Was apprehensive about trying the app because of the amount of 1 star ratings, but I don't have a Note 4, which seems to be a large chunk of the negative reviews. Works pretty well on the Nexus 5x. Camera is pretty responsive and exposure readings are pretty accurate. It could use a grid function for spot metering, and a color meter would be awesome, but this is advertised as a light meter and it works well for that function.

As noted in title, this thing is alright in terms of its accuracy, however, it irritates me that for iPhone users the app is free. Whereas us Android users gotta pay. If it were .99ยข on BOTH phones, I'd probably say it's worth it. After all, it's still cheaper than buying a light meter and is good in a pinch.

I love this app on iOS with feature light meter based on focus point which are NOT available on Android. Please add this feature in next version And I can not use Log feature even when I linked to Dropbox. Nothing happens when I add a log. The log photos don't show up until I reboot my device. P/S: I used LG G2 with Android 4.4.2

I have used this light meter for years. Unlike other meters, you get an image & reading on your screen. It is perfect for making critical exposure judgements in difficult lighting, even with polarizers. I use it to shoot Velvia slide film with all my unmetered 1930's cameras! Be aware, Android use can be buggy. This is because the hardware running Android is so different from one another. I keep an old iPod touch in my camera bag to run this app exclusively & it's the best exposure tool I've ever had!

Save for some slight lag I've never had an issue with the app. Always been super accurate.

I had this app for my iPhone and it worked great. I recently switched to a Samsung Galaxy S7, and bought the same app, and it doesn't work at all. It constantly freezes, and when it does generate a reading, the reading is way off. I have compared the app side-by-side on my Galaxy and on an iPhone while pointing both phones at the same thing, and the values are not even close.

This meter is the only one I'll use even with the Note 4 freezing problem. It's better than the others in that it lets you see a picture of the exposure you would get via the camera on the phone. Please fix freezing problem!!!

Had to buy it for a class and it doesn't even work. Crashes and force closes whenever I try to log something and does nothing when I tap for an exposure. Can't complete my class correctly now.

When I open the app, it immediately crashes my phone into a reboot. Every. Single. Time. If I could give this ZERO stars, I would! Please fix this bug ASAP or give me my money back. (LG Nexus 4 | JB 4.3)

Camera view is freezing galaxy S7 Active. Not sure what the deal is but it's sluggish and freezing. For an app that costs money this is a disappointment

Has no color temperature readings. I'm using a note 5. Not at all like the iOS version

App opens, but is instantly laggy. Camera feed freezes. Does not work. Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

I just switched from apple to android and was so excited to see this app was available on android. It is my absolute favorite app on my iPhone but the android version is horrible. The camera constantly freezes and there is no white balance reading which is the entire reason I use this app!

Watched a tutorial of how this app is supposed to work. Mine does not behave as intended but instead freezes the image and does not allow me to tap screen to receive a different reading.

Taking a photography class. We are doing a pinhole photography. I'm the only one in the class with am android phone and when I run the software the software freezes. IPhone are fine. Please help

As soon as it's opened willfreeze, just can't use it with my Note 4

I hoped the Android version would include white balance as the iOS version does. Still, it's exposure readings match my camera (Canon 5D IV) very well so no complaints about that. For the price, it is a very handy means of examining exposure requirements in advance when you do not have your camera along.

On the ios app you have a color meter too. That was the only reason I purchased this app for but unfortunately on the Android platform you haven't incorporated that feature. I'd be highly appreciative if you find it feasible to add the color meter feature to the Android platform too. Thanks.

I just purchased this lightmeter app for my Galaxy Note 4, and every time I open this app, it freezes. I'm kind of bummed because this app works great on my iPhone. I want my money back.

App freezes and doesn't work. The company got back to and said to get a refund. They have no solution

I open the app and take a reading, and get very accurate reading. But if I need a second reading, I have to exit out of the app and then reopen.

hrm. i like how functional the app is, but does it have some upper bound to the calculations? Didn't change computed result between dark and very dark scenes. Also held GPS lock one time until I realized it and swiped away the activity, lost a lot of battery.

I noticed how this app works on apple products, the developer didn't give an F to tweak it for android just dumped it on play store to sell its so bad it freezes and lags and don't work at all what a waste of money.

Not working on my moto x. Set ISO and f number and it won't tell me my exposure time even when I tap continuously. Only does it randomly every now and then without my touch.

A. G. u. Feb 23, 2018     

Great but...the only time the meter seems to read for a good exposure is on my front facing camera otherwise it reads f/16 every time. Otherwise it's fairly accurate and reliable for being free

Doesn't allow me to tap the screen to get different readings! Please fix this issue as this is something I have paid for! Rubbing on OnePlus 5

Used it for years on iOS and now on Android. Does the job well. I tried several others but it provides the best all around mix of ease if use and features. I would love an update (it's been 3 years, come on...) to have EV read out now that I use it w/ my Hassie.
