Don’t waste your money
I bought sound meter and other Faber tools a few years ago and now they don’t work. They want me to buy the latest version that works with the newt OS. Dirty business right there.Pmdurrett

Hi, Pmdurrett. We're sorry that we cannot offer free product upgrades forever, though we're pleased that you have had years of use with our earlier products. You are welcome to continue to use those products indefinitely on compatible versions of iOS (they certainly still work as well as ever on compatible versions of iOS). We would appreciate it if you would review the app in question: SoundMeter X. Thank you.Fantastic, but too pricey.
This app is excellent! It does everything it says, and it does those things well. It would easily be 5 stars… but for the fact that the majority of the app’s features are locked behind an outrageously expensive paywall.
$100 is the price to enjoy full utility from this otherwise superb audio metering app. Should you decide that a fully featured, professional app like this is necessary for your work/passion and worth the price you better be right because you’re going to owe another $100+ in 12 months. That’s right, for all that $ you don’t actually own anything.
Even worse, I suspect (but don’t truly know) that, should your subscription lapse, you‘ll be locked out of saved data that you’d already paid over $100 to create.
Despite all of my complaints, I admit that I’ve been subscribed to the ~$20/yearly basic+ version of this app for longer than I’d care to admit.
That I don’t plan to cancel should say it all. 😕

Hello H0LLYW00D99, Thank you for taking your time to share your thoughts regarding SoundMeter X. We're pleased to know that you appreciate the quality of the app. If your concern is with ownership, you may be happy to know that we do offer perpetual license versions of SoundMeter as an alternative to the subscription-based SoundMeter X. If you need to always keep the app up to date with the newest features and tools, SoundMeter X may still be your best option. With respect to your saved data, you will continue to have access to those files in SoundMeter X, even without a current subscription (remember to first transfer them to another device or to the cloud if you choose to delete the app from your device). If you have further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us directly.Unsubscribe
How the hell do I unsubscribe?BMC4130
Developer Response
You can unsubscribe by tapping on the Tool Sets tab in SoundMeter X and then tapping the button labeled Manage Subscriptions. Or, you can go directly to the App Store app and access your account and manage subscription from there. If you have any other questions or concerns, you are welcome to contact us directly.From expensive to subscription
I purchased this app for $150+ a few years back. Now, most of the features are non-usable without a subscription. Completely uncalled for. Had I known then what I know now, I wouldn’t have given them the money. Extremely displeased.System24
Developer Response
Hello System24, SoundMeter X is a separate app from what you purchased previously. Any of our legacy apps that you purchased can still be used indefinitely on compatible versions of iOS. The last update to our legacy apps officially supported iOS 11, but we're not aware of any issues on iOS 12. If you have any other questions or concerns, you are welcome to contact us directly.Awesome app, but now unstable
I’ve used this app off and on when my SLM isn’t with me. But the latest rev is crashing with iOS 12.1, requiring uninstalling and reinstalling to get it to work.Shift focus
The app almost made me last for work
I am really surprised this app doesn’t automatically shut off after an hour or so after use. Anyways when it’s on, your speakers don’t work so it essentially shut off my alarm for work at 5am. The reason I got this application was for baby sound monitoring. You think a tired and working parent will always remember to shut this off for much later alarms?Show lessfairchildbria
Click bait
All functions except basic sound meter require subscriptions up to $179 for one year.
Not even a way to reset readings in basic sound meter.L a r r y i T u n e s
Developer Response
Hi, We'd like to note that SoundMeter X subscriptions start at $1 per month or $9 per year. Our top-tier subscription includes access to all professional measurement and analysis functions in SignalScope X. In order to reset the meter's readings, you can simply restart it.
