Description
Turn your iOS device (with builtin iSight camera) into a exposure meter.
Using the built in camera you can take a picture of the scene you want to measure. LightMeter will calculate the exposure for that scene and display it.
Set-up you camera to the values displayed and you will take a photo with the perfect lighting.
Using the same exposure picker PhotoBuddy does you will feel right at home. The picker allows you to change the f-stop, shutter or iso values after you measured the scene without altering the exposure.
If you use filters for your shots, you need to take them into account when calculating the exposure. LightMeter let's you set the parameters of a filter to make sure you always get the right exposure.

Oh no!
After purchasing app and opening it, a dialogue box, stating that it was not compatible with my iPhone,
popped up. Didn’t get refunded even though app is unusable...

Doesn't work anymore.
It isn't compatible with any iPhone made since the earth was flat.

Just wasted $2.99
Doesn’t work on any phone newer than iPhone 5.

Good but not Great
So far, I have only used this with available indoor lighting inside my apartment. In areas of my apartment that metered between 10 to 60 footcandles LightMeter gave me exposures that were consistently two full stops too dark. However, in two areas that metered at 5 footcandles and less, LightMeter gave me good exposure readings.
Also, when I first installed and tried to use the app, I kept getting a message something like "not enough available memory to take photo". Shutting down and restarting the iPhone resolved the issue.
For $3.00 I guess two stops isn't too bad, but I hope a future update may resolve this issue.

Great app
This app can come in very handy for those of us who still shoot film. I personally shoot with a Hasselblad 500C, and as many of you may know this camera does not have a built in light meter. So long story short i was out shooting and my light meter ran out of battery, so (thinking to my self there is an app for everything) i pulled out my iphone and found this. I used it the rest of the day and When I got home (after I replaced the battery) i used my light meter to check how accurate this app is. I was amazed to see it was almost always within a half of a stop of my meter readings and nearly never more than a full stop off.
In conclusion this is a great app to have “just in case.” I would say the only thing i wish this app had, would have to be a spot meter.

Great photographer tool
I just bought a Hasselblad 500 C/M and have been researching the purchase of a light meter, and read of Flickr on the good results another photographer had with this application, so I had to give it a shot. I compare the readings to those from my Canon 7D and these were a 1/3 off,-or maybe on?-. Wonderful tool!
Could you develop this application to allow reframing of the image on the iPhone screen? This would allow me to match the scene from my camera to the one on lightmeter giving in this way a more accurate reading.
Keep at it. This is well worth the amount paid.

iTunesfool,
Works well
I am a camera repair technican, and work daily with all types of cameras from point-and-shoot digitals to high end Nikons, Sonys and Canons. If you make sure the field of view as close as possible to that of the camera that you are going to use, it works well, especially outside. If for example you zoom in on a particular area with your SLR it will give you a different exposure than the iPhone will with its wider field of view. But all in all, it works well.

A boon to analog photographers
It's accurate enough. And to paraphrase the old saw, the best light meter is the one that's with you. I'm often bugged by a low-memory errors, and I wish the operation of the thing was much faster (does one actually have to snap a shot to get a reading?), and I wish it had a moving-needle interface à la the old Gossens and Sekonics... but these are quibbles. I love it.
d35i6n,
great and accurate tool
Just ran my first roll of slide film through my Yashica matt TLR. It can be very unforgiving but all my shots were right on. It would be faster if you didn't have to take a picture to get a reading, but it is very nice that it does not save and clutter up your photo albums. Also love the fact that you can play with the settings and not have to reshoot for a different reading!
Great job!
Great job!

Perfect Tool
I use this light meter with old rangefinder cameras and it works perfectly. The best feature is the preview photo which acts like a spot meter and a polaroid all at the same time. I have had none of the reliability problems that other reviewers mentioned - must have been an earlier version. This is a truly outstanding app for film photographers.
