Description
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.

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.

Very slick and genuinely useful light meter for manual film cameras. I have a suggestion for a spin-off app. I would have a big use for an app that lets me take a test image with my phone and have the app work as a calculator for setting a manual film camera to achieve the correct exposure based on the phone Exif data. I currently can do this with some arithmetic and a bunch of thinking. Almost everything to make this app is already in the light meter app. Cheers

Just installed the pro version of this app. I am going to run a roll of film through my Olympus OM-1 to evaluate the accuracy and then post further. I did notice there is no refund option if the app does not work on my Motorola phone.

Used to work great, upgraded to a pixel 7 on Android 14 and it no longer gives any meaningful readings

Google Pixel fold user here. Was working great until recent updates and the image in the reflective mode would rotate 90 degrees if I zoomed in past a certain point, and the image stayed rotated no matter I further zoomed in or zoomed back out until restarting the app. Please fix this issue, thanks! 🙏

Incident metering seems to work ok (comparing to my Sekonic Twin mate L-208). Reflected metering not so great. Off by 4 to 5 stops. Using on a Moto G7 (plain).
