I dont own a light meter, but I downloaded an app. I took a quick screenshot to see if this reader looked accurate for those who had a good idea of exposure times. (Of course i would then have to account for reciprocity)
Does this light meter reading seem accurate?

It's accurate: the War is indeed over.
(Joke aside, I have that app and it usually is pretty accurate)

It could be accurate - there is no way to know without having something reliable to compare it with.
Go outside during the day and see how it reads in comparison to what Sunny 16 would indicate.

That will give you a decent idea of how it performs in higher lighting situations.
By the way, your question is really how accurate the app is on your phone - the phone plays a big part.
