Toolbox PRO: Smart Meter Tools for Negative User Reviews
✓ Not dB meter as advertisedLooks interesting but bought it mostly because I wanted a decibel meter. The app itself had no such option. I got in touch with them but no response. Not great..Version: 5.2.3
✓ DeceptiveI wanted the decibel meter. Showed in the store that it had it. Bought the pro version to find out that not only didn’t it have the decibel meter, but that it didn’t have anything else than the free version other than to take away the ads. Classic bait and switch for my $4.Version: 5.3.0
✓ No decibel meter , deceiving infoI bought this because the description and pictures clearly states there is a decibel measuring tool in it, to my surprise it was not there.. deceiving information, I want a refund.Version: 5.2.3
✓ Feature removed and resoldI recently changed my iPhone - the old one suddenly died and I had to restore from a backup. The restore process involves reinstalling apps from the store. Imagine my surprise when I found the Decibel Meter had been removed from the current version of Toolbox! Imagine my annoyance when I discovered that it is now being sold on a repackaged subscription basis! This is no way to treat a paying customer. I bought the Toolbox Pro fair and square including the Decibel Meter. Needless to say, I will not be paying twice for stolen functionality. I have purchased a similar app which does what I want. Unless you really need/like the other tools (and they work well, hence the second star) I would suggest steering well clear of these developers. Who knows what they'll remove next? I will certainly not upgrade from the version I currently have, just in case..Version: 5.4.0
✓ Doesn't transportThe app provides the measures promised but there seems to be a lot of measuring apps. What I found disappointing is that if I want the app on any of my other devices (ipad) I have to purchase the app again. This is the first time I have come across this..Version: 3.8.0
✓ Not what I thought it would doThought there would be more features but maybe I'm just picky.Version: 3.6.0
✓ Update Toolbox ProJust downloaded the april 6 update and my toolbox pro no longer works on my iphone and my ipad.Version: 5.2.1
✓ No dB meter!!!The picture in description of the App Store clearly shows a sound dB meter. I downloaded the app & No dB meter anywhere. What a waste. I was specifically looking for a cheap dB meter which I found after down loading 3 different apps. Granted your dB meter works that I ultimately paid for after 3 downloads but the description of the Tools Pro version is false advertising as far as the dB meter goes..Version: 5.4.0
✓ MisleadingThe description and pictures talk about a decibel meter, which was the only reason that I purchased the app to begin with, but when I open the application there isn’t one. In the picture, the decibel meter is shown as tool number ten, but in the actual app it has been replaced by a Teslameter. This app is not worth the money, and I would appreciate a refund..Version: 5.2.3
✓ Blows up after last updateDoesn’t matter if it’s on the iPad or iPhone, everytime I try to open app it blows up. I have to restart my device to actuall get the app to close..Version: 5.2.1
✓ Won’t workIPhone 11pro and iOS 13.1.3. Deleted and re-downloaded. Still doesn’t work. Used to with old 8plus phone. Please fix..Version: 5.3.0
✓ 1 tool missing!The dB tool is missing!!! Someone sort this out!!!!!!😡.Version: 5.3.0
✓ No DB measureI purchased this version because the introduction has noise measurement. However it does not have it at all. It's frustrated, and I thin the description is misleading..Version: 5.4.0
✓ Decibel meter not includedDecibel meter was excluded after the update made into a separate pay to use app Not what I pay for in pro , I payed for pro only to have the Decibel meter removed, I feel a bit ripped off.Version: 5.3.0
✓ Doesn’t include all the features of the free appPurchased this to access the settings on the dB meter, only to discover the dB meter isn’t included in the pro version. Like the available tools, but feel cheated..Version: 5.4.0
✓ Keeps crashingI’ve not used it for a long time and just tried it out again but it constantly crashes.Version: 5.2.1
✓ How do you change the tools?All I get is the barometer. Lousy ui all flashy but counter intuitive.Version: 5.2.0
✓ AnnoyingSound effects make this app annoying to use, and the main screen may be cute but is a nuisance to use..Version: 4.0.0
✓ No DB meterWa a 5/5 app but when the sh meter was removed there should have been a refund..Version: 5.4.0
✓ No dB meter!Was working great up until the last couple of updates which have both caused problems. With the current version on iPhone 6 there is no dB meter available, it has disappeared from the selection screen. Tried contacting support but no reply..Version: 5.2.3
✓ Waste of timeWill not reply to emails.Version: 5.3.0
