Welcome to your sound and music laboratory! WHAT IS SOUNDOSCOPE? soundOscope is your microscope for sounds. You can record tones and noises and play them back. Of course you can analyze them in detail. You can: - play back recordings slower and faster - add echo and amplify or soften the signal - zoom sounds in and out to look at them - play recordings forward or backward - send your own recorded and edited works to e-mail recipients By means of in-app purchase you can add more features to the editing functions. For example, you can cut and edit any section and paste it into another position. By this, you can create many surprising sound effects. Even while you are playing back already recorded sounds you can create new ones along with them and record everything together again. Have fun!

When I send to an email the app just send only my track, there is no effects and nothing, just like voice recorder😤😤😤 Plz fix this ### 5/5 — Awesome *2019-01-18* I love this app had it since my iPhone 4s ### 5/5 — Geniale App *2017-01-18, version 1.2* Diese App ist mehr als genial. Sie ist super einfach zu bedienen und und enthält einfach alles was ich erwartet habe. Man kann Töne aufnehmen, dabei analysieren lassen, schneller und langsamer abspielen. Dabei hat man die Frequenz immer ein Auge. Ein megaguter Analysator. Vielen Dank für diese App. ### 4/5 — Does what it says *2015-02-23, version 1.2* This app does what it says, that is: trim the sound, cut the sound, increase the volume, increase the speed, export the sound via email or airdrop and import the sound via either recording or digital file (such as email attachment). The UI for sound editing could be a little bit confusing, and it would be nice if I could increase the sound's volume to more than 4 times louder. ### 3/5 — Toller Ansatz *2014-12-02, version 1.1* Mit ein paar bugs. Kinderleichter Umgang mit selbsterstellten Sounddateien schon für Grundschulkinder. Super! Allerdings empfehle ich eine sofortige externe Sicherung der Aufnahmen und Ergebnisse, da die App bei mir teilweise einfach bestehende Dateien durch neue Aufnahmen ersetzte, obwohl ich diese nicht explizit speicherte. Dies war sehr ärgerlich, da Arbeitsergebnisse dadurch verloren gingen. Sonst ist die App phantastisch als Einstieg für Kinder und Erwachsene Anfänger. ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2013-06-14* I can only record once ### 1/5 — : ( *2013-05-23, version 1.1* This won't email edited versions ### 5/5 — Echo App *2013-03-29, version 1.1* Sehr gut! Tut was es soll. ### 4/5 — Cheap *2013-03-26* The design is so crappy looking. But it was free so I got it. I was looking for something that would slow my voice down. And out of all the free ones I got, this app is the only one that does it. It also does other effects of course. It looks like a childrens drawing but it's easy and intuitive. You need to buy the 1.99 version if you want to cut and edit. ### 1/5 — No...No...NNNOOO!!! *2013-03-19* This is really really bad you have to BUY all the editing tools JUST CHARGE FOR THE APP INSTEAD!!!!!!!! 😡👿🔥💢🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👎👎👎👎👎 ## Frequently asked questions about soundOscope ### What can I do with soundOscope? soundOscope allows you to record sounds, analyze them in detail, and manipulate them.
