Advice and answers for match night
What happens on the first launch?
After a short onboarding you name the team you cheer for (up to 18 characters) and pick its colour. Then the app asks about notifications for the daily reminder; any answer is fine.
What is the night marked Sample?
It is an example night in your journal so you can open a full report before your first match. It has no clips.
Can I see the tutorial again?
Yes. Settings → Show tutorial again replays the tips on Match, New match, Live, Report, Journal and Party.
How do I start a match?
Match → Start match, choose the sport, adjust the periods and minutes if you need to, name both teams and press Start listening. Allow microphone access the first time, then press Kick off.
The gauge does not move.
Check that Fonmeter has microphone access in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone. If another app is using the microphone, the Listening stopped screen appears; close the other app and resume.
The numbers look too high or too low for my room.
Use Settings → Calibration to move the scale by up to ±20 dB. Phones have different microphones, so a small shift is normal.
Can I lock the screen or use Table mode?
Yes. The meter keeps listening when the screen is locked. Table mode (the moon button) dims the screen while it measures; tap anywhere to come back.
I ended a half too early by mistake.
Ending a period before its time is up asks for confirmation first. If you confirmed it, the next period starts from the break screen and the night stays saved.
The app closed during the match.
Nights are saved every 5 seconds. Open Fonmeter again and choose Continue or Save. A night that runs for 4 hours ends on its own.
How is the night rated?
The report gives every night a rating from Library through Warm-up, Lively and Loud night up to Wall of noise, based on the peak, how much of the night was loud and how long the biggest roars lasted.
Which moments get a clip?
Every roar the app detects and every Goal, Their goal or Moment you tap keeps a clip of about 10 seconds. Open Moments in the report and press Play all to hear them in a row.
A roar has no clip.
Check Settings → Keep roar clips. When it is off, the app saves levels and statistics but no sound.
How do I free up space?
Settings → Storage shows how much the clips take. Delete all clips removes them (you get a few seconds to undo); nights, records and awards stay.
How do I share a night?
In the report press Share, pick Roar card, Season card or Duel card and a background, then send it through the iOS share sheet.
How do I find a night?
Journal → Nights → Filter lets you pick a sport, show only nights with clips and sort by Newest, Loudest or Most roars.
Which records are kept?
The loudest night, the longest roar, the most roars, the longest silence and the quietest night.
How do awards work?
There are 16 awards. Some unlock in one night, others count up over the season and show their progress. Tap an award to see what it needs.
How does Chant duel score?
Two sides take turns of 5, 10 or 15 seconds over 1, 3 or 5 rounds. A turn scores 60% from its average, 40% from its peak and up to 10 bonus points for staying above 90 fon. A tie goes to sudden death.
How does Goal scream work?
Add 2 to 12 players and pass the phone. After GOAL! appears each player has 12 seconds: 10 points for every second of screaming plus 2 for every fon of the peak above 80. If the scream is not heard, the turn repeats.
Hold the silence ends straight away.
The app measures the room for 3 seconds and sets the limit just above it. A sound over the limit for longer than 0.3 seconds ends the round, so switch off the TV and try again.
How do I leave a game?
Press close. If the game has started, the app asks whether to leave so a round is never lost by accident.
Can I change or turn off the reminder?
Settings → Notifications switches the daily reminder on or off. Sound and Haptics have their own switches there too.
What is Ear guard?
A banner that reminds you to rest your ears when the room has been very loud for a long time. Turn it on or off in Meter settings.
How do I start over?
Settings → Reset journal deletes all nights, records and awards after a confirmation. This cannot be undone.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. Fonmeter has no account and no servers; everything stays on your iPhone. Read the Privacy Policy for the details.
