About this app

A reflected light meter with spot metering (using the device's camera) and an incident light meter (using the device's light sensor) in one app. Tested accurate against Gossen and Sekonic meters on most devices.

Can be used for any type of camera from film SLR to pinhole to cinematographic.

In addition to the two meters, the app includes a Color Temperature (White Balance) meter, a Reciprocity Calculator, an Exposure Convert, a Manual (Sunny Sixteen) calculator, a Depth of Field calculator, and an EXIF Reader.

Ratings and reviews

Great free app. Worth the $6 of the paid version even without the extra features. I like that you can do metering a couple different ways, and I've found it pretty close to accurate, enough I don't worry about it if I use the app instead of my proper meters. I can also set it to third stop, half, or whole to match whatever camera I am carrying. Never used it for flash metering, so no idea how the Max mode works, but for both ambient and reflective in one app it's a good tool.

Let it be known, I am not a good photographer. But with this app I have one less excuse for being a bad photographer! I highly advise purchasing the app for the full features offered. The reciprocity failure section and being able to save gear for quick reference is invaluable. The app is very accurate (at least on my phone) and costs less than 1/10 of a light meter.

I really like this app and have been using it for years. (I use the white balance tool almost daily). Is it possible to meter for the aperture? This would be highly useful for the video world where the shutter speed/angle is constant, but the aperture can be adjusted. edit: I can't believe I didn't notice that before, thank you!
