**HAA CinemaTools, #1 Home Cinema test and measurement app New in this release: -Added "Add Row" button to main screen -Fixed saving plots on the FFT Subs mdoules -Fixed: HAA CinemaTools can now connect to Surround Generator on Apple TV. -App version is now shown on the home screen for easier support. HAA Hyperion Filter Panel — changes: - Improved Hyperion HAA Link communcations - Now allows +/-40db per channel level changes in Hyperion - Individual filter on/off function fixed - Hyperion is now source of truth: panel reads level/delay/polarity/filters from the unit on open, channel change, and re-show - Writes only on explicit edit or Clear/All-Off/Import (no more bulk re-send) - Fixed clobber: channel switch no longer re-applies stale filters or floods the command queue - Live polling: idle panel auto-refreshes from the unit in real time - Faster controls: Level/Delay update ~2×/sec while holding stepper - Keyboard: full numeric keyboard (docks) instead of decimal pad — fixes the 2nd-tap QWERTY bug - Edited filter scrolls above the keyboard - Control Layout: freq plot to top; Level/Delay/Polarity scroll with the filters - Filter limits match Hyperion: gain ±12 dB, Q 0–30; channel Level ±40 - Known limitation: untested on remapped-channel Hyperion (L ≠ output 1) -Bug fixes and stability improvements

Invaluable if doing speaker repair

Great little app- I use it for polarity checks of individual drivers and checking that everything works. And making sure the crossover works- a crude check, but very helpful.

Great potential but buggy as hell

Really disappointed that such an expensive app is so buggy. I’ve lost hours of data in the RTA by pressing the wrong button in the wrong order. The new Notification feature (which one has to use for something as basic as setting a threshold to record audio events) makes no sense and doesn’t seem to work.

Sure I could rtfm but the manual doesn’t work. Pressing Info just brings up a blank screen. The online manual is very old. I sent an email to the developer on all this but his response was basically, “well it works for me”.

The last straw came after using the SPL graph. I froze it and saved the reading. Then upon doing another one, my first graph was overwritten! Save/Recall is completely unreliable. So I’m having to take screenshots and save them in the iPad Notes app.

These are just the issues I’ve discovered with my limited use. Until they start fixing things I suggest you look elsewhere.

Inaccurate polarity tester

Not very good for polarity testing

Please fix

I bought the full version and everything but now the app crashes consistently on launch. This could be because it’s not compatible with IOS 12. Either way this needs to be fixed

Response from developer

Hi! Please update to v2.0 which is now available and has full iOS 12 support. Cheers, Andrew

Powerful sound tools

Great set of tools, when used with iTestMic2 to solve a lot of common sound testing issues.
