Doesn't work on my Samsung Moment running 2.1.

keep it good

R70%
by R####:

Looks promising but didn't work on my Nexus One. In addition to light sensor, it should be able to use the camera for spot and average metering

R70%
by R####:

It would be a useful app if it had a greater range. In my shots I like extremes in appature that are not possible to measure with this app.

F70%
by F####:

Doesnt work on clerks x10i... It needs to b force closed as soon as I start the app

R70%
by R####:

Useless on Droid. Can't calculate exposure properly. Better to stick with your camera's TTL metering.

R70%
by R####:

Great idea but wouldn't work on my HTC Desire 2.2. Can you sort it? Good attempt though.

T70%
by T####:

Stopped force closing for some reason and works fine since then. I couldn't check the accuracy yet. If it's ok, this must be one of the best apps.

X70%
by X####:

Great idea, but unfortunately doesn't work most of the time. It simply fails to take a reading and comes up with an error. Samsung i9000 Galaxy S.

R70%
by R####:

Disappointed Apparently my phone does not have a light sensor. Couldn't this app just use the camera instead? Anyway, it's adware so uninstalled. In a sense I'm glad it doesn't work since I allow no adware on my phone.

N70%
by N####:

Interface looks good. Doesn't work on my phone but neither has any other meter. Not the developer's fault.

C70%
by C####:

Really wish it had 1/48 shutter speed (180degree at 24fps) for cinematography.

C70%
by C####:

Still sluggish on Desire HD, but this could be a top app when finished. Doesn't seem to refresh readings fast enough and options sometimes not saved.

C70%
by C####:

This is the best lightmeter app for Android so far. I like the idea to use the volume switch as a metering button! Also I like the layout and the usage of screen area, although the metering area (f-stom/exp-time window) could be even bigger and better visible. Metering accuracy is on par with other similar apps. There is a option for calibration. Only drawback is in the first 5 minutes of usage the app crashed 3 times! Improve the code & a bit of GUI and it will be a winner!

K70%
by K####:

Nicely done, but I get FC when it opens. Worked for a few minutes initially. I like the interface and options I saw. EVO with 2.2 Stock.

C70%
by C####:

Seems to work great, until force close (all the time)

C70%
by C####:

Thus program is still pretty buggy but I recommend you try it

by C####:

Doesn't work on LG Ally. :( wish it did. Interface is perfect.

C70%
by C####:

Still crashes for no reason! Unintuitive to use. Readings are erratic and unreliable. Uses excessive battery power. Not even ready for beta.

K70%
by K####:

Is accurate however force close about 75% of the time.

C70%
by C####:

Has promise, and seems to detect and meter using the light meter, but always force closes when calibrating.

C70%
by C####:

Very good idea, light meter doesn't work on galaxy tab :(

C70%
by C####:

Good potential. Decent UI. Support landscape. Not yet work with Droid 2 Global. D2G has light sensor.

C70%
by C####:

There are a lot of devices not yet compatible, but the developer seems to be working hard to get more devices working. The app itself looks to be of good quality. It isn't working with my X yet, but I'm sure it will one of these days.

looking fine on my Desire HD. keep going.
