Description
After excessive watering, lack of light is the second most common cause of death of indoor plants.
Better light conditions will keep your plants healthy.
Measure your plants’ ideal light levels for the price of a cup of coffee!
How to use:
- Launch the application
- Point the camera toward the plant’s leaves
- Press the “Measure” button
How to interpret the measurement:
- Very low light: Difficult conditions for plants to survive.
- Low light: For plants that can tolerate low levels of light, such as the aglaonema, parlor palm, and philodendron.
- Medium light: For the majority of indoor plants, such as the Dracaena, Pothos, and spider plant.
- High light: For plants that love light, such as the zebra plant, areca palm, and croton.
Features:
- Detection of natural light & artificial lights
- Compatible with rear camera only
Notes:
This application allows you to measure the light levels of indoor plants. However, if you need very precise measurements, the use of professional equipment is recommended.

Ratings and Reviews
A really helpful app..!
I’ve quite a few indoor plants plus several, including a lemon tree, indoors avoiding the UK winter. The app didn’t have specific info for citrus plants but after writing to the app developers to ask for help they wrote brand new info for lemon trees! It’s proved really helpful, the tree is in full bloom, and I’m now confident that I’m doing the right things to guarantee a good crop of lemons later on in the year...

Hey there!
It’s been a little while, but we wanted to say thank you so much for your review & your feedback. Best and take care!
Super Easy, Wildly Inaccurate
The only thing you’re achieving by pointing the lens toward the foliage, is a very inaccurate measurement of how much light is bouncing away from the leaves. You definitely need to be measuring the light from the source direction. Plants don’t look at other plants to see how bright they are, they grow toward the sun.
Example - super bright all day room from S facing window registers as low light. Checking this against hardware and other sources says the total opposite. According to this app I might be able to grow snake plant. In actuality I can grow everything that requires full sun.
This is simple and too easy to use and probably designed for people of the same suit. I would recommend to anyone slightly interested in looking after their plants to do a little research and do things properly. Don’t waste your moolah!

Exactly what I was looking for
All the other light meter apps were far too complicated and didn’t give me clear, simple measures of light levels. I tried several out before finding this, and this app is exactly what I wanted, it’s super easy to use and has massively helped me in understanding where best to place my plants to get the best light. Very pleased!
