### 5/5 — Simple but it works

*2025-01-04, version 1.5.5*

Easy to use, simple and it works. 
The only way to make it better would be to add a way to choose where to save the csv files. 
I don’t think I would pay for an app like this, it would need to have built in analytics and scheduling. But for a free app can’t ask for anything better.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-04-25, version 1.5.2*

Thank you for the app! I am impressed with the micro adjustments from 0 to 50 and 0 to -50! It’s helpful when you want to hear loud sounds or quiet/faint sounds!

### 4/5 — Where is the cvs file saved?

*2022-08-07*

Can’t find the saved file.

### 3/5 — Mic calibration

*2021-01-23*

How do I calibrate the microphone?  When I click the setting it just gives me a plus or minus adjustment.  I don’t know how to use it.

**Developer response:** The microphone on apple devices is quite accurate and unless you need a very precise measurement, you don't need to modify that setting. In any case to perform the calibration it would be necessary to make a comparison with a professional decibel meter. You can adjust the measurement in real time or save a csv file for later comparison.

### 5/5 — Yup, works.

*2020-12-13*

Simple, but does as intended.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your rating and comment

### 1/5 — Doesn’t try to access the microphone

*2020-10-16*

How can it work?

**Developer response:** Hello, you can contact us to help you solve the problem you may have. The app only requires the microphone access permission to work, maybe that's your problem?
