App name
Description
"decibel x" is one of very few noise meter apps on the market that has highly reliable, pre-calibrated measurements and supports dBA, dBC. It turns your iOS device into a professional sound level meter, precisely measures the sound pressure level (SPL) all around you. This extremely useful and beautiful tool will not only be a great tool for many uses but also bring you a lot of fun. Have you wondered how quiet is your room or how loud is a rock concert or sport event? "decibel x" will help you answer all of those.
WHAT MAKE IT GREAT AND STAND OUT FROM OTHER APPS:
- Trusted accuracy: the app is tested and pre calibrated for all Apple devices. The precision is matching with real SPL devices
- Apple Watch support: see noise level right from your wrist
- Health App integration: export noise levels directly into Health app.
- Frequency weighting filters: ITU-R 468, A, B, C, Z
- Powerful, smart history data management:
+ Recording data can be saved into a list of history records for future access and analysis
+ Each record can be exported as hi-res PNG graph or CSV text via sharing services
+ iCloud support which synchronize all history records across your Apple devices
+ Fullscreen mode to give overview the whole history of an record
- Dosimeter with NIOSH, OSHA standards
- FFT and BAR graphs to display real time FFT. Those are very useful for frequency analysis and musical tests. Real time predominant frequency is also displayed.
- WAVE graph with 2 display modes: Rolling & Buffer
- InstaDecibel to capture your dB report overlaid on photos and easily shared via popular social networks (Facebook, Instagram, Messages, etc.).
- Support both Portrait and Landscape layouts
- Beautiful, intuitive and carefully crafted UI design
- Optimized for iOS 11
OTHER GREAT FEATURES:
- Standard time weightings (Response Time): SLOW (500 milliseconds) and FAST (200 milliseconds)
- Trimming calibration from -15 dB to 15 dB
- Standard measurement range from 30 dBA up to 130 dBA
- HISTO graph for plotted history of the recorded values
- Real time scale level chart
- Display Current, Average/Leq, and Max values with both nice and clear digital and analog layouts
- Quick reference text to help you compare with real-life examples
- "Keep Device Stay Awake" option for long duration recording
- Reset and clear current recording at any time
- Tap on Max value to reset at any time
- Pause/Resume the tool at any time
NOTES:
- Please do not expect a quiet room reading will be 0 dBA. The range 30-130 dBA is the standard usable range and an average quiet room will be about 30 dBA.
- Although all devices are pre-calibrated, custom calibration is suggested for serious purposes requiring higher precision and accuracy. You will need a real external device or calibrated sound meter as a reference, then adjust the trimming calibration until the reading matches with the reference.

Monthly subscription?!
by Adrian26Th on 2021/04/12 22:59
For a simple utility app?!
Too many ads.
by Moi 1979 on 2021/04/02 15:40
This used to be great and I have used it for live music events. Unfortunately it is now full of ads, so next to useless. Shame.
Poor

Why do u have to pay just get ads instead
Used to be good
by DJgnome on 2021/02/15 07:56
This app used to be good - then the adverts started. I have no problem with free apps dropping the occasional advert, we all have to keep the lights on. But literally everything is proceeded with an ad. Uninstalled for that reason.
Good

A bit sneaky - be careful .... !!!
by LPKM on 2021/01/16 13:34
This app does NOT tell you that it’s a paid for app until after you have download it ....
very disappointing..
spent over an hour trying to work out how to disable it .... not good at all... ..!!!
Very disappointed

by Aberdeen 001 on 2021/01/06 09:03
Every time I try and open the app it send me to another advert. I’m stuck in a loop of adverts and can’t get the app to start
Total rubbish - avoid
Too many ads

You are bombarded with adverts from the offset. It is just too annoying.

Not a pleased fella tonight
by CroydonKen on 2020/10/20 10:30
Tried recording the dessibells of my lawn mower cuz it was so loud. It didn’t even work sill Turdus app. Don’t download.
Great app. Sneakily misleading.
by auntiemavis on 2020/10/10 13:24
I love this app and use this with my music students every so often.
I opened it yesterday for the first time in a while and after it had been upgraded, only to be confronted with an ‘upgrade to premium’ pop up. It looked to be the only option to use the app with nothing to say that you can use it without premium.
I only realised that I could use it without the upgrade today.
I very nearly deleted it.
Love the app. Sneakily misleading.
Sounds
by frankysGD on 2020/10/08 22:18
Brill unit, stops my neighbours moaning. I use it to register noise in my room.
My neighbours don’t realise how much noise they make.
But what the hell.
I always keep it in the blue
But they still complain.
Good guide. Thanks
AVOID -fake- no cust service
by Jolly Rogére on 2020/10/01 19:55
This is a broken or fake app.
The thing records four seconds of decibels and then stops. Even when set to keep recording. Sky paw the maker don’t answer their email, or dm on Twitter, messageform on their supposed site takes you to an error message, and to “report a problem” from within the app requires you use Mail app downloading all your mail into your phone (it doesn’t work on imap) but then also glitches and doesn’t work. There’s no email anywhere to copy and paste into a mail even. Waste of your money. Good luck trying to get a refund and cancelling their monthly subscription too.
A fraud and ripoff, honestly don’t do this it feels like a data mining front and a security risk. I just wanted to record noisy neighbours over the course of a day. Complete waste
Brilliantly Accurate
by Hyper10 on 2020/09/13 20:07
Combined against a calibrated machine and literally no difference
Not worth it!
by martins_irbe on 2020/08/30 08:14
Very disappointing experience!
Interesting
by Solarday on 2020/08/30 08:10
Tried many different sounds checks my wife was right up there with kettle. 😮only kidding love her to bits and your apps great. 👍
Intrusive ads
by diggaboy200 on 2020/07/30 14:26
Initially one of the most useful apps, but definitely the app with the most intrusive, loud, repetitive, full-screen games ads.
Unfortunately, the frequency of the ads increased significantly, presumably to encourage me to buy the premium version. However, the increasing frequency and full-screen nature of the ads had the opposite effect - reluctantly decided to delete the app as it became unusable.
Non reliable
by Jonauz on 2020/07/22 17:32
Comes as free, but first page instantly presents buy. I don't even know if it works. Also not planning to use trials just to signup and later need to hassle to cancel subscriptions on time!

Should clearly say 3 day trial only after accepting subscription
by ateeqaa on 2020/07/11 09:33
Uninstalled immediately
Misleading - this is. 3 day free trial
by t-m-a-z on 2020/07/04 20:32
This should be stated explicitly. Wasted time downloading this app to find it’s a 3 day free trial only. I’m sure they do this to inflate their download stats.
Awesome decibel app
by Cetacean63 on 2020/06/24 03:22
Very pleased with this app as on my iPhone it gives me a graph as well as a needle reading, thanks.
Rip off
by Miko Mayer on 2020/05/28 12:08
This developer removed the decibel function from their paid app Toolbox Pro and made this stand alone app with a subscription fee. So I had paid for the Toolbox Pro app, specifically for the decibel function, only to have it removed and put here for way more money. Wouldn’t buy another app from a company that is this unscrupulous.
Can’t Submit
by S.D.F.Doyle on 2020/05/20 10:48
Won’t play audio file, export sends a blank message, no support, no trouble shooting. Can’t give a Zero rating so unfortunately it had to get 1. Wouldn’t even let me review with the title poor.
£3.99 a month subscription
by beemerr5 on 2020/05/14 05:26
Uninstalled within 5min. If I am paying £3.99 a month for an app for any professional use I would need calibration certificate and for casual user monthly payment is not worth it at all.
Total greed from developer. Go with one off pricing. I would have paid £4.99 and enjoyed the app. Have a look at the procreate and what they offer for fixed price.
Good but annoying ad bar
by FMN1 on 2020/04/29 14:10
Would give it 5* but the stupid ad bar at the top of the display is a total nuisance and is still there with ad blockers.
Toooo many ads and not clear how to it works
by Cardboard Box 123 on 2020/04/27 08:32
Trash
Just another rip off
by Jeflep on 2020/04/18 15:27
Free for three days then you have to pay. If you want a free app I would go to another.

