Light Meter - measure luminosity in lux, fc, lumen App Reviews

Lights on or off the readings are almost identical!

If you really need a light meter dont waste your money on this. Iphones use spot metering, a real lux meter uses inversed diffused light. Not possible to be accurate, or even close. Side by side with a real meter its clear that this is a total ripoff. Might be useful to make yourself look cool, as a gag.

I held the app to a light and got a reading. Then I did it again. Guess what? Completely different reading. I tried this on several lights and got the same result. It might be okay if the reading was wrong but consistant. At least then I could compare some of the new light bulbs that are on the market. This app is junk; a game. Dont waste your money.

So is it a spot meter or an incident meter? And how do you get a stop ratio with the lux system?

Seems to be consistent when I take several readings they only vary slightly from each other. I like it!

Compared to a Extech lux meter, readings from this app were at least 30% off. It might be good for comparative readings, but that about all.

Your app keeps shutting down with a second Its a rip off scam

Not accurate either. Measured lux of a solid black object held up in contact with the lens and got a reading of 47 LUX. Good for relative readings and for taking your money. Toy.

I was given a really neat manual camera lens for Xmas and thought this app would be helpful. Turns out I have no idea how to convert lux into useful photography information. The internet definitions are like taking a math course. Im an artist not a mathematician.

I tried this app in my bathroom with the door shut and lights off, pitch black. Sure enough, it reported 100 lux, the same as it was showing for my living room during the day. Walk away from this app.

Measure the same light from the same spot and distance and the readings will jump all over the place. Like another user said, it would be somewhat useful if the readings were consistent even if inaccurate for comparisons, but its about as effective as a random number generator.

This app is not accurate or consistent. Im not sure what we are paying for. Very disappointed. Please dont waste your money.

My X-Rite Colormunki was reporting a low measure of lumens in what I thought was a fairly bright area. I purchased this app to see if the reading matched my Colormunki ambient light measure and it was within 30 lumens. I’d say this is fairly accurate.

Its a light meter. Its not an app for ego support. Push a button, get the reading, and get on with your life.

I like a lot this app, no so expensive and works nice. The real time measurement does not works so good as the individual shots but is ok anyaway.

Supposed to measure footcandles, but it is not apparent how to enable that feature.

Does not read correctly, when setting next to a lux reader, the right lux will say 21,000 lux, and this app will say 200. Not sure if its right.

I put it side by side with a calibrated light meter and its off by 20%

Currently this app will not do anything on iPhone 6/6s. Do not waste your money until it is fixed.

I needed this to measure low light but unfortunately its not sensitive enough to tell the difference from one low light situation to another. I would like a refund if I can get it!
