Featured in a research paper!

This was one of three SPL Meter apps I tested and wrote a paper about. Check it out at:

Fava, G., Oliveira, G., Baglione, M., Pimpinella, M., & Spitzer, J. B. (2016). The use of sound level meter apps in the clinical setting. American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 25(1), 14-28.

Great SPL Meter App

I’ve had this installed on various phones over the years and whenever I use it, I always think, " What a great little SPL Meter this app is”

If you ever need to use it when you’re out and about and don’t have a dedicated SPL Meter, then this does the job

You can even calibrate the app to a point balancing it manually when using your actual SPL Meter giving real confidence that it’s going to be somewhere near accurate without relying on the phone's own microphone quality

As I only use it once in a while, that’s why I’d forgotten it was installed and it was perfect for the job of calibrating my electronics before applying some basic EQ today

The results were brilliant and the other staff members were pleased with the results as the electronics were being used uncalibrated

I’m so surprised by the lack of reviews rating this product, but I guess, when something works so well, people like me forget

So this is me unforgetting giving it a 5-star rating 👊

Too inconsistent

The meter is too inconsistent compared to other meters. Wouldn’t recommend paying for this.

Efficace et précis.

Très bon sonomètre.
Seul petit bémol, dommage que l’on ne puisse pas travailler en retournant l’iPhone pour que le micro soit dirigé vers la source sonore. L’affichage ne tourne pas à 180°.

Don’t buy here’s why

Don’t purchase this app. The meters are inconsistent. You’ll get a measurement then it changes completely. Not stable.

Price

It Said it was .99 but charged me 6.99

Great little Sound Meter

I really like this App, it seems accurate enough for general use and I can use it on my iPhone and iPad. It’s a bit retro, but there’s nothing wrong with that :-)

The latest update today fixed an issue with not being able to use the iPad Pro 5th Gen microphones - shame it takes so long for Apple to ‘test’ and release updates, like two months.

It’s good. Pls make meter bigger

It’s good. Pls make meter bigger in landscape mode. Switches and dial can be redesigned.
Thanks!

SPL Metre

Great app. Well worth it!

Good

I use this in places where I play. It allows me to keep track of the noise levels and stay within permitted levels. Also make the boss happy

측정치가 비교적 정확한 편입니다

측정치 정확한 편인데 부가기능은 너무 적어서 아쉽네요

Andrew's done a great job

What a handy alternative to my hand-held hardware meter, and the readings correspond quite well. Amazingly, the iPhone 7 internal mic enables indication down to 16Hz (organ pedals!) and up to 20 kHz. Developer Andrew Smith's website offers clear description of what spl, dB and hearing-curves are all about. I'm using the SPL Meter stand-alone, but see that it can be mated up with AudioTools to do more.

ottima applicazione

l’applicazione è ottima. una versione per watch sarebbe magnifica

Stupenda interfaccia utente

Realismo assoluto, bellissima app.

Great App

It's great to have this type of tool in your pocket.

The app doesn't scale to screen...

... with iOS 10.3.2 on iPad. It used to be full screen. What happened? Or is this by design?

Does what it says on the tin. Easy to use, accurate, good job.

Easy to use, analogue meter, accurate. Reboot phone after install and microphone calibration to avoid greyed out settings and should work fine. Support was ultra fast, replied on xmas day! Well done, restored my faith in app developers. Wish they were all like this team!

Blurry UI

Since the current update my interface for this app is blurry, very low looking resolution, looked great before this update. Please fix.

great

but I dont know how to use it :/

Best SPL Meter I've owned

I have several SPL meters and this APP rocks them all. Key feature, I always have it with me!'
