Mais intéressant pour l’expérimentation (par exemple : pour entendre précisément l’effet des battements entre fréquences sonores exactes). Ce qui est dommage, c’est qu’on ne peut pas cliquer sur l’affichage des valeurs de fréquences pour y entrer directement un nombre. ### 4/5 — auv3 please *2023-03-05* we need this on auv3 ### 4/5 — oscillator: simple & good tool *2021-07-13* i like simplicity of oscillator & it does exactly what it says. trying to understand synth-like interaction of the (3) channels, oscillators A&B and 1 noise generator. only thing i would add is something about how 3 channels interact but that would complicate it. so oscillator excellent as-is. ### 4/5 — Can’t cast it via WiFi!? *2019-01-18* I would love to connect and cast the sounds from the app to my stereo via WiFi ### 4/5 — Audio generator *2018-11-18* Works great. I checked the flatness all the way, and from 20 Hz to 17 kHz, sine-wave, and it's flat, and from 17 to 20 kHz it drops 2.1 dB. Not bad. My only complaint is that from 17-20kHz it's only about 1/8" and my manly finger almost cannot navigate very well. I do recommend this app. ### 5/5 — beautiful *2018-07-20* beautiful ### 5/5 — perfect for what it is. *2018-05-06* A no-brainer - download it to test speaker/headphone/ear response ranges. ### 4/5 — AU support please! *2018-03-29* This is a great app! Like nothing else out there. But I have two suggestions: 1) AU support so you can make an entire bank of these things, 2) pulse width control! Thanks! ### 4/5 — Please say ON not OFF *2017-12-17* As in Windows, where you tap START to SHUTDOWN, could you PLEASE have ON be ON instead of OFF? You may think it’s a “status indicator”, in which case it is correct - but it’s not, it’s an action button. That would be like saying “Click SAVE to delete this file” (because it’s already saved. The button SAYS so!) You may wish to view one of the other 16,777,216 apps that work the other way ;-) YOURS IS THE ONLY ONE BACKWARDS Otherwise, THANK YOU for a GREAT app at the right price! 😊😊😊 ### 5/5 — Great simple but flexible, Oscillator! *2017-09-21* I love this and am so glad that there is a 64bit version now! Simple but great for using as a starting point for texture making through effects, or reference tones/pitches and so on. It also has a noise source, and low pass filtering. Light weight and flexible! Many Thanks. Good vibrations! 〰🎵♥️🎚 ### 5/5 — おすすめ *2017-01-26* 音楽制作に使えます。 ### 4/5 — Only one wish.. *2016-11-28* I like this app. Very useful in certain situations. I only wish it had an LFO section :) for modulating frequency of both oscillators independently AND for modulating both filter frequencies independently. This app has major potential to produce a good drone sound. But without the LFO section it is not very musical. K. All I'm saying. Cheers, Toderz ### 5/5 — Says what it does... *2016-06-07* Does what it says. Would be nice to see a sweep function. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Naja *2026-05-18* Ich verstehe den Sinn dahinter aber was es erzeugen soll aber sie müssten noch viel mehr Funktionen haben wie zbs das man die Wellen kürzen kann das man ein guten Bass hat um es dann auf 16 Buttons zu legen. Dann noch mehrere Ebenen wo die gleichzeitig die Töne abspielen kannst etc. Ich glaube man versteht mein Ansatz aber ist wahrscheinlich schon Tod die App ### 1/5 — Stopped working properly. Only noise comes out. Loved it originally. *2023-07-06, version 1.3.3* Not working. ### 1/5 — Have to do better *2020-01-31* My teacher showed us an example of an ossltaior in class senice we are learning about waves every time I press on one it wouldn't even open I tryed to read some reviews to see if others had the same problem I saw nothing but 1 review and all it said was have to do better I could already tell that this game is unpopular PLZ DONT WASTE YOUR GOOD TIME ON DOING AN STUPID GAME TIKE THIS WHO EVER MADE THIS GAME DO BETTER! I AM NOT EVER JOKING I WOULD DO -9 IF THEY WOULD LET ME AND I TRY TO DO ZERO STARS BUT THEY WONT LET ME!!😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Not good *2018-01-05* My assistant and I used this app as the first ‘sine wave generator’ we stumbled across to align the left and right channels of a balancing box in the studio. The output level of this app are so wildly different that I thought my phone was broken, so my assistant downloaded it too.. same thing. Then we tried a different mini jack cable... same thing... then worried our balancing box was faulty... turns out this app is rubbish and not to be trusted. Wasted our time. ### 1/5 — new version is not working!! *2017-09-27, version 1.3.2* new version is not working!! ### 2/5 — not a music synthesis app *2015-02-22, version 1.3.1* also, can't play one osc without the other osc. bug. ### 2/5 — Doesn't support blue tooth. *2014-06-19, version 1.2* Like you can listen to the poor quality audio from the iPad speaker but they don't support Bluetooth. Deleted. ### 2/5 — Wozu... *2013-09-23* ...soll das denn gut sein? Gut aussehen tut es ja... ### 3/5 — Chords *2019-01-18* The only improvement this app needs, is to be able to have FOUR oscillators running simultaneously. This would be great for exploring four-part harmony & the sound of different chords. ### 3/5 — I love this app but *2017-09-21* This is one of my favorite apps but it needs to be updated for ios 11 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-10-25* Use it to create simple binaural tones and white noise to sleep. Also gives relief for tinnitus. Used it to test specific hearing loss frequencies. Truly useful free app. ### 5/5 — Exactly What I Needed *2022-10-28* Back in the early 90’s… I use to use 100% hardware to DJ in our clubs. Fast forward to today and the entire landscape has changed. While we were concerned with beat matching, it was more of an Ear Game. Our one and only CD player collected dust before anyone would touch it. As I get deeper into DAWs, I’m not understanding all the terminology and what it means. This app has been an incredible help when it comes to the different structures. I can finally understand what I’m doing in this area. ### 5/5 — Typical Kymatica! *2022-05-02, version 1.3.3* Sounds great! Works great! ### 5/5 — 👍👍👍 *2020-07-25* ☝️😈 ### 5/5 — Best tone generator for testing audio equipment *2020-06-26* I am using several tone generator apps to test a home built valve guitar amplifier. After trying several, this one is by far the best. Here’s why: 1. Log scale frequency sliders. This is so important. Down near 20 Hz, a difference of 1 hz is a big difference and you need precision of less than one Hz. Up above 2000 Hz a 1Hz difference is not very significant and you need to sweep quickly. That’s why a tone generator must have log scale frequency. Most tone gen apps don’t have it but this one does. 2. dB scale gain. Similar to the log scale frequency, if you don’t have dB scale volume control then you really can’t control the volume at the low end. This app has it. 3. More than one oscillator. If you are testing an amplifier you may want to see how it responds to a combination of a low and high frequency tone. This app does that. Most others do not. ### 5/5 — VERY AWESOME technerdculture APPROVES *2020-03-17* This is a very powerful, excellent, and useful app. MY respect for the developers. The only improvement I would make is to add a run in background and mix with audio feature. For audio filtering this is important, unequivocally. Must use. 😊🤓 ### 5/5 — 可以 *2019-11-15* 用在库乐队里面 ### 5/5 — Auch für medizinische Zwecke super! *2019-03-21* Mit dieser App kann man auch super seinen Tinnitus nachbilden. Mich plagt schon seit längerem ein Tiefton-Tinnitus und es war mir bis jetzt nicht möglich, mit dieser Einfachheit, dieses störende Geräusch nachzubilden. Vor allem, mich plagt ein Ton mit einem Oberton. Hier kann man die perfekte Mischung machen wenn man mit guten Kopfhörern arbeitet. Nun kann ich zum Ohrenarzt vorbereitet gehen und ihm meine Daten vorzeigen. ### 5/5 — Top *2018-09-12* Genau das habe ich gesucht 2 oscillators ### 5/5 — Hearing Test *2018-08-16* Worked great to “troubleshoot” my own ears! (I have tinnitus.) It would be even better if the oscillators could be individually turned on/off, but great tool for free. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
