Ratings and Reviews
Simple, works!
I like that I can choose where to focus. A couple other meters I tried, I really wasn’t sure what point it was referencing to get its reading, but with this, I know!
What I wish existed was an easier way to access the tutorial after the initial view and perhaps provide a short demo video for beginners.
Simple and accurate
I am new to film photography, so I was very concerned about making sure my photos were properly exposed. I found this app, and tested it out by taking exposure readings with both the app ans my digital camera. This app is completely accurate to a true exposure reading with an actual light meter, so if you’d rather not carry one of those around all the time, this is it.
Nice interface, needs more features
Originally I thought that this app was giving low readings, but it turns out my digital camera was off! My film shots turned out great when using this app. It has a really nice UI, but could use more features. Perhaps something like spot/weighted metering. Overall really good
Developer Response ,
Hi ellip0t,
We would like to help you get better exposed photos. Could you please share your setup with us (film type, camera) and the light conditions in which you're shooting (outdoor, indoor, landscape, portrait, etc)? Thank you
