With our user-obsessed mentality, we shall continue to leverage and level up our standard features and advance ones based on users' needs. ### 2/5 — Moyen *2025-06-11* Manque d’explications pour son utilisation **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. You can see the "Glossary" or "Ask for help" in the "Settings Tab" ### 2/5 — Great app, landscape still broken *2024-10-29, version 9.9.0* The ‘free’ version allows you to rotate your iPad 90 degrees and work in landscape mode. This paid “Pro” version used to, but no longer. This worked before. For the past 2 years, all updates have left out this fix. No response from the developers. Strange. ### 2/5 — Data on old phone won’t transfer to new phone *2024-09-03, version 9.8.0* I have been using Decibel x Pro for 4 years to record industrial noise in neighborhoods. Recently purchased a new iPhone 15 to replace iPhone 12. The data from Decibel x Pro will not transfer; just the event names transfer, but no graphs. Have contacted creator of the App 3 times, and no response. Disappointed. Apple care was no help; said it is an unsupported app. Please advise. And be aware. The response I received did NOT solve the problem. Still no sound and no graphs have transferred. I already had the iCloud sync and audio on. Do you have any other suggestions? ### 2/5 — Data on old phone won’t transfer to new phone *2024-08-28* I have been using Decibel x Pro for 4 years to record industrial noise in neighborhoods.

Do you have any other suggestions? **Developer response:** Hello, 12416abc! Thanks for your response. We appreciate the useful information you provide. Can you try this: Open Apps/ Settings/ iCloud sync/ Include Audio - (On). The data will be transferred from the old device to the new one. ### 3/5 — Good, but missing a feature *2024-08-09, version 9.8.0* Absolutely amazing app, deducted 2 stars because you can’t rotate on iPhone, but you can on android. ### 3/5 — FFT is great but I wish I could view it after saving *2024-06-05, version 9.7.0* For me, the app is all about viewing the FFT. However, as soon as it’s off the screen, it’s impossible to pull back up. It would be really great to have more functionality here, for example, if there was a higher resolution post-processed FFT in the recording. ### 5/5 — Does the job *2024-04-12, version 9.7.0* This app performs it’s intended function very well. It is worth the price. What more can one say. ### 5/5 — Suoni *2024-03-29, version 9.7.0* Ottima ### 5/5 — Great, accurate app *2024-03-21, version 9.7.0* I use this app all the time and have found it accurate and stable. Thanks to the team! ### 5/5 — Super *2024-01-27* Super **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are happy that you like our App! ### 5/5 — Show *2024-01-07* Aplicativo pratico é direito ao ponto mostra o que precisa **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are happy that you like our App! ### 5/5 — Highly recommended. *2023-11-17, version 9.7.0* can’t comment on its accuracy but it gives me an idea on how loudly I’m playing my music ( so I don’t go death ) and when I switch from one source to another to keep volume the same . I have also lately been auditioning speakers, amplifiers so can keep the levels the same so as not to give one an advantage over the over . I also made a note two years ago of the dB reading that I was comfortable listening at so as to see if I need to turn it up louder to get the same affect, to keep an eye on my hearing. ### 5/5 — Please fix 9.7.0 doesn’t work *2023-10-01* Hi, I love this app. but after update to 9.7.0 it doesn’t work on iPad Pro 11.0 (WiFi+Cellular) (iPad8,4) iOS 12.4.1, please fix it. Thank you. ### 4/5 — Decent app *2023-08-21, version 9.6.2* The app is fairly straightforward and accurate, it’d be nice for it to save the settings that way you don’t have to open and select specific settings every time you open the app. I work in a loud environment and would like to use widgets on my iPhone so I can see how loud the workplace is at a quick glance. Also, when I rotate my phone the app doesn’t rotate anymore. Not sure what that’s about but I’d like a fix. Especially, being I paid for the app. Once those are updated I’ll change to a 5 star. ### 5/5 — ottima *2023-06-30, version 9.6.2* app ottima ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What happened? *2025-06-29, version 9.9.1* I purchased the pro version some time ago and everything was good. Now after this update some important features have been made part of a subscription such as FFT size 8192 and weighting C. Without those this app is useless! You should not move features I already paid for into a subscription. Add something new but don’t steal features I already paid for. I want them back otherwise refund my money. ### 1/5 — Stop asking for a rating *2025-06-19, version 9.9.0* Stop asking for a rating ### 1/5 — what happened to landscape?? *2024-03-14, version 9.7.0* i loved this app until landscape mode stopped happening and i cannot seem to get any customer support.. maybe one star will get some attention.. ### 1/5 — I want my money back! *2023-10-21, version 9.7.0* The app doesn't support landscape mode nor external microphones. I want my money back! ### 1/5 — Crashes all the time *2021-05-30, version 9.3.1* Very hard to view data and transfer out data. Plus crashes every time you want to view your data ### 1/5 — Cannot use earbuds *2021-03-22, version 9.2.0* The app does not feed into my earphones, earbuds or headphones. Just from my phone! I kindly ask developers to respond. It seems odd. ### 1/5 — Cannot play recorded audio *2020-05-15, version 8.2.0* I purchased this app under the assumption that I will be able to play the recorded audio files. However, that is not possible on this app. I went to play a recorded audio file and all I see is an alert that reads “Audio file cannot be played.” I am very disappointed as this app is $15.99. Someone needs to fix this ASAP. ### 1/5 — Stop asking *2020-04-19, version 8.1.3* I paid so stop asking for reviews ### 1/5 — Complete crashed *2020-04-08, version 8.1.3* Completely crashed at the WORST time-after recording. The recording couldn’t be repeated. Lost everything. Wish I did NOT PURCHASE ### 1/5 — Version 8.1.3 does not install on IOS 9.6.5 *2020-01-02, version 8.1.1* -although it claims to. Shame, since it's a great app /use for this ancient iPad in studio -hopefully a temporary fault.! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — G *2026-07-06* Excellent **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your reviews with us. Your reviews are our motivation to further improve Decibel X. ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-05-22, version 9.9.5* It’s helpful for analyzing a stereo setup until the microphone limitations kick in. You’d make make ton$ with a good microphone. ### 5/5 — It works well *2026-03-08, version 9.9.4* I use this for both professional and personal projects. It’s fairly accurate as far as I can tell. ### 5/5 — This is the app! *2026-03-01, version 9.9.4* Don’t bother with anything else. I can’t think of anything else you would want in a decibel meter. ### 5/5 — www.ZERUBARIEL.com *2025-12-08, version 9.9.4* www.ZERUBARIEL.com ### 5/5 — Best *2025-10-27, version 9.9.4* Handy tool for seeing where sound is. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-06-29, version 9.9.1* Thank you for fixing the landscape mode!! Great app! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-03-10, version 9.9.0* Very good meet all standart ### 5/5 — First rate *2025-02-21, version 9.9.0* All you can ask for and looks great ### 5/5 — Works well! *2024-10-25, version 9.9.0* I have it on my iPhone and iPad.
