Just came across an app called "Light Meter" - it was free so I decided to download it. Anyone else tried it, curious how accurate it is. Dont have a real one to compare it to.

I tried on of these on my android phone and it was hugely inaccurate. Supposedly the iPhone one works better.

The ads, the ads, oh lord the ads. Annoying little pop-up adverts everywhere...

I have 2 or 3 lightmeter apps. I use them to get an idea of ambient and what I need to pull out when setting up.... Flashes or the big guns. I have never actually metered a shot from them. But they seem pretty accurate.
