Light Meter - lux and foot candle measurement tool for Negative User Reviews

Not accurateBought this app thinking it would be nice to not have to carry a commercial light meter with me on project sites. However, when I put it side by side with a commercial light meter (LX 1330B) the readings were not even close to each other. The app readings were less than half those reported by a professional meter and were less responsive to changes in levels when in continuous read mode. I will be deleting the app..Version: 1.1

Horribly InaccurateCompared with a Fluke photometric meter and this app was only showing 50% of that. Do not rely on this app for lighting calcs. Pretty much only good to tell you if it is light or dark..Version: 1.1

Ok for indoorsThis app is convenient. But light measurement is a little off..Version: 1.1

SenselessNo instructions, inconsistent outcomes. Trying to assess home lighting status and needs, doesn't make sense. Paid 1.99 for app with no instructions on how to use. Point it at light fixture? Wall? Floor? Size of room parameters? Perhaps this is just not what I was looking for..Version: 1.1

Not accurateNice to use but not accurate..Version: 1.1

Poor.When I first open the app I had the option to choose between Indoor or Outdoor but after the first operation it failed, the Indoor option is no longer available..Version: 1.1

Inaccurate readingsThis app does not work. Measured foot candles via the app which reflected a level of 28-30. Compared to an actual device to measure light levels which reflected 70-80. Waste of $2..Version: 1.1

Not accurateNot accurate on foot candle readings. I bought to see if I could use it on lighting control programming. Worthless since it doesn't take accurate FC readings..Version: 1.1

Easy to use, but lacks precisionInstalled on an iPhone 4. Very easy to use, with clear readable graphics. I find it odd that measured Lux levels change significantly between 'indoor' and 'outdoor' settings (surely Lux is Lux, irrespective of your location?). I compared measured values side by side with professional light meter device, and found that the indoor setting was way off, but the outdoor setting was much more accurate (but still up to 30% out from time to time). I can't find any way of recalibration of the app which might have helped. I might still continue to use the app, but only as a rough guide when I don't have access to a professional light meter..Version: 1.0

Completely inaccurateIt will show relative differences in lighting but the values given are totally inaccurate when used side by side with real light metering equipment..Version: 1.1

Could be user error butIt’s totally possible that I’m using it wrong, but since there’s no instructions, I don’t know how else to do it. It seems pretty arbitrary, like I’ll hold it up to one spot and it will give me a light range from like 18 fcs to 2,000 fcs so idk..Version: 1.1

Plain does not workI would award no stars if possible. The lighting bolt reacts to having been touched, but nothing happens. There seems to be no settings menu or anything to help fix it..Version: 1.1

Way OffThe app claims it was calibrated with an actual light meter, but the foot candle readings I get are 1/3 the readings on an actual light meter that I have at work. It's basically useless, although now that I know its 1/3 the actual level I can just multiply the app ready by 3 and still be wrong, but closer..Version: 1.1

Does not seem to work anymoreI needed to make a reading but it doesn’t appear to work. I get no reading..Version: 1.1

No customer service. Indoors vs outdoors odd. No color temperature.Do not expect customer service to ever answer any questions or emails. Light levels are absolute levels of brightness. Therefore, it's very odd that there is an indoor/outdoor button to set. The two settings get very different readings. Why? It should not matter whether the reading is indoors or outdoors. The number is simply a function of how bright it is. Other apps on the App Store will also tell you what the color temperature of the light is. That can be very useful in knowing whether it's bluish or yellow-ish. This app does not give you that..Version: 1.1

Very inaccurate and inconsistent, waste of moneyThe reading from front and back camera are very different. The result is very inconsistent during multiple trials. Range from 100 to 30 if pointing directly to the lamp. 0 if not directly point to the lamp. Do not recommend to buy, a waste of money..Version: 1.1

Not AccurateDon't waste your time and money! I conducted a side by side comparison and the reason from the app was very inaccurate..Version: 1.1

Waste of 2.00 dollarsApp records my bedroom light as having the same light level as moonlight. Highly erratic readings as well, do not purchase..Version: 1.1

This app doesn’t work at all. Zero. Tried free and paid versions, all dead.This app doesn’t work at all. Zero. Tried free and paid versions, all dead..Version: 1.1

Not even close!Tried it with Iphone 11 and compared to a professional lux meter. The readings are off by an order of magnitude (about 8 times)! It is unclear how the developer could have “calibrated” the app when it is so grossly inaccurate. Deleting it....Version: 1.1

UselessI bought it because I'm looking for an convenient app so I don't have to bring a separate light meter. Side by side, on exact location and conditions, I get 36 on a professional light meter and 26 on this. 5 - 10% error would be OK, but this is a joke..Version: 1.1
