Won’t launch on iPad

Won’t launch at all on iPad and several places in app you can’t get out of forcing you to force end app and restart. Tone generator works well

Trash

You would think for an app that you have to pay for you could at least have a back button. This app is trash. Who ever approved this ought to be fired.

Frustrating App

I was hoping for a useful program to examine different changes in speaker and enclosure variables. This application consistently freezes and provides frustration and no answers. Highly disappointing support for a company that clouts it over 50 years old. That is a lot of time to potentially figure things out, or not!