Shows as FREE, but only a 3 day trial
Good app, poor ads.
by admz8 on 2019/12/08 15:37
This is a great app and works very well. The design is great and the features appear to be decent. I do not wish to use this professionally, or that often. I would have paid to have ads removed for a small fee but £15 for the pro version seems pricey compared to other apps which are around £3 to remove ads.
Excellent app
by 001egbert on 2019/12/06 20:17
Works fine seems quite accurate
Good with a trick
by alabastro16374839 on 2019/11/29 23:18
The first screen encourages to start a three day trial and is designed so that the user may be tricked into accepting it instead of skipping it
It should be made easy to skip.
App seems to work great.
C weighting should be default.
Some more details on the meaning of the data in the dosimeter would be beneficial to occasional users concerned for their hearing health
Pretty Crippled
by Miffed64674587 on 2019/11/27 16:01
Endless ads, and then it turns out that £3.99 fee is not one-off but a monthly recurring subscription. Insane!
It works well, but is hobbled without purchase, and overpriced if you do succumb.
A bit of a con
by disgruntled from the north on 2019/11/12 18:10
I downloaded the app only to discover after I had done so that there would be a monthly charge for using it after the first 3 days. There was notifying to indicate this before it was downloaded
I’ve deleted the app
Can’t be tested without agreeing to subscription.

Dose what I need and more
by SBDACIEH on 2019/10/28 05:03
I am a Environmental Health Practitioner this is handy to have as a sound meter in your pocket to decide if you need to install a sound meter in a noise complaint it would be interesting to know how accurate this is compared with the big expensive meters used for noise nuisance complaint investigations
Trial required.
by nicholaspb on 2019/10/21 09:55
Description is misleading.
Do not use if you don’t want to pay £3.99 PER MONTH.
Daylight robbery.
Not worth £3.99 a month
by Messybynature on 2019/10/20 15:25
Apple are already doing one fee on the watch and hopefully on the phone. Alternatively go out and buy one from a hardware or shop, it works out cheaper.
Very Good

Nowhere to playback
by Fah007 on 2019/10/01 15:59
This is an app I downloaded a while back to record and playback noises the neighbours were constantly making when I used to live in a flat. Recently wanted to use to playback some annoying central heating noise issues and can’t see where to playback what I have recorded.. complicated to use..
Subscription
by Sunny020989 on 2019/09/29 04:05
Can’t cancel my subscription at all!!! Be careful! Have contacted apple support several times-no response.
Cancelling impossible
by Jam? on 2019/09/28 22:42
I’m trying to cancel the subscription but it doesn’t appear anywhere within my accounts! Very frustrating as the app does look too good, but I refuse to give it a chance if I’m forced to subscribe!
Mr Prasanna
by prasanna_UK on 2019/09/25 19:28
1. It’s good to have some alarm when the sound reaches more than certain decibels
2. Instead of continuous monitoring, I would rather prefer poll for few secs.
3. Show me the time at which the sound has its peak
4. Would be nice if it can detect and categorise the voice as male or female voice
5. Some links to refer what may cause you future problems of speaking with such high voice

Subscription you cannot cancel
by Jay-ems on 2019/09/06 04:13
‘Cancel any time’ yet you click cancel, it redirects you to Apple, you click cancel it redirects you to the App Store - App Store doesn’t let you cancel without being at a laptop or desktop - if you don’t have these at hand you will never be able to cancel your subscription. For those without access to a PC or laptop you will have this subscription indefinitely.
Excellent

It’s just been “updated” to add a premium subscription to those who had pro. Deleted
Not obvious to cancel
by Sound doesn't work on 2019/08/10 09:22
I downloaded this app for the free trial and then tried to cancel it so I was not charged. It is not obvious in the settings at all where to cancel the free trial so I deleted the app as I couldn’t see anywhere to cancel it. I was then charged the monthly fee for the app. I have emailed the company to ask them to cancel my account and have had no response. Not bothered about the first charge, but would like to be able to cancel this so I’m not charged again.
Decent, but tricked into paying
by Dustyrose666 on 2019/08/05 09:01
Decent decibel meter app. But promised 3-day free trial, and when I went to try to remove the app before 3 days were up I was informed “payment successfully”. Naughty.
3 day trial only
by nickname-MIA on 2019/07/19 18:50
Deceptive - expect this to be declared clearly up front prior to download. (May have been in fine print but undermines trust from the start.)

A scam to get money out of you
Please explain how
by Richard_C47 on 2019/06/02 11:54
The microphone circuitry on iPhones and iPads have high pass filters. Does your app bypass this filtering? Also, do you compensate for the uneven frequency response of the inbuilt microphones on these devices? Does plugging in an external microphone help accuracy?
Paid for the Pro version and now back to the basic.!
by Nssukltd on 2019/05/31 19:09
RIP off app that takes your money and then asks you to pay again. Stay away.

Free?

His is this free... it’s only free for 3 days. An absolute con and a waist of my time.
Good but unclear on whether subscription
by Prz1729 on 2019/05/12 11:11
First time I opened the app it offered me a free trial - this made it look like a subscription only app. Opening it later it worked in free mode, with ads. Works very well
Tricks you into a paid subscription on launch
by Bruce Boughton on 2019/04/24 20:10
Very sneaky. Luckily I noticed so I will cancel it.
Subscription
by hurnan. on 2019/03/15 06:18
App forces you to sign up for a free trial to use it, then when you want to cancel the subscription there is no way to do so within the app. I was charged for the new paid subscription days before the trial period end!
Ok app
by Simbee on 2019/03/14 05:17
WhatsApp it’s okay for me and that’s what is written on the box but sometimes I feel that it is a little bit approximative and cannot compare it to another reading meter
Subscribe membership?
by Archengzi on 2019/02/16 16:28
Does any one know what the membership subscriptions for ? I think that I understand about paying once to upgrade to Pro, permanently ?
Greedy
by chris4stars on 2019/02/13 22:08
I paid for the ‘pro’ version of this app 4/5 months ago. With the new update, ads are back and I’m expected to pay a monthly subscription? Nice way to treat the customers who paid for it in the first place 👎🏻
How do I cancel this app?!!!
by kent😝😝 on 2019/02/11 23:13
Option to cancel after the initial purchase is not given!!
Please contact me to assist me with this problem.

