Exactly what I need, nothing more
04/18/2024

This app is simple for me to understand and I love that I can see both the average metering and the spot metering at the same time. Other apps I tried had so many buttons or sections that I could fumble around and miss a shot. This app never lets me down. I’ve entered my camera + the film stocks I have and it’s so easy to choose the film and get going. 💪

Absurdly high subscription cost

These light meter apps are basically accessing the abilities of your built-in camera and feeding the info to you. Apple would probably add this for free if there was enough demand, but most people using an iPhone have no need for an old film camera. In earlier days a clever programmer who was also a traditional photographer would build this app on their hobby time and give it away. Today, we’re conditioned to eternally subscribe to everything, owning nothing and being forever in debt. Yeah, that’s a screed that’s probably overblown for this innocuous app, and yet the pricing on this app is such an excellent example of how genuinely insane we’ve become. Happy shooting.

I am a professional photographer and Director of photography working on both coasts, so as you can imagine, I am constantly in need of a check for exposure in between shots and set ups, and although I do have my trusty spectra, pro light meter, being able to check and double check, my readings with this app makes my life much much easier!If you’re wondering whether this is worth the subscription price, then I ask you aren’t you are perfectly exposed shots virtually priceless???[and on a sidenote, the customer service they provide, for their subscribers is impeccable!]A ++++.
