## Review summary

Lghtmtr is praised for its minimal, easy-to-use design, reliable performance across film cameras, and a privacy-friendly, ad-free experience. Reviewers value the quick snap-and-adjust workflow and consistent results, especially for beginners or vintage gear. Repeated critiques focus on its single-parameter lock limitation, occasional reliability glitches, and common requests for more features like saving readings and locking multiple parameters. Overall sentiment is positive, with strong appreciation for simplicity and usefulness in film photography.

### Pros

- Simple, clean, uncluttered interface that is easy to use
- Reliable and accurate across a variety of film cameras, making it good for beginners
