| 2024-01-08 |  | | Like the rest, only works for comparing tones against each other and the numbers only represent a scale for this app. Can't use the number to compare with any other app or device. So it has its uses, not sure how accurate it is when comparing different tones, really not going to work for setting up anything that requires accuracy across the entire 20-20kHz spectrum. More to test for equal speaker (R&L} output at each frequency, don't expect a flat response even if all tones read the same. |
| 2023-12-18 |  | | It's good ,no ads ,works well enough, it's really every phone is different, speakers ,etc. So it sometimes reads differently each phone ,but picks up sound well ,it is decently accurate. |
| 2023-07-18 |  | | It's quite accurate, easy to use, simple and it does what it suppose to do. It doesn't have any ads, which is awesome. Still, it doesn't feel right to use it for free, I would recommend a small fee for this app or a donation page, cause it's so well put together. Anyway, good job! |
| 2023-06-09 |  | | I'm older and my hearing is already compromised so I'm more concerned now about protecting what hearing I have left. Sound Meter HQ Pro is providing instant feedback to help me either add ear protection or move away if necessary. I am absolutely impressed and thankful for this app. I definitely recommend this app. |
| 2023-06-01 |  | | I think I might like the app, I might not... I haven't used it long enough to have an opinion but they ask you to rate it every 3 seconds while you use it. It became so annoying, I rated it based on how many times they asked me to. Hope this helps. |
| 2023-05-25 |  | | Smooth and accurate on my phone, but can't speak for other phones. Of course, no one likes advertising on working equipment. I would recommend this app anyway. |
| 2023-05-21 |  | | I like that it, in real time, compares the noise level to such things as power tools, motorcycle, and more. I like that. Now I will know when to do something about when it's too loud in church. Thank you, a great and simple app. It does have a disclaimer with noises over 90 dB, if it's over 90, consider remedies to protect your hearing. |
| 2022-07-20 |  | | Excellent App, simple to view. Like the lowest & highest values. Colour scheme looks good as well. Two thoughts - perhaps make info text a little smaller (or fix text and allow indicator bar to move up & down) to always stay on screen (top values disappear when registering low values) and would be nice to be able to store & edit history. Apart from that a great app worthy of 5 stars. |
| 2022-05-31 |  | | Nice interface, simple and effective. Having the real life example db range to compare to is wonderful. Ive yet to see if external or bluetooth mics could already be used with it, but that feature and some simple graph logging could make this the perfect go to app. |
| 2022-03-23 |  | | Very nice display, min. Max. & value is all I need. The level comparison chart is a nice addition. Large values displayed is important to me as well. |
