Reviews for Sound Decibel Meter

I guess I need to look into whether or not this app incorporates low frequencies. I tested my trick stereo which consisted of one 12, and 4 6x9 with a total of 450 watts. I scored 118db. I never tested it without the subwoofers. it is very responsive and does exactly what it need to do.

Unless you agree to all of the pre-arranged advertisements and personal data sharing in the initial window, you will be unable to access any features of the app. Alternatively, you can choose to purchase the ad-free version, which is very reasonably priced. It raises concerns about the transparency of the options presented to users, as it appears that the decision has already been determined by the app's creators. This approach can be viewed as somewhat misleading.

Random pop-up adds with sound that can't be skipped for several seconds while I'm trying to take a measurement. The app doesn't really give a choice for add preferences. You either consent to share your personal data or pay for the add-free version.

Sadly I must give it 1 star cause I couldn't even test it for free or have a trial. The initial experience is extremely frustrating and annoying as some people mentioned. Either you use the app with full personalized ads or pay the (small) price. But why not let the user decide if personalized or not? IT IS OUR CHOICE! If you, as the dev don't like it, then have NO free version. Period. EDIT: I installed another app that uses sames ads engine, but it works great.

The app loads quick, but goes to an advertisement within seconds. The app should still run in the background during the non-sound ad, but nope. Tried to listen to how loud fighter jets were, as they took off, but NOTHING! The app wasn't working in the background, and even worse, it just locked up and wouldn't work at all. The developer put a handy button to reset it, but that's even more useless. While it does reset the split-second of info it registered before the ad, then app does nothin!

Constant ad dump makes this app extremely annoying to use. Literally the popup ad interval is 10 to 15 seconds, with the banner ad always present. Also seems to read a bit high compared to multiple apps across multiple phones. The app itself is decent, but it's hardly good enough to overcome the constant ads. Avoid this, there are multiple better apps.

Simple to use. Hasn't fallen into the dreaded creating feature trap. It just does what it says, no more. The unabstrusive ad bar is no problem. People who expect completely free apps. are ridiculous. You should get paid for your work. I'm sure they would. Is it lab grade accuracy? I don't know, probably not. If you want lab accuracy you need to be willing to pay lab grade prices. Good job folks.

I like the simplicity and usefulness of this app, BUT.... The ads! I nt mind the ads if they will show up quietly, but the first one is quiet, and then one with audio shows up and the button to skip the video becomesslow to respond, this prolonging the play time of the video. I want to pay to stop the ads, but not sure if there'll be any additional value to gain...

Ridiculous. I'm checking how loud it is so I can make sure the white nose machine isn't loud enough to affect my newborn's hearing. After a few seconds, the LOUDEST ad interrupts and shocks my newborn awake as the booming sound goes directly into her ear as I hold the phone and she's sleeping on my lap. There needs to be either pic ads (without sound) or at least a warning to turn off the volume if you don't want to hear ads. This is a sound checking app. It should not be creating excess sounds.

not very accurate. it regularly posts levels around 20 decibels higher than actual. it is also not the easiest thing to read st a glance. I had much better success with the Sound meter App from "Creative Gigs". it posted much closer to the actual sound level, is easy to read, and actually tells you what the sound is coming from with decent accuracy. if the devs worked on these issues, it would be a much better app.

It is basic, however it is exactly what I needed - a sound meter. The truth is all these apps track you. This is why many companies encourage, coerce or make it very painful to use their website. The trackers collect your information and sell it. An app does this without any shame whether it is in use or not. When you agreed to the install is when you agreed to it. I started using a tracker blocker yesterday and it has already blocked 400.

The app gives consistent decibel values when using it on my Pixel 2 XL, so the basics are solid. It's not my favorite, but I have Play Pass so I take advantage of how simple it is. 4 Stars: Considering it's not completely free, it would be nice to have some more features like logging or more control over the view. There are other completely free apps that give more detailed real-time information on the sound around you. It's consistent, so the dev certainly has an accurate start to build on.

So many obtrusive ads that it is almost unusable. Upon opening you get a lower third ad that needs to be minimized, then a few seconds later is a full screen ad with a timer before you can close it, then came an ad to pay to remove ads. Then every 30 seconds or so a full screen timed ad pops up. Otherwise the app looked pretty good, I just can't stand the ads it get in enough time to tell how well the app actually measures sounds.

Ads, ads, and more ads. I don't mind an ad to support something, but this might be the most ad intensive app i have ever used. Banner ad at the bottom, then every 30 seconds, a full screen ad comes up, and guess what? Most of the those have sound! That, of course, breaks up your sound testing. Takes two clicks to close the ad, tapping on your phone will record sound and mess with your capture graph again. Insane. No thanks.

Works perfectly. Idk why people are saying it doesn't measure sound while ads are displayed or that it's difficult to read at a glance. Not seeing either of those issues. Current reading is displayed simultaneously in digital and analog format as well as minimum, average, maximum and graphing for a session. And this is an extremely inexpensive app at $1.99 if you prefer ad-free. App development costs money. Small price to pay for this quality and stability.

The dial and needle is nice,we are all familiar with this type of indicator, it's easy to see and remember registered,just like when I looking at the speedometer in the car while driving. Moreover this sound meter app seems more accurate compare with other fancy looking ones. Thank you for let me use it for free. Highly recommended for casual use.

First thing that pops up is a privacy disclaimer. No problem. I refuse all optional cookies and confirm my choices. Then an free (with ads) and a paid (no ads) option pops up. No problem I'll go free and watch a few ads. Apparently the ads don't like that I refuse optional cookies because I got stuck in a cookies/ad loop and couldn't even use the app. I guess unless you choose to let them share all of your information can you use the "free" version.

I guess it works well enough to get a general idea of decibel range... but ads with audio literally every 5 to 10 seconds makes it unusable to get a consistent, accurate measurement. Anytime you disable an ad or have it play out, the reading gets disrupted from the audio feedback of you touching the phone or the sound of the ad itself. I am not going to buy an app to disable ads when I cannot even be sure it works properly.

Ridiculous ads. The app is good and it works well. The problem is the ads, they are constantly popping up and auto playing audio from advertisements. To the Developer: I understand you have to make money, and you deserve to because the app is great. The way you are implementing ads however is terrible. I was going to pay the 2 dollars to get rid of ads but I'm going to find a different app that isn't so obnoxious. My advice: Have ads, but don't make them cover the screen!

It's ok. I don't know how accurate it is, as I don't have a way to verify its readings. The graph function sounded really cool until I found out you can only see the last 60 seconds, which makes the graph useless. Also no way to save the graph that I can see. Also can't customize the appearance at all. So if you want to see dBs in real time, it works for that, but that's it. There are other free dB apps with more features.