Why the ads?
by Ffffhrdxjdwf on 2019/01/15 23:09
I paid for the upgrade some time ago so that I could use the various weightings but now I’m getting very irritating ads interrupting my use of what is otherwise a good app. Very disappointed with the change.
Have tried again and discovered that I have to restore previous purchase every time I open the app to get rid of ads but can only do this after having to wait for an ad to finish. Come on sort this out!
29/12/18 You have updated the app yesterday but I’m still having to restore my purchase every time I open the app to get rid of annoying ads.
15/01/19 still not resolved. “One off payment”- joke
Now dissatisfied
by Griffo1956 on 2019/01/15 19:59
Had this for about a year & paid so got no add pop ups. However, having updated to latest version, now find that you have to pay 2.50 dollars per month to now obtain the weighted values that were included before. Plus, adverts have reappeared. Not very impressed!
Great app but...
by David_10025 on 2018/12/29 00:44
I have already paid for it so why do I have to restore my purchase every time I use the app!!!

Used to be good but ads seem intrusive
by M4RCUS2000 on 2018/12/13 21:11
Had to delete after it started playing video ads unannounced. I'm all for ad supported software but it should be tasteful.
Pitch perfect.
by RaVin2628 on 2018/12/09 11:44
I got this to record noise nuisance. Then I had a play with the app. It's turned out to be a really useful tool. Even tuning the tone of my M/C exhaust. 5 stars from me. Great suff.
Now with video ads

