I've been using it on and off since beta. Now I see there are "pro" settings they want me to pay $75 to unlock. They also want to sell a diffuser for $40. Oh, but it's "on sale" for an "introducotry" price of $26, except it was introduced years ago. $100+ for a setup that uses my own phone hardware to extrapolate. It's a good tool, but if I want to "go pro," I'll save up the 5x for a pay once, dedicated hardware meter. Edited

This app has been fantastic, I have the diffuser accessory now, and it made it a lot more stable. I have been using paper and it was reading quite a bit lower than it actually was and I always thought I was having to run my plants with low light and I felt bad always trying to push them thinking I was running low. Now, with the accessory, it seems to be much better. I had to raise my lights and dim one of them, and after a couple of weeks, everything is great. Edited

Look, this app is incredible. For years I used a dedicated lux meter and did all the math myself to convert to PPFD/DLI. Now, I can't even think of a feature I'd want that this app doesn't have. PPFD, DLI, color temp, lux, measurement hold, tilt detector, peak / average values, quick changes for DLI hours, oh and the values are correct too. Never before have I been so pleased with a piece of software! I'd pay for this app for sure, so long as it was a one time cost and not a subscription.

Update ruined the entire experience. Forces you to use a piece of paper for the same accuracy as prior when one wasn't required. However, every paper I've tried is different texture, thickness etc and gives different readings. And the app bugs out and tells me I need a paper defuser when one is already attached. It's all way more inconsistent with no way to switch back to the older version which was way more dependable. I guess they want me to buy their third party diffuser but I'll just delete.

Great concept, quick response from support. I had an issue with a tip not dismissing and they got back to me the next day from the other side of the planet. The light readings are pretty far out from my actual meter, but hopefully they can fine tune it for better accuracy. Be sure to look through the extras on the site, they have a great little start of a plant database with light info for various species - looking forward to this being integrated fully into the app in time. Well done, devs!
