✔ Pros:
- Supports older iOS versions
- Quick and easy to use without distracting features
- Ads do not intrude

- Correspondence with the developer is helpful
☹ Cons:
- Lacks some features found in lab meters such as switchable A- or C-weighting, or averaging vs instantaneous readings
- Actual accuracy is uncertain
- Some reviewers do not understand how decibels are reported and rate the app poorly based on incorrect assumptions
- May not accurately measure extremely high decibel levels, such as those found at a NASCAR race.

Elegant and Simple
By gring40 (Pcmac user)
I’ve used this app for years, and have found it quite useful, without distracting bells and whistles. I’ve also corresponded with the developer, and found that the weighting (which is not evident) is broadband.
Some of the features of a lab meter would be nice to have, like switchable A- or C-weighting, or averaging vs instantaneous readings. But the app is quick and easy as it is, and ads do not intrude.

Fails at high end
By dmcc339 (Pcmac user)
At a NASCAR race at Dover it registered 90 when the green flag dropped. We were at the end of the straightaway just before turn 1. The cars came roaring; we were less than 25 meters from the track and the decibel level supposedly only increased to 95. If you’ve ever been that close to a start or restart you know the decibel level is well over a hundred. With head phones off and screaming in your neighbor’s face you cannot hear a word they are screaming!

It works, it's free, you can't lose
By LouMaag (Pcmac user)
I am not sure of the actual accuracy; however, it is relatively accurate. What I mean is that a normal room with an air conditioner running is about 40 db, add a conversation across the room and it goes up 10 db or so. Some of the other reviewers have no idea what the decibel meter is supposed to do or how this app are reported. One guy claims a quiet room should be 0db and rates the app poorly since it was registering 40db in a "quiet room". Also, those complaining about the meter not inverting, you don't need to "point" the microphone at the source of the noise. If you can hear the noise, so can the microphone.
Look, if you are looking for an exact db meter for some engineering or legal reason, go get a real db meter for $60 or more. If you are somewhere and you find yourself having difficulty communicating with someone across the table, reach down and try the app to get a general idea of how loud it is where you are.
