  • Cool!

    Works exactly as described. Would make a few alterations;
    -Screen flips when held with mic in the upright position
    -Add a peak meter needle for sound spikes
    -In appropriate font add some details to the body of the "unit", such as authors name, refresh rate, or other useful info.
    -Perhaps an option to read in digital with a variable refresh rate?

  • Pretty good

    I agree with the other reviewers that the interface could use a little more, but on the whole it seems to be fairly accurate. I was testing it while mixing at church. A fast response would be nice. Also an "A" and "C" weighting switch would be very helpful since the mic picks up the frequencies different from your ears. (ie. A Bass guitar might have an absolute sound pressure of 85db but your ears would hear it at 75db). But all in all, I like it and appreciate that it's free!

  • Fantasticly Simple

    Clear simple UI and does exactly as it says. If there was one update to recommend it would be a peak/max db indicator. Just a red needle that holds on peak sound, and a re-set button.
  • Great app!!

    If you indicate some sample levels then it might be much much better.
  • Cool App- nice job

    Really clean and appears to respond to like a professional sound meter. Having experience with audio mixing and recording this is a great app.
    Would like to see the empty space below meter with example of sound threshold for human ears. Accuracy?? - well I have to check on that. I am sure it is close enough

    Looking forward to the upgrade!!!

  • Excellent, handy app

    Excellent app. Love the clutter-free display! The only way to make it better would be an info icon that you click that shows up some common sounds and their dB reading. Great work!
  • WYSIWYG

    I have no way to test it's accuracy, but it's a really useful tool to have, especially if you are a musician or audio engineer. Thanks very much!
  • Very neat and clean.

    Having done physics for A Levels and understanding what a decibel is this app works perfectly well! Very nice clean simple layout. Very nice freebie.
  • Works well.

    I like this app. It came in very handy when a complaint was made about noise levels outside a kids' disco, and it was so easy to show a passing car made more noise.
  • As advertised.

    Simple. Does the job.
