Review summary

The Light Sensor Counter app is appreciated for its useful functionality in counting light triggers, especially for DIY and electronic projects. Users find it works well for slow and ambient light changes. However, limitations include inability to use the back camera, missed counts during fast flashing lights, stopping counts when the screen is off, and lack of customizable sound notifications. Improvements such as options for camera selection, better detection of fast flashes, background counting, and enhanced UI were suggested to enhance usability.
Pros
  • Useful for counting LED light triggers and other light-based events.
  • Provides thoughtful options, suitable for electronic enthusiasts and DIY projects.
  • Works well for low frequency light detection and ambient light changes.
  • Simple and fulfills the basic functionality needed by users.
  • User-friendly interface appreciated by some users.
Cons
  • Uses front-facing camera only with no option to switch to the back camera, limiting functionality.
  • Inaccurate or missed counts for short, fast light flashes (e.g., blinking LEDs).
  • App stops counting when the screen is off or when the power button is pressed.
  • Limited sound notification options; sound is too quiet and not customizable.
  • User interface elements like borders take up valuable screen space on small devices.

This app uses the front facing camera as light sensor no settings to change to the main (back) camera on the mobilephone. Response rate is not good could be an OS issue. Tested with a blinking red LED. Misses many (>50%) of the short (250ms ie ¼s) flashes at 50% duty cycle.

Nice, but the sound is barely hearable. Would be nice if there are notifications such as sms, smart alert when threshold is crossed

I am an electronic enthusiast and i just developed a circuit that switches poles every 5 mins theoretically. I waited a few times to see if it actually switches on and off keep missing the led going on or off with other work keeping me busy. I found this app and setmy phone facing the led....and forgot about it for 15 mins to come back and see the counter showing 3 times triggered. Awesome, now i can do other work while testing circuits by temporarily installing a led in the circuit for this app

I like the idea. Good start. But a few improvements would make it far more useful. 1. The purple border takes up valuable screen resource on small devices. Remove it and the inner border. This will expand room for the plot arena. 2. Sometimes one needs to trigger on both rise *and* fall. Please add this option. 3. It would be very useful to have a lower *and* upper (bilevel) trigger thresholds. A count is incremented when the signal crosses both thresholds. 4. Also allow use of the back camera.

Good one , Counter should be allowed to set negative value also, or it should allow count down also.

Excellent and thoughtful options! Would be even better if a frequency counter is added.
