Toolbox - Smart Meter Tools for Negative User Reviews
✓ Useless customer serviceI paid for an upgrade many versions ago. Won’t show the upgrade. Customer service won’t respond. Not recommended.Version: 4.1.0
✓ Annoying nag screen! + constant crashing!I have not used the app for a while. Today after updating the app it constantly crashes whenever I turn the dial to select a tool. I also hate that it constantly has a nag screen to purchase the pro-upgrade. I’m well aware of the pro-upgrade option... putting a nag screen doesn’t make me want to upgrade, it has the opposite affect! After it crashed a few times in a row and seeing the nag screen every time I tried to get it to work I gave up in frustration... app has now been deleted!.Version: 4.1.0
✓ More helpful help pleaseIf the screen measures only 8.8cm, how do you measure 200cm?.Version: 1.1.5
✓ How do you use it?Lots of positive reviews for this app. I’m sure it must be useful but I can’t for the life of me work out how to use it - I’m either being incredibly stupid or missing something but a ruler that can only measure 7 or 8 cms isn’t really any use. Oh and the ads...grrrrr...if I could work out how to use it I’d upgrade to get rid but I’m reticent to do that when I can’t figure out what I’d be getting. How about some help files or instructions...!.Version: 5.2.0
✓ Terrible.Way to many pointless and annoying sound effects that cannot be silenced. Ads are way to frequent. Particularly when an app being advertised is already installed. Seems to be a battery killer..Version: 1.3.0
✓ Utterly useless now google ad blocks top of screenTitle says it all. Might have been tempted to pay for Pro version but cannot evaluate free version because google ads block the screen meaning you cannot read which tool you are on. Idiotic..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Itunes charged me for the appI didn’t know that this is not free as it does not says the amount of the app😡.Version: 4.0.0
✓ Crashes on launchThis is one of the best and most useful apps I have put on my phone. However after upgrading from an iPhone X to an iPhone 11 Pro, this app no longer will even open on the new phone. These phones have been out for 2 months now and still this does not work. Please devs update this app to work on the new phones.Version: 5.3.0
✓ YOU GOT RID OF THE DECIBEL READER!!!What is wrong with you! That was the best tool out of all of them! Not happy :( please bring it back.Version: 5.3.0
✓ Measures 2Too many ads that interrupt all the time..Version: 1.5.0
✓ No decibel meter as advertised!The decibel meter is no longer there! Instantly deleted..Version: 5.2.0
✓ Review....what for ????I’d be more inclined to give this a good review if I could use it! It looks as though I could find many more uses for it...but I’m stuck with the barometer and torch. If somebody gets back to me from the people who make this .app and tells me what I’m doing wrong (it’s not me, it’s you), and gets it working, I’ll happily recant this and give it a thumbs-up. In the meantime, I’ll be checking on the weather in the darkened basement!!! I look forward to a response..Version: 4.1.0
✓ ToolboxWhat happened to the Decibel meter?.Version: 5.2.0
✓ Like the app hate the addsApp is good the adds drop the star rating down.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Wrong app?This TOOLBOX app, showed a decibel meter, which was the app that I was searching for. However, with all the other tools included in the app, it appeared to be far more versatile, which is why I chose it. After downloading it, there is no decibel meter and none of the tools worked. Why would that be?.Version: 5.4.0
✓ UpdateSince downloading the update it will not open??.Version: 4.1.0
✓ App won’t load; good nowRunning iPhone 11 Pro Max on 13.2.3, app will not load. Tried deleting and reinstalling, no such luck. EDIT: An update has been provided and the app works as designed. Very disappointed the the sound level meter was removed..Version: 5.4.0
✓ Does not workCloses immediately after launching on the iphone Xs, please fix this..Version: 5.2.0
✓ DB meter is omittedThe developer must realized that the DB meter is the only function that most people use this app for and they’ve disabled it. So I’ve deleted it from my iPhone. Bye😠.Version: 5.3.0
✓ Thrown out of app.With the latest update, I cannot change functions, it throws me out of the app..Version: 4.1.0
✓ Free version too limitedThere are no basic instructions with free version so can't tell if it might be worth getting Pro..Version: 1.7.5
✓ What improvement?The supposed improvement actually destroyed it! If you rotate the dial either left or right two steps, the app shuts down immediately!.Version: 4.1.0
✓ Update crash.Gutted. Was a great it of kit. Since the latest update, only the torch works on my phone. As soon as you try to select a mode, the app closes. Hopefully this gets sorted in a newer update, as this app is the best of its kind in the AppStore..Version: 4.1.0
✓ Not bad overall.There is one flaw that I find a bit annoying in the sound level (dB) meter. The digital instantaneous readout, the center orange digits, do not agree with the analog meter needle above it! While the digital readout correctly shows readings in the mid to high 40 dB range, the analog meter shows readings in the low mid 50 dB range. Another meter I use doesn't have this problem. If they ever do fix this I may purchase the upgrade to get "A" weighted measurements..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Keeps crashingNow crashes soon after each load. Tried deleting and reinstalling. Also the ads have returned! How did that happen?.Version: 4.1.0
