Good concept though. ### 4/5 — Magnifique *2024-07-15, version 1.1* Magnifique l'application à un différentiel de deux décibels avec mon sonomètre. C'est dommage qu'il n'y ait pas d'étalonnage car ça serait une super application. Et elle est gratuite ### 3/5 — You wrote Disturbing wrong. *2023-11-07, version 1.1* You wrote disturbing wrong. ### 2/5 — Wildly Incorrect *2023-10-21, version 1.1* No iPhone decibel reader is going to be that accurate, but this is absurdly wrong. Speaking in a soft voice registers as a “dangerous” reading. ### 3/5 — Word spelled wrong on meter *2023-08-24, version 1.1* Distrubing Should be… Disturbing ### 4/5 — Bg de las La gente que me da odio *2023-07-03, version 1.1* La verdad es la única manera que ### 4/5 — Aaron *2023-06-25, version 1.1* Works well ### 3/5 — Didn’t do it for me. *2023-06-04, version 1.1* Works as described, but I wanted to measure higher, 130+Db, and review various levels. Couldn’t see how to alter maximum levels, or preview/save instances. But that was just my requirements - otherwise works as described. ### 4/5 — Great app *2023-03-28, version 1.1* A very simple, clean app. Just one point on spelling - it shout be “disturbing” and not “distrubing” as displayed. ### 4/5 — Gut *2022-11-23* Leider nicht in Deutsch. Not in german language. 😑 ### 5/5 — Office work *2022-08-31, version 1.1* I am an NP and this gadget is exactly what I need to tell the staff to the noise level professional. Great app. ### 2/5 — 南小鸟 *2022-07-08, version 1.1* 一点也不好用kmmkkkkmm ### 5/5 — Works well *2022-04-29, version 1.1* My wife has been kept up by the sound our fan makes. I got this db meter to measure the noise that it generates-54 db. I saw another fan on Amazon which claims to not put out more than 32 db; I think I found her Mother’s Day Present! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-05-09, version 1.1* Developers clearly don’t care about this app anymore. You cannot use this app while playing audio at the same time. So the app is useless to me and many others who require it for this reason. Above all, after being notified 5 years ago, they have still not even bothered to correct the spelling of disturbing. And I think that says quite enough about the app itself. Long forgotten about and abandoned. ### 1/5 — Questionable security *2025-10-31, version 1.1* Why, when I start this up, would it ask to paste the contents of my clipboard? This was not something as a setting in earlier iOS so I think this is a bad sign for security and will definitely aboid this app ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-02-05, version 1.1* It doesn’t work half the time ### 1/5 — No Star for No Workie *2024-07-04, version 1.1* No Star for No Workie ### 1/5 — Not working all of a sudden *2024-06-14, version 1.1* Not working all of a sudden ### 1/5 — Very inaccurate *2024-04-27, version 1.1* This app shows about 20dB higher than a sound meter. ### 1/5 — Emotional damage *2023-10-08, version 1.1* It’s not accurate ### 1/5 — Kopiert aus der Zwischenablage *2022-01-21* Kopiert aus der Zwischenablage ohne Erlaubnis ### 1/5 — Cuts off others apps your trying to find decibel readings on *2021-12-12, version 1.1* Yes ### 1/5 — Not real measurement. *2021-11-21, version 1.1* It’s not showing the real measurement. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great free app *2026-05-12, version 1.1* Does exactly what it says it will do, without charging outrageous subscription fees that the “premium” app try to do! Get this for free instead! ### 5/5 — 啊啊啊啊 *2026-02-28, version 1.1* 啊啊啊啊 ### 5/5 — Great job *2026-02-21, version 1.1* Just what I needed ### 5/5 — Nice *2024-07-01, version 1.1* it is helpful because it shows the sound what it sounds like! ### 5/5 — I wish I had this forty years ago *2023-10-06, version 1.1* Being old now, I am experiencing degraded hearing. If I had this app years ago, I might have made adjustments to the sound levels I was exposed to. A young persons hearing is a beautiful thing and should be preserved. Loud noise exposure degrades one’s hearing and robs you of the more delicate pleasures of sound. ### 5/5 — Free *2023-06-12, version 1.1* Not a ripoff like the other app trying to get you to pay annual fee. This one works great and is free! ### 5/5 — This is good *2023-04-29, version 1.1* I give this. A 5 i need it for a science experiment ### 5/5 — Mr. JKS *2023-04-17* The app is simple and measures the decibels quickly. It compares with a scale and gives a readout for analysis. ### 5/5 — OSHA sound 8hwl *2023-04-13, version 1.1* Max 85 dB Office optimal @ 65 dB :) ### 5/5 — Not working. *2023-01-20, version 1.1* Not sure if this is just a bait and switch to get you to click on their ads for their affiliate links, but the only thing that works on this app is the link to buy products on the web. I get no reading at all, even holding it right against my speaker. iPhone 13 Pro. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
