Likely AI Slop

I tested this application in a quiet room and it reported an unrealistic 45 dBA for the noise level, and worse, the displayed average was not even calculated correctly.

Can’t be right

In the ocean the noise is in the dangerous level. Can’t be right

좋음

데시벨이 잘돼고 좋아요

Response from developer

Très bonne application gratuite

Je cherchais une application pour une évaluation temporaire du bruit généré par un climatiseur. L’application a fait le job. Simple à utiliser et m’a bien dépanné

Response from developer

Merci beaucoup pour votre avis ! Nous sommes ravis que l’application vous ait aidé à évaluer le bruit de votre climatiseur. Nous sommes heureux que vous l’ayez trouvée simple et pratique à utiliser. Merci pour votre soutien !

Not very good

Sometimes it is not very correct and my room is a quiet room but it is 70 or more

Highly inaccurate

While there is the ability to calibrate, it’s still very difficult to get an accurate reliable reading. Other apps without needing calibration performed better.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear that the calibration did not provide the level of accuracy you expected. Sound measurement can vary depending on device hardware and environmental conditions, which may affect consistency between different apps. We appreciate your comparison and will take your comments into account as we continue improving accuracy and reliability. If you can share your device model and usage conditions, it will help us investigate further. Thank you for helping us improve the app.

피드백 감사합니다. 말씀해주신 내용은 더 나은 측정 정확도와 사용 경험을 위해 참고하겠습니다. 사용 중 불편한 점이 있다면 언제든지 알려주세요.

Sprache

man könnte noch unterschiedliche Sprachen möglich machen

Response from developer

Vielen Dank für dein Feedback und den Vorschlag! Die Unterstützung mehrerer Sprachen ist eine sehr gute Idee. Wir werden dies bei zukünftigen Verbesserungen der App berücksichtigen, um die Nutzung für mehr Nutzer zugänglicher zu machen. Danke, dass du uns hilfst, die App zu verbessern.

Sucks

Me and my friend Coley tried this and it was not accurate. I was talking a little bit loud and it said I was 120 in danger but whenever we try doing it outside and screaming, it only went up to like 110. This thing is not accurate at all, and it does not work.

Does what it Says

Does what it Says, nothing more. It’s all I wanted and nothing I didn’t.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear the app meets your expectations and provides exactly what you need. We appreciate your support.

Oh no

This is very very the best very the best, but the Wendy’s Frosty’s are obviously better NENEN how about W?

Didn’t work

Asked for permission to use microphone over and over again. Gave permission but it just asked again!

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience. If the app repeatedly requests microphone access even after permission is granted, this may be related to system permission settings or a temporary iOS permission sync issue. Please try checking the app’s microphone permission in your device settings and restarting the app. If the issue continues, please share your device model and iOS version with our support team so we can investigate further. We appreciate your help in improving the app.

갑자기

갑자기 말하면 아무리 작게 해도 110은 넘어가네 이딴거 쓰지 마세요

Good!

Good!

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you’re enjoying the app and appreciate your support. :::

Not very good

Sometimes I only breathe but it is 70decibels

One more small feature please

Please add the ability to rename the sounds recorded. For instance the sound level at the station and inside the bus or at the barber. 💈 thanks. 😊

Response from developer

Thank you for your helpful suggestion! We really appreciate the idea of adding the ability to rename recorded sound measurements. This would make it easier to organize and distinguish different environments such as stations, buses, or other locations. We’ll take this into consideration for future updates. Thanks again for your feedback and support 😊

Just use NIOSH…

…Sound Level Meter.

As far as I can tell all this app does on the free version is plaster the screen with ads, and freezes all the time not allowing continuous accurate monitoring.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience. We understand your concerns regarding ads and performance in the free version. Ads help support the free offering, but we also aim to keep the app stable and responsive during continuous use. If the app is freezing, it may be related to device performance, memory usage, or network conditions. Please ensure you are using the latest version, as updates often include stability improvements. We appreciate your input and will take your comments into account for future improvements.

Review

5star. Made mistake on stars

Médiocre

Cela ne mesure pas bien le son.
Les mesures ne sont pas précises

Response from developer

Merci pour votre retour ! Nous sommes désolés que la précision des mesures ne vous convienne pas. Les résultats peuvent varier selon le microphone du téléphone, l’environnement et le calibrage. Nous travaillons continuellement à améliorer la précision et la stabilité des mesures 🚀

Gut funktionierende SchallMesser

Der Schallmesser läuft stabil.
Das kalibrieren geht einfach. Wobei die Einstellungen nur subjektiv sind.
Macht Wasser soll!

Response from developer

Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback! 😊 Es freut uns, dass der Schallmesser stabil läuft und die Kalibrierung einfach ist. Wir arbeiten weiter daran, die Genauigkeit und Einstellungsmöglichkeiten noch besser und objektiver zu gestalten 🚀
