Thanks for continuing to follow GrayZone!
We’ve been working hard to keep up with all your requests. You can now choose to use the app as a simple SPOT meter, or switch to a more advanced version of the Zone System, where you can finally assign the zone you want to your first reading and see where all the other zones fall accordingly.
We’ve also added 1/3-stop increments, taking precision one step further.
There’s now a nice little button for contacting support directly, plus some good old code and interface cleanup — and, of course, full compatibility with iOS 27.
