Contact Plant Light Meter Support

**Do not buy the update broke it.**

The original version was a bit tricky position, but it worked. In the new version the app attempts to take a reflective light reading instead of an ambient one, but it’s wildly inaccurate. Plants sitting on the window sill in direct sun often read as if they had lower light then plants 4-6 feet away from the nearest window. Plants with darker coloration read as if they have less light then plants directly next to them. The app also no longer supports plants with variegated or colorful leaves.

It was so helpful before the recent update. When I moved into my new place a year ago it helped me figure out my lighting and where my plants, new and old, could thrive. And it worked! This new update is—and I don’t say this lightly—trash. It reads low or too low for every one of my plants, many of which the app told me before (and I know is true) are in bright or medium light. Pretty bummed to not have this tool at my disposal anymore!

I’ve had a kitchen full of flourishing plants for the past year - golden pothos, philodendrons, monsteras and quite a few others. Typically these like medium - low indirect light. Per this app, my lighting in my kitchen is “very low” where “no planes can survive for long.” Obviously, this is totally wrong. I also pointed the app directly at my full spectrum grow lights and also got the reading “very low.” Don’t waste your dollar this is app is a joke.
