Not accurate
This meter consistently reads 30 decibels higher and should not be considered accurate.

Disable my app
I’m into audio and spent a lot of money for a way to set up and measure sound. A little while ago this software was disabled and replaced by a new version that now requires a rental fee to operate. Sorry but I feel ripped off. Why should I now have to pay for the use of the system I bought and was then disabled by the excuse of no update to pay more. Shame on you.

Excellent
Lots of add ons can be purchased for more specialised measurements. This standalone app is excellent at what it does, (measure sound level). It has excellent accuracy given that this is a mobile app. It’s not far off a measurement taken with a professional unit. I don’t get the previous review that rates this app as fake???? Could it be that a little knowledge of sound acoustics might help?

Horrible
Fake app
Best SLM app out there
I tested the app with 4 different phones of 4 different generations, and every one was 0.5 dBA from my type 1 meter when measuring white noise. I’m floored. I have been recommending this app to everyone. For 99% of people, the free portion of this app is all you’ll ever need.
Cheaters
I installed Sound Meter years ago and spent under a hundred dollars upgrading tools. Now I cannot even access the purchased tools because of unfettered profit subscription and decision not to support prior legacy sales.
Do not buy services! Any company that sells add -ons for 100 dollars, then discontinued legacy support cannot be trusted.

Response from developer
Hello sjrdragon, We supported SoundMeter and gave away free upgrades for nearly 10 years. Unfortunately, we cannot offer discounted upgrades for new versions on the App Store, which is largely why we now also offer subscriptions as an alternative to the perpetual license version of SoundMeter Pro 2020. SoundMeter X offers all the functionality of the original SoundMeter, plus the Noise Dosimeter tool, for free. The original SoundMeter still runs as well as ever on versions of iOS it was developed for and supported on. Please contact us if you have any other questions or concerns.
Almost a fraud
Bought Soundmeter Pro 3 years ago for $99. Doesn‘t work in IOS 13, no support. Now I‘m expected to buy a plan. That won‘t happen...
Rip-off, zero upgrade path for existing users
The full version of this software is easily one of the most expensive items on the AppStore, and I was dumb enough to buy it. Then when FaberAcoustic released a “new” version, there was no upgrade path. Not even a 1% discount for existing users. Zero. Zilch. So, now I am half a grand out of pocket, with nothing to show for it.
The developer claims the app stopped working because of operating system changes. As a developer with over a quarter of a century experience, I can definitely say that’s a very dodgy excuse. Sure, an old binary will eventually stop working, but you simply fix incompatibilities introduced by the new os version and recompile. This is exactly what the developer did, they just chose to release the new binary as a new app out of sheer greed.
Bum move mate.

Rip off! Save your money.
Several years ago I bought the whole suit of apps from this company only to find out recently that all the products I bought have been rendered non-functional by them. Instead of being able to use the apps I already paid for, they want me to pay buy new versions. The developer response to other similar comments is you can still use your old app. If you buy a new device, you can't because they removed the old app from the App Store! What a bunch of crooks!!

problem solved
I was quite outraged at the app not working on my new device, I had previously purchased the app for an older device and finding out the updated version required a subscription had me furious, I wrote to Faber expressing my outrage and was met with a polite and quick response explaining the release of an update that solved all compatibility problems, works just like it used to and with an updated GUI I quite enjoy, 100% satisfied customer again! Highly recommended.

Pratique commerciale honteuse
Ne mets plus à jour son app sciemment pour forcer à repasser à la caisse. C’est la dernière fois.
Can’t do anything without expensive subscriptions
Multiple, multiple subscriptions required of all sorts and prices to do anything worthwhile. Better to pass on this one.

Hello bobster1, We're sorry for any confusion SoundMeter X may have caused with its subscription options. SoundMeter X offers exactly 3 subscription tiers. Each tier may be purchased for 1 month or 1 year. If you have any other questions, or need further assistance, please contact us directly. We're happy to help.
Alte Kaufversion obsolet
Leider hat es sich herumgesprochen, dass man mit Abos gut Geld verdienen kann.
Ich hatte für die vorherige Version einen fairen Preis gezahlt und nun soll ich plötzlich regelmäßig zahlen? Nein danke.

Déçu
Déçu par FABER ACOUSTICAL, l’appli original ne fonction pas sous ios13 alors que j’ai acheté plusieurs option 15-20€ chaque.
Pas digne de confiance. Je ne mettrais plus 1 centime chez eux.

Accurate sound meter
So I saw a lot of complaints regarding the cost of licensing and others based on folks who feel that they were cheated out of licensing. While I cannot comment on those specifics, remember that Microsoft does the exact same thing with Office 365. The developers have to pay the bills as well.
As for the free version of this app, it does what it says, and does it well. I tested it against an actual sound meter and had readings within 1 dB of each other across a wide spectrum of intensities and frequencies. For most people, I’m sure this accuracy will suffice. The user interface is fairly intuitive and easy to use. It fits the bill for my, especially since the basic version is free.
