### 1/5 — Crash!!!

*2019-12-11, version 5*

..... And then crash. When not crashing, it's crashing! 😪

### 1/5 — This app does not work

*2019-10-29, version 5*

The program turns off when using an internal sound source

### 1/5 — Crash before measurement

:(

### 1/5 — Did not work as discribed

*2019-02-20, version 5*

### 1/5 — App is unfit for purpose.

*2019-01-29, version 5*

This app seems to be unfit for purpose. Claims to offer connection to external amplifier/loudspeaker but this feature does not function in anyway, consequently any measurements are meaningless.

### 1/5 — The app locked up every time it is used

*2016-09-21, version 2.2*

I have redownloaded the app and once you run the sound test it just sits on the same screen with no indication of anything. Please fix thanks

### 1/5 — Rubbish - doesn't work

*2016-01-23, version 1.5.2*

I get to the 'microphone' screen, it asks me to turn my phone 180 degrees, but nothing happens.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work guidance is horrible

*2022-03-06, version 5.1*

All it does is measure ambient room noise.  There is no testing and no guidance. How could they possibly release this to the public.

This is disgraceful

### 1/5 — Not functional!

*2021-11-08, version 5.1*

I have tried this app with 2 different iphones and an ipad. I cannot get the sound output to speakers that are connected via bluetooth, airplay or cable. It simply doesn’t work. There must be an issue in the app that doesn’t allow the sine sweep to be output to anything than the device speaker itself. 
Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Unbrauchbar- stürzt immer ab

*2021-06-09, version 5*

Leider komplett ohne Funktion, da es jedes mal bereits vor dem Messen abstürzt!

### 1/5 — Dose not work

*2021-05-25, version 5*

Constantly crashes, I think the app is out of date with recent updates to iPhones

### 1/5 — The app keeps crashing !

### 5/5 — Top!

*2023-10-21, version 6.0.1*

Perfekt!

### 5/5 — Przydatna

*2017-03-10, version 2.3*

Aplikacja jest bardzo intuicyjna i posiada bardzo ładną oprawę graficzną. Same wyniki z aplikacji porównywałem z "profesjonalnym" sprzętem i wyniki są bardzo zbliżone co jest naprawdę godne podziwu ze względu na fakt że używa się do wszystkiego iphona.

### 5/5 — Top app

*2016-02-07, version 2.0*

Few niggles on first version that were soon rectified. Internal microphone worked fine for me on a iPhone 6. New impulse (clap / balloon pop) works a treat.

### 3/5 — Konzept top; AirPlay Flop

*2024-09-26, version 6.0.1*

Die App bietet die fantastische Möglichkeit den Raum akustisch auszumessen. Leider kann das Messsignal jedoch nicht auf die Lautsprecher gelegt werden. Durch das Klatschen ermittel ich bei jeder Messung unterschiedliche Werte

### 3/5 — Crashes when adding additional measurements

*2020-02-16, version 5*

Crashes when trying to record a 2nd measurement

### 3/5 — hmm ...

*2016-04-02, version 2.1*

it had can't used in iPad3. also iphone 5s too. 

you have to check it more.

### 2/5 — Partially doesn’t work

*2018-07-05, version 5*

This apps is designed really well, but on an iPhone X, it doesn’t recognize a 3.5mm input, so I’m unable to test the acoustics in my room with my studio monitors. I was using the app to get a good sense of how the pro version would work, but the free version needs to at least work with an output source to be anywhere near accurate. It also wasn’t compatible with my Focusrite 2i2 plugged in via USB, which means I couldn’t use my microphone as a source to measure room sound. Please fix this app, it’s the best looking and easiest to use on the App Store. I will correct my review and purchase the pro version when that happens.

### 2/5 — Failed at using external mic or speaker.

*2018-04-29, version 5*

I want to use the iphone microphone and use my full range speakers, so I connect my iphone to my speakers usong a stereo aux cable but when I run it, it plays the sone swipe through iphone speakers. I also tried this with iphone headphone it still plays through iphone speaker. Help me out!!

### 2/5 — Interesting app, but not of much practical use

*2016-08-30, version 2.2*

The app works smoothly and as described, but I doubt it does anything useful. The iPhone speaker is unable to reproduce low enough frequencies to measure the low end characteristics of a space, consequently the recommendations for buying acoustic treatment are unlikely to be accurate. A sales tool rather than a serious measurement app.
