Recorder does not work

While the free app works, do not waste your money. The strip chart recorder does not work
Fails at high end

At a NASCAR race at Dover it registered 90 when the green flag dropped. We were at the end of the straightaway just before turn 1. The cars came roaring; we were less than 25 meters from the track and the decibel level supposedly only increased to 95. If you’ve ever been that close to a start or restart you know the decibel level is well over a hundred. With head phones off and screaming in your neighbor’s face you cannot hear a word they are screaming!
Elegant and Simple

I’ve used this app for years, and have found it quite useful, without distracting bells and whistles. I’ve also corresponded with the developer, and found that the weighting (which is not evident) is broadband. Some of the features of a lab meter would be nice to have, like switchable A- or C-weighting, or averaging vs instantaneous readings. But the app is quick and easy as it is, and ads do not intrude.
it's a classic app

Found this app to be as accurate as other apps that you have to buy. Love the looks of it too. Nice job!

I was in my room at 2:00am and it was dead silent, yet this app was reading 50dB minimum! Pros: it's a cool idea and it was free
Works great & lools great

It does what it says it will, simply and smoothly. It seems accurate for me. Highly recommended. I tried the others and they weren't even close.

If you put your mic to the spot where your heart is it shows the heart beats on the needle!
On what device?

Please, app description-ers; list what devices this app will work with at the beginning of the description. I have iPod touch but many descriptions don't include it even tho it would work fine and does by the way.
