SPL Meter App Reviews

Works just fine, except Im not too sure of how to change response time & range, as tapping the screen does nothing. Also cant access the settings tab. But db metering is very accurate.

Tiny image of what appears to a copy of the Radio Shack db meter from the 1970s. Screen does nothing except show current db number you need a magnifying glass to see it. A $.99 joke. Ha! Doesnt Apple really examine any of these apps before allowing people to steal your money? Zero stars.

SPL Meter is a real sound pressure level meter. It behaves exactly like the meters on old pro audio recorders. A calibrated microphone is expensive but not necessary for casual use. It will use the iPhone mic by default. SPL Meter is simple to use. Get it and see how loud your sound system is. It just works.

I have several SPL meters and this APP rocks them all. Key feature, I always have it with me!

Great application for under a buck. Worth buying

Im glad I got it :)

Needs retina display update. This thing looks terrible.

Great for quick FOH reference. Latest update has an issue with screen rotation--I only see the bottom corner of the GUI when I rotate the phone upside down. Please fix this!

Working as a sound tech with some friends, a buddy got this app and we compared it to a "real" decibel-meter. It was about 10 dB off, but then a quick calibration brought it in to be accurate. Will prove very helpful as we travel venues and locales. P.S. To the guy who gave it 1-star, I would ask if you dont know what the controls are for, you dont know what this is really used for...why rate the app low for YOUR lack of understanding? 2.7: has a bug. if you flip phone so speakers an micro pointed up, you can only see the bottom corner of the app.

If you try to use this with an ipod touch and a blue mikey, all you get is screeching horrible feedback. No option to turn off playback/mic. Completely and utterly useless.

I think this is a fun app worth buying. BUT it crashes now on an iPad...

Was loving it on iPad, but now that it crashes, I cannot tell if I love it.

After downloading latest update it simply crashes! I liked it before this.

Latest update fixed issue with iPad crashing.

Well I dont know how accurate it is. Seemed to max out at around 90db with internal mic. Dont have an external. One thing that is annoying is the round scale knob. It seems to be be very touchy and a pain to set it to a value. Running on 4g iPod touch.

I was hoping this meter would measure bass but it doesnt. Very dissapointed. But for .99 cant really complain. lol

I just got an onkyo 308 a/v receiver and it doesnt have a built in mic. Looked at radio shack and a SPL meter was 50 bucks. Downloaded this and it works great. I calibrated my stero, works like a charm. As for the other review, put it in C weighting and it gets the bass volume. Seems to be very accurate... Overall, VERY useful for the price.

The db knob is way to touchy. A three point calibration would be beneficial, as it is not accurate at all. I calibrated it on my iPhone4 at 85db. At 115db it indicates 96 and at 45db it indicates 58. These test were done using a professionally calibrated meter.

Calibrated, it shows a reasonable degree of accuracy. Its all an iPhone app SPL needs to be. The graphics work well. Quite happy with it. Lets call it a good purchase.

I like this little app. Its pretty accurate for a phone.
