Good app!

If you listen to music a lot or use your iPhone for call, you maybe doing damage to your hearing already by listening too loud. Use the app to learn about hearing level. This is the best one of this type of app!
Excellent Value
CERT Comguy
Beyond testing for hearing impact this is really a very good audio analysis tool for very small investment as it includes basic spectrum analysis capabilities along with the usual SPL capabilities. Charge just a little more and add reporting capability and you've got 5 stars plus.
Great meter! Very accurate!

Health message is very useful for hearing protection! Best in class!
Nicely done app

While I have no test equipment with certified calibration for comparison, I've found the readings to match verbal descriptions of various noise levels closely, e.g., "library" or "chain saw at 3 ft". The app provides a variety of information in addition to raw dB level, including spectrum and safe exposure duration data. Controls are fairly intuitive, and the display is well thought out. If you need such an app, this one is, in my opinion, well worth getting.
