### 4/5 — Great start

*2021-11-01*

This is a great concept and worth the price. To be useful for microphone selection I would love to see frequency charts and polar plots and more brands such as telefunken, heil and se electronics.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Amazing for getting the facts quickly!

*2020-07-18*

It’s so much easier having all the information I need when working on a system in one app versus searching through multiple manufacturers websites to find some obscure specification page.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.2 — 2024-09-26

Checked for latest iOS compatibility.

### 1.1.1 — 2021-03-18

Adds support for Adamson loudspeakers. The app store listing has also been updated to comply with the new privacy information rules (tl;dr: SoundSpecs doesn't collect any data about you or your device).

### 1.1.0 — 2020-09-30

New in SoundSpecs v1.1.0:

-iPad Support-
SoundSpecs now fully supports iPadOS, and all of the big-screen joy that comes with it!

-Multi-tasking-
One of the most heavily requested features was the ability to compare two entries. With multi-window support on iPad, you can now open two SoundSpecs windows side-by-side and compare away to your heart's content. Hell, open another window in Slide-over and get some three-way comparisons going! The sky* is the limit!

-Dark Mode-
No more burning your retinas off when the lighting department go dark with no warning - now SoundSpecs can go dark too!

-Localis(z)ation-
The groundwork has been laid behind the scenes for supporting different languages in the app, starting with English(US). So if you have an aversion to the letter "U", SoundSpecs has you covered. If you speak a language other than English, and would like to be involved with translating SoundSpecs, get in touch through the Settings page in the app!

*The actual limit is three. But that's still pretty neat!

### 1.0.2 — 2020-09-19

Fixes compatibility issues with iOS 14.

### 1.0.0 — 2020-05-27
