compared to my Gossen Luna pro F, I calibrated it in reflected and incident. it seemed l to be reasonably accurate. if it had both high and low , or high calibration points, plus temp reading it would be awesome. but that's a lot to ask. I would not quibble over the difference in between any two meters I use as there are always small differences. going to try it on ground glass of my large format, and on easel under enlarger. Edited

Off by three stops. Had this app for a few years now. It worked great on my Pixel 2. However, when I upgraded my phone to the Pixel 6, the app is now off by 3 stops. If I'm metering for 400 speed film, I have to set the ISO on the app to 50 to get a proper exposure. Even though it's 3 stops off, because of it's simplicity, this is still my goto light meter app.

I shot an entire vacation using this app. 8 rolls of film with essentially very basic entry level knowledge of film photography. In terms of exposure, almost all photos turned out looking great. I tried using other apps and they just weren't as intuitive as this one. I like how simple this app is and for someone who has probably bought less than 10 apps ever, this is one that I am happy I paid for.

I wish I could have a better way to determine if my phone's camera is compatible with the reflect meter. There is a huge discrepancy between the reflected light meter and the incidental light meter. I haven't done any shots using the meter, but the incidental seems about accurate to the Sunny 16 rule—close enough that I'm sure it's working as designed, at least. Using the reflected meter, though, the meter is always around 1/500 at f2, no matter what I meter, though my phone saves exposure exif.

This light meter app is well worth the price. I checked it out with several of my cameras it is spot-on. Very happy that I purchased it. Two changes that would improve this Light Meter. 1. The digital readout just below the zoom lever is nice but the ISO changes from my selected ISO when displayed. 2. Exposure Compensation option would be great. I use this a lot when shooting. Edited
