Pocket Light Meter App Reviews

La mejor aplicación que hay la utilizo todo el tiempo

The app worked really well until iOS 18 was released. Now it’s constantly freezing. Please update!

I'm experiencing a problem where the app suddenly freezes when I try to meter a spot for more than four seconds. I added this feature as a shortcut using the action button on both my iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, and I'm encountering the same issue on both devices. I would appreciate the opportunity to share my experience in more detail.

Thank you, thank you thank you!

I have used this app for many yet, tried other APPs, this is so far the best I have tried.

In settings you should be able to set an Aperture min and max setting. Also a Time min and max setting.

It’s a great, simple to use app and I’ve been using it for years. However, there’s a bug which causes the app to freeze and not respond to light changes (what is worse is that it is not obvious as the app seems to work normal, so it can lead to completely wrong readings). I hope it gets updated soon. It tends to happen when the front facing camera is used (not sure if also present when main camera is used).

It’s a great light meter ap. Do a lot of live studio work. The LD tells me its OK your meter tells me he’s right. For my purposes it’s all it needs to be.

Excellent product. Very useful and handy to compare different lighting situations. I can see this app growing excitement product into spot metering and measuring light temperature (kelvin).

I’m a professional portrait event photographer. I’ve been using it for years, and it’s an excellent tool.

I’ve used this app for all of my light metering of analog film photography. With slide-film, my results are precise and that can be attributed to the accuracy of the meter app’s readings.

I’m kinda bummed out it won’t work on android. It kinda of already looks like an android UI, so… :D Idk, please consider android users! My S24 Ultra is a beast of a phone.

I shoot on an old TLR film camera and I use this as my light meter. I always get consistent results so I’ve used this app solely for years!

I am by no means a professional at this. But it’s easy to use for an amateur and so far seems to be matching my digital camera settings. I am using it for my foray into film and also to get better at choosing my own settings with digital. So far the film pictures also seem to be coming out about right.

This is really the best iPhone Exp Meter available. The only thing holding back the 5 star rating is the cheesy font and background in the logged photos. Needs modernization and a few graphic interface improvements. Adding the ability to assign Hold and Log buttons using the iPhone up and down volume buttons would make this a killer app. Please keep developing this app and hopefully add the button feature.

Works really well!

Seems silly to use your iPhone to check your light settings, but for some of my medium format cameras that no longer have working meters, this is fantastic. Set it time ISO film you’re using and can even log as you go. Can’t wait to run around the city sigh some 800!CineStill in my 120 camera!

Accurate. Easy to use. Bug changing the EV compensation where you have to force quit the app.

Measures exposures accurately without any additional bulk in your pocket.

Very handy. I do a lot of outdoor travel photography and it’s been nice to have this in my pocket. I’ve used it in a few professional shoots as well. Highly recommended.

Simple and easy to use

This used to be fabulous but has not been updated in years and stalls constantly under iOS 18. Seems to no longer be supported.

It was a five star app but after upgrading to iOS 18 it freezes every time.

Meter reading with the app aren’t as accurate as a camera meter or a spot/ incident meter. I only use this if I am desperate. Even using Sunny 16, adjusted to your environment after a few months of testing, is more accurate.
