Plant Light Meter 4+

I had been considering purchasing a light meter. Then found this. This simple app is very helpful for the indoor plant lover - even if it confirms what you already knew! Good educative tool to see how light levels change in the same position throughout the day and throughout the year as well. The accompanying table of plants suitable for different light levels is useful too.

Beautiful app, but it uses the rear camera to measure light levels, not the front facing (selfie) camera! The rear camera might be useful if the light were coming from the ground, but usually it comes from above. The front camera would make using the app much more intuitive, because you could just hold the phone near the plant and see what it says on the screen — the phone would get the same light as a leaf. At present though, using the rear camera, you have to point the back of phone up towards the light and then try to read the screen, which now faces down, from underneath. A simple change would make this app a perfect five stars.

This is a great easy to use app. However when u’re in the light detection mode, it only lists plants by common name and u have to scroll through everything. I have to go into the Guide to look for the scientific name and then return to the meter and re-scroll through the 70 odd names. The database doesn’t keep up with all the latest varieties and it can be difficult to check. Eg peperomia is a very diverse genus and more variegated varieties require more light than green ones. But nonetheless the app saves me downloading another light meter and googling to determine the appropriate light range.
