Accuracy using a phone relies on the crap microphone in the phone.
It's frequency range will be very limited (it's really designed to pick up speech only) and it is likely to be little better than useless. OK maybe for comparison purposes only, eg if you have 2 amps and need to know their volume settings so that both are equally loud.
