Description
There used to be an entire industry based on red lights, that would have nothing (or very little) to do with scarcely dressed women - they called themselves photographers.
If you remember these times you probably call at least one of the mechanical wonders your own, which are today known as analog cameras and the best of them didn't have something called "in-camera metering" on the feature list.
Well, here's an App for you - dust off your Leicas, Hasselblads and Linhofs or whatever brand you fancy, stop looking for Mercury batteries and worrying about Selenium, what you need is already in your pocket!
Photometer will turn your iPhone into a reliable Exposure Meter, a modern interpretation of what it should be in times of retina displays and touch screens - for old times sake we have included a classic skin that feels and behaves just like the real thing.
Now go out and start taking pictures with grain, not noise!

Looks nice - not much substance
Nice interface but minimum aperture is f32 - not useful at all for pinhole work.
Also only full stop increments allowed - no half or third stop settings
Would probably be a 4 or 5 if these were addressed
Update response to question - f128 - laser cut pinholes

Good, modern light meter
I use this with medium-format film cameras, where it does a very good job and has saved me from purchasing a dedicated light meter device.
It has two views; modern and classic. The classic view presents the interface of an old Gossen or Sekonoc meter - a bit of a gimmick. The modern view provides a full-screen view through the camera with a spot target, RGB color guide and controls that are very readable and intuitive - it's what you'd want if you bought a dedicated light meter.

Works ok, but would like more customization options
I would like to be able to set the aperture and shutter to match the values on my camera. It is annoying when the largest aperture exceeds the one I actually have available to me.
It would be great if these could be saved as unique configurations that could be recalled when necessary as when changing lenses or cameras.
Also, the "target" is not well marked--I could not always see it when trying to take a reading. I would like to be able to control the size of the target area as well.
Another UI change I would like is for the flicking from side to side to work even when your finger is positioned over the blank space at the extreme ends of the scales.
The use of full stop increments works for my current camera and lens but what if I change to a setup that offers third-stop increments or half-stops?

Good handling and visuals, only goes to 4 seconds
I have looked at many light meter apps, and this one has by far the best handling and visuals, but it tops out at 4 second exposures, which renders it mostly useless to me. Please fix developers!

Great:needs a few tweaks
I love the two different views. The meter is right on. Needs a flash meter and more times. 200 please?

Keep it simple...
Those who ever used an old school Light Meter will feel instantly familiar with this app, the classic view matches my Hasselblad 500C perfectly. The modern view is super simple and intuitive.

Nice start, a couple of adjustments and it'll be golden.
Its a nice start to an a phone based light meter but needs some enhancements adjustments.
1) There is no flash meter setting so you can measure flash power to set your camera.
2) Only supports front camera , not rear camera, which if you are trying to read a light meter you want it facing you and measuring light from the direction you are shooting; preferably general light vs a specific point perhaps which this only measures on a forward facing point...and usually at least for me at really low unrealistic f-stop ratings. (i.e f/1.0)
3) The locking user interface is a bit quirky, I understand the concept behind it but I can usually interact abit more freely with it.
