My Polaroid now + inaccurate exposure

[snownight]

I bought the Polaroid now+ and I ended up with an extremely bad experience.
I will put up photos to show you what is going on. On the same day, time and scene. Shot both Polaroid and Fuji. In a low light area I opened the Polaroid app for metering and got the same result of dark photos.
It may be my problem, but I asked my friend,she owns a 680 and every time she shoots the exposure is accurate. She said her friend have a Polaroid now camera and the same scene with the flash on would get an inaccurately exposed photo.
I hope you can give me some advice and experience. Thanks!

On my screen, the pictures that you show look fine...?

Fuji's exposure is normal. Polaroid now + exposure is extremely inaccurate, I think it has a bad metering system

The collection of 5 photos shown in one shot all look fine! The single shot (...2652.jpg does look a bit underexposed)

From that result I would not conclude the ,meter is to blame.

The 5 collection photos are Fuji, it is very accurate exposure and beautiful photos.
The camera and photos I said the problem is Polaroid now + series（now now+ go）

Well then, one underexposed shot out of three is still not an indication of a general problem. (It would have been nice if you had explained what you posted...somhow we were suppose to simply know the 5 were shot with Fuji?!)

Thank you all for your replies. My English is not very good.
I was also metering the shots according to the Fuji instax experience when I was using Polaroid. But the Polaroid metering is very bad.
I posted the results of other people's tests in #3 and still have problems with the now and go series metering system. Will get an underexposed photo

I really don't see anything wrong with the exposures from my end...

You should look at them with your eyes instead...

OP: I would take the Polaroid back to the dealer and trade in for one you will be happy with.

I'm not sure if it's my use or the camera's metering that's the problem. Do you have some suggestions or analysis?

Could you post a few more examples? I've had good luck floating the developing film on a bowl of hot water.

They look just like Polaroid photos to me. I even tried it w/ my eyes, same thing. I was never able to get more than one or two out of a pack of Polaroids to look decent, so you're doing better than I ever did.

I find that the OneStep+ is better than the Now+, I have bad results with the autofocus, prefer the option to manually use the closeup or not.

Flash will make most photos look funny. I never use one, natural or room lighting all the time. You might want to send the camera back if you think the metering is off, or use a pack of film to make test exposures and keep notes to determine where your camera's metering needs to be changed.

One note is that the polaroid film seems to have less dynamic range than the Fuji. That being said I tried a new batch with a new Now+ and was quite pleased with the results in full auto mode.