Must have for band members
by Eden falls2014 on 2018/11/26 13:45
I play drums in bands and always wondered how much noise we were making, Rock is loud! :)
Now I know !! But it’s also good for the subtle stuff. How loud are the neighbors’ parties, bird song, car engines. Really love the descriptions that pop up in the app too, quiet street, normal conversation etc.
Self explanatory app
by angel0511x on 2017/09/07 18:43
I only needed to measure the decibels of extreme noise generated by some endless works being carried out next door which was driving me insane. I wanted to have something tangible to show when I was confronted with the usual mantra: "Well, we all have different perception of noise" I am not an expert, but I found this app clear, intuitive and self explanatory. It perfectly fulfilled my basic requirements.
The report spoke by itself when I show it to builders with an average of 100db over a one hour period with two peaks of 108db and 114db respectively, enough to cause damage to the ear drum. The noise stopped.
Just what I need
by Katlin 115 on 2017/09/29 07:32
I am hard of hearing and am keen to avoid places where noise is likely to cause further hearing loss. I used this app very often but since updating to version 11 for iPhone all I got were meaningless squiggles. I wrote a review to this effect and quickly received a reply telling me how to effect a temporary fix whilst waiting for an updated version. The app is now working properly again and I cannot thank the developers enough for both the app and the service they provide. Brilliant! I am so pleased that I have paid to have adverts removed and to export data.
Excellent app, easy to use
by Cotswold Boy on 2018/04/30 12:36
There's nothing much to say about this, other than it's the best sound level meter app for iOS...it's very easy to use, the design is great, and it seems to be very accurate. Great for home, office, or out in the field - keep an ear on your work environment to make sure it's not too loud, because that can seriously damage your hearing long-term.
AVOID -fake- no cust service
by Jolly Rogére on 2020/10/01 19:55
This is a broken or fake app.
The thing records four seconds of decibels and then stops. Even when set to keep recording. Sky paw the maker don’t answer their email, or dm on Twitter, messageform on their supposed site takes you to an error message, and to “report a problem” from within the app requires you use Mail app downloading all your mail into your phone (it doesn’t work on imap) but then also glitches and doesn’t work. There’s no email anywhere to copy and paste into a mail even. Waste of your money. Good luck trying to get a refund and cancelling their monthly subscription too.
A fraud and ripoff, honestly don’t do this it feels like a data mining front and a security risk. I just wanted to record noisy neighbours over the course of a day. Complete waste
Great app. Sneakily misleading.
by auntiemavis on 2020/10/10 13:24
I love this app and use this with my music students every so often.
I opened it yesterday for the first time in a while and after it had been upgraded, only to be confronted with an ‘upgrade to premium’ pop up. It looked to be the only option to use the app with nothing to say that you can use it without premium.
I only realised that I could use it without the upgrade today.
I very nearly deleted it.
Love the app. Sneakily misleading.
Dose what I need and more
by SBDACIEH on 2019/10/28 05:03
I am a Environmental Health Practitioner this is handy to have as a sound meter in your pocket to decide if you need to install a sound meter in a noise complaint it would be interesting to know how accurate this is compared with the big expensive meters used for noise nuisance complaint investigations
Footwear manufacturers
by Bill Bird Shoes on 2017/11/20 18:47
When I was 16 I was in the Canadian artillery and as a result I wear hearing aids. Now I have a shoemaking workshop with employees who I don’t want to have wearing hearing aids when they’re my age. Whenever I see them on a machine I suspect might be too loud, it simply open this app and text it. Over 90 and on go the ear defenders!
Spoiled by intrusive ads.
by Alex MacPhee on 2018/01/22 00:42
It looked promising, but the intrusive ads that kept popping up were infuriating. Every single time I even looked at the settings, a full screen video would launch with accompanying sound, and it became impossible to use this app in any quiet situation without disturbing others with sudden noise and jingles that were locked for a minimum time. Regrettably, I'd to uninstall this app within a day of installing it because of its irritant value. It is now deleted.
Needs more functions
by Rich_hard1 on 2017/12/09 20:01
Very Handy Tool, it needs a basic tutorial, once each section is learned it doesn’t return until you switch back on in the settings. Also the data is only saved as time stamp, needs regional time stamp too, i actually got it for that reason, but soon realized it’s not present.
Must have for band members
by Eden falls2014 on 2018/11/26 13:45
I play drums in bands and always wondered how much noise we were making, Rock is loud! :)
Now I know !! But it’s also good for the subtle stuff. How loud are the neighbors’ parties, bird song, car engines. Really love the descriptions that pop up in the app too, quiet street, normal conversation etc.
Accuracy!
by Snow_Tiger on 2018/07/17 18:45
After checking its accuracy I bought the pro version without ads, its cheap so why not.
I tested this against my radio-shack meter, it was within 2db, you are able to adjust this, now it reads the same.
A nice interface, i find it very good for home theater audio testing, the average and peak levels are useful.
Just read up on A and C weighting and slow and fast, it is important to understand the differences and set the app up correctly, once done it is very accurate, great app!
Shame
by Kiwi digger on 2018/04/24 13:51
Within a minute of opening the app, an advert for a fantasy game took over the screen. Difficult to remove advert. Kept on popping up as trying to use app.
After several adverts in the space of mins I was asked if wanted to buy advert clear app. Had I been given more time to explore the app, I might have considered an upgrade on the merits of the app rather than to get rid of annoying advertisements.
So now how deleted the app.
Shame as app looked very good.
Good app, poor ads.
by admz8 on 2019/12/08 15:37
This is a great app and works very well. The design is great and the features appear to be decent. I do not wish to use this professionally, or that often. I would have paid to have ads removed for a small fee but £15 for the pro version seems pricey compared to other apps which are around £3 to remove ads.
Not obvious to cancel
by Sound doesn't work on 2019/08/10 09:22
I downloaded this app for the free trial and then tried to cancel it so I was not charged. It is not obvious in the settings at all where to cancel the free trial so I deleted the app as I couldn’t see anywhere to cancel it. I was then charged the monthly fee for the app. I have emailed the company to ask them to cancel my account and have had no response. Not bothered about the first charge, but would like to be able to cancel this so I’m not charged again.
Nowhere to playback
by Fah007 on 2019/10/01 15:59
This is an app I downloaded a while back to record and playback noises the neighbours were constantly making when I used to live in a flat. Recently wanted to use to playback some annoying central heating noise issues and can’t see where to playback what I have recorded.. complicated to use..
The best app of its kind - Accurate
by Andy67743334 on 2018/06/08 13:57
I’m a senior acoustic engineer and use this app non-professionally. I’ve found it accurate to within 0.3 dB on my iPhone SE!
Very cool being able to take photos to store SPL next to scene.
Potential improvements:
You could also include a ‘time to exposure damage’ as rough guide to encourage more hearing protection use.
Include a real time FFT, all in one app.
Allow recordings to be stored along side photos for reference.
Make it a full dual channel measurement system ;)
Subscription you cannot cancel
by Jay-ems on 2019/09/06 04:13
‘Cancel any time’ yet you click cancel, it redirects you to Apple, you click cancel it redirects you to the App Store - App Store doesn’t let you cancel without being at a laptop or desktop - if you don’t have these at hand you will never be able to cancel your subscription. For those without access to a PC or laptop you will have this subscription indefinitely.
Very good app.
by Windy Flue on 2018/04/08 00:27
I bought this as I was curious to find out what one of my wife’s sneezes could clock up. 127db! No wonder they hurt. The radiators in the living room act as a kind of plate reverb that carries on for about seven seconds.
Mr Prasanna
by prasanna_UK on 2019/09/25 19:28
1. It’s good to have some alarm when the sound reaches more than certain decibels
2. Instead of continuous monitoring, I would rather prefer poll for few secs.
3. Show me the time at which the sound has its peak
4. Would be nice if it can detect and categorise the voice as male or female voice
5. Some links to refer what may cause you future problems of speaking with such high voice
Probably works
by Hello3171 on 2017/09/27 12:54
It probably works, but is likely to be less accurate than it claims to be — all the way to a single decimal place? I doubt it! The interface has a particular design choice, and it is difficult to get to grips with. Why is there a camera feature?
Most importantly, I find great fault with the invasive video and interactive ads.
Terrible
by I love geography on 2018/07/25 10:29
This product is disgraceful and the sound quality is average as I can find a better product. I have advised my friends and A level peers not to use this as the quality is shocking. Furthermore, this products should be removed from the App Store if not improved and stabilised. In addition I have concluded not to use this app as it gives bad outcome
Thank you for your understanding
The most entertaining app out there
by Thor391 on 2018/03/15 19:17
It's awful because it makes kids quiet, it's about as fun as watching a dog get dipped into tar. We should have more apps like this out there👌🏾
Brilliant
by Fred a stair on 2017/12/20 04:38
I can’t stop using it...another great thing about this app...tilt your device into landscape mode, watch the constant alternating sound wave mimic, and you’ll be asleep in no time.
Interesting
by Solarday on 2020/08/30 08:10
Tried many different sounds checks my wife was right up there with kettle. 😮only kidding love her to bits and your apps great. 👍
Intrusive ads
by diggaboy200 on 2020/07/30 14:26
Initially one of the most useful apps, but definitely the app with the most intrusive, loud, repetitive, full-screen games ads.
Unfortunately, the frequency of the ads increased significantly, presumably to encourage me to buy the premium version. However, the increasing frequency and full-screen nature of the ads had the opposite effect - reluctantly decided to delete the app as it became unusable.
£3.99 a month subscription
by beemerr5 on 2020/05/14 05:26
Uninstalled within 5min. If I am paying £3.99 a month for an app for any professional use I would need calibration certificate and for casual user monthly payment is not worth it at all.
Total greed from developer. Go with one off pricing. I would have paid £4.99 and enjoyed the app. Have a look at the procreate and what they offer for fixed price.
Good but unclear on whether subscription
by Prz1729 on 2019/05/12 11:11
First time I opened the app it offered me a free trial - this made it look like a subscription only app. Opening it later it worked in free mode, with ads. Works very well
Nice app!
by Voodz85 on 2018/04/07 07:04
This app is very nicely done. Looks and works really good. Every update brings something new which is cool. Keep it that way and don’t mess it up.
Pitch perfect.
by RaVin2628 on 2018/12/09 11:44
I got this to record noise nuisance. Then I had a play with the app. It's turned out to be a really useful tool. Even tuning the tone of my M/C exhaust. 5 stars from me. Great suff.
Ok app
by Simbee on 2019/03/14 05:17
WhatsApp it’s okay for me and that’s what is written on the box but sometimes I feel that it is a little bit approximative and cannot compare it to another reading meter
Best decibel meter
by Nick Garland1961 on 2017/10/02 19:36
I have used a lot of free decibel metres in the past and this is by far the best. It updates fast and has a lot of other features!
Excellent app
by 001egbert on 2019/12/06 20:17
Works fine seems quite accurate
Rip off
by Miko Mayer on 2020/05/28 12:08
This developer removed the decibel function from their paid app Toolbox Pro and made this stand alone app with a subscription fee. So I had paid for the Toolbox Pro app, specifically for the decibel function, only to have it removed and put here for way more money. Wouldn’t buy another app from a company that is this unscrupulous.
Good but annoying ad bar
by FMN1 on 2020/04/29 14:10
Would give it 5* but the stupid ad bar at the top of the display is a total nuisance and is still there with ad blockers.
Great app but...
by David_10025 on 2018/12/29 00:44
I have already paid for it so why do I have to restore my purchase every time I use the app!!!
Invaluable tool
by Jairusdaughter on 2019/06/27 20:51
I use this everywhere and use my earplugs as needs
Good app but takes 5 times of swiping up to return to home
by thanosgr9 on 2021/03/07 11:33
The app is good but since a recent update there’s a but and you can’t go up unless you swipe up 5 times
Does the job, but took money and still show ads
by Waparty Networks Ltd. on 2018/06/03 20:52
Does the job, but took money and still show ads. Tried to restore purchase, but same :)
Nail on the head
by @Fresharda on 2019/09/23 08:26
Done exactly what I wanted it to do also very user friendly
Please explain how
by Richard_C47 on 2019/06/02 11:54
The microphone circuitry on iPhones and iPads have high pass filters. Does your app bypass this filtering? Also, do you compensate for the uneven frequency response of the inbuilt microphones on these devices? Does plugging in an external microphone help accuracy?
Now dissatisfied
by Griffo1956 on 2019/01/15 19:59
Had this for about a year & paid so got no add pop ups. However, having updated to latest version, now find that you have to pay 2.50 dollars per month to now obtain the weighted values that were included before. Plus, adverts have reappeared. Not very impressed!
Does what it claims
by hilltopoxon on 2018/01/28 16:37
This measures sound levels well so it does what is claimed. A small moan .... continual requests to upgrade to pro , if I say later wait 3 months not 3 hours .
Thanks for this
by Yeah.dude on 2018/03/22 23:19
It’s very good, great in fact but the ads spoil it.
I don’t want to upgrade because It does the job just fine as it is.
Best
by Smarty992 on 2018/08/02 20:36
This is the best dB meter I’ve ever known, I have tried 28 in my singing career, and none of them at the decibel rating accurately, except this one
Greedy
by chris4stars on 2019/02/13 22:08
I paid for the ‘pro’ version of this app 4/5 months ago. With the new update, ads are back and I’m expected to pay a monthly subscription? Nice way to treat the customers who paid for it in the first place 👎🏻
Does its job well
by Erakine May on 2017/08/05 08:32
An easy to use app that I recommend - but the ads are a bit intrusive
Useless
by Bellaroma83 on 2018/05/31 05:56
Stops working and freezes after a couple of uses and only responds if it appears as if you’re attempting to upgrade to the pro version....operated like a true business! Disappointing and useless.
Great app
by Nick🍑 on 2017/11/16 22:24
I love this app. It's accurate and easy to use.
Not sure what the pro version adds more than this version?
Crashes constantly
by TVLK on 2019/01/28 15:19
This app crashes constantly, even after a reinstall.

