About this app

I created this app for photographers who shoot film and want a simple, reliable light meter in their pocket.

For the price of a soda, you support hundreds of hours of independent development.

⚠️ Note: The performance of any phone light meter depends on the device hardware. Results may vary.

LightMeter includes two metering modes:

• Reflected light (uses the camera, limited device compatibility)
• Incident light (uses the light sensor, works on most devices)

Features:
• ISO range from 3 to 6400
• Incident light metering
• Reflected light metering (device dependent)
• Low light warning
• Optional EXIF and sensor information
• Calibration settings
• Vibration feedback on measure/hold
• Hold function for incident readings
• Alternative ISO selector
• State and ISO memory
• Spot metering (if supported by camera zoom)

Thanks for your support.

I shot an entire vacation using this app. 8 rolls of film with essentially very basic entry level knowledge of film photography. In terms of exposure, almost all photos turned out looking great. I tried using other apps and they just weren't as intuitive as this one. I like how simple this app is and for someone who has probably bought less than 10 apps ever, this is one that I am happy I paid for.

Excellent! Nice to have meter with an intuitive, analog readout. I love the simple calculator dial of my Weston 737, and this works just as well. Unfortunately the settings tab is placed where I can't get to it: if I try to touch it, phone settings come down instead of app settings. I would LOVE to see continuous reading in reflected mode. Perhaps this is a little ambitious, but that would make this my favorite metering app by a huge margin.

This light meter app is well worth the price. I checked it out with several of my cameras it is spot-on. Very happy that I purchased it. Two changes that would improve this Light Meter. 1. The digital readout just below the zoom lever is nice but the ISO changes from my selected ISO when displayed. 2. Exposure Compensation option would be great. I use this a lot when shooting.