✓ Something missing...Only just got this app so the 3 stars is based on what I want to feedback here. In the App Store animation that plays showing the tools there is a decibel meter but weirdly it’s shown much quicker than the others. Downloaded and no decibel meter. There is a separate app but it says something about a trial then a chargeable monthly fee..Version: 5.3.0
✓ CrashingSince the latest update the app crashes when I try to try different functions. Now I’m stuck on Spirit Level!.Version: 4.1.0
✓ Don't believe itThe db meter shows a reading which is always ridiculously too high, the altimeter is useless with +- 12 meters when a height of 3 meters is shown. The barometer seems wrong but can't confirm that. There's no way to calibrate anything so I just don't believe it. There's no response from developer support when I asked about these issues about 2 months ago..Version: 1.3.6
✓ ToolboxUpdate does nothing but crashes every time you try to open it. Perhaps the developers should try it out before releasing it. Useless!.Version: 4.1.0
✓ Removed the best tool!Purchased the ad removal feature in this app instead of in decibel X because this app included decibel X and several other told I wanted, like the altimeter. After am update, the decibel function is missing in the app and in the description but it is still in the screenshots. No response from devs when I emailed them..Version: 5.3.0
✓ UPDATE PLEASEI have been a very satisfied Toolbox user for years—but the app hasn’t been updated in nearly a year!! The ruler on my iphone 12 pro max is out way out of scale, and who knows what else is wrong :( I’m not asking for any new features, but please make the ones I paid for work properly with the latest ios and devices!!.Version: 5.4.0
✓ Wing nutIt's good. I haven't really given it a fair shake yet. Pun intentional. More later..Version: 1.6.3
✓ Not workingInstalled the latest update & doesn’t work anymore! (April 7 2018).Version: 4.1.0
✓ Good but needs more workApp keeps crashing :-(.Version: 5.2.0
✓ GlitchJust updated...crashes every time..Version: 4.1.0
✓ Still unhappyAgain I purchased this as the images showed the dB meter being included. It is not now and when I questioned them I heard no response. Way to go for customer service fail.....Version: 5.3.0
✓ Doesn’ openSince download of update for all. on my iphone Toolbox refuses to load..Version: 4.1.0
✓ Last version full of bugsNot even working anymore on my iPhone..Version: 4.1.0
✓ PoorAll tools work well... The problem is the ad support. The developers seem to ignore the fact that a licence has been purchased. Restoring purchases lasted a day....Version: 1.3.5
✓ It’s okayI’m basing this on the barometer which is way off. There is no calibration that can be done to at least get it close to correct. It seems like the developers could take care of this problem easily..Version: 5.2.0
✓ Ads?Bought the non ad version - still get ads..Version: 5.2.0
✓ Misleading descriptionLooking at the description, starting with the first screenshot, you see the Sound Meter, but when you download, there is no Sound Meter! I thought that it might be in the Pro version (paid), so I bought and downloaded, and guess what! No SOUND METER! The other apps are OK as far as they go. A lot of functionality in one app. Developer: Add the sound meter to the Toolbox, or at least, clean up the description for both apps to remove all references to Sound Meter, both in the text description, and the graphics..Version: 5.4.0
✓ Hackable asCan be used to access other apps and steal info.Version: 5.4.0
✓ Doesn’t work on 11 Pro IOS13.1.3Shame, looks good but doesn’t open. Downloaded twice but still no joy. Developers please fix or remove from App Store..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Good app...but....I previously used your app (version 1), and was very pleased with it. However, you have now discontinued it, and forced me to use this app. I like that it is universal, but now has ads. These ads not only take valuable space on the screen, but start video ads which you have to just wait till they finish. I know you can pay for no ads, but I didn't have any in the previous version. I feel this app is now spoiled, and I for one will continue to use the old version..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Tool boxThe new version doesn't support the db reader on my iPhone 5s. It worked ok on the previous version..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Huh? Free?I went to look for the so called Free Pro version and it's $3.99. Maybe something is wrong with my Math. No really I'm thinking I'm going to need a calculator along with this measures app so I can calculate the difference between Free and $3.99. Oh! Hey! There is an idea. Create another measures tool! Free-to-$3.99 converter. Maybe the false advertising will make sense to me then..Version: 1.7.3
✓ Crash on iOS 13Crash in is 13.Version: 5.3.0
✓ No Decimal !Downloaded to test Sound however unable to find Decimal meter. Is only 13 applications not 14 as advertised 😡🤬.Version: 5.1.0
✓ Crashes on new iPhoneJust upgraded to iPhone 8+. Opens on barometer and gives a reading but crashes as soon as I try to select another tool. iOS 11.3. Light version for now..Version: 4.1.0
✓ DB meter?Was the Db meter removed from the free version ? I din’t see it.Version: 5.1.0
