Comments on Photone - Grow Light Meter for Android
★★★★★Jeremy Haynes· Dec 2, 2025
Tested against an actual meter. Compared to other apps, this is hands down the most accurate to do PPFD measurements. At most depending on one the settings you have there could be roughly 5% difference. So that said, if you can not get the Diffuser accessory or get your hands on Diffuser Paper (matte on one side and glossy on the other) then you will most likely be reading slightly out. Calibrate the app to your phone and set to your type of light for the Best Reading.

Great app for reading and setting up perfect growing conditions for all types of plants. Definitely use this app on the daily for my growth space & would recommend to all 💯

This app has helped immensely getting the light right for indoor vegetables. Having the ability to adjust hours of exposure to get DLI at various heights helps to switch between various needs (peppers vs lettuce)

The app says it's not calibrated for my S26 and may be inaccurate. The solution: calibrate with a photometer I trust. If I had a photometer I trusted, why would I be using my phone? It also falsely detects a diffuser, even though the app says not to use one. I'm hoping they get the S26 resolved but until then I'm uninstalling. It's impossible to know what I'm actually measuring.

All features now require payment, I've had this app since the start and even got a new phone to use it on. Now they paywall all the LED features like they did on IPhone. At this point may as well use an old phone and sideload and older version. Edit to reply to photon: Pay for something that was already free before? Hell no, I would rather go buy a real PPD meter at that point. I used to recommend many people get this app but not something I will do anymore. it's always a bait n switch.

Booooooooo! Why are you charging so much per yr just to use it to get proper readings, and we have to buy a diffuser. no, thank you.
