. Update the design and make the user experience a little nicer. This is the only light meter app that seems to work on the AppStore yet it gets 0 love from its creator. Come on man! Give us something beautiful and we will buy you steak dinner! (Or grilled veggies hopefully you eat clean 😌).JajroodVersion: 9.3.3

Dual purpose light meterI own a Pentax spot meter and have found that this light meter works surprisingly well in a pinch for photography. I also like to try to grow some veggies like tomatoes from seeds. This light meter helps me find the ideal lighting available like ~5500k or ~2700k so I can help my plants to grow or produce fruit..Hawaiian808808Version: 9.3.3

Useful and handyIt’s a good app. It’s too bad I forget to use it MORE OFTEN!! Thank you for being so accurate. My glasses go dark like shades in the sunshine. Often throws me off on exposure. This app helps save the blow out from happening more often than it does. Providing I remember to use it..Victory-LorieVersion: 9.5

Works well generallyWish I knew more clearly if this was a spot meter, center weighted, average, etc meter. I THINK it is a spot meter? Would be cool to know for sure. Would be even more cool to switch between different type of metering.Byronic_HeroVersion: 9.5

Does a great job !It seems likes it’s giving me the same ratings as my camera’s rating which is great. My only problem is that I don’t know if it is metering the whole image or just that square... it gets a bit confusing at times.DuncandimVersion: 9.5

This light meter is awesomeIt seems to be pretty accurate. I love this app. It'll tell you what values to use for for your camera. It displays your light in kelvins so you can set it to the correct white balance. You can hold the image with the values and even save it. So helpful. This guy deserves a pint..TriballsVersion: 9.3.3

Perfect for on the go light meteringI still shoot on my Yashica Electro 35 still camera. I use this to help me meter my photos. I think this is great for what it is. Aperature, film speed and shutter time is all selectable. You can log your readings in case you need to reference them later on..Noise64Version: 9.3.3

Easy and Simple!This app is quite good! I test it during the day and evening and it works quite well. I also tested the Kelvin temperature in the app with my Nikon D750 and it did the job nicely. I will definitely be using this for my film and digital camera for sure!.VintagelomoVersion: 9.5

Only a spotmeterThis is really only a spot meter and isn't really any better than you likely have built in to your phone. If you're looking for an ambient light meter, you're going to have to look elsewhere. Also, I'm not really sure how accurate the white balance sensor is given the fact that the phone isn't exactly the best at white balance..PmperryVersion: 9.3.3

Great appIt’s a great free app; I upgraded to support the developer. The color temperature feature is especially appreciate appreciate it. My only wish would be the ability to lock the aperture as I am using it with my iPhone which is fixed at f2.2..Dent De LeonVersion: 9.5

Most Useful Photo AppThis is by far the most useful app for photography that I own. It is intuitive to use and has never failed to give me a perfectly correct exposure. If for some reason I lost the app, I’d replace it immediately..Greg#@Version: 9.5

Highly accurateThis app does an excellent job for use with my older cameras. Using it I have obtained very good results with Zeus Ikons and Soviet era Russian cameras. It has been a wonderful tool for determining the functionality of built in meters..SameolddaveVersion: 9.5

Very handyVery handy. I do a lot of outdoor travel photography and it’s been nice to have this in my pocket. I’ve used it in a few professional shoots as well. Highly recommended..Capisco MikeVersion: 9.5

Amazing!Such a great tool when shooting large format film. I use it regularly and enjoy it thoroughly. I am very appreciative of the app developer. It was totally worth paying for no ads as well! Keep up the great work!.NjroccoVersion: 9.3.3

Works as intendedGood app—is there a way to have logged images go into their own album? Bit tiresome to look through all photos to archive these. Otherwise works great, very useful tool..Aus638383$Version: 9.5

We conceived, well executedA fine product which provides a wide range of useful information in a clear intuitive interface..Wjpatterson937Version: 9.4

Easy & accurateStarted using this light meter in conjunction with my Yashica 635. So far, it has been spot on. What’s also great is while I’m sitting around using my phone I can get light readings, kinda of nerdy I know..Wolfgang axtVersion: 9.5

Very HandySince we all have smart phones that takes metered pictures, why carry a light meter when you're shooting film.DirektdaveVersion: 9.3.3

My Go ToBeen using this app for years both on and off professional sets. Reliably does exactly what It needs to do.Wolfwhite99Version: 9.5

Consistent ResultsI shoot on an old TLR film camera and I use this as my light meter. I always get consistent results so I’ve used this app solely for years!.MoodyempathVersion: 9.5

Good but...I think it really needs a defuser. I find that it grossly underexposes in bright light, but overexposes by a stop in low light. In regular everyday light it agrees more or less perfectly with my built in meter and handheld meter..YosemitesamiamVersion: 9.3.3

PhotographerExcellent product. Very useful and handy to compare different lighting situations. I can see this app growing excitement product into spot metering and measuring light temperature (kelvin)..AmourinoVersion: 9.5

Love itThis app has become invaluable to me when shooting film. My shots are correctly exposed and look fantastic--there's no need to spend $$ on a meter..KayelessVersion: 9.3.3

Works wellAccurate and inexpensive, and you always have it with you.Nick 45357Version: 9.4

