I Have used this app for about 4yrs, to meter scenes for 35mm and 120 film photography and for what it is, in my opinion it’s easily the best light meter app for IOS. Out of the 3-4 other ones I’ve tried out over the years it’s the most customizable as far as parameters and settings, you can also make custom lens profiles for quick access to locked settings, which I haven’t found in any others. It also has two different UI’s, One gives you a good bit more information like your hyperfocal distance and near focusing distance and the EV of the scene as well as being able to fine-tune and set limits on your shutter speeds and apertures. Most of all the accuracy of the meter is surprisingly good and you can evaluate a whole scene or take spot readings by tapping the area you want metered on the screen in pro mode. I have also compared with my 5d mkii meter and gotten comparable results. If you do notice it leaning more over or under exposed there is 1/3 stop Increment's of compensation +\- you can adjust in the settings. All in all a great tool for the one time price, especially if you don’t have much use for an expensive Light Meter for the type of photography you do this is definitely the best budget way to go.

I wanted to wait until I got my film back before reviewing this app. I absolutely love the design of it and handling it is a breeze. Most importantly though it WORKS. I am a film photographer who shoots landscapes and waterfalls. Long exposure for waterfalls needs an accurate meter reading. I took a chance on a $4 app before burning $200+ on a real meter and it paid off. I got accurate and *consistent* exposures across 3 different lenses and 4 different film stocks. I wish I could include the photos this app helped produce in the review because it is spectacular. Easy to use in the field with instant results and high sensitivity to lighting changes. I am very pleased and so thankful someone put this out there for such a low price. ***I would like to point out that, when compared to my camera’s self meter, it’s results were less accurate indoors. If you mainly shoot portraiture or indoor scenes I can’t speak to how accurate it will be for that, but I give it a 10/10 for natural light

I have been using this application for years. I still shoot negative film, and all my cameras are over 50 years old. Many do not even have meters built into them. Since my old cameras have been recently serviced, I know the actual shutter speeds. I have taken hundreds of photos that were perfectly exposed using the MyLightMeter app, and I trust it is far more accurate than a questionable electronic meter on a 50-year-old camera. I highly recommend this app! I am a hobbyist (not a professional), and negative film has quite a bit of latitude when it comes to exposure errors, but I have NEVER been disappointed with the results of this application’s meter reading suggestions.

I was a little Leary when I first found this app. I wondered how a camera phone and software could accurately measure light. After all, physical light meters are quite expensive. However after reading the reviews and looking at just a few dollars for the app, I decided to pull the shutter! I am not disappointed!! As soon as it was downloaded, I set up three different product shots in my studio. I measured the different lighting using Led always-on lights and then switched out to 2 strobes. The accuracy of this app blew me away! Out of three setups and several images captured, None were off the mark. Thank you for creating this app. I am so glad I found it!