App name
Description
"decibel x" is one of very few noise meter apps on the market that has highly reliable, pre-calibrated measurements and supports dBA, dBC. It turns your iOS device into a professional sound level meter, precisely measures the sound pressure level (SPL) all around you. This extremely useful and beautiful tool will not only be a great tool for many uses but also bring you a lot of fun. Have you wondered how quiet is your room or how loud is a rock concert or sport event? "decibel x" will help you answer all of those.
WHAT MAKE IT GREAT AND STAND OUT FROM OTHER APPS:
- Trusted accuracy: the app is tested and pre calibrated for all Apple devices. The precision is matching with real SPL devices
- Apple Watch support: see noise level right from your wrist
- Health App integration: export noise levels directly into Health app.
- Frequency weighting filters: ITU-R 468, A, B, C, Z
- Powerful, smart history data management:
+ Recording data can be saved into a list of history records for future access and analysis
+ Each record can be exported as hi-res PNG graph or CSV text via sharing services
+ iCloud support which synchronize all history records across your Apple devices
+ Fullscreen mode to give overview the whole history of an record
- Dosimeter with NIOSH, OSHA standards
- FFT and BAR graphs to display real time FFT. Those are very useful for frequency analysis and musical tests. Real time predominant frequency is also displayed.
- WAVE graph with 2 display modes: Rolling & Buffer
- InstaDecibel to capture your dB report overlaid on photos and easily shared via popular social networks (Facebook, Instagram, Messages, etc.).
- Support both Portrait and Landscape layouts
- Beautiful, intuitive and carefully crafted UI design
- Optimized for iOS 11
OTHER GREAT FEATURES:
- Standard time weightings (Response Time): SLOW (500 milliseconds) and FAST (200 milliseconds)
- Trimming calibration from -15 dB to 15 dB
- Standard measurement range from 30 dBA up to 130 dBA
- HISTO graph for plotted history of the recorded values
- Real time scale level chart
- Display Current, Average/Leq, and Max values with both nice and clear digital and analog layouts
- Quick reference text to help you compare with real-life examples
- "Keep Device Stay Awake" option for long duration recording
- Reset and clear current recording at any time
- Tap on Max value to reset at any time
- Pause/Resume the tool at any time
NOTES:
- Please do not expect a quiet room reading will be 0 dBA. The range 30-130 dBA is the standard usable range and an average quiet room will be about 30 dBA.
- Although all devices are pre-calibrated, custom calibration is suggested for serious purposes requiring higher precision and accuracy. You will need a real external device or calibrated sound meter as a reference, then adjust the trimming calibration until the reading matches with the reference.

Monthly subscription?!
by Adrian26Th on 2021/04/12 22:59
For a simple utility app?!
Too many ads.
by Moi 1979 on 2021/04/02 15:40
This used to be great and I have used it for live music events. Unfortunately it is now full of ads, so next to useless. Shame.

Used to be good
by DJgnome on 2021/02/15 07:56
This app used to be good - then the adverts started. I have no problem with free apps dropping the occasional advert, we all have to keep the lights on. But literally everything is proceeded with an ad. Uninstalled for that reason.

A bit sneaky - be careful .... !!!

Very disappointed

Not a pleased fella tonight
by CroydonKen on 2020/10/20 10:30
Tried recording the dessibells of my lawn mower cuz it was so loud. It didn’t even work sill Turdus app. Don’t download.
Great app. Sneakily misleading.
by auntiemavis on 2020/10/10 13:24
I love this app and use this with my music students every so often.
I opened it yesterday for the first time in a while and after it had been upgraded, only to be confronted with an ‘upgrade to premium’ pop up. It looked to be the only option to use the app with nothing to say that you can use it without premium.
I only realised that I could use it without the upgrade today.
I very nearly deleted it.
Love the app. Sneakily misleading.
Sounds
by frankysGD on 2020/10/08 22:18
Brill unit, stops my neighbours moaning. I use it to register noise in my room.
My neighbours don’t realise how much noise they make.
But what the hell.
I always keep it in the blue
But they still complain.
Good guide. Thanks
AVOID -fake- no cust service
by Jolly Rogére on 2020/10/01 19:55
This is a broken or fake app.
The thing records four seconds of decibels and then stops. Even when set to keep recording. Sky paw the maker don’t answer their email, or dm on Twitter, messageform on their supposed site takes you to an error message, and to “report a problem” from within the app requires you use Mail app downloading all your mail into your phone (it doesn’t work on imap) but then also glitches and doesn’t work. There’s no email anywhere to copy and paste into a mail even. Waste of your money. Good luck trying to get a refund and cancelling their monthly subscription too.
A fraud and ripoff, honestly don’t do this it feels like a data mining front and a security risk. I just wanted to record noisy neighbours over the course of a day. Complete waste
Brilliantly Accurate
by Hyper10 on 2020/09/13 20:07
Combined against a calibrated machine and literally no difference
Not worth it!

Intrusive ads
by diggaboy200 on 2020/07/30 14:26
Initially one of the most useful apps, but definitely the app with the most intrusive, loud, repetitive, full-screen games ads.
Unfortunately, the frequency of the ads increased significantly, presumably to encourage me to buy the premium version. However, the increasing frequency and full-screen nature of the ads had the opposite effect - reluctantly decided to delete the app as it became unusable.
Non reliable
by Jonauz on 2020/07/22 17:32
Comes as free, but first page instantly presents buy. I don't even know if it works. Also not planning to use trials just to signup and later need to hassle to cancel subscriptions on time!

