Hard to use

This app is not user friendly. The controls are clunky and hard to figure out. Also, you can’t see the spectrogram in landscape.. It used to work when you rotated the phone, but now it stays in portrait. It no longer serves my purpose for this reason.

Verbesserungsfähig

Mag die App. Aber zwei Dinge stören mich:
1. Start dauert viel zu lange. Brauche die App sofort einsatzbereit, das animierte Logo nervt nur.
2. Wenn ich meine Airpods 3 Pro trage, Musik höre und die App starte wird die Lautstärke voll aufgedreht.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear about the issue you are facing. Can you please send an email to techsupport@oxfordwaveresearch.com and give us some more details on the issue? Your device model, iOs version, any other apps running simultaneously, etc.?

Limited spectrum bandwidth

The app only operates to 8khz I was expecting to see the upper frequencies nearer 20khz plus

100 Hz 以下に問題

Spectrogramで入力の周波数を対数目盛で見ると、約100 Hz以下の領域で音を拾えていない事がわかった。修正されると嬉しい。
使用機種はiPhone 12 Plus、iOSは最新。

Le meilleur

Simple, efficace, rien à dire

Great app, heaps of features.

Has heaps of features, and works well. The web file transfer is great for images and csv data and the tap to freeze peaks in the Freq Analyser view is a nice addition. Has a really good help section for those wanting more information.

Note for the devs: great app, so im being picky here. It would be handy if the fade-outs on the tap label could be toggled, or if the csv data from the web file access could match the analysis resolution settings.

Wird nicht mehr gepflegt, stürzt ab

Wird die App nicht mehr gepflegt? Das Speichern von Dateien zb in iCloud, Adobe Creative Cloud usw ist nicht mehr möglich. Es passiert nichts, stürzt ab oder es erscheint die Meldung, die Kommunikation zu irgendeiner ominösen Hilfs-App sei nicht möglich. Ausserdem: Wozu beim Start der App immer dieses ewig lange Intro mit Logo und Animation? Das frisst nur Zeit und ist absolut unnötig. Alle anderen Apps sind performant und blitzschnell - nur SpectrumView besteht (aus Eitelkeit der Entwickler?) darauf, dieses zeitfressende nervige Logo beim Start anzuzeigen.

Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Unsere App wird weiterhin gepflegt, jedoch konnten wir das beschriebene Problem leider nicht nachvollziehen. Unser QA Team wäre dankbar, wenn Sie die Details des Problems für besseres Verständnis in einer Email an techsupport@oxfordwaveresearch.com schildern könnten.

Outstanding, but...

I have used this software for years on my phone and the insights it has given to me have been phenomenal. I have used it to look at the sounds of musical instruments and the changing tonality of teacup-chings dependening where the tea cup is tapped.

The basic functionality is excellent, but I have struggled to try to download the data as a .csv file.

The web link given does not work and I have no idea how the alleged "iTunes file sharing" works.

Given how good the. rest of teh application is this is really disappoint - hence not 5 stars.

My issue is why won’t the grid lines STAY OFF

It saves every setting I put in place through even restarts but it turns the grid lines on SPECIFICALLY, and CONSTANTLY, to a point where I’m wondering if it’s my phone glitching or the app, cause it’s not me, I would have accidentally pressed any other button in settings by now, but it’s just always the grid lines and I always find myself turning them off- BUT, that’s my only issue with the app, so if you like grid lines this may be a five star review for you.

Didn’t work for me

Worthless. Settings keep resetting on their own —set sample rate and maximum frequency and they reset when I uploaded a couple tracks I wanted to analyze. Go change it again and play the track and guess what, reset! After doing this a countless number of times I gave up! Not too mention I have settings set to display spectrogram when using playback or record but no it just stays in playback! Also when I do switch to spectrogram view while playing a track I can’t pause or pan! I want my money back!!! I can’t deal with worthless waste of time!

Crashes on playback

The app crashes when I try to play an iTunes song.

高機能・高性能

お勧めです。

It’s the best spectrum app.

This is my favorite frequency analysis app. Incredibly useful and insightful. You can plug your music in or use the mic. A total pleasure to use on drugs. Sometimes it clips when I run my own tracks on it though that’s pretty minor.

Geniales FFT Werkzeug für die Entwicklung

Nutze diese App beruflich in der Fahrzeugentwicklung. Die App dient zur schnellen und unkomplizierten Analyse von Störgeräuschen. Es werden Ergebnisse geliefert, welche sonst nur durch aufwändige und teure spezial Messtechnik zu bekommen sind.

Gutes Tool

Benutze diese App schon seit Jahren. Macht was es soll und ist ohne Schnickschnack trotzdem kann man aber wichtige Einstellungen vornehmen.

Great app, and glad to give the author some money

The original, free SpectrumView was an eye-opener about the way a device like the iPhone could change the landscape of tools: quite unexpectedly, and without spending a cent, I suddenly had in my hand a fair equivalent of a kilo-buck spectrum analyzer; a tool I’d needed from time-to-time over the years, but “knew” I’d never own, or even have access to.

It’s been great that the author(s) have continued to support the tool over the years, and, at some stage, even began extending it. I’m glad to have a number of those extensions, and, in this “Plus” version, to obtain them without the hassle of in-app purchases. Also, after so many years, I’m happy to put some money in the author’s pocket for all that work.

(As to the reviewer who stated that the app has an 8 kHz frequency limit: go to settings and pick an audio sampling rate twice that of the maximum frequency of interest; even my iPhone 5s has no problem reaching 24 kHz. Whether the iPhone microphone is responsive to such frequencies, and equally responsive across whatever frequency range it does handle, is another matter, but that’s what external mics are for.)

Graph only goes to 8k

Seriously

Free version is great; expected more from plus

The free version is very cool. Pretty amazing for a free app.

The plus version, not so much. In the time-domain view, you can't zoom in or out in the time domain (left/right); only up/down (frequency). Also, in both versions, the time scale (x axis) has horrible increments and tick marks. Like, 2.8 seconds, 5.7 seconds, 8.5 seconds (!!!). It's almost impossible to read the duration of any event, especially since you can't move the waveform left/right.

Another enhancement I'd like to see would be the ability to put a marker on multiple peaks in the spectrum analyzer and maybe even a peak finder.

In the time domain, the ability to put multiple markers and record the time between markets/events would be great.

Exports to other programs.

A good program is stable, but please add the function of record exports to other programs.

Хорошая программа, работает стабильно, но, пожалуйста добавьте функцию экспорта аудиозаписи в другие программы.

Zu Teuer....

Die Idee ist gut, aber 20 - 1000 Hz Fehlen.