✓ Does not include Db toolThe only reason I downloaded this tool was for the decibel meter. The basic version did not include it so I thought perhaps it was a full version feature only. Nope! Does not include a Decibel Meter (FFT) at all! Even though it is shown CLEARLY in the photos/videos. If it was a feature in the previous versions, it’s gone now. I never write reviews but had to say something to hopefully prevent others from making the same mistake I made..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Decibel meter disappeared!!!I’ve had this app for years and it used to have decibels—just opened it to use that feature and it’s gone. Massively annoyed that I paid for something and now it can’t be used for what I purchased it for. Please revert back to old version or reintroduce the decibel meter!.Version: 5.4.0
✓ No Decibel meterThe App Store advertises that this app has a decline meter. It doesn’t in fact have this tool which, unless you see this, you will not know until you pay for it. Now I am going to have to try to get a refund..Version: 5.2.3
✓ DisappointedBeen using this app for years, only to find in this latest update the sound meter tool has been removed. It’s one of the measures I use more frequently. Yet it’s still a screen shot in the previews..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Jack of all trades, master of none.Has a lot of functions, but I’m not sure it will become my “go-to” app. It does many things your iPhone does already, so you’re likely to ignore the timers (because Siri is so convenient for that) or the flashlight (because we’re accustomed to sliding up for that). Additionally, those functions which require sounds to be generated will only do so if your phone is not in silent mode (where native iOS alarms will conveniently override this). Some instruments are easy to accidentally calibrate without realizing. It might be nicer to have calibration functions more out of the way, just as the resetting to defaults is hidden in the instrument’s settings menu. Of all the great things about the metronome (ability to store a list of tempos, time signatures, audible subdivisions, Italian labels on the dial), it is a travesty that you can’t dial in a tempo by ear without a cacophonous mess (The metronome audibly resets to beat one continuously as the dial is moved while playing). I don’t know of any musicians who wouldn’t require the ability to adjust a metronome while it is playing. Lastly, the instruments which allow measurements to be graphed would be more useful if labels for units of measurement were included on the graph (though I have not yet checked to see if exported data files include labels)..Version: 5.2.4
✓ Does NOT include all modules describedNice set of tools in one app…BUT, The description in the AppStore shows pictures of the sound meter included in the Pro version, the main reason I bought it, but when you download, and pay, it’s NOT there!!! Particularly annoying is that there are reviews that make the developer aware of the inconsistency between the AppStore description and the app itself. THIS IS A BIG DEAL! I hope they read this, and resolve the discrepancy..Version: 5.4.0
✓ DisappointedSo disappointed I've had the last app and now I've got all the ads back I paid to get rid of on the last disappointed I will have to delete this app very disappointed.Version: 4.1.0
✓ No dB meterBought this for the dB meter clearly shown on the preview but it does not to include one!! I see that the company sells one separately that does not work with the toolbox. Very disappointed and feeling deceived..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Works OK on iPad but…The HD version opens and works well on my iPad mini but won't even open to a start screen on my 6 plus. Just crashes immediately. I'll definitely give it 5 stars if this is fixed before developer support finishes. 😁.Version: 4.1.0
✓ Was great now brokenThe app was great, since update this morning, it is toast. No longer works..Version: 5.2.1
✓ Pro version crashes!I have iPhone 7+. I had the version with all the annoying gaming ads. - it worked great so I decided to purchase Pro. With Pro version only the flashlight works. If I try to use anything else, it crashes. I’ve deleted and reinstalled several times- no help. Deleted previous version with the ads- no help. Rebooted Iphone-no help. Doesn’t work..Version: 5.2.1
✓ Db meter removed!I had an old version. Needed C weighted Db measurement and was directed to the Pro version, which doesn’t have a Db meter! Will be getting a refund..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Install app / app crashes immidiatlyNeeds a lot of TLC 🔧🔩🔨.Version: 4.1.0
✓ There is NO dB measurement toolThis App has been rated ONE STAR. They advertise this App as having a dB measurement tool as part of the toolset - a very handy audio tool. Despite the App stating that the dB measurement tool is part of the toolset, it is NOT. Avoid purchasing this App if you WANT the dB measurement tool. I suspect that the developers discovered that the dB tool was useful for Home Cinema Enthusiasts and developed the tool into a separate App, and at a higher cost. It's a poor state of affairs when developers do this to purchasers. Apple should remove this App from the App Store until either the App information is updated or the dB measurement tool is restored. Again, beware if you are purchasing this APP for the dB tool. The developers have seemingly REMOVED this tool from the APP but are STILL advertising it as being part of the toolset. Bad form. The other tools are mainly gimmicks, some of which you already have in your iPhone as standard..Version: 5.2.3
