I see this new PPFD Meter for my phone, but what about compatibility?

Do I need to pay for Photone?

No. But Yes. You can download and use the app for free. To measure your specific light accurately, you will need to unlock an additional light source which costs between $3 and $7 one-time and is valid a lifetime.
I purchased and use the Full Spec LED option. 
 
We also offer additional Pro features (all light sources, color temperature measurements, advanced settings, additional content, premium support) as a subscription for $5 a month or $30 a year that you may cancel anytime.
 
You won’t be charged anything without explicit purchase. With every purchase you support us in providing you with the best, most accurate and ad-free light meter app in the world — and also our planet!

Features 🌟

  • 📏 Best-In-Class Accuracy: Get precise light measurements rivaling expensive hardware meters.
  • 🔆 Excellent Cosine Correction: Ideal directional response for real-world lighting conditions.
  • 🔬 Swiss Quality: Developed and tested in a Swiss optics laboratory, ensuring premium quality and reliability.
  • 🔧 Easy Clip-On Design: Simple to attach to your device’s front camera, compatible with all newer iPhones and iPads.
  • 🛠️ Hand-Assembled: Each piece is carefully assembled and tested for quality control.

Benefits 🌿

  • 📱 Portable & Convenient: Carry professional-grade light measurement anywhere you go.
  • 💡 Enhanced Precision: Achieve uniform light diffusion for accurate readings.
  • 🌍 Global Compatibility: Compatible with various iPhone and iPad models; not yet available for Android.
  • 📦 Quick Shipping: Orders ship within one business day, with worldwide delivery options.

How It Works 🛠️

The diffuser uses a semi-transparent disc with a microscopically rough surface to scatter light evenly. This allows your device to measure light accurately, even from different directions, thanks to the cosine corrector functionality. Developed by Swiss experts, it ensures professional results every time.
