### 1/5 — Abstürze

*2025-01-20, version 8.1*

App stürzt häufiger ab als dass sie funktioniert. (IOS 18.1.1) Absolut nicht empfehlenswert.

### 1/5 — Immer noch kein Dark Modus

*2025-01-06, version 8.1*

Immer noch kein Dark Modus

### 5/5 — Easy to use, easy to read

*2021-09-24*

Simple and intuitive to use.  Simulates an old school meter with a needle moving up and down the dB scale.  Also has an adjustable offset so you can make this app read the same as your reference SoundMeter.

### 1/5 — absturz-alarm

*2020-03-27, version 7.2*

...länger nicht genutzt. nun stürzt die app ständig ab. ich kann sie nicht einmal mehr öffnen! schade!

### 4/5 — J’aime beaucoup mais

*2018-07-11*

Plante après un enregistrement ce qui est bien dommage.

### 1/5 — Nicht ipad4

*2016-08-10, version 5.4*

Läuft nicht mit Ipad4!

### 1/5 — Actualicen para iPad

*2016-05-21, version 5.4*

Sería productivo que se pudiera utilizar con el iPad ya que si trabajas en sonido y manejas mesas por wifi es más cómodo llevar el iPad solo,y si lo haceis compatible con IOS 9.3.2 para trabajar en multiventana sería estupendo

### 5/5 — Volle 5 Sterne

*2016-01-24, version 5.4*

Meine erste App und nach wie vor eine der Besten! Tut exakt das was sie soll und das jederzeit zuverlässig!

### 5/5 — Great Tool

*2015-09-13*

The features for this handy tool are indispensable. Have you been to places which are simply too loud? A restaurant, job, school, church? Or anywhere you are curious as to what the sound or noise levels are. This app has you covered. In addition to telling you what the sound level is, this app record the moment by moment sound level and crates a graph, which can be emailed to yourself

### 5/5 — Hilfreiche App(s)

*2015-08-16, version 5.3*

Ich habe das ganze Bundle von Mess- und Ton Generator Apps. Und habe damit meine Raumakustik gut nachvollziehen und verbessern können.
Bin natürlich kein Tontechniker. Aber wenn man bedenkt, dass man allein mit einem iPhone bewaffnet zu sehr aussagekräftigen Ergebnissen kommen kann: Hammer! Danke für die coolen Apps!
