Don’t bother.

App doesn’t work. Keeps asking to allow camera access but no way to do that.


Adware

The app seems to work ok, giving exposure time estimates based on light meter reading, ISO, and aperture. Custom apertures are possible, f/222 for example, which is critical for pinhole photographers. Unfortunately this app is ad-supported, which is neither disclosed in the description nor shown in the app screenshots. So thanks for wasting my time...


Great,but...

I love this app! My only problem is if you zero out the f-stop the app crashes when you go to change it again.


Loved it until....

This is a great app. When it works. When trying to change f-stops, the app to crashes. The only work around I've been able to find is uninstalling and reinstalling.


Excellent App

Works great, gives accurate readings across many light spectrums. Ad-based, but they aren't too intrusive


Excellent!

This app works great for 3D printed pinhole cameras, and the only thing I would like to see is a selection for films at ISO 125 & 320. Other than that, keep up the great work!
