Designed by a photographer for photographers, focused on RELIABILITY and PRECISION for digital and analog photography.
• Extended sensibility as low as -2/-4EV (dark scenes)
• Two different convenient interface designs.
• Incident and reflected light metering modes.
• Independent calibration for the two metering modes.
• Independent selection of aperture, speed, ISO and exposure compensation with 1/3 resolution. From 4 minutes to 1/8000 sec., aperture from 1.0 to 512 and iso from 3 to 6400.
• Automatic priority for aperture or speed. (Automatic Av and Tv modes).
• Automatic ISO or locked ISO options.
• Spot metering and zoomed camera view.
• Maximum aperture limited by the selected lens.
• Calculate the average of any number of measurements you want.
• Read the exposure data of any photo from the gallery.
• Calculate hyperfocal distance for 5 memorized lenses. Which also blocks maximum aperture.
• Memory for 5 lenses with maximum aperture, focal length and film/sensor size for calculating hyperfocal distance and aperture.
• Hyperfocal distance also for infrared light. (IR button)
• Exposure value EV on an analog scale or right up front.
• Two LED indicators show whether the measurement is unreliable due to lack of light in the scene, or if we have under 30% battery left.
• On 3.5 " displays preset lens buttons tilting the device or tapping at the bottom.
• Screen help available touching Lightmeter PRO
• Be advised that accurate incident light reading needs a diffuser attached to the front camera. Without the diffuser still can be used but think about it, it will be a reflected reading taken with the front camera.

Reviews
I use it almost every day
Brian, TX
I highly rate this app which I use in concert with the Luxi incident light meter dome attachment on an old iPhone. I use it almost every day in my home tabletop studio and it is very accurate and intuitive to use, especially in the Classic mode which is very reminiscent of the Weston Master meter I used 40+ years ago.
It’s legit

I use this meter with my Yashica TLR and a few old Kodaks and a Zeiss Ikon netar. It is spot on. It has helped me take wonderful photographs. I have used it next to my Sekonic light meter and this app is its twin. It’s like a spot meter and an incident like meter at the same time. Highly recommend!
A Lightmeter You Always Have On You

With my digital and film slrs with there auto everything, it’s nice to have an accurate meter with me when I take a fully manual camera out. It’s as accurate as my Gossen Luna Pro F and my old Sekonics. Thanks for keeping the app updated. Very handy to have with me all the time.
Nicely Done

I am a collector of vintage photography. I have hundreds of cameras, in just about every format. I really appreciate all of them and their differences. Using this app has been a joy to use for all my toys. I, like others was a little unsure about getting the app but I heard so many great things and reviews, I figured I’d try it. Using this app and my own way of doing certain things over the years I get very nice results. It is truly a great app to have with you all the time.
Very helpful app!

I have several Gossen meters, but this app on my phone has been a treat to use! I can operate my Olympus Pen-f via phone, and read the scene via phone conveniently! Delighted!
Outstanding!

I shoot a lot of film on vintage cameras, and I find that this meter is unbelievably accurate. I have a Luna six classic light meter which works as well, but having a program on my phone which is always in my pocket, makes this a true winner!
Shutter Speeds not displayed ideally
raythemanmond
The shutter speeds over 1 second need an “s” after the number. Because on every shutter dial on every camera, “4” means 1/4, and “4s” means 4 seconds. We are used to seeing it that way. It’s easy to get confused in the app when it says “4” and think it means 1/4.
Impressed

I was a bit skeptical at first but I just picked up a camera with no meter and needed something quick for a trip and for only $3 it was worth a try compared to buying an expensive meter. I received scans back from the lab and all of the exposures were metered exactly how I intended when using the app(used in pro mode with selective metering). I like to travel with the least I can and always have my phone on me so I’ll keep using this app in the future.
Worth it

Helps me to shot hundreds of photos with accurate light data. If you’re a film lover, this is the app you want.
Brilliant app, Responsive support.

Recently I had noticed a to EV reading discrepancy between the classic and pro modes. David responded to my email within literally minutes and gave me some things to look at. Ultimately fixing the issue was simply deleting the app, rebooting my phone, and then reinstalling. In hindsight I should’ve known to try this first, but it was good to have a brief conversation with the developer. Excellent app, super support!
