  • Simple and Supported. To another 9years

    Great app. Simple but dose all you need.
  • Great app - but how to delete accumulated charts.

    Paid for the Chard Recording option but can’t find how to delete old charts. They just stay they with the newest on top.

    Thank you for purchasing the strip chart feature. When you swipe over a chart (left to right) it will reveal a delete button. You may also tap on the pile of charts to see all of them.
  • Just a decibel meter. Perfect!

    All I wanted was a decibel meter. And that’s it.
    It works without any advertising pop ups. Great simple tool.
  • Elegant and Simple

    I’ve used this app for years, and have found it quite useful, without distracting bells and whistles. I’ve also corresponded with the developer, and found that the weighting (which is not evident) is broadband.

    Some of the features of a lab meter would be nice to have, like switchable A- or C-weighting, or averaging vs instantaneous readings. But the app is quick and easy as it is, and ads do not intrude.

  • Fails at high end

    At a NASCAR race at Dover it registered 90 when the green flag dropped. We were at the end of the straightaway just before turn 1. The cars came roaring; we were less than 25 meters from the track and the decibel level supposedly only increased to 95. If you’ve ever been that close to a start or restart you know the decibel level is well over a hundred. With head phones off and screaming in your neighbor’s face you cannot hear a word they are screaming!

    Dear dmcc339, the current version of the app displays dB(A) and has largely improved accuracy and range. I hope it works better for you. -david
  • Simple, effective

    Great little app
  • Awesome

    Must have
  • Very Good.

    It could do with peak / min level needles with some options on their damping to get the 5th star. Option to combine a photo is good. That would be great if it auto rotated the photo to respect the rotation of the device e.g. When using the phone "mic upwards"
  • Version 2.1 crashes when you try to save image

    I like the idea of taking a photo of the volume you are measuring.... but it crashes the app so it can't save the image. The solution until it's fixed is to take a screenshot. I'll give it a 5 star rating once that is fixed.

    Developer Response

    The crash is fixed in 2.1.1. Thank you for reporting!
  • App blows

    This app doesn't work I got this for my class project and I haven't done anything to my phone I haven't dropped it. This app doesn't work at all
