Comments on PPFD Meter - Grow Light Meter for Android

★★★★★ Joe Blow · May 20, 2026
This works just as good as a PPD meter that cost hundreds.
★★★★★ Amanda Wood · May 28, 2026
Very helpful with my indoor vegetable a fruit garden for actual output a very near close actual readings for a phone app
★★★★★ Jason · Apr 23, 2026
What a great app. I thought I would have to go and buy a light meter a day then I thought about an app. And sure enough here we are. And it seems accurate, it's very sensitive. Just moving 1 mm towards or away from the light gives a reading. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.
★★★★★ Sam · Oct 10, 2026
This is a great tool to measure PPFD (the actual usable light for plants). I was blissfully ignorant about and just using a lux meter until I found out about PPFD and thankfully this app was available to save the day.
★☆☆☆☆ Kev Riddell · Sep 25, 2026
I've been using this app to monitor light intensity for the last 12 months. I've had plants showing symptoms of light stress but didn't think the symptoms were related to light, so I've chased my tail for quite a while now. I bought quite a Treegers par meter today and was quite shocked by how inaccurate this mobile app is. I've literally been cooking my plants. I've been running at around 700. When I checked with the Treegers par meter, it was 1400! Don't risk it. Totally unreliable.
★★☆☆☆ Mike Harris · Oct 11, 2026
Cannot go back from any main menu selection like selecting the sensor. Then I cannot get just a reading it wants to create a full map. Unusable.
★☆☆☆☆ Sarah Jurenci · Oct 17, 2026
App is confusing and unusable. I suspect these reviews are AstroTurf.

Description by Home Studio Inc. Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Welcome to the world of advanced plant care with PPFD Meter, the app that turns your smartphone into a sophisticated tool for optimizing plant growth. Perfect for both seasoned gardeners and beginners, PPFD Meter sets itself apart from standard grow light meter apps with its comprehensive features and intuitive design.

Using your phone's built-in ambient light sensor or the acclaimed UNI-T UT383 BT sensor via Bluetooth, PPFD Meter provides precise and reliable light measurements. This accuracy is essential for understanding and optimizing the light your plants receive, ensuring their health and growth.

PPFD Meter is more than a light measurement tool; it's a guide to understanding your plants' needs. It converts LUX readings into PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) and DLI (Daily Light Integral), providing critical insights for your lighting setup. Customize up to five different settings profiles for various environments or growth stages, making your plant care as unique as your garden.

Advanced Light Mapping and Analysis

Step into a new era of light management with PPFD Meter's advanced light mapping capabilities. Our exclusive PAR and DLI Maps feature offers a vivid, detailed representation of light distribution across your grow area, enabling precise adjustments for optimal plant growth.

But that's just the beginning:

In-Depth Light Analysis: Measure light uniformity to ensure even plant growth, and evaluate your setup's PPF (Photosynthetic Photon Flux) to understand the total light output.

Efficiency and Consumption Insights: Assess the efficiency of your lighting system in converting energy into usable light. Track the daily total energy consumption to manage your energy usage and environmental impact effectively.

Comprehensive DLI Tracking: Monitor the Daily Light Integral, a key factor in regulating plant health and growth cycles, ensuring your plants receive the right amount of light each day.

These advanced features make PPFD Meter not just an app, but a vital partner in your indoor gardening journey. It’s a leap forward from typical grow light meter apps, offering a depth of analysis and customization that truly enhances your plant care experience.

Download PPFD Meter today and embark on a journey of precision and expertise in plant care. Your plants will thrive like never before!
