## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5 — 2026-03-25

Score card now shows more context.
The Bass Flatness Score now reads "Smoother than most rooms" when your bass response is excellent — giving you a clearer sense of where you stand relative to a typical room.
If a room mode is present, the score card now shows the exact frequency and level (e.g. "46 Hz peak +10 dB — room mode") so you know what's driving the issue at a glance.

### 1.4 — 2026-03-22

Smarter bass analysis. The app now consistently detects broad room modes — including dominant low-bass peaks — and displays them directly on the Measure screen alongside other detected features. Tips & Fixes is streamlined with a single clear diagnosis at the top, followed by ranked action steps with no conflicting advice. AirPlay measurements now use automatic timing alignment for accurate results when using an external calibrated microphone. USB microphones stay connected between sweeps without requiring an app restart.

• Room Mode Detection — identifies bass buildup at your room's natural resonant frequencies and explains what's causing it
• Clearer results — Detected Features redesigned with plain English fix guidance
