QuietScore measures how much noise your doors and windows actually block: a Sound Isolation Score in about 60 seconds, using your iPhone and a Bluetooth or AirPlay speaker. No lab equipment, no calibration, no sign-up. It is a practical estimate, on a scale comparable to professional STC ratings, and it is the number that tells you whether to sign the lease, whether your conference calls can be heard from the next room, whether the studio treatment worked, or whether last weekend's weatherstripping did anything at all. HOW IT WORKS 1. Put a Bluetooth or AirPlay speaker inside the room 2. Step outside with your phone and take a reading with the door open 3. Close the door and take the second reading The app plays test tones through the speaker and measures how much of them survives the trip through your door or window. Same spot for both readings, only the door changes: your score is the difference between the two, which is why nothing needs calibrating. About 60 seconds once the speaker is connected. WHAT YOU GET • Sound Isolation Score, one number for the whole door or window • Privacy Rating: Excellent, Good, Moderate or Poor • Four-tone breakdown — 125 Hz, 500 Hz, 1 kHz and 4 kHz, so you can see whether it's bass, HVAC hum or speech that gets through • Rooms and history — save each result to a room, add a note about what you changed, and see the difference since the last measurement • PDF reports — export a result to hand to a contractor, a landlord or a client LEAK SCANNER Sound rarely comes through the wall. It comes through the gap. Sweep your phone along a door or window frame and the scanner reads the leak live against a baseline spot you set, so you can hear and see the moment it jumps. Mark the hot spots as you find them and they collect into a findings list. Two modes: play a tone from inside, or listen passively to whatever noise is already out there. The scanner locates leaks — it doesn't score the door. THE FIRST 3 ARE FREE Your first 3 Sound Isolation Scores are free, with no account and no trial clock. After that the measurement still runs and the score unlocks with a plan. A retake spends one of your three; a run we can't stand behind, interrupted or too noisy to trust, doesn't. The app shows what you have left before you start. PLANS • Home — unlimited QuietScores, the four-tone breakdown, saved rooms with history and notes, the full Leak Scanner and PDF export • Studio — everything in Home, plus raw dB figures and USB reference-microphone support • Business — everything in Studio, plus branded, client-ready PDF reports FOR PROFESSIONALS QuietScore Business is built for acoustic consultants, property managers, contractors and studio builders who need a number in front of a client before the expensive work starts, with their own name on the report rather than ours. Measure room by room on a single visit, save each to its own record, and export a branded PDF the same afternoon. Every report carries your logo and company name, with fields for the client, site address, project ID and anything else the job needs. Works with any Bluetooth or AirPlay speaker, on iPhone and iPad. Your measurements stay on your device. The Sound Isolation Score is a practical estimate, measured with your phone instead of lab equipment rather than certified by it. It is the number you use to decide what to fix, show what changed, and give a client an answer the same day. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

Tint Meter

Read full description

How dark is your window tint, really? Tint Meter gives you a quick estimate of the VLT (visible light transmission) straight from your iPhone or iPad. It works with two readings. Hold the edge with the front camera against the closed window and take the first one, then lower the window and take the second from the same spot. Tint Meter compares the two and shows how much light gets through, a tint level, and the range the true value most likely falls in. Tint Meter measures light with the front camera. No photos or video are taken, stored or sent anywhere. What you get • A VLT percentage with a realistic range around it • A tint level in plain words • A quick re-check that tells you whether the light stayed steady • Warnings when it's too dark, too bright, or the light changes mid-reading • History with names like "Family car, front left" so you can compare windows later • A result card you can share with a tint shop or a friend No account needed. Please note: Tint Meter is an estimate, not a certified tint meter. Results depend on your device, the light and how you hold it. Don't rely on it for legal, police, insurance or certification purposes. For an official check, use a calibrated meter.
