It doesn't read high as long as you use the 22# white paper. It reads perfect.The app is 150 off basically right and it reads high. We can get a good idea from that, thanks iggy!

Yea that's super cool. $500 saved eh? Wonder if Android is as accurate, without the diffuser.It doesn't read high as long as you use the 22# white paper. It reads perfect.
I chose to keep the $175 as I like the fact it's a dedicated unitYea that's super cool. $500 saved eh? Wonder if Android is as accurate, without the diffuser.
I originally did this comparison with standard copy paper - which is 22# weight. After posting my results on Reddit, a developer asked me to try some different paper. What I learned - if you are going to use this app to measure PAR - it seems to be very accurate - even compared to the high end Apogee. HOWEVER - the developers should/need to mention that in order to get accurate results you MUST use 22# paper, which is not standard copy paper.
The instructions in the app say "Use regular matte white printer paper (22lb or 80g/m2) - 22lb paper is not the standard paper, and most users are most likely not going to have it readily available.

good Budget option then?
Legend, thanks for that, been using envelope paper with mine, will grab some 22lb tomorrow and adjustCorrect![]()
