| 2024-12-02 |  | | The sine wave generator doesn't work below 34hz. Made me chase an non existent issue. Just to find out it was the app not making any sound. |
| 2024-09-21 |  | | Yes, you're right! I've found it, thanks! However, it would be nice if it could display the average key based on the notes and frequencies it detects. |
| 2024-06-06 |  | | Very powerful app at an unbelievable price. Seriously for what this app is capable of doing, people have easily paid a hundred bucks for in the past. It seemlessly pairs with a Dayton Audio imm6-c and many other popular calibrated mics. My biggest advice and the imo is one of the best things about this app, is the HELP section!! Or technically the manual!! It is the best manuals/help section I've seen in a very long time. Every single option available is explained in great detail with photos!! |
| 2024-03-21 |  | | pros: tons of features and tools, made by people that understand audio, cons: GUI and settings menu are hilariously bad. Can't make it scale dynamically from negative to 0 like a DAW, grid and colors are an eyesore. Calibration and file location needs improvement. Runs slower than its competition. Response: I can't say on here or review may get removed. Download 3 analyzers with the highest reviews, they will all look better and run smoother. Your's has more features though. |
| 2024-02-13 |  | | This is a great app with a deep toolbox for evaluating speakers & room acoustics. My only caveat is the accuracy of the app depends on the Sound Settings of your phone. I got a big "smile" response curve when I first measured a quality speaker. I later went into my phone settings and turned off all enhancers like Atmos, and chose "flat" for other eq options. NOW the signal generator outputs a flat signal. This needs to be mentioned in the app description. |
| 2023-11-24 |  | | I cannot find where to upload a calibration file for my microphone. This used to be a feature but appears to no longer be present. Not being able to zoom in on the bands is an inconvenience too. Also, the noise generation functions seem broken On Google Pixel 6 |
| 2023-06-27 |  | | I have a Dayton Mic. A Motorola Stylus phone. I have no Audio Tool folder on my phone. I can only move my Calibration File to internal storage on my phone, I have no way of getting the Audio Tool Folder into my internal storage. I've saved files on the Audio Tool app but this does not help me find a way to move my calibration into Audio Tool. After Using 1/3 Octave Calibration I am unable to Load Cal. If I can't load my Cal File I'd like my money back please. |
| 2023-06-12 |  | | Many thanks for a great app. It has always worked every time for me. So many great features. The only thing I could possibly ask for is "transfer function" along the lines of SMAART etc. But I understand that is a whole other level. If you are bored and want to build a phone based 2 channel analyzer ... hint hint LOL if I trusted anyone to do a good job it'd be you :-) |
| 2023-03-24 |  | | When I boot the app I get a frustratimg glitch where it asks for permission to use the microphone I grant it and then it closes down and says the app needs access to the microphone and storage. I go to the app permissions and it hasn't even asked to use storage and microphone access has been granted. Reinstalled and restarted and it still persists. This looks very useful and I hope this will be resolved soon so I can use it. |
| 2022-09-01 |  | | Amazing "All in one" facilities. It looses 1 star due to a seemingly random bug which happens sometimes when I switch apps such as: full resolution graph will be missing; missing stored graph display, so have to re-display, but loses ability to display multi graphs. All can be solved after restarting the app, set dB scales will be restarted though. The menu GUI could be optimized better such it doesn't make you scroll as laborously. |
