### 3/5 — Need change bad

*2026-06-02, version 3.0.9*

It would be great if you can do up to 10 tones playing all at the same time but it’s only subpar

### 4/5 — Slide Control Only

*2026-05-28, version 3.0.9*

Being able to choose frequencies with a keyboard would be much more user-friendly than a slider.  In cases where small adjustments in frequency are required, and the exact frequency is not known beforehand, '+' and '-' buttons would come in handy.

Update:  The developer instructed me to upgrade the app, which happened automatically when I opened it.  When the app is opened, a frequency is displayed on what is actually a field for entering a frequency number, but which looks like a button-shaped display.  Not the most intuitive choice.  I would have gone with something that spelled that out, say, "Enter frequency.".

### 2/5 — limited listening ability

*2026-02-16, version 2.2*

I love this app for the ability to choose the exact Hz frequency you want.  I hate, & will be deleting the app after this, bc I want the frequency to remain playing in the background when I’m using other apps, such as watching a YouTube video.  I want the frequency playing quietly in the background of whatever other audio I’m listening to.

### 5/5 — Tone Genarator

### 3/5 — Slide Control Only

*2025-11-01, version 2.2*

Being able to choose frequencies with a keyboard would be much more user-friendly than a slider.  In cases where small adjustments in frequency are required, and the exact frequency is not known beforehand, '+' and '-' buttons would come in handy.

### 5/5 — Perfect tool for no charge

### 4/5 — Below 20 Hz.

*2025-09-18, version 2.2*

I remember being a board 15-year-old and wondering how many Hz I could hear below 20 with earbuds on but didn’t find an app that went down to one. I know most humans can’t hear below 20 Hz.

### 5/5 — Sensacional

### 1/5 — Ruined

*2026-05-21, version 3.0.5*

The last update ruined the ability to control the volume of the tone.

### 1/5 — Awesome…

*2026-04-30, version 3.0*

You totally ruined what you introduced to us. Hurrrrdurrrrr cool app yo

Um no.

### 1/5 — Ad bar blocks control

*2026-01-20, version 2.2*

No audio output after ad block arrived

### 1/5 — Not for musicians

*2025-11-29, version 2.2*

Generates tones based on frequencies only. Very limited ability to manipulate.

### 1/5 — 授業でお世話になりました

*2025-09-29*

三桜高校の池田です。物理基礎の授業でお世話になりました。

### 1/5 — No Sound

*2025-08-27, version 2.1.7*

?? I get no sound generation on my iPad. What am I missing here?

### 1/5 — Privacy Nightmare

*2025-08-23, version 2.1.7*

App comes with an extensive list of “legitimate” interest cookies and no option to reject all. For a simple tone generator that seems highly suspicious.

### 1/5 — Ouch

*2025-08-12, version 2.1.7*

No dice! No game!

### 1/5 — 100s of Trackers

*2025-07-16*

The app seems to have been developed primarily to track and stalk you. Hundreds of "vendors" are listed in the privacy settings!

### 1/5 — Close but missed the point lol

*2025-07-07*

Would’ve been great but the volume is way too low the pigeons on my balcony literally danced to it when I set it to 15khz 🤣

### 5/5 — Very useful tool

*2026-07-30, version 5.0.4*

Very useful tooi. I am a radio ham and can use it to test audio filters in my equipment.it also shows how my own hearing has changed with age.

### 5/5 — Good sine wave tool

*2026-07-26, version 5.0*

Good simple  tone oscillator, can double as a tuning source for musical instruments. A4 = 440.  Presets can be created for stringed instruments.

### 5/5 — best one i could find!

*2026-07-25, version 5.0*

best one i could find, simple and does exactly what it needs to and has the ability to go much louder than the others. but can you make it go below 20 hz? like down to 5 or something?

### 5/5 — Let’s gooo

*2026-06-30, version 4.0*

The app design is great. The program is great.

### 5/5 — Papa

*2026-05-27, version 3.0.8*

I downloaded this app and it’s great, many things i’ve learnt for my physics exam coming up and it was something really fantastic for my education. Totally recommend if a sausage is wanted in your hole.          

🥺👉🏼👈🏼

### 5/5 — Hawaiian approved 🤙🏽🙏🏽🏄🏽‍♂️🏝️

*2026-01-09, version 2.2*

#codeβreaker💚💖💙🖤

### 5/5 — Simple and Effective

*2025-12-13, version 2.2*

To experience and evaluate my hearing this app is helpful. I have professional audiograms made by audiologist. Looking at the audiogram alone does not provide a physical sense of what my hearing loss sounds like across frequencies. Using the app I can hear what my ears are capable of across frequencies.
