Sorry for taking so long to get back to you- I lost track of threads.
For the beeCam lightmeter app for Android. All I really do is:
1) open it (obviously)
2) press "start"
3) put my phone camera in the area that I want to measure (although I sometimes do a bit of tilting around to make sure I get a more "rounded" reading- depending on the angle that you are holding your phone, you may not get as accurate of a reading")
4) look at the "lux" levels
5) divide the # of lux by 10 to get an approximate footcandle reading
*I don't really play with the settings, but that is how I measure all of my lights and it has worked out for me so far. Although, I think that it "caps" at approximately 40,000 lux ~4000 footcandles.
