Closed window
Tap Fix value and, within three seconds, hold the top of the screen against the closed glass, facing the light. The display goes black while the sensor samples, then a signal tells you it is done.

How dark is your window tint?
Take one reading with the window up and one with it down. Tint Meter compares them and shows how much light gets through: a VLT percentage, a tint level and the range the real value is likely in. It uses the light sensor on Android and the front camera on iPhone.

Android & iPhone
Precision in transparency. Clarity in measurement.
Onboarding, live sensor, and results — the full path on one screen.
How it works
Two light readings. One VLT number.
The app compares light through the glass with light in the open. Find the light sensor — usually at the top of the screen — and hold the phone facing the light. On Android, that's the ambient light sensor. On iPhone, it's the front camera. Keep it still and aimed the same way for both readings.
2
Window down
Lower the window, keep the phone in the same place, and fix a second value. Same distance, same aim — that pairing is what turns two lux readings into VLT.
3
Read, save, or share
You get light transparency, tint level, and an accuracy band. Save it on the phone with a name such as “BMW — front left”, or share a branded card.
What’s in the app
Built for a quick check, not a lab bench.
Everything below ships today. History never leaves the device. Sharing only happens when you tap Share.
Find the sensor
The light sensor is usually at the top of the screen. Hold the phone facing the light — the same way for both readings — to get a usable estimate. On Android it reads the ambient light sensor; on iPhone it reads the front camera.
VLT and tint level
See how much light gets through, plus a tint percentage, on a 10–100% scale matched to the result graphic.
Accuracy range
Each reading shows High, Medium, or Low accuracy and a percentage band, and says plainly when something limited it — too dark, the light shifted, or the sensor reported too little to judge steadiness.
Low-light warning
If ambient light is too weak for a usable estimate, the app tells you to face a brighter source and try again.
Named history
Save readings locally with a title and window chips (front, rear, windshield). Review, share, or delete them later. Nothing is uploaded to HighApps.
Share cards
Export a branded result image and a link to the app through your phone’s share sheet — WhatsApp, mail, or wherever you send it.
Works offline for the meter
The measuring runs on the phone: an ambient light sensor on Android, camera frames read and discarded in memory on iPhone. Internet is used for ads, analytics and crash reports, and for this policy page.
Be straight about it
An estimate. Not a certified tint meter.
Phone light sensors and cameras vary by device and placement. Lighting, angle, and how still you hold the phone all move the number. Use it as a quick check, not as a replacement for the calibrated meter a tint shop or an inspector uses.

“Pretty accurate if done right. Remember to do it twice, once with the window up and once with the window down.”
Do not use Tint Meter for legal, regulatory, law-enforcement, insurance, or professional certification. For official window-tint compliance, use a calibrated meter.
On Android it needs a working ambient light sensor. On iPhone it needs camera access, because there is no light sensor an app may read — the frames are read for brightness and discarded, and nothing is photographed or stored. Free on Google Play and the App Store, supported by ads.
- No account No name, email, or sign-in. Open the app and measure.
- No location, contacts, or photo library On Android the meter uses the light sensor and asks for no camera access at all. On iPhone it asks for the camera, because that is the only way to read light there, and shows Apple’s tracking prompt, which only decides whether ads are personalised. History you type stays in the app’s private storage.
- Ads, used plainly Banners on home and result screens. A full-screen ad only when you leave a finished reading, at most two per session and a minute apart, never during Fix value or black-screen sampling. Served by Google AdMob. Consent where Google requires it.
- Languages that match the product English, Russian, Armenian, Spanish and French, the same five the app ships with.
