SPL Meter

I think this is a fun app worth buying BUT it crashes now on an iPad              Cool App

I was hoping this meter would measure bass but it doesnt Very dissapointed But for 99 cant really complain lol     Meh

Simple and easy to use just like my trusty Radio Shack I have been using for years but always in my pocket A must for AV professionals              great app

After downloading latest update it simply crashes I liked it before this     It crashes

The readings are seldom within 10db of an accurate meter        db Meter

I just got an onkyo 308 av receiver and it doesnt have a built in mic Looked at radio shack and a SPL meter was 50 bucks Downloaded this and it works great I calibrated my stero works like a charm As for the other review put it in C weighting and it gets the bass volume Seems to be very accurate Overall VERY useful for the price                 Great

Needs retina display update This thing looks terrible     Works but very looks horrible

I think this is a great app It does all I expect it to I dont have any reference point but I am happy Easy to use                 Great app

Does not give consistent readings Varies by 10 to 20 dB Does not alway turn on when app is touched have to tap fastslow button to get to start           SPL Not Consistent

I showed up for a studio sound level check and my professional grade Radio Shack SPL meter had a dead battery I had 2 auditoriums to check Checked one auditorium when I realized that I had a spare battery in my car Compared readings and they were close enough to where I didnt need to recheck              Wow VERY Accurate

A perfectly find SPL meter application which I am happy to recommend I only wish there was a way to display just digits wo the analog meter face I understand theres some attachment to the old skool red needle but just having a readout would make this just that much more attractive of an application              Meter face is quaint

This app has always seemed to work well but the update with the grey photograph of an actual piece if hardware and the metal toggle switches is a much worse look than before I implore the developer to go back to something more like the old version or at least make the images look less like photographs correct lens distortions make the toggle switches look like 3D toggle switches instead of overhead photographs of actual switches etc              Nice but the old look was better

Dont know if its 100 accurate but works well enough on my iPhone 5 I have used this app many times to tweak and calibrate my home theater system                 Good enough

Placed sidebyside with a calibrated Type 2 sound level meter in a noisy room this app measured within plus or minus 2 dBA on a 4 phone on a 4s it undermeasured by around 6 dBA Pretty fun to have with you in your favorite tavern              Pretty accurate on a 4 phone

Really like this app I would give it 5 stars but its hard to know believe that it provides accurate absolute readings of SPL for every little mic in every iPad or iPod Nonetheless if you take the absolute values with a grain of salt there is a lot to like here I used it to ascertain that my summer apartment in France was plagued by 96dB peak worth of eurotrash disco music last night during the summer solstice partiesonthestreet Yikes Not quite at the threshold of physical pain but definitely that on the psychological level              good stuff

I downloaded another app first that didnt work right so I was skeptical on buying this one I put side by side with a meter here at my office and it performed well I wish the interface was a bit more indepth but really what more to you need                 Accurate

Working as a sound tech with some friends a buddy got this app and we compared it to a real decibelmeter It was about 10 dB off but then a quick calibration brought it in to be accurate Will prove very helpful as we travel venues and locales PS To the guy who gave it 1star I would ask if you dont know what the controls are for you dont know what this is really used forwhy rate the app low for YOUR lack of understanding 27 has a bug if you flip phone so speakers an micro pointed up you can only see the bottom corner of the app           A Sound App

Not able to identify my subwoofer Im using iphone 4s for this app when I play my subwoofer for configuration this meter sits ideal        Dosent

Great application for under a buck Worth buying                 Excellent App

Perfect in every way Checked the accuracy in my schools soundproof room with some BK audiology equipment The results were within 23 dB Great app Great price                 Awesome

If you try to use this with an ipod touch and a blue mikey all you get is screeching horrible feedback No option to turn off playbackmic Completely and utterly useless     Useless with ipod touch and blue mikey v1

With this fix the app runs flawlessly And it shows me that the company really wants user feedback through their support page not negative comments on iTunes I emailed them yesterday about this bug and today theres an update Sure they may have already been working on it but I like to think they are just that quick                 Great user support

Latest update fixed issue with iPad crashing                 Works Very Well

Calibrated it shows a reasonable degree of accuracy Its all an iPhone app SPL needs to be The graphics work well Quite happy with it Lets call it a good purchase                 Great little meter

Im glad I got it                 It works really well

No excuse for not having this on your iPhone if you are involved with audio at all I play guitar primarily and will use this to check that the amp is set as close as possible to the same output level everytime I have to resetup Makes your sound guy happy For home recording I use this to compare the output of my mix to a similar professional commercial mix when mastering a song Again just a handy app to keep on your smartphone for any occasion Kudos to the developers one of the few apps left that work with a darn on an iPhone 3G                 Great app

Waste of a dollar Every time I inadvertently tipped my iPhone4 into landscape mode and then uprighted it the program display would get all screwed upas if I had zoomed in to see just the lower left part of the display And it would remain that way until I killed the program and restarted Very annoying Crashed once as well Deleted and wrote it off as a loss However when it worked it seemed OK Plain easy to read meter quick response etc FWIW        Glitchy

Doesnt actually do what you think Keeps bugging you to buy some pro thing Avoid     Doesnt work Looks horrible

