Delivers!
Unfortunately, having been ripped off in the past on other apps, I was wary of the various apps out there for doing this. But this one is no scam! It has super useful stuff to confirm your setup. It’s clear that the author, Jeff, is a real pro and is enthusiastic about what he does. You will need the paid subscription to get the most out of it, but you can pay then cancel to get it for a full year if you’re concerned about an auto renew. Well worth the money.

Response from developer
Hello. There are three FREE test tracks you can use for as long as you want. No ads, no purchases required. An in-app subscription unlocks over 2 HOURS of high-quality content with updates and content added throughout the year. Lots of happy users - hope you change your mind and become one of them! :-)
Outstanding!
Used this app to adjust an unruly Dolby Atmos surround system. The sounds seem much more natural and dynamic! Thank you very much!
Price is ridiculous
A $25 recurring subscription for an app I’ll use once to set up my equipment and then never again!? Ridiculous. Just let me pay for the app and be done with it.
Amazing! Fully Test Dolby Atmos
I used the Audyssey MultiEQ app to dial in my Denon receiver then used this app to further conform my setup by speaker. The subscription includes a video blog with further demos. If you are ready to seriously nerd out in your home theater, this app is for you! I highly recommend subscribing for a year to try everything out.

Let’s change the goalposts
Yet another app where one pays for all the content that’s available, and then more stuff is added to the same app which one has to buy a subscription to access. This really, really annoys me!
Ok, so developers want to make as much money as they can, and I suppose for some people paying £24.99 a year (for now) is worth it, but having bought an app it annoys me to have to negotiate all the padlocked options and subscription reminders just ruins my faith in any app.
By all means release new and separate ‘deluxe’ apps with subscriptions but to simply add paywalls to previously bought apps is not good.

Same bug on 2.0
Rear speaker music bits now playing out of my side speaker during 5.1 test with the rears now silent. Worked fine on previous version. Confirmed rear speakers working via Atmos movies I have.
No need for a subscription
Paying a yearly subscription seems a bit ridiculous just to test out your audio set up. I’d happily pay for a lifetime license if the price was reasonable but paying each year is unnecessary.
Great idea, Subscription Cost is Absurd
I have used the free mode a couple of times. The yearly subscription amount is quite high. I understand the developer has costs but this is not the way to finance them. Perhaps $7 for a 6 day period or a flat, one time fee world work. This is a utility app that will be used for a few minutes on setting up a new system. Pricing should reflect this.

Bug in release 2.0
This update brings some nice visual updates, but there’s a bug in the 5.1 surround test. Rear speaker tests now play through the front speakers. Verified with another app. Please fix this ASAP.
Also it would be nice to have access to the atmos features for a smaller fee without the yearly subscription.

Helped With Testing Apple TV
I have an Apple TV 3 hooked up to an old receiver and 5 speaker setup, and am not getting surround sound through various movie streaming sites Airplay’d from my phone. I downloaded this app to my phone and ran the 5.1 check via AirPlay to my Apple TV and got the surround sound output I was looking for. So at least able to confirm my setup will work in principle.

Nice app…but
This is a great straightforward app for testing surround speakers and levels. I use it to collaborate my surround speakers and levels. Would you please consider an app update to test Atmos channels.
Does exactly what it says
I was really struggling to find a single method of testing my 5.1 setup. This app did the job perfectly, and is the only way of testing each channel correctly that I could find. Many thanks!
Subwoofer Check frequency sweeps exclude subwoofer??
The first 2 of the 4 Subwoofer Check tests do not exercise the subwoofer. Its icon stays gray, and I hear no audio from it. During the third and fourth tests, its icon is blue and I hear audio from it, but only the first 2 tests provide a frequency sweep, which is what was advertised and what I was seeking when I paid for it. Am I missing something?

Great for Testing Spatial Audio
I’m new to using AirPods Pro and the 5.1 Speaker Check was a great way to test Spatial Audio!
Works well
This app lets you see how much the spatial audio moves around the sound stage. On the new AirPods 3 it is noticeable but more subtle that I thought it would be. I would have given it 5 star if it could support 7.1 and Atmos.
Doesn’t work
This app fails to achieve its one aim - playing 5.1 audio. It just doesn’t play. No other app does what this one states it does, so I was pleased when I found it, but then let down by the app not working. What a shame. Dev, if you do iron out the bugs, add more tests like Atmos, DTS, DTS-x etc for a full on test suite.

Worked in the past, but broken now
The app doesn’t seem to be transmitting Dolby Digital 5.1 as of tvOS 14.4 (18K802). I’ve tried the native tvOS version of this app, screen mirroring, and airplay to the AppleTV. My setup is AppleTV 4K -> Samsung OneConnect box (via HDMI) -> Sonos Amp via HDMI eARC, and I have AppleTV set to Auto Audio Format (as opposed to Change Format with DD5.1, although I have tried that too to no avail). Typically, there’s an option in the Samsung settings to pass through Dolby Digital 5.1 when it senses that signal coming from the input device, and sure enough I get Dolby 5.1 in other apps (e.g. Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max), but not with this app anymore. I know it used to work like a year ago so not sure what has changed.

Doesn’t work.
Netflix test patterns work fine, this doesn’t sent to correct speakers on Apple TV 4K.
