And if they work well, wich one do y’all recommend? (App Store iPhone)

Yes. I have Pocket Light Meter by Nuwaste Studios (most used). Lightmate is comparable. The app Lightme should be very good but I find it very confusing and grab to Pocket Light Meter 9 times out of 10.Point the iphone camera at something 18% grey (grass, tiles or asphalt) in the shade and consider the rest as sunny 16 (clouds entering, +1, sun brighter -1, etc).

Just use your lightmeter and app simultaniously at home fooling around and you’ll quickly learn when it needs adjustment and with what it is most reliable.

When I forget my Sekonic at home, I always have the Light Meter Tools app on my Android phone. It has never let me down, but it is paid. I haven’t used it in difficult lighting conditions, but it measures simple light well enough to rely on it.

I’ve found Lightmate to work great.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.
