Here is the app`s compatibility information: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iPhone OS 3.1.3 or later.
Bottom Line: For more information about SPL check developer Studio Six Digital`s website : http://www.studiosixdigital.com

Oh no A disastrous update They finally took the horrible battery draining background operation so call feature out of RTA but they put it into SPL Now when you exit this app in the conventional way it keeps running and draining your battery Why they think this is a good idea or should be the default operation is just beyond me Please please make this behavior optional and default it to operate in the way that most iPhone apps do to exit the app when you press the home button original review I have recently had the opportunity to compare with a very calibrated instrument and was very favorably impressed This thing works very well I also checked my Radio Shack meter at the same time and it s good right around 1KHz which is where if you read its instructions it is calibrated The Radio Shack SPL meter by the way while a bargain for the price and quite good for what it is is not a good tool for tuning subwoofers at all This iPhone ap while better still isn t the best for subs either with the built in mic but worked much better with an external Also this ap s A weight filter is better than Radio Shack s In conclusion this ap is a bargain for the price and so handy to have with you A My one suggested improvement a logging mode which logs SPL at selectable intervals minutes and seconds and then can e mail the log out in csv format with time and SPL reading     Amazing Gollnick

After accidentally losing the calibration of my subwoofer I discovered that my trusty Radio Shack SPL meter was no longer accurate with sub 100 Hz test tones I bought SPL and found it agreed stably within 1 dB of my main channel measurements using the old hardware and wideband pink noise This is more than enough to validate it as a replacement for the RS meter while it is a lot more cost effective I spent the same amount today on a 9 V battery for the meter as the app cost                     Enthusiastically recommended jeliotb

I ve found that UI elements do not scale correctly on iPad such as 74 5 would show up as 74 for the peak dB value This makes it unusable on iPad     UI elements do not scale correctly on iPad N2LLC

I have loved this app previously In fact I would have always given this app five stars until this version I have been using this app for years now and I have always used the dark metal color scheme Now the only option is white The white color option is TERRIBLE As a foh guy I use this app a lot But I think I will be looking for another app because the white color scheme adds extra light to foh and the white is extremely harsh on the eyes If you have not updated to the newest version don t It s not worth it         Horrible color scheme Bryanacarter

Like the title says this app apparently likes heavy metal or satan or both It has crashed several times frozen on 66 6db m                     Crash at 66 6db Sarlac

I install professional audio and run sound at various events and I ve been using this app for over a year with great success The readings are very accurate and the app is easy to use I m glad this app came out because it is easy to check SPL on the fly without carrying a meter around with me everywhere I go However since the latest version came out it has been crashing my phone every time I use it It freezes and my phone becomes completely unresponsive I cannot even reboot I would have gave it 5 stars except for this problem Please fix this app because I use it almost weekly Thanks                 Great App but small issue brodrummer

Perfectly                     It Works melosh

My only wish I d love to have the analog style UI from their 99 younger brother SPL Meter                     An excellent tool Flying Faders

Best db meter on for iPhone I ve downloaded and used them all This one is easy to use has the most parameter settings and the ability to record peaks It is however strictly a db meter Some other meters show frequency and plots of readings over time These would be nice features to see added Ther one feature I think is clearly missing is the ability to utilize the capabilities of the iPhone to actually transmit the captured data If this were coupled by the ability to record real time readings this would be an awesome application Having spectral analysis and perhaps capture would make it perfect                     Best db meter on for iPhone gpmark

It s amazing that anyone gives this application anything less than a stellar review It does what it s supposed to do does it well and reasonably accurately It is preposterously inexpensive And it s always here on my phone ready to use whenever I need it I do wish that the reviews were flagged and votes not counted when people simply can t figure out how to use it or don t like the way it looks It renders the 5 star voting approach meaningless for those of us who are looking for tools that work It s a tool not a toy or a game                     extremely useful SoundsOKtoMe

I wish people would write reviews within the context of the App This is an SPL meter that works on you phone IE a reference tool when you re caught without your pro gear And as such it works very well Also there s a reason for a 105 db threshold on your iPhone Someone is holding a phone to their ear as you transmit a db signal Granted I m sure no phone manufacturer would knowingly create a reciever that would reach beyond pain and damage thresholds C mon people think                     Context s0uls3arch3r

I agree with review 4 very nice software you have your phone with you all the time but not your audio tool box or ivie or other professional tools But you do have your phone John                     Owner Phoenix1951

The new appearance hurts my eyes Please let me downgrade         Ugh Peejayfixie

I m not sure if I m using it rite or if it s accurate but it s fun to mess with and I was wondering what s the max reading on this thing everything I ve tried it on came to 107 6db can it go higher                     Pretty sweet app Antnii

I compared it to a SPL from Radioshack and it does not even come close to being accurate Specifically for tuning subwoofers it is off by 25db     Does not have the accuracy of professional SPL for tuning home theater systems Sekhar

Great app really easy to use and quite accurate without additional calibration Compared it to Radio Shack SPL meter and they are both very close                     SPL Studio Six Digital Digione
