FAQ
Are the light readings accurate?
Readings are estimates, not laboratory measurements. The app estimates light from the rear camera's exposure metadata on your device. Results can vary with your iPhone model, angle, surroundings, weather, and other factors. Use them as a helpful guide when placing plants — not as professional horticultural advice.
Why does the app need camera access?
Plant Light Meter uses the rear camera to estimate how much light a spot gets. Frames are processed on your iPhone only; they are never saved or uploaded. You can turn camera access off anytime in Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera, but readings won't work without it.
Does the app use my location?
Only if you allow it, and only for the optional Seasons feature (Premium). Location is used once on-device to choose a latitude band for the seasonal estimate. Your coordinate is not stored, and nothing is sent off the device. You can pick a latitude by hand instead.
How do I restore purchases?
Open Plant Light Meter and use Restore Purchases on the Premium / paywall screen (or in Settings inside the app). Restoring asks Apple to re-check your Apple ID for an active Plant Light Meter subscription. Make sure you're signed into the same Apple ID you used to buy Premium.
How do I cancel my subscription?
On your iPhone, go to Settings > Apple ID (your name) > Subscriptions, select Plant Light Meter Premium, and cancel. Cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period to avoid renewal. You keep Premium until the period you've already paid for ends. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
What are the Premium plans?
Premium Monthly is $8.99/month and includes a 1-week free introductory offer for eligible new subscribers. Premium Yearly is $24.99/year with no trial. Prices are U.S.; other regions may differ. Subscriptions are handled by Apple and auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. See the Terms of Use for full details.
Is my data private?
Yes. There is no account, no analytics, no ads, and no tracking. Saved spots, light logs, plant choice, and calibration stay on your phone. See the Privacy Policy for the full story.
How do I delete my data?
Delete the app from your iPhone. That removes saved spots, light logs, plant choice, calibration, settings, and any stored latitude band. Cancel your subscription separately in Apple ID settings if you no longer want to be billed.
