## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Update

*2017-11-02*

Good Day, any idea when you might update the app so it works with ISO11?

### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2015-10-26*

As others have mentioned the metering is no way close to accurate.i never thought a finger snap would be 100db!!!

### 1/5 — Overly Sensitive

*2015-03-15*

As the title would indicate, this meter appears to be too sensitive.  A quiet room with only faint ambient sound (hardly audible) was being measured at 65 dB while a quiet whisper was measured at over 95 dB.  Pretty app, but utterly useless due to poor accuracy.

### 1/5 — Worse db meter app

*2014-11-01*

Real bad meter I have three others and this worse then I get a email from Apple that says they do not endorse this app and I might get a email to change my password for the App Store.

### 1/5 — You had 1 job...

*2014-08-18*

Readings are inaccurate.  Please accept this single star as a token of acknowledgment that this app.

### 1/5 — It's deaf

*2014-07-20*

The meter reading has nothing to do with the volume.  Yell at it and it doesn't register much change.  Put it in a quiet room - I brought into a recording studio - and make lots of noise with cymbals.  It doesn't spike- it's without merit.

### 1/5 — Reads too high

*2014-03-06*

Normal speech shouldn't be 80db... Making this app much less useful...

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2013-11-11*

I downloaded this App to use for fire alarm db readings. This app does not work at all. I was yelling into the speaker and it did not register at all. Buy a real db meter it's worth the money.

### 1/5 — Very bad but cool look

*2013-10-02*

According to this I breath at 50db and when I talk I am as loud as a jet

### 2/5 — Poor

*2013-06-18*

Needs weighting and response. This is critical to db testing.

## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love the double function

*2014-06-15*

Having two meters -- one for average levels and one for peak levels -- is a great feature!

### 4/5 — Good and simple

*2015-01-18*

Seems ok. No ads

### 4/5 — User error

*2014-08-22*

If it wasn't working you might try giving the app permission to use your mic. 
Otherwise worked great.

### 4/5 — 😐

*2013-07-21*

I couldn't get it below 40.  It seemed pretty sensitive though.

### 3/5 — Not Bad

*2014-01-29*

Worked pretty well, but capped at 100 dB

### 2/5 — It's super-funky lookin' But...

*2013-05-21*

What's the freaking weighting?! This is next to useless without that key piece of info....
