very good results

Compared with my Radio Shack meter, the results are quite consistent. There is some issue with the extremely high registers (like > 110 dB), but that is probably to be expected given the poor mobile phone mics. This db meter produces more consistent results than the other dB meter apps that I've seen. For normal day-to-day use, I highly recommend this one.
Not working

Stuck on 38.4 the whole time no matter what I do if I configure the db number changes to whatever I add to it.
Nice features, grossly inaccurate

Very nice interface and setting options (Slow/fast readings, internal/external mic, calibrate by adding or subtracting a fixed amount). But it's way too inaccurate when used with iPhone 4S internal microphone. I compared with a real sound meter that passes a sanity check. Sound levels 31 dB, 38 dB, 62 dB and 86 dB on my real sound meter show up in this app as 43.5 dB, 46 dB, 51 dB, and 62 dB. You can set it to "trim" a fixed number of decibels, but that doesn't help. I tried an external microphone. The 31-86 dB sounds measured 44 to 75 dB. Still not enough responsiveness. Trimming a fixed number of dB does not solve the problem.
Not worth a buck

I noticed that this developer has several volume meters with different skins. I picked this one as a simple visual for my special needs students. Unfortunatly even with adjusting the trim and trying both the internal and external microphones this app has poor sensitivity to sound.
Not Accurate - Avoid This App

This app shows a consistent 05 db level on both iPhone 4S and 5S no matter what. Save your dollar!
Won't work on iPhone 6S Plus

On the iPhone 6S Plus it shows 38.5 in all display areas. It did not ask for permission to access the microphone as did my iPad. It does work on the iPad. I suspect this another abandoned app still in the App Store.
Not accurate

Have tried using on my iPad air2 and iPhone 6s+, but is way too inaccurate. Too bad. Interface is good......meter LEDs are good, but just does not read DB's accurately. Fix the inaccuracy issue and I'll change review to 5 stars
