The app functions well overall. The first few times you use it is a great experience -- smooth with only occasional ads. Then a pop-up prompts you to rate it. Shortly after the prompt, the ads become CONSTANT and very intrusive. So in addition to being ad-heavy, I think the reviews are inflated because of the deceptive way on which they're solicited.

Sound Meter is simple to use even as it rolls several complex functions into the easy and attractive interface: metering is supported by analysis tools and the ability to record and share. Some apps that go into greater depth on specific features but Sound Meter offers the best range of basic functions which are delivered efficiently and relatively accurately. And face it - if you're really serious about your metering you won't limit your work by using a generic tool such as a cell phone.

Works really well as long as your phone is stationary in the room and not close to a single point of noise. Also when stationary near something (fan, appliance, speaker) it can give a good idea of that noise value. I really like the running graph and general stats on the testing sessions. Gives a good method to measure at different distances, volumes, or running speeds. Obviously variances will occur between devices and the quality of the device's components.