✓ Yay, works againThis app was just updated and finally works again but the developer took a looong time to fix. Shouldn’t have to wait months for a paid app to be fixed from a fatal bug that caused it to crash on opening..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Todays update does not even openJust updated on iphone and ipad. Does not open, so is now completely useless..Version: 5.2.1
✓ Not bad.Pretty cool selection of tools. Some don't work on the iPod Touch though. Also, the ruler isn't that great..Version: 4.1.2
✓ No dB meterLike all the other recent reviewers I too am disappointed that the dB meter is missing although it is clearly shown on the pictures..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Crashes, does not openThis app does not open with the latest iOS 9.0.2. Bummer , 'cause looks interesting :-(.Version: 4.1.3
✓ Db tool missing!!!After years of using this I opened it up and found the db tool missing. Spent ages searching and resetting thinking it was the iPad at fault, eventually researched it and found all the rest of the complaints. Dodgy practice by the developers indeed..Version: 5.4.0
✓ Does not loadJust crashes every time..Version: 5.2.1
✓ No dB meterSame thing I purchased for the dB meter as it showed on screenshots. Only after purchasing the pro version I found it wasn’t there and dB meter was sold separately. If you look in the version history it says removed from the toolbox and the screenshots however this wasn’t done. I am also feeling extremely deceived..Version: 5.3.0
✓ No db meterI ordered this because it showed a dB metre in the advertising. It wasn’t in there when I downloaded it. This is what I needed the most I am not happy..Version: 5.4.0
✓ WorksWorks as described.Version: 5.4.0
✓ Big flawWhile I love everything that it does there is a major flaw with the levels. While it’s great to be able to zero them out i found no way to reset it once you do. I’ve closed and reopened it was still off. So then anything you do could be majorly off and while i know this isn’t for construction use for a house or what not. It might be nice to say set my closet rack level or the fence post. Mail box. As it sits right now all my levels are useless . If i am just not seeing how they reset back please let me know and it’ll be a 4 star all day long. For more detail all three levels have a button to zero out or set to level not sure what you call it but it makes your indicator bubble show level or center. Only problem is if when you do that the phone isn’t say level not your level is out of alignment. Put the Phone on a flat surface tilt one side up with some thing a pen , what ever, now hit the zero out or reset button it’s the one with the cross hairs and a dot in the center now your phone will think that is what level is . It’s like that with all three levels. Hopefully you can now see why this could be a problem. I like the feature it’s useful there just needs to be a way to clear out any user input and set it back to default. Like if the button stayed light when it was using the manual feature but push it again turns the light off and the app goes back to using the phone sensors to determine.Version: 5.4.0
✓ Unusable with iOS 11.3Just purchased Toolbox PRO version 5.2.1, installed on iPad Pro and iPhone 6 both running iOS 11.3. App opens with barometer function. Attempting to select a different function, or “Settings,” causes the app to immediately close. I submitted a trouble report to the developer, and if they respond and correct the problem in a timely manner I’ll upgrade my rating..Version: 5.2.1
✓ DB meter (and developer) both missingI found a couple of tools useful and the ads annoying- so I paid for the full version. One of the tools I brought it for? The dB meter. And it’s missing entirely from the paid version... so I have to keep using the adware one. Tried reinstalling. Emailed developer, got no response. Not impressed :(.Version: 5.2.3
✓ Decent interface and usefulReally like the dB and the gauss meters the interface is unique and functional. consider making it tailorable by being able to disable/enable the items the barometer could use some buffing, please consider adding a recorder and/or markers on the gauge.Version: 5.1.2
✓ Crashes Immediately on UseDO NOT buy this app. I just wanted £3.99. And it crashes immediately on use. Rubbish.Version: 5.2.1
✓ False AdvertisingThis app does not have a decibel meter. I had the regular version and paid to unlock everything but the decibel meter didn’t show up. Thinking maybe I misread the information about the app and made a mistake I thought the PRO version would have it. Reading up it said it did. I purchased the app and no decibel meter. I wrote the company and got no response. I’m very put out. Edit: about a week after I wrote this review they removed the decibel meet from their blurb about the app; however, as that was a huge reason for my having purchased the app, twice technically, I am still very unhappy. They have never responded to my emails and I am writing it off as a loss. Very unhappy..Version: 5.2.4
