Great app, but…

This was just updated but is still lacking the ability to lock two of the three parameters in wheels mode. Also, missing 1/3 stops above ISO 6400.

Not working with iPhone 6 plus and iOS 8.1

Not working with iPhone 6 plus and ios 8.1. App never gets past opening screen

No thx

Ads intrusively everywhere wish I hadnt upgraded. No thanks.

Amazing meter for the price

Ive used this app for 2 years and have had great success using it along side my Rolleiflex TLRs.

Crashes

Not sure what happened with this version but it never gets past the title screen before it crashes. Hopefully theres a fix soon!

Great!

Simple Perfect I dig it Great to have in a pinch or as a backup light meter. Great to be able to see the exposure. A manual exposure adjustment would be a handy addition to this already useful app. UPDATE: thanks for keeping this great app up to date with new phone releases!

Crashes

Doesnt make it past the loading title screen on iPhone 6 running 8.1

10 stars is warranted

Vlad you provide Exceptional customer service. The time you took to get PLM operating on my Antique Iphone is greatly appreciated and the results are Perfect. Thanks for all you do!

Shooter

A1. Use it all the time

Almost useless

I have been a photographer for over four decades, before cameras had integrated light meters. This app provides little useful feedback in the light levels of ordinary interior lighting in a non-intuitive manner. Deleted.

Does a great job! Way better than I expected.

It works fantastically well for what it costs. Are you going to have the same utility as your 300-600 dollar light meter? No. Did you pay less than a cup of coffee for it? Yes. More often than not it’s pretty close to my physical light meter. Great if you just want to have a double check on your guess. Even for digital shooters, I’d recommend as tool for novices to help learn how to understand the whole aperture / shutter speed relationship.

Good app getting worse and worse

This used to be my go-to light meter. But with each update it gets worse. Im using it for film so every missed frame is money Im wasting. Get it together, dev. Update: still doesnt work well. Can we get the version from a couple years ago?

Doesnt work on iPhone 6+ in low light

Updated Jan 10 5* again Pre update Using the main camera, gives low light error even in bright sun. Using the FaceCall camera, it seems ok, but that makes app essentially useless unless you use LUxI attachment. Useless now. Worked great with 5s, 5c etc.

Crashes

Soon as I open it, always crashes. Tried to reload it and same thing. Waste of time

Does not work on my iphone 5s

The latest revision does not work on my iphone 5s

(Was)Great for me!

Latest update has failed me. Crashes on my iPhone 4s upon opening. Was great before (see previous review below) but is now UNUSABLE!! I used this app teaching kids darkroom photography. I was shooting paper negatives; photo paper loaded in old 4x5 film holders, which have an ASA of about 10! Maybe 8! In general I could get a pretty good exposure! Super for those times I forgot my Sekonic $300 meter.

Crashes upon opening

I had this app up until June of last year and it worked fine, I re-downloaded it today and now it crashes as soon as I open it. please fix it, this is so useful!!

Latest update crashes immediately

Totally useless

Crashes

Crashes as soon as it opens. Time to delete this and find a more reliable app.

New update crashes

App is now crashing immediately. Very frustrating as I needed it for a shoot and expected it to work as usual.
