Decibels App Reviews

No fuss, no wait. Tested, result like a Pro. Most used

Otimo app

Measuring incorrect.

I think most people complain as we would expect a normal quiet room to be 0 decibel . Was myself surprised to see my home at 50 decibel but when the train passes it quickly registers an 80 to 90 decibels ..great Great

If you work with audio you will enjoy this simple clean app. The developer did a really nice job!

It works, not sure how accurate it actually is, but with a little investigation Im sure Ill find out, 3 stars. Needs a list of deci readings in app itself like the description has in store.

For a free app i found this also very impressive. It picked up the Faint noice of a car passing more than 70 feet from my window. Not really sure how i would apply this information except if i was working as thr "noise police" at a Beiber concert...KEEP IT DOWN!!!

The app must be flipable so that the mic is up when using it. Also a fast response would be nice. Even some lettering on the display would fill up the vast space on the display. But it does work.

Really clean and appears to respond to like a professional sound meter. Having experience with audio mixing and recording this is a great app. Would like to see the empty space below meter with example of sound threshold for human ears. Accuracy?? - well I have to check on that. I am sure it is close enough Looking forward to the upgrade!!!

I agree with the other reviewers that the interface could use a little more, but on the whole it seems to be fairly accurate. I was testing it while mixing at church. A fast response would be nice. Also an "A" and "C" weighting switch would be very helpful since the mic picks up the frequencies different from your ears. (ie. A Bass guitar might have an absolute sound pressure of 85db but your ears would hear it at 75db). But all in all, I like it and appreciate that its free!

Really easy and simple to use. Not sure how acurate are the readings though.

Works exactly as described. Would make a few alterations; -Screen flips when held with mic in the upright position -Add a peak meter needle for sound spikes -In appropriate font add some details to the body of the "unit", such as authors name, refresh rate, or other useful info. -Perhaps an option to read in digital with a variable refresh rate?

Should be able to go beyond 100 decibels though...

Ive been using it often to see how various household appliances affect noise levels... Would have been nice while apartment hunting. ;) Addition of a retina display icon to the bundle would be much appreciated.

This app works ok, but it doesnt provide any reference to tell you equivalents. For example, I told my husband that I thought the cabin noise of our current car was quite high. So I whipped out my handy iPhone app to find out just how loud it is. I got a reading of 85db but then I tried to figure out what that is equivalent to and there was no facility to do that. I had to go to the app store to look them up here (as there are examples provided with the app advertising). I would suggest adding in some kind if reference do that the app is more useful.

Overall a great app that does what it says it does. Adding a digital display, a peak measurement and a plot of the data would be great.

Definitely responsive to changes in ambient sound and sudden noise. Im not sure of the accuracy but can be interesting to check. Digital readout, high and low session records would be useful- looking forward to those kind of updates!

It wont go higher than 100 db though.

This app works very good compared to another one I tried. Tested it against a sound meter I use at work and it read the same, and that is a calibrated sound meter on A scale.

Just would be nice to add at the bottom the results in digital numbers as well, very accurate tho
