Who uses a par app?

I see that there are some par lighting apps, and I'd like to know if anyone has any recommendations on these. Thanks!

I've seen no par apps. Do you have a link.

On a thread about Frogspawn issues someone mentioned it. They seemed to have had decent experience working with it too. I was having trouble finding it though, which is why I just posted this. I type "par light meter" into Google play, and all sorts of things pop up.

I dont think they mean Par(or they are mistaken) and likely mean Lux. Lux is intensity, like how much calcium. Par reads how light much is good for plants and corals.
Most are junk. I tested 16. 2 of them gave me almost correct readings.

I thought it was too good to be true. It would be great though...