✓ Some parts are great, others are just silly!FLASHLIGHT: “Transmission speed - words per minute??? I just want some light when the power goes off, which happens all too often in our tiny village out in the country. I have to drive for 20 minutes just to buy milk! TIMER: No setting for 20 minutes no ability to set times of my choice, so it is useless for baking. I can’t imagine who would appreciate the preset tomes. This timer is completely useless for my needs, unless I’m just dying to know how long 10 seconds is..Version: 5.3.0
✓ ?????Don’t get it!.Version: 5.3.0
✓ Not workingAfter last update app stop working..Version: 4.1.0
✓ I need helpThis Apple offers many useful measuring tools, but I need some instructions. Where is some help? Lew.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Useful only in Pro versionUnless you pay for the pro version you will be persistently interrupted by ads rendering the app useless. Sad to see a good app go to waste..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Publicité trompeuse?Impossible de choisir la langue dans l’application. Résolument en Anglais. Résolument supprimé..Version: 5.4.0
✓ DB meterI thought from the details that the DB meter was part of this app and like other users I cannot figure out how to use the ruler maybe some online help would be good.Version: 5.2.0
✓ Crappy updateNo dB anymore in the free version. Not much use in keeping the app..Version: 5.3.0
✓ KensongThis is a very useful App, but the presentation and the attempts to make ‘mechanical ‘ are very off putting. I really don’t want or need the sounds that attach to every change of tool Or movement within it. But ,as I said, the app is useful and comprehensive..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Contact suppoOn app store the preview illustration for the app shows decibels. Since update it has been removed, so it is wrong to show it! Have contacted support, but there is NO reply. When will developers realise that ignoring people lowers their rating!.Version: 5.3.0
✓ 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 and am planning to call Apple to complain about this..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Advert pop upCan’t really use the tools since ads pop up all the time.Version: 5.0.0
✓ RubbishCrashes continually, cannot open.Version: 4.1.0
✓ Don't Waste Your TimeIf you bought and paid for the previous version DO NOT install this app. It will NOT restore your purchases. AND, all of the app developers' so-called workarounds FAIL. Stick to the old version you already spent money on and give this one a pass, a very wide pass. N.B. Unfortunately, the old ad-free "pro" version that we paid for is no longer being updated and will most likely not work under iOS 11. This means it will then be time to look for a competitor's product. Surely, though, that would be preferable to paying this company twice..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Useless without instructionsHow do you use the ruler to measure something? It looks great but it doesn’t do anything..Version: 5.3.0
✓ DecibelI had this app on my old iPad (iOS 9) and loved it. Purchased a new iPad (iOS 12) and downloaded it again (toolbox pro) and now I an very disappointed. The decibel meter is no longer there. Hugh disappointment. Wish I had known because the add says it is still there..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Ruler does Not workWithout instructions, there is no way of knowing what, if anything, has to be done to get it to measure..Version: 4.0.0
✓ Latest update won't bootLatest ver will not boot hope fix ed soon.Version: 4.1.0
✓ No decibel meterThis app was downloaded for the decibel meter. The only tool that I needed and it’s not there. Advertised with decibel meter and stated 14 tools. I have 13. Very poor 1 star.Version: 5.0.0
✓ DON'T "UPGRADE" FROM V1This crapware is presented as an "upgrade" from inside the version 1 of the same app. Don't fall for it! This version has exactly the same functions but with a buttload of ads. No I don't ****ing want Flappy Bird ads while measuring db..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Contra-indicated for EpilepticsCareful, no warning on the metronome which defaults to a horrible flash every '' beat. This should be set to off as default not on. A bit late when someone's writhing on the deck with a Grand-Mal seizure. This leaves you wide open for law suits!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ OK but has errorTry to email but failed in send keep loop on the process.Version: 3.0.0
✓ Great app butI love this app but ever since the latest update I cannot restore purchases for either my iPad or iPhone, and yes I have purchased the professional versions of both. I have not had problems restoring purchases with previous updates so this is a definitely a bug..Version: 1.7.0
✓ DB used ro be includedWhere is it?.Version: 5.4.0
✓ StupidPain to use.Version: 5.2.0
✓ MePaid for this....so why the ads??.Version: 5.1.0
✓ Very annoying tacky soundsVery annoying tacky sounds Deleted it as a result..Version: 1.6.3
✓ Doesn’t work on iPhone 11Tried reloading. No hope. App just hangs and gives up..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Cool but inaccurateI used this to level a shelf on the wall for installation. It showed its own version of level, on multiple measurements, but it still looked from a distance to be off. So I dug up a real spirit level (the kind with the bubble, that is simulated by this app), and it changed the measurement significantly. On a 24” shelf install, I had to move one of the two mounting holes in the wall UP BY TWO INCHES! It is a very cool app for entertainment, but unfortunately it is not as accurate as its design appears to be. Buyer beware.Version: 5.0.0