✓ Does not come with decibel meterPurchased apps expecting decibel meter as advertise, its no longer part of the app, false advertising would like my refund as they sell the decibel meter as a separate apps at double the price..Version: 5.3.0
✓ No decibel meter!!!!I bought this App specifically for the decibel meter... it doesn’t have one! 1) I should have read the 1 star reviews and I would have seen this before wasting £3.99! 2) I should have read the proper description of the App which does actually list the functions... so I would have been confused and then not bought it. 3) I searched for decibel meter and this App came up... so you would assume that it has one (given the picture shows one) and the first review describes how accurate the decibel meter is..Version: 5.3.0
✓ No decibel meterI had this App on my old iPad and decided to purchase it but there is no longer a decibel counter so it’s no use to me and I have wasted £3.49 Not at all happy about this.Version: 5.4.0
✓ Very bad communicationThe app was operating very good till last upgrade then was screwed. I informed your support and no one cars. I hope Apple does..Version: 5.2.1
✓ Snake oilBought this for the deciblemeter, even shows it in the preview , but where is it ? Paid for this app specifically for that and it is not in the app. Not impressed..Version: 5.2.4
✓ No decibelsRemoved from App after I bought it. The preview remains misleading..Version: 5.4.0
✓ Crashes upon turning the tool wheelNow unusable as the app crashes EVERY time I open it and turn the tool wheel.Version: 5.2.1
✓ SkyPaw To SneekyPawThank you SkyPaw for removing the db (decibel) meter without informing the purchasers, who paid for the Pro version, so that you could sell a separate db meter for an astronomical amount of £’s. Be thankful I gave you 2 stars. I do not recommend this app due to the above!.Version: 5.4.0
✓ IanplJust installed the latest update and now the app does not work. As soon as I tap on it the app switches off. Fix it please..Version: 5.2.1
✓ JunkBad English. Poor design. Can’t exit some modes. Refund denied even within 10m of purchasing..Version: 5.4.0
✓ Update - Thumbs DownUpdate- no development in a year and the app crashes everytime on iOS 13. I paid for tool box pro for one app alone the decibel meter and then they moved it out and now they’re charging $8 for the pro version of that up. It has all the same features are used to have in the app that I already paid for. This is a BS software development model to extract more money from paying customers..Version: 5.3.0
✓ New business model?I think it is not right when you remove features from the app people already paid for. I know you want to sell you other apps, but this is just stealing. And they didn’t even bother to answer my question: Why the Decibel feature has been removed??? Expect adequate marketing..Version: 5.2.4
✓ DB Sound Meter MISSINGI bought this specifically for the sound level meter. I wanted to measure the sound level at a concert and compare it with the level I achieve with my Hi-Fi system. The dB meter is missing. Advertised as 14 tools plus torch is only 13 tools plus torch on the app I bought. I want my money back if the dB meter has been removed. Also, if it has been removed, the information on the iTunes Store is misleading and should be taken down..Version: 5.2.3
✓ Misleading images in App StoreI purchased this app predominantly to measure volume but chose it over discreet dB only measuring apps due to the variety of functions. However (unless I am mistaken) there is no way to measure volume in it? The image showing a decibel reader does not match the app itself?.Version: 5.4.0
✓ It’s brokenThe app crashes every time I open it since the last update a few days ago and no-one has responded to the report I sent in. Not good service and be careful where you spend your money......Version: 5.2.1
✓ CrashesPrevious versions worked fine. This version crashes when I try to change measuring device.Version: 5.2.1
✓ Not so good on iPhone 8plusThis app worked wonderfully on my old iPhone 5s, but I just got a new iPhone 8plus today and all it does is crash on the new 11 program. OK- a day later and they must have updated the app because it now works wonderfully again!.Version: 5.1.0
✓ Latest update crashesGreat app up to the previous release. New release just crashes as so as I try to anything. Get that issue fixed and it’ll be great again.Version: 5.2.1
✓ Took away the reason I bought it.The main reason for me to purchase this app was for the decibel level meter. Have been rolling this app out on to our manufacturing floor. Much to my surprise, the company removed the decibel meter, making this worthless for the use intended. I have written the company about this, but have received no reply. Why two stars then? The products that they do have within the app are god and work well, just not what I need. Edit: Four emails to them/support. ZERO replies. dB meter still shows in their “store”. One star due to their lack of customer support..Version: 5.2.4
✓ Crashed after installing 7 April 2018 update.Workings marvelously until I installed the latest update....Not working anymore..Version: 5.2.1
