What they complain about
- Misspells quiet as quite everywhere

- App crashes when sound is too loud
- Shows suspicious ads that look dangerous
Oh no
This is very very the best very the best, but the Wendy’s Frosty’s are obviously better NENEN how about W?
Not effective
Not accurate
Not very good
Sometimes it is not very correct and my room is a quiet room but it is 70 or more
Can’t be right
In the ocean the noise is in the dangerous level. Can’t be right
Not accurate
Even in a quiet room, it indicates ~55-60dB of "Speech/Noise" while other app (which I think is more accurate) only about 40dB. Even when saving records is free, the app is not practical
Trying to find noise in house.
Oh yeah. The app works and it’s sensitive.
Inappropriate ads
AP shared porn ads
Hmm
Great app The only reasons I didn’t make it. A five star was because one I do wish it would like beep or send you a notification. It was too loud. Cause you basically have to have the app pulled out for you to see how loud it is, and I feel like you’re just like send you a notification or there should be an option for you to kinda like put the meter on your homepage, and it is literally dead quiet, and it’s saying that I’m being noisy, so it but otherwise, it’s amazing app. Keep updating it and looking at peoples reviews to check out how things are going. Fix it. And I think that you guys could be very successful, but it’s an amazing app, and only some minor details that you could fix to make it better
Review
5star. Made mistake on stars
“Free” trial
Signed up for a free trial and was immediately charged £26. Doesn’t look like Amazon will refund me either. Not happy 😡
Ok
it closes at only 70 decibels
Sucks
Me and my friend Coley tried this and it was not accurate. I was talking a little bit loud and it said I was 120 in danger but whenever we try doing it outside and screaming, it only went up to like 110. This thing is not accurate at all, and it does not work.
It is QUIET not quite
The spelling error is a major annoyance. People have been writing this in their reviews for years but the developer still hasn’t done anything to fix it. Terrible!
Not accurate
Needs adjustment. Not sure how
Honest review
Not very accurate
Works well
It works and is easy to use.
When I get in level danger it closes my app
When I get in level danger it closes my app
Good free app works nicely.
Good free app works nicely. I do wish they would fix the spelling of “quiet” throughout the app. The app spells it as “quite”
Crashing
I tried using the app in my heavy truck. Whenever the meter maxed out, it would crash clearing any data it gathered.
Updates?
What is the ‘first’ icon at the bottom of the display for? The second takes you to saved items and the third noise table. Could we have an option to remove ads?

Not useful
Will close you out of the app if to loud
Spelling
U spelled quiet room wrong it’s quiET not quite
The reset button doesn’t reset the measurement
The reset button doesn’t work properly
Accuracy Questionabld
I was in a restaurant those blaring music and I barely showed up as conversation levels
Great!
It’s free and I works very well, did I say it’s free!
Inaccurate
It reads way lower than all others I’ve tried. At least 20 lower!
Almost Great!
Easy to use. Good simple UI. Just fix the “quiet” spelling 🙃. Also, please, please add an option to prevent the screen from timing out while the app is open. (A landscape option would also be amazing!) Thanks for the app!
Nicht so gut 🙁
Ich hab viele Apps schon probiert, aber diese ist auch nicht sie sagt mich den genauen Stand an
Consistently lower than others
I just tried four decibel reading apps and this one consistently reads 30db lower than the other which all have minimal variation otherwise.
Good simple sound meter
Small unobtrusive banner ad. No monthly subscription. Good simple app.
Not accurate
Downloaded several sound meters, this one way off, compared to all the others. Much lower.
Decent little app, BUT…
It seems to work well. However, it’s incredibly annoying that they’ve misspelled the word quiet as “quite.” In two places. SRSLY?? You couldn’t proofread it before releasing it? 🙄🙄🙄
Hard to have confidence
Difficult to have confidence in an app that is supposed to measure sound levels when they can’t even spell “quiet” correctly!
Shame about Graphics Spelling
QUIET not QUITE 🙄
I’m Loud
I learned how loud my friend is
Apple security alert displayed on a google ad. Suspicious activity.
Almost immediately I started to receive an apple alert on the google ad banner indicating suspicious activity, flagged by my iOS system. I cleared the google ad and it came back at least 8 more times. Clicking on the ad takes me to a page wanting me to download a fix. I’m very surprised that this condition is happening from an app download from Apples App Store.
Quiet
Too bad the computer engineer could not spell quiet correctly! Otherwise an interesting app!
That says “quite”
Dudes. You gotta do better than that. Quiet. It’s spelled quiet. Sweet Maria.
Low reading!
Not sure but for some reason I’m getting half the reading for the db, tried other apps and those are in the same ballpark!
Review
It’s nice having a app free and is fun to play with
Is half the db then other apps such as decibel x and decibel meter
Please correct me if I’m wrong
Hard to Find Any Wrong - It’s Free
Seriously, this free app reads as close to being spot on as I need. The developer needs to look up the word, QUIET. Everywhere in the app that quiet is mentioned, it is misspelled as, QUITE. Next time they update, that needs correcting. Again, a good basic sound level meter.
Falsche Ergebnisse
Wir haben damit das Geräusch von Haartrocknern verglichen. Die Ergebnisse waren unbefriedigend, da ein laut Gehör deutlich lauterer Föhn mit Lagerschaden einen wesentlich niedrigeren Wert ergab, als ein leiserer professionellen Föhn.
One complaint
They misspelled ‘quiet’. It’s spelled ‘QUITE’ in a couple different places and has part of my brain itching. 5 stars for simplicity and ease of use, 3 stars for obvious spelling errors.
So far so good
It asked for my review just a few minutes into using it: it does exactly what I needed by showing the sound decibels in the room. For a free app I am happy with this so far.
Worse app ever
Can not send files
Can’t miss that typo
I downloaded this app, maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t but there is a typo that just can’t be missed. Instead of Quiet the meter reads “Quite”.
Questionable accuracy
Although the needle moves I doubt the shown dB level is accurate. Will try other apps to compare results.
What is “Quite”?
I could take this app more seriously if the spelling was correct.