Should clearly say 3 day trial only after accepting subscription
by ateeqaa on 2020/07/11 09:33
Uninstalled immediately
Misleading - this is. 3 day free trial
by t-m-a-z on 2020/07/04 20:32
This should be stated explicitly. Wasted time downloading this app to find it’s a 3 day free trial only. I’m sure they do this to inflate their download stats.
Awesome decibel app
by Cetacean63 on 2020/06/24 03:22
Very pleased with this app as on my iPhone it gives me a graph as well as a needle reading, thanks.
Rip off
by Miko Mayer on 2020/05/28 12:08
This developer removed the decibel function from their paid app Toolbox Pro and made this stand alone app with a subscription fee. So I had paid for the Toolbox Pro app, specifically for the decibel function, only to have it removed and put here for way more money. Wouldn’t buy another app from a company that is this unscrupulous.
Can’t Submit
by S.D.F.Doyle on 2020/05/20 10:48
Won’t play audio file, export sends a blank message, no support, no trouble shooting. Can’t give a Zero rating so unfortunately it had to get 1. Wouldn’t even let me review with the title poor.
£3.99 a month subscription
by beemerr5 on 2020/05/14 05:26
Uninstalled within 5min. If I am paying £3.99 a month for an app for any professional use I would need calibration certificate and for casual user monthly payment is not worth it at all.
Total greed from developer. Go with one off pricing. I would have paid £4.99 and enjoyed the app. Have a look at the procreate and what they offer for fixed price.
Good but annoying ad bar
by FMN1 on 2020/04/29 14:10
Would give it 5* but the stupid ad bar at the top of the display is a total nuisance and is still there with ad blockers.
Toooo many ads and not clear how to it works

Good app, poor ads.
by admz8 on 2019/12/08 15:37
This is a great app and works very well. The design is great and the features appear to be decent. I do not wish to use this professionally, or that often. I would have paid to have ads removed for a small fee but £15 for the pro version seems pricey compared to other apps which are around £3 to remove ads.
Excellent app
by 001egbert on 2019/12/06 20:17
Works fine seems quite accurate
Good with a trick
by alabastro16374839 on 2019/11/29 23:18
The first screen encourages to start a three day trial and is designed so that the user may be tricked into accepting it instead of skipping it
It should be made easy to skip.
App seems to work great.
C weighting should be default.
Some more details on the meaning of the data in the dosimeter would be beneficial to occasional users concerned for their hearing health
Pretty Crippled
by Miffed64674587 on 2019/11/27 16:01
Endless ads, and then it turns out that £3.99 fee is not one-off but a monthly recurring subscription. Insane!
It works well, but is hobbled without purchase, and overpriced if you do succumb.
A bit of a con
by disgruntled from the north on 2019/11/12 18:10
I downloaded the app only to discover after I had done so that there would be a monthly charge for using it after the first 3 days. There was notifying to indicate this before it was downloaded
I’ve deleted the app
Can’t be tested without agreeing to subscription.

by SBDACIEH on 2019/10/28 05:03
I am a Environmental Health Practitioner this is handy to have as a sound meter in your pocket to decide if you need to install a sound meter in a noise complaint it would be interesting to know how accurate this is compared with the big expensive meters used for noise nuisance complaint investigations
Trial required.
by nicholaspb on 2019/10/21 09:55
Description is misleading.
Do not use if you don’t want to pay £3.99 PER MONTH.
Daylight robbery.
Not worth £3.99 a month
by Messybynature on 2019/10/20 15:25
Apple are already doing one fee on the watch and hopefully on the phone. Alternatively go out and buy one from a hardware or shop, it works out cheaper.
Very Good

Nowhere to playback
by Fah007 on 2019/10/01 15:59
This is an app I downloaded a while back to record and playback noises the neighbours were constantly making when I used to live in a flat. Recently wanted to use to playback some annoying central heating noise issues and can’t see where to playback what I have recorded.. complicated to use..
Subscription
by Sunny020989 on 2019/09/29 04:05
Can’t cancel my subscription at all!!! Be careful! Have contacted apple support several times-no response.
Cancelling impossible
by Jam? on 2019/09/28 22:42
I’m trying to cancel the subscription but it doesn’t appear anywhere within my accounts! Very frustrating as the app does look too good, but I refuse to give it a chance if I’m forced to subscribe!
Mr Prasanna
by prasanna_UK on 2019/09/25 19:28
1. It’s good to have some alarm when the sound reaches more than certain decibels
2. Instead of continuous monitoring, I would rather prefer poll for few secs.
3. Show me the time at which the sound has its peak
4. Would be nice if it can detect and categorise the voice as male or female voice
5. Some links to refer what may cause you future problems of speaking with such high voice

Subscription you cannot cancel
by Jay-ems on 2019/09/06 04:13
‘Cancel any time’ yet you click cancel, it redirects you to Apple, you click cancel it redirects you to the App Store - App Store doesn’t let you cancel without being at a laptop or desktop - if you don’t have these at hand you will never be able to cancel your subscription. For those without access to a PC or laptop you will have this subscription indefinitely.

Not obvious to cancel
by Sound doesn't work on 2019/08/10 09:22
I downloaded this app for the free trial and then tried to cancel it so I was not charged. It is not obvious in the settings at all where to cancel the free trial so I deleted the app as I couldn’t see anywhere to cancel it. I was then charged the monthly fee for the app. I have emailed the company to ask them to cancel my account and have had no response. Not bothered about the first charge, but would like to be able to cancel this so I’m not charged again.
Decent, but tricked into paying
by Dustyrose666 on 2019/08/05 09:01
Decent decibel meter app. But promised 3-day free trial, and when I went to try to remove the app before 3 days were up I was informed “payment successfully”. Naughty.
3 day trial only
by nickname-MIA on 2019/07/19 18:50
Deceptive - expect this to be declared clearly up front prior to download. (May have been in fine print but undermines trust from the start.)

A scam to get money out of you
Please explain how
by Richard_C47 on 2019/06/02 11:54
The microphone circuitry on iPhones and iPads have high pass filters. Does your app bypass this filtering? Also, do you compensate for the uneven frequency response of the inbuilt microphones on these devices? Does plugging in an external microphone help accuracy?
Paid for the Pro version and now back to the basic.!

Good but unclear on whether subscription
by Prz1729 on 2019/05/12 11:11
First time I opened the app it offered me a free trial - this made it look like a subscription only app. Opening it later it worked in free mode, with ads. Works very well
Tricks you into a paid subscription on launch
by Bruce Boughton on 2019/04/24 20:10
Very sneaky. Luckily I noticed so I will cancel it.
Subscription
by hurnan. on 2019/03/15 06:18
App forces you to sign up for a free trial to use it, then when you want to cancel the subscription there is no way to do so within the app. I was charged for the new paid subscription days before the trial period end!
Ok app
by Simbee on 2019/03/14 05:17
WhatsApp it’s okay for me and that’s what is written on the box but sometimes I feel that it is a little bit approximative and cannot compare it to another reading meter
Subscribe membership?
by Archengzi on 2019/02/16 16:28

Greedy
by chris4stars on 2019/02/13 22:08
I paid for the ‘pro’ version of this app 4/5 months ago. With the new update, ads are back and I’m expected to pay a monthly subscription? Nice way to treat the customers who paid for it in the first place 👎🏻
How do I cancel this app?!!!

Why the ads?
by Ffffhrdxjdwf on 2019/01/15 23:09
I paid for the upgrade some time ago so that I could use the various weightings but now I’m getting very irritating ads interrupting my use of what is otherwise a good app. Very disappointed with the change.
Have tried again and discovered that I have to restore previous purchase every time I open the app to get rid of ads but can only do this after having to wait for an ad to finish. Come on sort this out!
29/12/18 You have updated the app yesterday but I’m still having to restore my purchase every time I open the app to get rid of annoying ads.
15/01/19 still not resolved. “One off payment”- joke
Now dissatisfied
by Griffo1956 on 2019/01/15 19:59
Had this for about a year & paid so got no add pop ups. However, having updated to latest version, now find that you have to pay 2.50 dollars per month to now obtain the weighted values that were included before. Plus, adverts have reappeared. Not very impressed!
Great app but...
by David_10025 on 2018/12/29 00:44

Pitch perfect.
by RaVin2628 on 2018/12/09 11:44
I got this to record noise nuisance. Then I had a play with the app. It's turned out to be a really useful tool. Even tuning the tone of my M/C exhaust. 5 stars from me. Great suff.