Seems to be working well!I'm using a Canonet in manual mode without the meter and my photos have turned out great. I wish you could lock the selected shutter or aperture though..Chastor09Version: 9.3.3

Works for meIt’s a great light meter ap. Do a lot of live studio work. The LD tells me its OK your meter tells me he’s right. For my purposes it’s all it needs to be..Merril HVersion: 9.5

Great light meter in the palm of my handShot a few rolls using this app as the light meter. They came out great. Exposures were accurate on B&W film. Simplified my travel set up and allows me to carry my Leica IIIf around without a light meter..MJ GreeneVersion: 9.5

Some thing you can use when starting outPerfect tool.RekNJVersion: 9.5

Not accurate.I tested this meter against a real GE analog standalone meter, a Nikon N90s meter (known for its accuracy), a Nikon D5100 meter, and another competing meter app. Everything else agreed, more or less, and this app was always way out in left field. I wouldn't trust it if I were you..RyukinTakedaVersion: 9.3.3

Great and handy meterI have actually checked against my Sekonic 778 light meter and the app is unbelievably close If it could measure flash this app would be amazing Great tool to have on your phone comes in handy.Nickname shooterVersion: 9.5

DecentVery handy and portable.Fantastique10Version: 9.3.3

Cool appCool app, especially with the luxi sphere. However, has anybody noticed that in very low light, the light from the phone screen bleeds onto the luxi sphere… which obviously alters the metering. It’d be better if the interface had a black background — like the touchscreen Sekonic for example (or at least a « low light interface » option). Other than that, great app! Thanks!.RicomichelVersion: 9.3.3

Awesome featuresThe journal like function allowing you to take notes and a picture is super handy putting it above other apps..Thefuzzy8Version: 9.5

Most Useful AppThis is a great application and truly useful when you find yourself needing important exposure measurements ... this is a very accurate measurement device and learning how and where to take the light measurements is very important for getting the perfect exposure ... two thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻 and five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.PlayerGuruJimVersion: 9.5

This App deserves higher rateI have been using this App for around two years, and I never get disappointed with it. I shot with this App for more than 20 rolls of 120 and 135 films. The meter is just accurate under any circumstances if you use it correctly. I rate it 5 stars absolutely..ZhengZ23Version: 9.4

Great AppQuick to load, does the job, great price!.JohnfujiVersion: 5.2

Great meterWorks fairly well. I wish there was a setting to lock multiple settings. I shoot film, so my ISO is fairly constant and my f is set to the field I want. It would be great if there was no auto light exposure for shutter speed so I could see what the image would be like, under or over exposed, before I take a shot and waste a dollar of film. Is this possible with an iPhone? Thanks again for the great app. I'm thankful..BrockmacdVersion: 9.0

Perfect appI would never have though of ever using a phone to get light readings. I get some really funny looks when people/clients seer talking on the phone them take a reading..FabmediaVersion: 4.4

FabulousI love this, V! Works great!.I_fallVersion: 0

I love this light meterAlthough it can not compete with a Sekonic professional light meter (which will cost you quite some money) it still is very close. And you will have this one always with you! Furthermore the best thing to me is that this nice app provides you with the light temperature (Kelvin) which is absolutely amazing. It really helps you to set up the camera properly especially when working in studio conditions or using a tripod. Absolutely awesome..M.KankaVersion: 9.3

Useful and AccurateSince losing my built-in Pentax light meter to old age, this tool has proven to be extremely useful! When I developed my photos they looked great thanks to this app. There have been some improvements to the look of the app lately which deserves a pint to the developer. I'm looking forward to future improvements, new features, perhaps a lock for fstop / speed so they would bounce around so much..Hayato TanakaVersion: 8.4

Pocket Light Meter Negative Reviews

Lux meter NOT included!I've downloaded every free app that claims to be a simple light meter, I just want to compare two lamps in a bedroom. I don't know why they all use the Lux meter as the bait and switch carrot but they do. Once I was able to figure out how to access/enable the Lux meter via a UI that feels like it was designed by a kindergartner, this app too reveals that for the Lux meter, you need to upgrade to the pro version (and in this case it actually uses a physical accessory) One star for being deceiving..J.CASSEZZAVersion: 9.3.3

Latest update was big step backwardsI hate the wheels & the “use the old interface” setting is gone. No version number in settings or the in-app settings. Developer web site has exactly one sentence - no specs, FAQs, help, nothing. 2 stars because it does actually meter OK most of the time. No more than that because the UI is bad & the support is nonexistent. Deleted it & going back to my old Vivitar meter..52 CamerasVersion: 9.5

Image won't appearThe image won't even appear. It simply says "too dark." I adjusted all the exposure settings thinking I had to set one of them near correct to kick in. It's a simple interface so it can't be that difficult. After 15 minutes of trying to get it to work, I deleted it. I'm on an iPhone 6 Plus..Why are you sitting there?Version: 9.3.3

Not accurate enoughMeter reading with the app aren’t as accurate as a camera meter or a spot/ incident meter. I only use this if I am desperate. Even using Sunny 16, adjusted to your environment after a few months of testing, is more accurate..MrNicknockVersion: 9.5
