Features for a Green Light App

I created an app for using your phone as a green light years ago. Has over 20,000 downloads and is the highest rated app in the hydroponics realm on the Play Store. Free, no ads, and just works. Very simple. Anyway, I wanted to create a 'pro' version. The only thing I can think of to make it something more than the free version is a brightness and was looking for suggestions to make it actually 'worth' something... at least something more than the free version. Any suggestions?

Maybe let folks add a banner or rolling message that shows on the screen.

How much royalties am I receiving for input on the PRO version?

You can just allow some free advertisers ads so you can offer pro to increase brightness and remove ads.

Simple and effective.

I will be an advertiser for you. Not joking.

just gonna throw this out there... its really easy to just adjust the brightness of my screen thru a widget. I do it 10x a day. so personally I don't see the value in adding it to the app, but maybe your users do.

here's an idea I've wanted to do but never have time for. since you already have the user base and have an app out there heres my input for free.

take the research migro already did with converting lux to ppfd. I dont have the formula handy, but you can find it if you search. then basically make a lux app that does the conversion to PPFD for you. it wouldn't be perfect but its better than nothing and saves us all a step vs using a lux app and doing math by hand. you could even have inputs for light type and color temp and make adjustments from there. I would gladly pay a few $ for those features.

I only have minimal experience w Android apps but I already looked into the APIs for measuring light and there's tons of tutorials u could use to start from. then I'm sure you can get the conversion working once u have the lux # as input.

Great suggestions. I especially like your suggestion, @ilovereggae. @Wizzlebiz also not a bad idea! In the case of the lux converter, I guess it would be a multi-tool. Which makes me think maybe I can add more 'tools' instead of trying to think of something to make the green light more useful.

And thank you all!
