Don't waste your money on it. The couple of 5 stars rating had to be written by the developer and his or her family. This app is a scam that doesn't do what promised. Safe you money & time by staying away. ### 4/5 — Like it so far *2012-09-14* Just downloaded and checked it out. The pdf report feature is nice along with all the data you can capture about each exposure assessment. Have no idea how the calibration feature works. ### 4/5 — So practical and helpful *2012-09-05* I found this app really easy to use and accurate. No sure what honest_feedback was on about but I found the simplicity of the app really helpful in my role as a site project manager. Highly recommend it especially for any residential sight projects! Also love the amount of detail you can enter and the email functionality, makes it easy to track and record back in the office. ### 4/5 — Great App *2011-12-17* Easy to use app - nicely set out. Should be useful for initial dB readings & risk assessments on the fly. ### 5/5 — Great value & useful tool *2012-09-17* The construction industry globally is calling for increased evidence of noise abatement. This simple tool is a great help with this issue; all without the need for a paper based solution. Excellent use of technology and easy to use. Very happy with this app. ### 5/5 — Very useful application. Highly recommended. *2012-09-05* This is a highly useful application with a clean, easy to use interface. It's great that it uses the internal microphone on your iPhone (or iPad). I love being able to run a test and send a report to the team on the spot. Quick, smart and to the point. ### 5/5 — You hearing me *2012-09-05* Good app for judging best distance from screaming babies or leaf blowers ### 5/5 — Brilliant app - simple yet it works *2012-09-05* Purchased this app more out of curiosity than anything else but find myself using it all the time considering how good it is. It is simple to use (which is important in the construction industry!) and has got me out of many potentially costly situations where I may have been fined for using overly noisy plant and equipment on site. Hardly a scam... it's the real deal. ### 5/5 — Excellent APP *2012-07-23* Mirrors the requirement in the WorkCover, National Acoustics Laboratory Guide for Assessing Noise Generated by Plant and Equipment in Construction and Utilities. Provides easy to use measures to demonstrate noise monitoring. Excellent in its simplicity to use, and can only benefit construction workers longer term hearing prospects if implemented. Well done ### 5/5 — Da best !! *2012-06-29* Simple and saves me heaps of paperwork...nice job --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
