have to pay to use it?
Stupid..its fully locked out until you pay. Deleted.
doesn't work it only show ads
Nothing is real.
All it did is play advertisements with the no way to close them.
its an ad and nothing else
Excessive ads and they pop up while Im trying to get a sound level reading in my car making the app distracting If your going to make an app with this many ads just make it a paid app at this point
Can't do anything in this without supplying your CC info. for a supposed Free Trial. No thank you. Immediately uninstalled.
Useless app. Do not subscribe
How many decibels is hot garbage? Don't know, have to watch ads first! Update since it won't let me reply to the dev's response: I had to sit through an ad before navigating anywhere on your app. When I tried navigating to the menu to find out how much it would cost to get rid of ads, I had to sit through another ad. Absolutely ridiculous.
Got hit with a full screen ad that somehow disabled the android menu buttons that made it impossible to exit out of. Clicking on the ad was the only way out. Find another app.
measures sound only thing it does should be free but its not
app is broken now and has awful, long ads
Ads before I'm allowed to evaluate it. Uninstalled immediately.
doesn't work
hidden fees and installs scams
Pornographic ads, simple features locked behind insane price.
ad link to malware in app
Not free, hate the ads
Deceitful to say the least. It says that it doesn't collect data but then you are faced with a wall of cookies of the data they collect, which you cannot opt out in a single tap. It tells a lot about developers morality.
professional meter shows 22 this one shows almost 40.
instantly uninstalled the app after getting an upgrade to premium advert on first launch.
every time I try to cancel this subscription, the app crashes and will not connect the internet. I want nothing more to do with this app and want it canceled immediately.
I just installed and open and then only add are coming not even first page of app.... what the hell ...
Disappointing experience. The app locks everything behind a subscription and requires an account immediately. Calling this “free” is misleading.
this is fraud app don't install
At $15/week to remove the ads that pop up every few seconds, you are better off just ordering an actual sound meter. Luckily I didn't sign up for the free trial, now that I see it traps people in the subscription with no way of cancelling.
without paying the app does not work it just starts a game
Any spp that allows you to download it and then wants you to sign up. sucks. tell everyone up front.
premium
only Adds
Even a simple tool like this one has ads and a pro version
el mínimo que registró fue 28 dB en lugares ruidosos (avenida) y fue el mismo valor un lugar aislado en un apartamento, lo cual no tiene sentido
App won't let you cancel in the App and makes it nearly impossible to contact anyone!?
Unusable
useless meter. All devices measured showed 80+ db
+ 7 more in the clipboard copy
