After three years of development and countless improvements, Photone for Android is officially out of beta! 🎉 Thank you to everyone who joined us on this incredible journey — your support and feedback made this possible.

Throughout the last years, we've continuously improved the app, most notably enhancing measurement accuracy in recent updates. Learn more about these improvements in the detailed blog post:

Exciting Update: Improved Measurement Accuracy for All Android Devices
Photone’s latest Android update revolutionizes smartphone-based light measurement. With our advanced camera-based algorithm, extensive device testing, and enhanced light source selection, we’re bringing professional-grade light measurement technology to your fingertips.

Introducing Pro Features 🚀

With this update, version 1.0.0, we’re excited to launch Pro features for users who want to take their experience to the next level:

  • Read aloud: Adjust your lighting without needing to hold or even look at your device by letting Photone read the measurement values out loud!
  • Latching Hold Mode: Easily lock a measurement and jot down notes at the same time.

Supporting Our Development

Many of you have asked how you can help support Photone’s ongoing development—thank you! ❤️ Upgrading to Pro is now a great way to contribute while unlocking additional functionality.

We’ve already come a long way, but we’re not stopping here! With the support of our Pro users, we’ll continue building epic features for the Photone community.

What Happens to Beta Users?

Good news: you won’t lose any features. Not now, and not in future updates as long as you don’t delete your app data e.g. by reinstalling.

Also: The base version of Photone will always remain free of charge and free of ads for all existing and all new users ☘️

We’re incredibly grateful for your support and can’t wait to see how Photone helps you grow your best plants yet. Happy measuring!