Must have for band members
by Eden falls2014 on 2018/11/26 13:45
I play drums in bands and always wondered how much noise we were making, Rock is loud! :)
Now I know !! But it’s also good for the subtle stuff. How loud are the neighbors’ parties, bird song, car engines. Really love the descriptions that pop up in the app too, quiet street, normal conversation etc.
Self explanatory app
by angel0511x on 2017/09/07 18:43
I only needed to measure the decibels of extreme noise generated by some endless works being carried out next door which was driving me insane. I wanted to have something tangible to show when I was confronted with the usual mantra: "Well, we all have different perception of noise" I am not an expert, but I found this app clear, intuitive and self explanatory. It perfectly fulfilled my basic requirements.
The report spoke by itself when I show it to builders with an average of 100db over a one hour period with two peaks of 108db and 114db respectively, enough to cause damage to the ear drum. The noise stopped.
Just what I need
by Katlin 115 on 2017/09/29 07:32
I am hard of hearing and am keen to avoid places where noise is likely to cause further hearing loss. I used this app very often but since updating to version 11 for iPhone all I got were meaningless squiggles. I wrote a review to this effect and quickly received a reply telling me how to effect a temporary fix whilst waiting for an updated version. The app is now working properly again and I cannot thank the developers enough for both the app and the service they provide. Brilliant! I am so pleased that I have paid to have adverts removed and to export data.
Excellent app, easy to use
by Cotswold Boy on 2018/04/30 12:36
There's nothing much to say about this, other than it's the best sound level meter app for iOS...it's very easy to use, the design is great, and it seems to be very accurate. Great for home, office, or out in the field - keep an ear on your work environment to make sure it's not too loud, because that can seriously damage your hearing long-term.

