Description
Lightme - Lightmeter is a clean, simple to use yet very powerful lightmeter.
It is optimised for an easy one-handed use, both for left-handed and right-handed users, with the main controls within your thumb's reach, without the fatiguing juggling of your precious smartphone.
A core distinguishing feature of Lightme - Lightmeter is that - differently from most of the other apps - it can show multiple combinations of valid settings for aperture and shutterspeed at the same time by working like a - stretched out - old needle and wheel lightmeter. This allows the user to quickly pick the desired settings without having to scroll on a tiny wheel picker.
The app is designed to be welcoming to people who are just starting out, with a simple one-button use. But it offers many useful and advanced features for the more experienced shooters/users:
Continuous metering (by pressing and holding or double tapping the measure button)
Spot metering with a variable zoom (for more precision) which also supports average metering, and a very intuitive implementation of the zone system
Automatic reciprocity failure compensation (for 25+ films, if you see exposure times in red, they are being compensated)
A dedicated pinhole mode with precise exposure times for user defined apertures (multiple apertures at a time), with the possibility of setting a timer (through a shortcut)
Incident light metering with calibration when using the front facing camera
And more ...
It also includes some other features that are enjoyable by any kind of user:
Black and white preview
The ability to use any of the cameras on your smartphone (swipe left/right on the preview)
Multiple presets for your different camera/film/lens setups
Framelines for previewing your shot, before setting up your tripod etc.
A searchable list of useful tips to make better use of the application's potential
A searchable list of more than 70 films to choose from with the possibility of selecting a few favourites
Dark mode support and a useful level of customisation
You can find even more info in the tips inside the app or you can have a look at full user manual by tapping on manual (in the settings)
The app is free in all its many functionalities, but it offers In-App-Purchases in order to support the project.
The only minor perk you can enable only via certain IAPs is the replacement of the Ad button with a label containing the name of your current preset, check under settings -> coffee for more info.
Don't panic though, even if there's an Ad button it doesn't mean I'm going to show you ads. In fact unless you decide to tap on that button I'm never going to show you any. But if you have a few minutes to spare, watching a few of them sure helps keeping this project alive :)
Try it, and, if you like it, share it with your friends and consider writing a (mini) review ;)
Have a nice day, and good light!

Kevin James Bond,
Best light meter I’ve tested — FREE
Does the job and has tons of features. It’s free! The person that built the app seems like a very cool person. The app is so helpful and intuitive too. The developer really care about their users. It’s clear. And their personality even comes through. After installing you feel like you know them, download and use you’ll see what I mean. 10/10 great app. Free and powerful! I even voluntarily watch the ads frequently in the app to support the developer. Great app. Thank you!!

Amazing, Accurate and Clean
This Lightme is by far my most used app on my iPhone. This light meter is very simple to use and if at any point you get confused about the apps functions there a built in tips function that let you know all there is to know and tricks you may not have known about the app.
This light meter is very accurate it’s stand right up with my other analog lightmeters.
The clean look on of this apps UI helps give off a very easy to use experience.
Love it!

Zeta Photography Studio,
Not accurate as other app and Hand meter
A few things could improve. Emailed the developer and never heard back regarding my opinions for improvement.
Selecting the film is tedious and takes far to long. The window needs to be larger or type and a drop down appears for speed. Not in any order so hard to find.
To make a purchase. The developer has joking titles that tell you nothing about what you gain in features and ability.
Unable to reach developer for answers is a must. Can’t recommend this or the log app either for these reasons.

By FAR the best light meter app!
LightMe is the ONLY light meter app that I’ll use. All my cameras are antique, and mainly from the 19th and early 20th centuries— a time before aperture/shutter priority. One of the features that I like most about LightMe is that it displays the entire range of settings and fractions instead of forcing you to choose a priority like other apps do. I could go on for hours about why I love this app. Keep up the good work, and I can’t wait to see what else you’ll get up to!

Tremendous light meter built by a passionate developer
The combination of a great user interface, accurate light metering, and no ads* (opt-in to support the developer) makes this easily the best app on the App Store.
Thank you so much for spending the time to build such a useful tool for film photographers! Love your donation-based/opt-in ad approach to support the development. With your active engagement to feedback on Reddit, this app feels like an open source project for the benefit for all of us.

Absolutely perfect
An absolute gem of an app. Integration with the log is a cherry on top of a decadent sundae with all the fixings.
One thing that would be nice to have to make it even better, is if we could get a black and white preview with the option of adding colored filters. Yellow, orange, red, green even. It would help with learning how colors react with the filter and plan our shots when using them.

One step to perfect
The app got great and beautiful UI and it is easy to use. But I don’t know if I set anything wrong, the app seems not quite smooth. Every time I change a set, the app just froze for a second and then change its set. My phone is iPhone11. I admit that it is a little bit old, but relatively it is still a high performance device. Hope the developer can do something to change the situation.

Powerful, intuitive, and comprehensive
Lightme is a fully featured, powerful light meter app that nevertheless has a very clean and easy to use interface. I especially enjoy the clean design and controls. Plus, the integration with the soon-to-be-released Logbook app is super awesome. Can’t wait to see what new upgrades are still to come!
Filipdee1,
Good app
Clean and great! I like it a lot and have a suggestion: add optional shutter speed compensation. For example, for each camera allow the user to input real, measured shutter speeds. Then the app can meter according to true, not nominal speeds for each camera. Most of my cameras have top speeds slower by 1/3 to 1 EV, just due to wear and age. Just a thought :)

Great simple meter app for film photography
This is a really nice simple light meter for film photography. I’ve tested it on several rolls of film and the exposures were spot on. and it was simple to use.
The zone system and spot metering are really nice to have as well and Its nice how you can easily see all the apertures and shutter speeds on the sidebar with a quick glance.
