User Reviews for Lightme - Lightmeter

Amazing, Accurate and Clean

This Lightme is by far my most used app on my iPhone. This light meter is very simple to use and if at any point you get confused about the apps functions there a built in tips function that let you know all there is to know and tricks you may not have known about the app.This light meter is very accurate it’s stand right up with my other analog lightmeters.The clean look on of this apps UI helps give off a very easy to use experience.Love it!

One step to perfect

The app got great and beautiful UI and it is easy to use. But I don’t know if I set anything wrong, the app seems not quite smooth. Every time I change a set, the app just froze for a second and then change its set. My phone is iPhone11. I admit that it is a little bit old, but relatively it is still a high performance device. Hope the developer can do something to change the situation.

Very convinient with linear scale for mettering readout

Light time is unique light metering application in Appstore. it has a linear scale which allows to read easily all possible combinations of Aperture values and shatter speed. There are nice other options for ND filter compensation. There is a possibility to add presets for your specific Camera settings etc.

Shaves weight on my photo walks for sure

I primarily use my RZ67 and as you all know, it’s a tank. I’ve been using LightMe since the beta and since then, I’ve left my Sekonic at home unless I’m in the studio.That by itself should be a testament to how great this app is. 5* without question.

Great simple meter app for film photography

This is a really nice simple light meter for film photography. I’ve tested it on several rolls of film and the exposures were spot on. and it was simple to use. The zone system and spot metering are really nice to have as well and Its nice how you can easily see all the apertures and shutter speeds on the sidebar with a quick glance.

Good app

Clean and great! I like it a lot and have a suggestion: add optional shutter speed compensation. For example, for each camera allow the user to input real, measured shutter speeds. Then the app can meter according to true, not nominal speeds for each camera. Most of my cameras have top speeds slower by 1/3 to 1 EV, just due to wear and age. Just a thought :)

Best light meter I’ve tested — FREE

Does the job and has tons of features. It’s free! The person that built the app seems like a very cool person. The app is so helpful and intuitive too. The developer really care about their users. It’s clear. And their personality even comes through. After installing you feel like you know them, download and use you’ll see what I mean. 10/10 great app. Free and powerful! I even voluntarily watch the ads frequently in the app to support the developer. Great app. Thank you!!

By FAR the best light meter app!

LightMe is the ONLY light meter app that I’ll use. All my cameras are antique, and mainly from the 19th and early 20th centuries— a time before aperture/shutter priority. One of the features that I like most about LightMe is that it displays the entire range of settings and fractions instead of forcing you to choose a priority like other apps do. I could go on for hours about why I love this app. Keep up the good work, and I can’t wait to see what else you’ll get up to!

Best Phone Meter

Best phone meter I’ve used. Interesting UI implementation, which might be a little overwhelming at first, but really doesn’t hide all the useful features available that most other apps don’t offer. Support the developer as I feel like this is a fantastic app and should be acknowledged for that.

Absolutely perfect

An absolute gem of an app. Integration with the log is a cherry on top of a decadent sundae with all the fixings. One thing that would be nice to have to make it even better, is if we could get a black and white preview with the option of adding colored filters. Yellow, orange, red, green even. It would help with learning how colors react with the filter and plan our shots when using them.

Description

Lightme - Lightmeter is a clean, simple to use yet very powerful lightmeter. It is optimised for an easy one-handed use, both for left-handed and right-handed users, with the main controls within your thumb's reach, without the fatiguing juggling of your precious smartphone. A core distinguishing feature of Lightme - Lightmeter is that - differently from most of the other apps - it can show multiple combinations of valid settings for aperture and shutterspeed at the same time by working like a - stretched out - old needle and wheel lightmeter.

This allows the user to quickly pick the desired settings without having to scroll on a tiny wheel picker. The app is designed to be welcoming to people who are just starting out, with a simple one-button use. But it offers many useful and advanced features for the more experienced shooters/users: Continuous metering (by pressing and holding or double tapping the measure button) Spot metering with a variable zoom (for more precision) which also supports average metering, and a very intuitive implementation of the zone system Automatic reciprocity failure compensation (for 25+ films, if you see exposure times in red, they are being compensated) A dedicated pinhole mode with precise exposure times for user defined apertures (multiple apertures at a time), with the possibility of setting a timer (through a shortcut) Incident light metering with calibration when using the front facing camera And more ... It also includes some other features that are enjoyable by any kind of user: Black and white preview The ability to use any of the cameras on your smartphone (swipe left/right on the preview) Multiple presets for your different camera/film/lens setups Framelines for previewing your shot, before setting up your tripod etc. A searchable list of useful tips to make better use of the application's potential A searchable list of more than 70 films to choose from with the possibility of selecting a few favourites Dark mode support and a useful level of customisation You can find even more info in the tips inside the app or you can have a look at full user manual by tapping on manual (in the settings) The app is free in all its many functionalities, but it offers In-App-Purchases in order to support the project. The only minor perk you can enable only via certain IAPs is the replacement of the Ad button with a label containing the name of your current preset, check under settings -> coffee for more info. Don't panic though, even if there's an Ad button it doesn't mean I'm going to show you ads. In fact unless you decide to tap on that button I'm never going to show you any. But if you have a few minutes to spare, watching a few of them sure helps keeping this project alive :) Try it, and, if you like it, share it with your friends and consider writing a (mini) review ;) Have a nice day, and good light!