✓ Continuous interruption with ads.Continuous interruption with ads as soon as you try anything. I haven’t even figured out how to select tools and everything I touch takes me to an ad or a new window in Safari. I’d be glad to pay money for a great app. But you need to give me a few minutes to figure out if it’s great first..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Don't get me wrong this app is good. However there is No db meter.In the preview they show the app having db meter, when I'm fact there is not one. It is not available in the pro version either. That is the reason for my rating of only 2 stars. Other than that it's a decent app to have..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Misleading video - No sound meterThe sample video shows a tool to measure sound at the start. Was looking to purchase the app for the tool but seems like the developer removed the functionality at a later update. Too bad. Other tools look interesting if that’s what you needed. Would have been great to have the all in one place like this app if not for the missing tool..Version: 5.4.0
✓ Full of ads you can't removeOn Decibel 10th they encourage you to upgrade to remove ads, no issue with that. They then recommend to upgrade to Measures 2 for free.....problem is that the app is full of ads you cannot remove. I understand marketing, I understand you get nothing for free but can't understand why they intentionally mislead you to an app that is so full of ads. It simply pi$$es people off and they delete your app!! It looked good but was weighed down with clutter and unstoppable ads. Don't download!!.Version: 1.1.5
✓ No decibel!!!I got this app specifically for the decibel meter, but it doesn’t appear to be on it now although it’s still advertised, very disappointing as the app seems to be quite a good one.😞.Version: 5.3.0
✓ Recent update killed itThe app was updated automatically today (7 April 2018) and will no longer launch on my iPhone SE (screen blanks for a second, then app closes to home screen). The app WILL launch on my iPad Air but will crash instantly if the module selector is rotated to the (non-existent) Barometer. It is occasionally possible to select one of the other modules though 50% of the time the app crashes before you can tap the OK button. If the module does open after tapping OK it will crash after tapping any of the module’s interface elements..Version: 4.1.0
✓ WORST APP EVERThis app just DOES NOT WORK, I’m tired of going to the App Store and downloading rubbish apps that you get charged for that appear to be written by a 2 year old the app locks up won’t alter the product you want to use GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK YOU CROOKS.Version: 5.4.0
✓ Flase advertisingYou falsely advertised measures box pro upgrade For free when it's not. Also you falsely advertised the decibel meter is included when it’s NOT! Why was the decibel meter removed and made into a pay to use app??? Bit of a rip off.Version: 5.3.0
✓ Too many adsI don’t mind an advert or two every now and then but this app takes it to the ridiculous and therefore I have deleted it and will look at something else..Version: 4.0.0
✓ RulerNeeds instructions what user is Ruler.Version: 5.2.0
✓ InterestedVery interesting little app but not enough explanation on how to use tools such as the ruler. A little help file explaining the use of each tool for people who have no experience like me would be a big help. I know it sounds silly but I have no idea how to use this ruler or the protractor..Version: 4.0.0
✓ Won’t openJust down loaded latest version and it will not open.Version: 4.1.0
✓ No Db measurements in free app.Free app has no Db measurement reading even though the description in the AppStore says it does. Maybe I’m missing something. I deleted the app.Version: 5.1.0
✓ Please Improve MetronomeI use this app to save space on my phone compared to getting an app to do every single one of the tasks it does. The most commonly used tool on this app for me is the metronome as I am a student musician. However, I’ve noticed on the metronome that the subdivision beats aren’t always even, at faster tempo rates especially. Another feature that would be handy is if you could use the metronome with the screen off. As it is if I want to play through a song with the metronome I have to leave the screen on and it wastes my battery. Overall though this app was a great idea..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Good but could be great.,I love the App but there are no instructions so unable to use some of the tools. My Altimeter doesn’t seem to work at all. I’m disappointed..Version: 4.0.0
✓ What happened to the Db Meter?I don’t use this app very often because I don’t have a need for many of the functions. I downloaded this app originally for the decibel meter because of the occasional loud noises where I live. The other morning, there was some very loud noises and I opened up the app to find out how loud the noise was, but the Db meter was gone! The image of the app in the App Store shows the Db meter. Why was it removed? I had to find a different app to measure noises..Version: 5.3.0