More people should get this game because you can check the level of the sound and it mite be too loud so you can tell the people to lower the volume                 Protect your ear

Well I dont know how accurate it is Seemed to max out at around 90db with internal mic Dont have an external One thing that is annoying is the round scale knob It seems to be be very touchy and a pain to set it to a value Running on 4g iPod touch           Neat but

Once you have a great tool youll find new ways to do your work As an HVAC tech I take pride in quiet installations and in fixing others noisy work Having a really fine meter on my belt saves time gives me a chance to create sales opportunities in the moment with customers                 Tech

Sidebyside almost the same readouts from my Radio Shack Meter Close enough for my home theatre set up                 Radio Shack SPL

Just an excellent all around app for measuring decibels I use it all the time Very well designed and good looking Also still well supported by the developer despite being what 5 years old Great job                 Absolutely the watermark

Current version is not compatible to iOS8 graphic is messed up           Not compatible to iOS8

Works as expected              I like it

I bought this app to properly set the levels on my new home theater By default the readings were way low in comparison with my RadioShack meter After tweaking the trim extensively it matches up pretty well However even when calibrated and using c weight and slow response my iPhone 4s with this app was completely incapable of picking up my subwoofer test tone for subwoofer level setting           Good for basics after tweeks

very responsive i calibrated against an actual meter the default settings were only off by 2dB                 great app

I like this little app Its pretty accurate for a phone              Works well worth the

Im only interested I relative levels maintaining a consistent monitor level for example So this app rocks for me even if it is a number or two off Great studio tool                 Perfect for my use

Great app but on iOS 4 setting the calibration trim level turns the status bar on top red for a moment and then the app exits immediately                 Calibration not working

This ap worked perfectly until the last upgrade From what I can see the only thing this change did was add a commercial for an expensive external microphone while taking away the ability to adjust the MAX signal level It really is a shame to see them mess up a nice ap try and get you to pay them more money I used to rate this as a five star ap now Im going to delete it if its not fixed Very disappointed        No gods after upgrade

Learnt a lot about decibel levels and their impact on sound and noise from this handy little app                 Works As Advertised Fast iP4 fix by Dev

Simple but effective                 It just works

Was loving it on iPad but now that it crashes I cannot tell if I love it           Was loving it

The db knob is way to touchy A three point calibration would be beneficial as it is not accurate at all I calibrated it on my iPhone4 at 85db At 115db it indicates 96 and at 45db it indicates 58 These test were done using a professionally calibrated meter           Not bad for basic home use

Long ago my brother had a Radio Shack sound meter We walked around the house to check out how different sounds registered and enjoyed learning this way Ive had a loud voice for a long time and Im the first to admit its better in choirs than in libraries Nevertheless at a recent meeting of 80 people someone said I screamed an inquiryand my interest in volume came back a hundred fold I looked at several of the sound meter apps and this one drew me Im glad as it does exactly what I needed for only 99 cents The meter comes at factory settings ready to check your homes sound levels The three controls are Weight default A touch to change to C Range default 40 roll the wheel with your fingertip to go as high as 120 and Response default Fast touch to change to Slow are easy for a novice to understand and simple to change My favorite part is found when you click the i in the upper right corner you get the setup screen where you can calibrate against white or pink noise and you get a SPL chart of dBso you can compare sounds Caregivers of peopleyoung and oldwith inquisitive minds will like this app                 Great app for the basics

Great for quick FOH reference Latest update has an issue with screen rotationI only see the bottom corner of the GUI when I rotate the phone upside down Please fix this              Great reference but update issues

Earlier this week I and some friends went to hear the Yonder Mountain String Band play at the Ryman Auditorium While I very much enjoy bluegrass music the sound was painfully loud The younger crowd didnt seem to mind the volume but to a older person like myself it was very uncomfortable Luckily someone had an extra pair of ear plugs and I was able to enjoy the rest of the show in comfort But I still wondered how loud was the music I pulled out my iPhone 4s and went to the AppStore I bought SPL Meter based entirely on looks It looked like an spl meter should look Once downloaded I found the app easy to use with intuitive controls Where we were sitting in the center of the balcony the levels averaged between 97 and 101 db Pretty loud The next day I cranked up my stereo at home to the same levels as the night before so I could experience the volume in familiar surroundings The discomfort was the same In summary SPL meter suits my purposes very well because its handy if I need it I have no idea how it compares to professional meters                 Quick Easy

I was just about to purchase a handheld db unit when I ran across this interesting looking little app I had recently purchased a high pressure misting pump which is louder than I would like so I wanted to try some ideas I have for reducing the sound and I wantedneeded a way to measure the results As I still have a first generation iPad I had concerns about how well this app would work with it Turns out it works great It downloaded easily and when I fired it up by the pump it read 705 db the manufacturers spec sheet said to expect 70 db so this app seems to be right on the money This app save me about 30 so I say its a great deal for 099 My only suggestion would be that they provide a bit more info for us novices                 It clearly works and its only 099

Downloaded it a few days ago and it worked fine but now it doesnt Now it just says 999db and the needle no longer moves Uninstalled     Stopped working
