No longer works

Used to be good. Supposed to work on IOS 12.4 - won’t run on IOS 12.5. Shame

Easy simple big meter

Easy simple big meter. Goes up and down with change in volume, useful in gauging volume on any number of things. In my quiet living room meter reading sits/starts at about 40, not sure this is accurate starting point but I can gauge louder spikes in various sounds from there. Plus heck its free!

stopped Working

Last update ruined it !! Does not open anymore

Optimized for iOS 9.3?

Ummm… You all are aware that we are on like iOS 11 point something now right?

Works, but could be more accurate.

The A, B, and C weightings are off. I am convinced that the meter is off just a tad bit. I use this on my iPhone 5S with iOS 10. Today I'm writing on March 29, 2017. So yes, it works but with some little improvements this app would be phenomenal.

Used to be great. Not so much anymore

This used to be a great little app. The last update killed this thing. I get no audio and no indication of a signal. Found another app since you've killed this this off... Don't waste your time.

Testing

Thank you for fixing this. My friend told me about this app but when I went to try it out, my ISO was 9. Something. Today June 7 2016 I will try it.

Doesn't work with 5s

Works with 4s

Sound engineer

Nice meter, but sensitivity is way off. The A weighting is 3db low, the B weighting is 10db low, the C weighting is 15db low. I checked with a calibrated Simpson 886 sound level meter. It would be nice if a calibration feature was included so that it could be adjusted to agree with a professional meter. With a C noise level of 50db, this meter says it's 35db.

Working with iOS 9.3!!

It works beautifully! Use this for voice exercises to make sure I'm loud enough. Best program out there!

Worked only once ...

Then keeps showing "0db". Bye bye.

It's not working!

Ever since I purchased the pro version that this one is not working!

Used to be great

I loved this app when I found it. It worked perfectly. I have a youth group and obviously our music can get loud. To make sure it wouldn't get too loud I often used this app. It was a must have. However I tried recently to use this and the app will not work at all. I played with the setting and on weighting it displayed -2147. Needless to say it seems like this has a critical bug. Uninstalling for now to get a decibel meter that works. As soon as this is operational again I'd love to use it!

Rubbish

Does not work

Loved before; doesn't work with iPhone 6S

I loved this app and used it all the time. Walking around Disneyland, whenever something sounded too loud to me, I'd pull out the app and the volume would be exactly 85dB. I'm sure Disney had their sound engineers make it so; it was also a good test of the app. The readings always felt correct, and helped me decide when to wear earplugs at concerts, or if my kids were playing their music too loudly.

Unfortunately this app does not seem to work on the iPhone 6S, even after upgrading. I made sure it has access to my mic under my privacy settings. I'm blaming Apple, not the app developer, so I'm giving a 5* review for an app I've loved in the past, but I'm posting this so that others are aware of the problem.

It does still work with my iPod Touch, which is iOS Version 9.1.

Pointless download (Deleted)

Freezes every time using iOS 9.2.1 on iPhone 5s.
Can't give zero stars :-{

Crap

Downloaded the app, but non responsive, just registers as zero.

Stopped working

Not sure when it quit working. Worked fine on new iPod with iOS 9. Haven't used it for a while. Now, with iOS 9.2, or whatever the latest version of iOS is, it doesn't work at all.
