One of the best Audiophile Apps on iPhone!
Originally, I really had no clue what this app was but after one week in which I wanted to use REW to tune my Hi-Fi Rooms, I decided to give this app a try and after reading the guides on HouseCurve’s website, I setup tests through my main system, and after much tinkering with settings in both HouseCurve and Roon, I can happily confirm and report that this amazing app has helped my Hi-Fi system sound better than ever!!!!
Also if you’re annoyed about the $10 tuning payment, that’s all you have to pay, no more or less, and way cheaper than doing tuning with a measuring mic along with something like REW, and it’s a lot simpler to use HouseCurve anyways as well!!!
Seriously, give it a try, and I believe you won’t regret it.

Works very well to generate FIR for Roon convolution
Picked up external sweep signal well. Flawless with calibrated UMik-1 running into current Mac.
Awesome App
This is a great and low cost App to run multiple sound optimisations and room corrections. With few enhancements in the plot multi-curve visualisation section it will become even better.
Kudos to the team that created this and supporting it!

Worth every penny and then some
This can be used with a parametric or graphic equalizer and you don’t have to buy a a microphone….you just use your phone. Buy it, you will love it!
Fixed my tiny room. Stunning app.
Quite stunned by the difference this app has made. An app and my phone was all it took and within a very short time my listening experience has been utterly transformed to something amazing.
Thank you!
This was exactly what i was looking for! Breathed life into my system
Very Useful
This app gives great information and the tutorials explain everything in detail. It’s so convenient using just my phone. I’ve learned a lot using it and reading the tutorials over the past year. I’ve used it on multiple car and home systems to find proper crossover settings, align phase and integrate subwoofers.

Brilliant
Fabulous piece of software which has made a real difference to the sound qulaity from my desktop/nearfield setup
Easy to use, great results and tremendous value. Recommended highly

A simpler approach with Roon
I, like many others, use Roon. This app allows me to perform room correction on my iPad with a test signal routed through Roon. The developer put together some VERY GOOD documentation on how to do this. The results for me were solid. Overall clarity is noticeably better.
For Roon users, the app produces a convolution filter that you can directly import, assuming you pay for the in-app $8 bundle purchase that is required. For me, it was well worth it. I found the overall approach MUCH simpler than the common REW + UMIK-1 path that many forums recommend.
One slight issue I had was I could not start over from scratch without uninstalling and reinstalling the app. The delete button would not remove all the curves. Could be user error, but the documentation is straightforward on how to do it, and it did not work for me.

Thanks for sharing your experience! There are two default target curves (B&K, Harman) that can't be deleted, maybe that's what you saw? If not, please reach out to support@housecurve.com, I'd be interested in learning more.
Pretty great app
So far, the app has functioned quite well. There’s only one problem I’m running into, which I’d love clarification if I’m just missing something, or if this feature isn’t available I’d love to see it in a future update. Anyways, after I EQ my group of measurements, I receive the from 1-20 EQ frequency points tk help smooth the curve. Logically, each of these pints is at the frequency to help the curve maximally. Unfortunately, that prevents me from being able to apply the curve to my head unit’s dsp. Die to the static nature of my EQ frequencies in my dsp, I’m unable to plug in the EQ numbers @32 hz, or @58 hz etc etc. my EQ frequencies are like 30hz, 50 hz, 80 hz etc etc. You give us the ability to check exactly what +db or -db is being set at any frequency, so I could add that into the dsp, but there isn’t the ability to see the Q number for that frequency at the same time. I don’t know if that was overlooked, or it’s a limitation of thr soft ware. But if that could be added it would be helpful to everyone who can’t add specific frequencies until the dsp, and are forced to stick to the ones provided. Thank you

Thanks for your comment! The equalize tool produces a set of parametric equalizer (PEQ) filters where frequency, Q (filter width) and gain are variable. The filter detail screen shows the calculated values (https://housecurve.com/docs/manual/equalize_tool.html). It sounds like you have a graphic equalizer where frequency and Q are fixed. These are not currently supported because fixed frequency and Q limits the quality of the correction. That said, I'd like to know more about your system so I can look into adding support, please shoot me a message at support@housecurve.com
