Does what it says. ### 4/5 — Useful *2026-05-10, version 1.2.3* I use this for monitor calibration checks when I don’t want to pull out all the sonar work stuff. It is useful in as much as the microphone on my phone is useful.

Sorry for asking for a review so early. If you liked the app, please consider amending your rating. If you feel the app could be better, please leave me feedback: decibel@aserykh.com ### 2/5 — No reset of values? *2024-02-18, version 1.2.3* Unless I am missing something there seems to absolutely no way of resetting high and low readings along with the average db which means it’s showing ‘all time’ readings and averages which is useless. When I move location I need to set all values to zero again and then start monitoring the new location with historical data being involved. Surely I’m missing something otherwise this app is totally useless? ### 3/5 — Great app *2026-01-03, version 1.2.3* Great for testing out for our events ### 3/5 — Accuracy in question. *2025-02-02, version 1.2.3* I have three Decibel Meter apps, including this one. In a quiet room, the other two read 30 dB. This one reads 40. If I make a loud noise, it’ll come back down to 30 but then rises back up to 40. The photo/video features are great. I just wish it was more accurate. ### 3/5 — DB *2024-10-16, version 1.2.3* Seems fine so far ### 3/5 — New *2024-10-04, version 1.2.3* Trying to unlock benefits ### 3/5 — Have to review to use app *2024-06-25, version 1.2.3* Have to review to use app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 好用 *2026-05-20, version 1.2.3* 好用 ### 5/5 — Noise app *2026-02-12, version 1.2.3* Effective tool works great I’m surprised thank you. ### 5/5 — Excellent app interface *2026-02-10, version 1.2.3* The Noise Guru dB Meter app offers a clean interface that nevertheless provides much useful info for studying noise exposure, including compass headings to help locate direction of noise sources. ### 5/5 — Super *2026-02-04, version 1.2.3* I like this app because it allows me to measure the loudness of sound. ### 5/5 — Have not tried yet *2025-12-28, version 1.2.3* I was asked to do a review and have not used it yet so I don’t know how it works ### 5/5 — Meh *2025-12-16, version 1.2.3* It does what it is supposed to do ### 5/5 — 好 *2025-12-14, version 1.2.3* 好的 ### 5/5 — Dope app *2025-11-13, version 1.2.3* Does just what I wanted it to do.
