## Pocket Light Meter Reviews in United States

### *---- "What happened?"
The app keeps hanging with the latest IOS. There’s been no updates in 5 years so I guess the app is dead?
-- nosmorking, 2025-01-21

### **--- "Was great…"
It was a five star app but after upgrading to iOS 18 it freezes every time.
-- Rbatey, 2025-01-12

### **--- "Used to be great"
This used to be fabulous but has not been updated in years and stalls constantly under iOS 18. Seems to no longer be supported.
-- O.Ro, 2025-01-06

### ***** "Replaces my Sekonic Spot Meter, until iOS 18 broke it."
Best light meter app I have found. It calibrates spot on and has since replaced my Sekonic L588. I shoot MF film on a regular basis and this app serves as meter, colour meter, digital proof and log book. I find it the most indispensable app, and one of the most used apps on my Apple devices.

And then iOS 18 wreaked havoc on my apps! PLM still operates, but it locks the screen after about six seconds. I find that switching to selfie mode then back to front camera gives me another six seconds of usefulness.
-- Old Skool Film Junky, 2024-11-25

### ***-- "Worked great, until iOS 18"
The app worked really well until iOS 18 was released. Now it’s constantly freezing. Please update!
-- Kreadive, 2024-10-25

### *---- "No update. App freezes"
DO NOT BUY! dev has not update app and freezes seconds after opening
-- Photo Pro69, 2024-10-18

### *---- "Doesn’t work on iOS 18"
With the iOS 18 upgrade, this app slows down & freezes just a few seconds after opening.
-- James McDaniel, 2024-09-28

### *---- "Freezing"
After using this app for over a year with no issues, its starting to freeze.
-- JeffKumo, 2024-09-26

### ***** "Excelente"
La mejor aplicación que hay la utilizo todo el tiempo
-- Elsa rosito, 2024-07-21

### ***-- "It’s great but.."
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.
-- dedetonatedWAM, 2024-04-16

### ***** "Successful Use For 10 Years"
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.
-- Carleton Torpin, 2024-03-25

### ***** "A good tool for the job!"
I’m a professional portrait event photographer. I’ve been using it for years, and it’s an excellent tool.
-- Dcorey363, 2024-03-13

### ***** "Newbie at this"
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.
-- NeedZen, 2024-03-03

### ***** "Consistent Results"
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!
-- moodyempath, 2023-12-29

### ****- "The Best…..so far"
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.
-- CANDELAPRODS, 2023-07-26

### ***** "Great."
Works really well!
-- S in Austin, 2023-03-13

### ***** "Accurate for Shooting video and film"
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!
-- FilmtheStars, 2023-01-17

### **--- "Not accurate enough"
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.
-- MrNicknock, 2022-12-02

### ****- "It works!"
Simple and easy to use
-- WaltPolley, 2022-05-06

### ***** "Very handy"
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.
-- Capisco Mike, 2022-04-03