✓ DECIBEL MISSIJG FROM APP SINCE LATEST UPDATE TO TOOLBOXUPDATE 2: THE MAIN TOOL I USE ‘DECIBEL’ IS GONE FROM THE MENU!!! This has been missing for a few versions. No response from support for months regarding this. Uninstalled and reinstalled several times trying to fix. Rated one star for seriously poor support. STILL NO ACCESS TO DECIBEL FROM TOOLBOX PRO AND NO RESPONSE FROM SUPPORT AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS RE DECIBEL MISSING FROM APP. WHY DO YOU NOT RESPOND TO SUPPORT REQUESTS EITHER HERE, OR VIA YOUR WEBSITE SUPPORT TICKES!!! It’s been weeks now since I reported that DECIBEL has gone missing from my toolbox pro app post an update. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled with no success. PLEASE RESOND SO I KNOW YOU’RE LISTENING. Thanks Great app but latest version clearly not tested enough. Opens but the moment you choose a tool it closes. Does this every time. Useless to me now until updated UPDATE: FIXED THE CRASH AND NOW THE MAIN TOOL I USE ‘DECIBEL’ IS GONE FROM THE MENU!!! PLEASE FIX ASAP. THANKS.Version: 5.2.4
✓ Pretty sleazy tacticAs others have pointed out, the decibel meter has been removed from the pro version. Looking at the version history, there was NO mention of its removal in the release notes. The last reference was to CHANGES to the decibel meter, indicating it was still part of the app. I guess now it’s turned up again as a separate paid-for app. Do developers really think people will invest MORE money in their apps after a move like that? Sleazy SkyPaw!.Version: 5.2.4
✓ Missing FeaturesI bought this app because it said it has a decibel meter, it does not. I gave it three stars because some of it’s other features are pretty good, except the compass which doesn’t seem to do anything at all on my iPad..Version: 5.2.2
✓ Decibel reader?I paid for the pro to have the decibel reader and now it is gone ... but I see there is now a standalone decibel app that I could pay again for? Tell me this is a mistake?! I've recommended the app to many people. Fix the issue and I'll rate again..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Where is the db meter?I've used the app in the past. Works excellently. Added it back to my new iphone and the db meter is missing. Was it removed from the toolbox?.Version: 5.2.4
✓ Good app, but...Why did you remove the dB meter with no warning in the update information? The dB meter is why some of us paid for the app. This is very poor form. Also, please allow user determined intermittent beeps/alarms within each timer. This way people have reminders to turn or flip things when cooking, or change exercises. Another update with no change is just poor business. I will definitely NOT recommend your app, and will not be buying any future products until you make this up to your longtime customers..Version: 5.2.3
✓ Recent update ruined itThis was a useful set of tools until the recent update. It now crashes constantly. (iPhone SE) and iPad pro.Version: 5.2.1
✓ Removed the decibel meterIt makes me sad and a bit frustrated that I purchased this app specifically for the decibel meter, now with a new phone I needed to download the app again, and magically that no longer is part of the app. Not sure if I will keep in the app installed or not. I feel like I just tossed money out the door..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Decibel meter has vanished after updateDecibel meter has vanished after update.Version: 5.3.0
✓ Tool disappearedWhat happened to the decibel tool?.Version: 5.4.0
✓ Needs to be updatedJust purchased January 2023, does not fill screen correctly on latest iPadOS and device..Version: 5.4.0
✓ App just shuts downThe app worked at first but no just shuts down any time I try and use it? Closes right out as soon as I touch the wheel..Version: 5.2.1
✓ OverratedAfter all the ratings. The protractor needs me to move the angle myself. It cannot even reference what is behind the iPhone and so you have to estimate the point of origin. So much for ratings..Version: 5.4.0
✓ Should not have updatedApp Store picture clearly shows decibel meter tool but still missing from the actual App for some reason??.Version: 5.2.3
✓ No dB tool anymore!The picture show a dB tool and it used to be there but not now! :(.Version: 5.4.0
✓ It’s okI think a help menu would be useful to be able to use and understand the functions. Also having downloaded onto an iPhone 5s was informed that my phone does not have the sensor for the barometer, which leaves me wondering if this is worth it. Other functions seem good..Version: 5.1.3
✓ No decibelJ'ai acheter l'app pour les db et cette fonction n'est pas dans l'app. Mauvaise présentation de l'app car les db sont dans la pub mais pas dans l'app..Version: 5.4.0
✓ Crap!Paid for the Pro Version, Won’t open with iOS 12. No support from developer, DON’t waste your money.Version: 5.2.4
✓ Doesn’t work on phones with a notchOn phones with a notch the ruler doesn’t work correctly. You can get the control stuck behind the notch and be unable to grab it again. Tap frequency weighting in settings for the dB tool and instant crash if it was set to itu468..Version: 5.3.0
✓ App not workingThe app drops out after the last update was great before that please fix ASAP.Version: 5.2.1
