User Reviews

The app is praised for being a free/low-cost, easy-to-use tool for quick lighting checks and comparisons, with useful camera-switching for different situations and on-site convenience. However, it is repeatedly criticized for inaccurate absolute readings, inconsistent results between front/back cameras, lack of usage instructions, and occasional instability or non-functionality. Overall, it’s a handy relative-reference tool rather than a reliable professional meter.

Pros

Free or low-cost option
Easy and quick to get readings for quick comparisons
Lets you switch between front and back cameras for different situations
Useful for non-technical uses like plant lighting and room planning
Convenient on-site alternative to carrying a dedicated light meter

Cons

Readings are not accurate compared with professional light meters
Absolute values vary between front and back cameras and across trials
No clear instructions or usage guidance
Not continuous; requires manual sampling
Some users report the app doesn't work or crashes

Recent reviews

It doesn’t measure constantly, you have to hit a button to sample, BUT it is the ONLY free light measuring app I’ve found that will let me swap cams for different situations!

I just use a light meter for plants, and for that it's excellent. It need not be perfectly accurate for me, and it's great for comparing the available light under lights and in windows as the days get shorter and the sun gets weaker.