Sky paw the maker don’t answer their email, or dm on Twitter, messageform on their supposed site takes you to an error message, and to “report a problem” from within the app requires you use Mail app downloading all your mail into your phone (it doesn’t work on imap) but then also glitches and doesn’t work. There’s no email anywhere to copy and paste into a mail even. Waste of your money. Good luck trying to get a refund and cancelling their monthly subscription too.
A fraud and ripoff, honestly don’t do this it feels like a data mining front and a security risk. I just wanted to record noisy neighbours over the course of a day. Complete waste
Great app. Sneakily misleading.
by auntiemavis on 2020/10/10 13:24
I love this app and use this with my music students every so often.
I opened it yesterday for the first time in a while and after it had been upgraded, only to be confronted with an ‘upgrade to premium’ pop up. It looked to be the only option to use the app with nothing to say that you can use it without premium.
I only realised that I could use it without the upgrade today.
I very nearly deleted it.
Love the app. Sneakily misleading.
Dose what I need and more
by SBDACIEH on 2019/10/28 05:03
I am a Environmental Health Practitioner this is handy to have as a sound meter in your pocket to decide if you need to install a sound meter in a noise complaint it would be interesting to know how accurate this is compared with the big expensive meters used for noise nuisance complaint investigations
Footwear manufacturers
by Bill Bird Shoes on 2017/11/20 18:47
When I was 16 I was in the Canadian artillery and as a result I wear hearing aids. Now I have a shoemaking workshop with employees who I don’t want to have wearing hearing aids when they’re my age. Whenever I see them on a machine I suspect might be too loud, it simply open this app and text it. Over 90 and on go the ear defenders!
Spoiled by intrusive ads.
by Alex MacPhee on 2018/01/22 00:42
It looked promising, but the intrusive ads that kept popping up were infuriating. Every single time I even looked at the settings, a full screen video would launch with accompanying sound, and it became impossible to use this app in any quiet situation without disturbing others with sudden noise and jingles that were locked for a minimum time. Regrettably, I'd to uninstall this app within a day of installing it because of its irritant value. It is now deleted.
Needs more functions
by Rich_hard1 on 2017/12/09 20:01
Very Handy Tool, it needs a basic tutorial, once each section is learned it doesn’t return until you switch back on in the settings. Also the data is only saved as time stamp, needs regional time stamp too, i actually got it for that reason, but soon realized it’s not present.
Must have for band members
by Eden falls2014 on 2018/11/26 13:45
I play drums in bands and always wondered how much noise we were making, Rock is loud! :)
Now I know !! But it’s also good for the subtle stuff. How loud are the neighbors’ parties, bird song, car engines. Really love the descriptions that pop up in the app too, quiet street, normal conversation etc.
Accuracy!
by Snow_Tiger on 2018/07/17 18:45
After checking its accuracy I bought the pro version without ads, its cheap so why not.
I tested this against my radio-shack meter, it was within 2db, you are able to adjust this, now it reads the same.
A nice interface, i find it very good for home theater audio testing, the average and peak levels are useful.
Just read up on A and C weighting and slow and fast, it is important to understand the differences and set the app up correctly, once done it is very accurate, great app!
Shame
by Kiwi digger on 2018/04/24 13:51
Within a minute of opening the app, an advert for a fantasy game took over the screen. Difficult to remove advert. Kept on popping up as trying to use app.
After several adverts in the space of mins I was asked if wanted to buy advert clear app. Had I been given more time to explore the app, I might have considered an upgrade on the merits of the app rather than to get rid of annoying advertisements.
So now how deleted the app.
Shame as app looked very good.
Good app, poor ads.
by admz8 on 2019/12/08 15:37
This is a great app and works very well. The design is great and the features appear to be decent. I do not wish to use this professionally, or that often. I would have paid to have ads removed for a small fee but £15 for the pro version seems pricey compared to other apps which are around £3 to remove ads.
Not obvious to cancel
by Sound doesn't work on 2019/08/10 09:22
I downloaded this app for the free trial and then tried to cancel it so I was not charged. It is not obvious in the settings at all where to cancel the free trial so I deleted the app as I couldn’t see anywhere to cancel it. I was then charged the monthly fee for the app. I have emailed the company to ask them to cancel my account and have had no response. Not bothered about the first charge, but would like to be able to cancel this so I’m not charged again.
Nowhere to playback
by Fah007 on 2019/10/01 15:59
This is an app I downloaded a while back to record and playback noises the neighbours were constantly making when I used to live in a flat. Recently wanted to use to playback some annoying central heating noise issues and can’t see where to playback what I have recorded.. complicated to use..
The best app of its kind - Accurate
by Andy67743334 on 2018/06/08 13:57
I’m a senior acoustic engineer and use this app non-professionally. I’ve found it accurate to within 0.3 dB on my iPhone SE!
Very cool being able to take photos to store SPL next to scene.
Potential improvements:
You could also include a ‘time to exposure damage’ as rough guide to encourage more hearing protection use.
Include a real time FFT, all in one app.
Allow recordings to be stored along side photos for reference.
Make it a full dual channel measurement system ;)
Subscription you cannot cancel
by Jay-ems on 2019/09/06 04:13
‘Cancel any time’ yet you click cancel, it redirects you to Apple, you click cancel it redirects you to the App Store - App Store doesn’t let you cancel without being at a laptop or desktop - if you don’t have these at hand you will never be able to cancel your subscription. For those without access to a PC or laptop you will have this subscription indefinitely.
Very good app.
by Windy Flue on 2018/04/08 00:27
I bought this as I was curious to find out what one of my wife’s sneezes could clock up. 127db! No wonder they hurt. The radiators in the living room act as a kind of plate reverb that carries on for about seven seconds.
Mr Prasanna
by prasanna_UK on 2019/09/25 19:28
1. It’s good to have some alarm when the sound reaches more than certain decibels
2. Instead of continuous monitoring, I would rather prefer poll for few secs.
3. Show me the time at which the sound has its peak
4. Would be nice if it can detect and categorise the voice as male or female voice
5. Some links to refer what may cause you future problems of speaking with such high voice
Probably works
by Hello3171 on 2017/09/27 12:54
It probably works, but is likely to be less accurate than it claims to be — all the way to a single decimal place? I doubt it! The interface has a particular design choice, and it is difficult to get to grips with. Why is there a camera feature?
Most importantly, I find great fault with the invasive video and interactive ads.
Terrible
by I love geography on 2018/07/25 10:29
This product is disgraceful and the sound quality is average as I can find a better product. I have advised my friends and A level peers not to use this as the quality is shocking. Furthermore, this products should be removed from the App Store if not improved and stabilised. In addition I have concluded not to use this app as it gives bad outcome
Thank you for your understanding
The most entertaining app out there
by Thor391 on 2018/03/15 19:17
It's awful because it makes kids quiet, it's about as fun as watching a dog get dipped into tar. We should have more apps like this out there👌🏾
Brilliant
by Fred a stair on 2017/12/20 04:38
I can’t stop using it...another great thing about this app...tilt your device into landscape mode, watch the constant alternating sound wave mimic, and you’ll be asleep in no time.
Interesting
by Solarday on 2020/08/30 08:10
Tried many different sounds checks my wife was right up there with kettle. 😮only kidding love her to bits and your apps great. 👍
Intrusive ads
by diggaboy200 on 2020/07/30 14:26
Initially one of the most useful apps, but definitely the app with the most intrusive, loud, repetitive, full-screen games ads.
Unfortunately, the frequency of the ads increased significantly, presumably to encourage me to buy the premium version. However, the increasing frequency and full-screen nature of the ads had the opposite effect - reluctantly decided to delete the app as it became unusable.
£3.99 a month subscription
by beemerr5 on 2020/05/14 05:26
Uninstalled within 5min. If I am paying £3.99 a month for an app for any professional use I would need calibration certificate and for casual user monthly payment is not worth it at all.
Total greed from developer. Go with one off pricing. I would have paid £4.99 and enjoyed the app. Have a look at the procreate and what they offer for fixed price.
Good but unclear on whether subscription
by Prz1729 on 2019/05/12 11:11
First time I opened the app it offered me a free trial - this made it look like a subscription only app. Opening it later it worked in free mode, with ads. Works very well
Nice app!
by Voodz85 on 2018/04/07 07:04
This app is very nicely done. Looks and works really good. Every update brings something new which is cool. Keep it that way and don’t mess it up.
Pitch perfect.
by RaVin2628 on 2018/12/09 11:44
I got this to record noise nuisance. Then I had a play with the app. It's turned out to be a really useful tool. Even tuning the tone of my M/C exhaust. 5 stars from me. Great suff.
Ok app
by Simbee on 2019/03/14 05:17
WhatsApp it’s okay for me and that’s what is written on the box but sometimes I feel that it is a little bit approximative and cannot compare it to another reading meter
Best decibel meter
by Nick Garland1961 on 2017/10/02 19:36
I have used a lot of free decibel metres in the past and this is by far the best. It updates fast and has a lot of other features!
Excellent app
by 001egbert on 2019/12/06 20:17
Works fine seems quite accurate
Rip off
by Miko Mayer on 2020/05/28 12:08
This developer removed the decibel function from their paid app Toolbox Pro and made this stand alone app with a subscription fee. So I had paid for the Toolbox Pro app, specifically for the decibel function, only to have it removed and put here for way more money. Wouldn’t buy another app from a company that is this unscrupulous.
Good but annoying ad bar
by FMN1 on 2020/04/29 14:10
Would give it 5* but the stupid ad bar at the top of the display is a total nuisance and is still there with ad blockers.
Great app but...
by David_10025 on 2018/12/29 00:44
I have already paid for it so why do I have to restore my purchase every time I use the app!!!
Invaluable tool
by Jairusdaughter on 2019/06/27 20:51
I use this everywhere and use my earplugs as needs
Good app but takes 5 times of swiping up to return to home
by thanosgr9 on 2021/03/07 11:33
The app is good but since a recent update there’s a but and you can’t go up unless you swipe up 5 times
Does the job, but took money and still show ads
by Waparty Networks Ltd. on 2018/06/03 20:52
Does the job, but took money and still show ads. Tried to restore purchase, but same :)
Nail on the head
by @Fresharda on 2019/09/23 08:26
Done exactly what I wanted it to do also very user friendly
Please explain how
by Richard_C47 on 2019/06/02 11:54
The microphone circuitry on iPhones and iPads have high pass filters. Does your app bypass this filtering? Also, do you compensate for the uneven frequency response of the inbuilt microphones on these devices? Does plugging in an external microphone help accuracy?
Now dissatisfied
by Griffo1956 on 2019/01/15 19:59
Had this for about a year & paid so got no add pop ups. However, having updated to latest version, now find that you have to pay 2.50 dollars per month to now obtain the weighted values that were included before. Plus, adverts have reappeared. Not very impressed!
Does what it claims
by hilltopoxon on 2018/01/28 16:37
This measures sound levels well so it does what is claimed. A small moan .... continual requests to upgrade to pro , if I say later wait 3 months not 3 hours .
Thanks for this
by Yeah.dude on 2018/03/22 23:19
It’s very good, great in fact but the ads spoil it.
I don’t want to upgrade because It does the job just fine as it is.
Best
by Smarty992 on 2018/08/02 20:36
This is the best dB meter I’ve ever known, I have tried 28 in my singing career, and none of them at the decibel rating accurately, except this one
Greedy
by chris4stars on 2019/02/13 22:08
I paid for the ‘pro’ version of this app 4/5 months ago. With the new update, ads are back and I’m expected to pay a monthly subscription? Nice way to treat the customers who paid for it in the first place 👎🏻
Does its job well
by Erakine May on 2017/08/05 08:32
An easy to use app that I recommend - but the ads are a bit intrusive
Useless
by Bellaroma83 on 2018/05/31 05:56
Stops working and freezes after a couple of uses and only responds if it appears as if you’re attempting to upgrade to the pro version....operated like a true business! Disappointing and useless.
Great app
by Nick🍑 on 2017/11/16 22:24
I love this app. It's accurate and easy to use.
Not sure what the pro version adds more than this version?
Crashes constantly
by TVLK on 2019/01/28 15:19
This app crashes constantly, even after a reinstall.
