User Reviews for Lux Light Meter Pro

Help page won’t load on app or website, unclear instructions

A friend recommended me to this app but they use the Macbook version. I was so excited to get something that actually reduced blue light, but I’m not sure if it even does that, and I have no way to confirm that or ability to contact the support team because they’re apparently both down. Considering I paid for the Pro subscription, this is very frustrating so I’m going to have to cancel it. If anyone is able to respond to this and offer suggestions, please reach out!

Wildly Inaccurate

Open your camera and point it at something. assign a numeric value to the light level pointed directly at the sensor. you just created a lux meter that you can sell in the App Store..... this is a completely inaccurate way to measure light levels in a room. The main problem is that the sensor only detects light pointing directly at its field of view. Lux is a measure of light over a surface of one square meter. A real Light Meter measures light indirectly, that’s why they have that white globe around the sensor. The bottom line is that I tested this app beside a real light meter, and the results were wildly inaccurate. If you’re just looking for a toy to play with, then go ahead and pay the developer $3.

Confusing opporation

Should be really straightforward but it’s actually not which makes it inaccurate. Sometimes it works from the front camera and sometimes from the rear camera. I’m trying the free version so it’s I can’t switch the selection (always says front), but I have done a bunch of experiments covering one or the other and it’s always different. I’m not a photographer (using for simple measurements for mediating circadian rhythm) so I don’t need fancy features just want to measure and have it be somewhat accurate.

Pretty but Inexplicably Unsupported

I’ve emailed simple questions (pro member) twice over the last couple years without response. The support section in the app is completely blank. 1) Why would there be a separate setting to measure light indoor versus outdoor? Wouldn’t it stand to reason that you’d want the same sensitivity setting to make an accurate reading2) Why isn’t there at least a brief explanation of what the settings are and how to properly use the app?

Doesnt feel accurate

Maybe I’m using it wrong, or maybe I don’t understand lighting, but I really don’t think this is very accurate. I was measuring the intensity of my grow lamps since I’ve got new bulbs and a new set up, and wanted to make sure I could get as close to this old set up as possible and maybe even get some extra lumens in there. The bulbs I was comparing are 840 lum vs 1200 lum, but the readings were all over the place. When looking at the 840 bulbs, I got an average reading of 340, even when it was two and three lamps “stacked” on top of each other (which I’ve heard from other plant people increases the intensity of the lumens on the plants). I was also getting readings of over 12,000 lum on a bulb and hood combo that I know is more dim than that, seeing as my plants are typically stretching under this light (low end recc of lumens for succulents is about 2,000). The readings just feel wildly unpredictable. This is more a gripe with my phone, but also be sure to know that front and back cameras take in light differently. A spot which would read 330 lum on my front camera read as 380 with the back. Even if the numbers are wrong, the “average” and “ratio” I found at least helped me set my lamps up in a better pattern.

Simple, functional, useful

Nice, simple, straightforward app with good user interface. Good set of options make it very functional. The measurements seem reasonable and more importantly - they’re consistent. A source measured yesterday will be measured at the same value today. Also has a very nice explanation of terminology for the uninitiated. My only complaint is the overly frequent ads. Other users comment that the ads remain in the Pro version, so no reason to upgrade until this is changed. A definite 5-star app without the ad problem.

Don’t waste your money. Worst app ever

Got this a few days ago and it seemed to work fairly decent. Using it to compare lighting in different areas. Went ahead and paid for the pro version. Next day it will not work. Does absolutely nothing. Checked it off and on for the past couple of days and it still does nothing or at best gives some ludicrous reading then freezes up. Went to the feedback area in the app where it says u can contact them several times. Getting a message ‘trying to connect thank you for your patience’. Never connects. I guess I’m not THAT patient. Deleting this trashy worthless app from my iPhone X. I’ll never pay for the upgrade again until I use it several days with success.

Future Design Kevin “You Are Correct Sir!!!”

Great light meter and everyone out there looking for a hand out…”I suggest you do as your grand parents did and Get A Job Sir’s(or Madam’s)” This app is awesome and you cheap folks, having to pay for this app is not a problem if you care for plants and the proper amount light they receive, so they can grow up to be fine strapping plant specimens. Then again everyone that’s complaining about paying for this app(which is completely worth it) don’t even tip your servers at restaurants or bartenders after they close. To ingenious developers of this app do not worry about those cheap cable stealing complainers. As a nursery owner with several greenhouses I think this is probably one of the best light measuring devices for both indoor and outdoor besides the $109 cheap ones that won’t take a sneeze let alone outdoor use without a complete meltdown. I have not even thought of buying another “professional light meter” since I got this app. Thank you for helping my family’s garden and greenhouses.

Paid apps should be required to list the price before install

Yes, technically the app is “free”. The app opens to tell you in order to continue you must either purchase a monthly subscription or pay for the app upfront. I don’t have a problem paying for apps, but if you’re going to charge for it then just put the price on it and don’t pull the sketchy stuff were you say it’s “free” and then the app literally does nothing except take your money before you can do anything.

Great app—once you understand it

You can take a quick measurement with one tap, or press and hold the sun icon for continuous capture with averages. The back camera seems to be most accurate. If you wave it around in the area needed, you can measure the average amount of light.
