### 2/5 — So many ads!

*2024-03-26, version 2.4*

I couldn’t even test the free version to evaluate.

### 3/5 — Rien compriss

*2024-02-04*

J’ai un devoir de physique chimie à faire dessus g rien compris

### 2/5 — Way too many ads

*2023-07-29, version 2.2*

Every time you do anything it plays an ad. Start a tone play an ad. Stop a to e play an ad. Minimize app and come back another ad. Garbage takes 5 minutes to play anything g because of all the ads

### 2/5 — Version gratuite sans intérêt

*2023-07-14*

Pas possible, à moins de payer, d’avoir une fréquence exacte. Il y a un curseur mais impossible de régler une fréquence car il est tres imprécis. Ou c’est fait exprès. Donc aucun intérêt pour la version gratuite.

### 5/5 — 素晴らしい！

*2022-11-02*

再生ボタンを押せば普通に使える。オーディオ機器で再生するなら、最初は音量を下げている状態にするのは常識。広告は下に表示されるので、全く影響は受けない。
なぜ低い評価の人がいるのか理解できない。
もし可能でしたら、さらに細かな調整ができるようにしてほしい。楽器の調整に使えるようになると使用する人が増えるでしょうね。
お気に入りのアプリです。

### 5/5 — Essential for testing

*2022-06-22, version 2.0*

Use this to test my horn loaded subwoofers for leaks. Awesome for demonstration,,, although my wife is on the warpath after vibrating the jars off shelves.

### 1/5 — Crashes before I can export even though I paid for the feature

*2022-02-17, version 1.9*

Crashes before I can export even though I paid for the feature

### 5/5 — 手動入力について

*2022-01-31*

調子連鎖と手動入力時のキーボードは、
数字しか入力しないので、テンキーにしてほしい。

手動入力ボタンを押しただけでテンキーも表示してほしい。
（1アクション）
（現在は手動入力ボタンを押して、入力箇所を押さないと
キーボードが出てこない、2アクション）

手動入力画面に、キャンセルボタンをつけてほしい。
（ボタンに手が当たってしまった時が面倒なので）

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2022-01-19, version 1.9*

Paid for an app and wants another .99 to get functions 
Scam.

### 5/5 — Мага

*2022-01-05*

### 1/5 — Ad scam

*2026-07-28, version 2.4*

Downloaded, tried to use it once and it sent me to an advertiser website. I deleted the app immediately. Useless.

### 1/5 — Nicht nutzbar ohne Zahlung

*2026-04-17*

Ich wollte die App gerade testen. Leier kann ich mit dem Schieberegler die gewünschte Frequenz nicht exakt einstellen. Eine manuelle Eingabe ist ohne Bezahlung nicht möglich. Für mich unbrauchbar. Wird gelöscht.

### 1/5 — Obnoxious and Annoying Pop up Ads

*2026-04-02, version 2.4*

Ads suddenly pop up and cover the whole screen with no options making the 20 Hz tone generator unusable.  Not like other App Ads that show up at the  bottom off the screen  and give you the option to skip Ad after 30 seconds or so if you are not interested. Terrible to use for short periods and definitely not conducive to encouraging anyone to upgrade.

### 1/5 — Ruined

*2026-03-26, version 2.4*

Used to be a nice stripped down utility. Now you’ve got to agree to ten different things before it will open, and if you set your privacy settings too high then oh no it just won’t let you use the app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t go lower than 10hz

*2025-12-24, version 2.4*

Doesn’t go lower than 10hz

### 1/5 — Ruined by ads

*2024-12-18, version 2.4*

Another decent app completely ruined by the greed of ads. Ads pop up every time you want to use it and it’s totally unusable totally worthless piece of junk. Just deleted it. Time to look for something else people.

### 1/5 — Shame

*2024-02-20, version 2.4*

Was great, now useless because the ads lock it up.

### 1/5 — Was a great app

*2023-12-11, version 2.3*

Used to rely on this to test our audio equipment.  But the ads are all over the place now.  Lately, it doesn’t work with some of our connected Bluetooth speakers.  There are so many other apps now that it doesn’t make any sense to use this one anymore.  It was good at the beginning.   Not anymore.  Too bad.

### 1/5 — No point now

*2023-09-29, version 2.2*

Recent advertising changes makes it next to useless and potentially damaging depending on what you’re playing the tone through. I used to use this over Bluetooth to find rattles in cars but now adverts force you to keep tones running longer than necessary it’s pretty horrible to use.

### 1/5 — Мусорное приложение

*2023-06-20*

В бесплатной версии нельзя задать цифрами частоту. А ползунком это сделать почти невозможно. 

Плюс, ужаснейший интерфейс, не оптимизированный под новые айфоны

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-17, version 2.4*

Works every time!

### 5/5 — Re: Tone Generator

*2026-02-14, version 2.4*

Awesome application for generating tones and studying sound.

### 5/5 — I’m happy with it

*2025-07-19, version 2.4*

Very useful

### 5/5 — 최고의 어플.

*2025-06-11*

잘쓰고있습니다

### 5/5 — Работает.

*2025-04-30*

Норма

### 5/5 — Benutze ich regelmäßig

*2025-01-15*

Ich arbeite in der Veranstaltungsbranche und benutze den Tongenerator, um den KollegInnen der Beschallung Hz-genau Koppelfrequenzen mitzuteilen. Macht genau das was ich will.

### 5/5 — It totally does what it claims!!!

*2024-05-26, version 2.4*

I use it to teach people to hear God at a frequency near 11,000 Hz. Turn off the generator and it still is there, according to your faith, as Jesus said. That removes limits that we are accustomed to placing on God  God activates the Pineal Gland which Jacob discusses in the Bible when wrestling with God all night. The City of Pineal, or Jacob’s ladder can be dialed in at around 11,000 Hz. Study the Bible this way for more WISDOM and gifts from our Heavenly Father.

### 5/5 — Meilleure application de l’année

*2024-05-06*

J’ai l’acouphène chronique, j’ai testé l’application générateur de son pro, sur option bruit blanc, mon acouphène c’est réduit à près 50%, je le conseille à des personnes qui sont atteintes d’acouphène et c’est la vérité et non une publication.

### 5/5 — Manual

*2023-04-08, version 2.2*

Wish I had a manual  that explains a couple functions

### 5/5 — Super!

*2022-11-22*

Simple d’utilisation et très complet 
fonctionne sans aucun bug
