Sound meter
I bought this app and paid for it. The data is not possible to save. The Dropbox link goes nowhere and cannot be changed. A picture is not very useful. I am told I have to pay for advanced features. What are they? Why am I not asked in advance? I fear that I will pay twice for the same thing.
Amazing
I’m a full time sound engineer. Yes I have calibrated RTA mics and room measurement software, but I’ve compared this app side by side with those tools and this is perfectly usable and more than accurate enough for most situations.
Indispensable
Je l’ai acheté ily a bien des années et il me sers à chaque prestation pour régler l’EQ et volume. Aussi pour éliminer un Larsen en reconnaissant la fréquence coupable.
À la maison je l’utilise pour régler les volumes de mes bandes orchestres.
Un petit investissement pour cette app devenue indispensable dans ma “boîte à outils” :-)

Working in bars and loud music I found this app invaluable.
Interface à revoir
Bonjour , l outil a beaucoup d options et de menu et sous menus trop pour les non professionnels qui veulent juste mesurer le volume sonore en amateur. L
Interface devrait avoir 2 modes un avance et un basique . Une autre chose on ne sait pas ou voir notre abonnement . Ça fait 30min que recherche l option subscription, je ne trouve rien
Et donc je ne peux pas exporter ds Dropbox alors que j ai acheté l option ( je crois)

It’s great, just mic gain auto query!
It’s good, no issues. I have a question i think i’m going to answer! With the microphone gain set permanently to ‘auto’ ( i cannot move the slider!), is it impossible to stop this because it uses the inbuilt iphone mic? Obvs, if the mic gain is auto-changing, i cannot realistically measure dB. I had a noisy fan, i cleared debris from the grille…now it measures as louder in dB! It’s much quieter to my ears than it was. I look back at the screenshots, then find i cannot move the mic gain from automatic! Now, some audio apps grab control of auto mic and circumvent it, do can noise meter be made to do this? Thanks anyway.

Response from developer
Thanks for feedback and using this App. "AUTO" is misleading indeed. When you cannot switch, it means that the built-in hardware handles everything and the Application does not have access to manual setting. Which is great because carefully tuned by Apple in order to make it transparent for user (if it changes gain, audio data is compensated accordingly). When inserting external microphone, you may have access to manual gain. A calibration is needed in that case. At least, it was like this for a while. I will update all Apps soon and see if something changed since. For your measurements, I assume you measured with A-weighting at a distance of al least 1 meter. Being too close would make measurement more difficult to achieve good results.
Very Good
I use this many year no problem. I like it.

Thanks for using this App and for feedback. Highly appreciated.
Great product
I’ve used this a great deal over the years for monitoring office machinery noise levels and taking appropriate action to ensure comfort for staff. I’d be stuck without such a tool.

Thanks for using this App and for feedback. Highly appreciated.
Multifunctional sound app
I am NOT an expert in sound measurement, but I love this app for demonstrating to people who are skeptical of how loud our environments often are. The FFT feature is great for identifying noise sources as well. Lots of folks I’ve shown it to hav downloaded it themselves as well.

Thanks for using this App and for feedback. Highly appreciated.
Excellent low cost sound meter
Very happy with performance of app! Using to balance sound levels between Music Keyboard and Simply Piano online lessons. But main objective is keeping listening volume at safe levels, preserving my hearing and preventing worsening tinnitus.

The Best
I am very careful with my hearing in loud environments. This App is excellent for reading loudness levels throughout my day. I sometimes work around an airport. I always protect my ears. It's nice to know what these loud situations could be doing to my hearing at the convenience of my smartphone.
Update: I have had this App for over 8 years and still love it. The developer has maintained it all this time. So extremely happy for this.
I used it recently when I was at a Wedding Reception. They seated us next to the speaker. I thought I was going to die. It read 96-97 db’s. I showed the people at my table how loud it was. They were surprised. And also showed them this can cause hearing damage if we are to sit here the whole night.
Anyway, got out of that situation before the exposure limit. So useful. Thanks again!

Very limited features. No in app support
Wouldnt download. I purchased app for $5 usd like a dummy. There’s no in app support. The data you can export is extremely limited csv. Other apps allow you to video record w/audio db levels. Even though I paid for the professional version of this app it will not unlock the feature. It’s a scam. Cant even contact developer in app.

Response from developer
You can request for a refund. There a plenty of means for contacting developer: in info page, this is called ‘contact’. The App does exactly what it claims, no more, no less. Since it does not claim to export videos, it does not export videos.
Optisch wieder einmalig und techn. sehr gut
Mein im November geäußerter Kritikpunkt ist wieder hinfällig: die App sieht nicht nur klasse aus, sondern ist auch techn. einwandfrei.
Liegt pünktlich unterm (Weihnachts-) Baum! 😃 danke!

Eine neue Version wird derzeit validiert. Es sollte die visuelle Darstellung auf neueren iPhones verbessern.
Excellent Sound Level Meter
The app is well designed and actually looks like a real sound level meter. The app works very well and is also accurate. I have tried all of the sound level meters for iOS, and this one is far superior. Congratulations to the developers. Great work!
Response from developer
Thanks for feedback !
Excellent
This is an excellent app. I use it often to check listening levels during music production. I have checked its readings against a dedicated sound level device and they concur. Save your hearing and take it to any concert or event and walk out if it shows 85+dB(A)!
Response from developer
Thanks for feedback
Fabulous little app
This little app has been incredibly useful for our research and development, tracking sources of noise, and comparing noise measurements from different machines. The FFT is good, really handy for identifying noise sources. No thank you very much for all the work in preparing this app. It’s great.
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback
Fantastic, Reliable, Useful
I use this app several times a year and have used it for many years. It is a fantastic reliable and useful app. I highly recommend it.
It’s very helpful when measuring speakers, general levels of noise if I’m in an audience, and I even use it with over the ear headphones (I just get the mic-end of the phone as close I can where my ears would reside within the earpiece to get a general idea so I protect my ears).
If you don’t have a dedicated spl meter (or don’t carry one around with you) I recommend you get this. You won’t be disappointed. 🙂

Ótimo!
Muito bom, utilizo esse app a anos e possui precisão classe 2 no iPhone. Com erro entre 1,0 a 1,5 dB. Se comprar um microfone calibrado para iPhone você tem precisão e acurácia igual a qualquer decibelímetro no mercado.

Great App! Very easy to use and I trust it to be accurate based on readings of known levels like a hammer on a nail, conversation, quiet room. Could be saving my hearing in the long run.
Response from developer
Thanks for feedback.
Was the best…
…until landscape mode got stuck. Now unusable. No way to change settings.
Response from developer
Nothing changed! Can you check this two settings ?: _ in Conf tab you have "Disable landscape mode": what setting ? _ in iPhone pop-up menu "from bottom" you have a rotation lock option (along with plane mode, lamp, ...): a key lock icon
