Leave a Review Toolbox PRO
False Advertising
This app does not have a decibel meter. I had the regular version and paid to unlock everything but the decibel meter didn’t show up. Thinking maybe I misread the information about the app and made a mistake I thought the PRO version would have it. Reading up it said it did. I purchased the app and no decibel meter. I wrote the company and got no response. I’m very put out.
Edit: about a week after I wrote this review they removed the decibel meet from their blurb about the app; however, as that was a huge reason for my having purchased the app, twice technically, I am still very unhappy. They have never responded to my emails and I am writing it off as a loss. Very unhappy.Show lessRioJade
Where is the db meter?
I've used the app in the past. Works excellently. Added it back to my new iphone and the db meter is missing. Was it removed from the toolbox?mGecko
Jack of all trades, master of none.
Has a lot of functions, but I’m not sure it will become my “go-to” app. It does many things your iPhone does already, so you’re likely to ignore the timers (because Siri is so convenient for that) or the flashlight (because we’re accustomed to sliding up for that). Additionally, those functions which require sounds to be generated will only do so if your phone is not in silent mode (where native iOS alarms will conveniently override this).
Some instruments are easy to accidentally calibrate without realizing. It might be nicer to have calibration functions more out of the way, just as the resetting to defaults is hidden in the instrument’s settings menu.
Of all the great things about the metronome (ability to store a list of tempos, time signatures, audible subdivisions, Italian labels on the dial), it is a travesty that you can’t dial in a tempo by ear without a cacophonous mess (The metronome audibly resets to beat one continuously as the dial is moved while playing). I don’t know of any musicians who wouldn’t require the ability to adjust a metronome while it is playing.
Lastly, the instruments which allow measurements to be graphed would be more useful if labels for units of measurement were included on the graph (though I have not yet checked to see if exported data files include labels).Show lessteger33
Seismic activity data
I may not have figured the app out - but it seems that the seismic app doesn’t run ‘in background’ or when the screen is locked, for example, at night. I was hoping to record information over night but it stopped recording soon after I set it down. Am I doing something wrong?LearDog
New business model?
I think it is not right when you remove features from the app people already paid for. I know you want to sell you other apps, but this is just stealing. And they didn’t even bother to answer my question: Why the Decibel feature has been removed??? Expect adequate marketing.Pit-er
Pretty sleazy tactic
As others have pointed out, the decibel meter has been removed from the pro version. Looking at the version history, there was NO mention of its removal in the release notes. The last reference was to CHANGES to the decibel meter, indicating it was still part of the app.
I guess now it’s turned up again as a separate paid-for app. Do developers really think people will invest MORE money in their apps after a move like that?

Feel tricked into buying the pro version
I paid for the pro Version to get an unlocked decibel meter. It turns out that the decibel meter wasn’t even available in a provision. how can the decibel meter be in the free version and not be in the provision .
On top of that the decibel meter has features that says needs to be unlocked buy buying pro to use?????
Other than that its a 5 star app, but -2stars for tricking me.Show lesstop snp
Snake oil
Bought this for the deciblemeter, even shows it in the preview , but where is it ? Paid for this app specifically for that and it is not in the app. Not impressed.MikeyGee360
Super Useful
Great app and still regularly updated with awesome stuff. Well worth the money.
Update:
This is one of the first apps I got on my iPhone 4. I still use it regularly on my 7+. Thanks devs.jim303
There is NO dB measurement tool
This App has been rated ONE STAR. They advertise this App as having a dB measurement tool as part of the toolset - a very handy audio tool. Despite the App stating that the dB measurement tool is part of the toolset, it is NOT.
Avoid purchasing this App if you WANT the dB measurement tool. I suspect that the developers discovered that the dB tool was useful for Home Cinema Enthusiasts and developed the tool into a separate App, and at a higher cost.
It's a poor state of affairs when developers do this to purchasers. Apple should remove this App from the App Store until either the App information is updated or the dB measurement tool is restored.
Again, beware if you are purchasing this APP for the dB tool. The developers have seemingly REMOVED this tool from the APP but are STILL advertising it as being part of the toolset.
Bad form. The other tools are mainly gimmicks, some of which you already have in your iPhone as standard.Show lessxcalibrate
