Sehr praktisch, um den Pitch zu justieren. ### 5/5 — What I've been looking for *2017-04-23* When I was a kid I had a strobe disc and a neon test light to measure turntable speed. Both lost over the years. This app fills that need quite well. ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-02-28* Does what I need it to do, no issues whatsoever... most straightforward strobe application on the app store for checking your turntable's RPM. Props to developer. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I need a printer? Seriously? *2022-03-09* I wasn’t counting on needing a printer to use this. ### 1/5 — Incorrect on iPhone 13 *2021-11-05* Does not produce correct frequency, at least with an iPhone 13. ### 1/5 — Not Helpful *2019-09-02* Glad it was free because it did not seem to work. Not intuitive. No clear indication if speed was correct. I changed my tat speed drastically with visible change on the display. Glad I had a strobe on my table to set correctly again. Waste of a sheet of paper and time. Disappointing. 😞 ### 3/5 — Does this work at 45rpm? *2018-09-29* Does this work at 45rpm? ### 3/5 — Not working on iPhone 8 Plus *2018-05-29* Worked fine on my iPhone 7 but not working on iPhone 8plus. Tried numerous times and reinstalled, strobedisc flickers and won’t settle please fix! 👍🏽 ### 3/5 — Eh... *2018-03-11* I was unable to print off a strobe disc, but I didn’t think that would matter much since I have a nice printed vinyl disc already. However, I was struggling to get my speed set. In the end, my deck was a bit too fast, but reading slow according to the app. I went back to my LED nightlight, and got it dialed in. ### 5/5 — Strobe light works perfectly *2026-07-22* The strobe light works perfectly with my physical stroboscope disc that I already owned. Wasn’t able to print the stroboscope disc through the app but that wasn’t needed ### 5/5 — Not idiot proof *2023-02-09* In order to use this app properly one needs to know if they have a 50 or 60 hz motor. I downloaded and printed the proper speed checker. Preprinted speed disc are also available for 15-20 through mail order. When done properly this app works totally gets the job done. ### 5/5 — Great for Empire Turntable Owners *2021-08-11* This app is great to ensure that my 1975 Empire 598 III Troubadour turntable is spinning at the proper speed. Since there is already a strobe disc built-in to the center portion of the platter for both 45rpm and 33 1/3rpm, the 60hz strobe light setting within this app lets me adjust the rotational speed properly until it is locked-in completely for proper playback. Other apps will give you ballpark figures, but only a strobe will give you a proper reading every time. Highly recommend to turntable owners that already own strobe discs or platters. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2020-07-14* Very simple, easy to use. Sorted the speed on my Gyrodec in a couple of mins. Thank you. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Funktioniert perfekt! *2020-05-03, version 1.2* Tut das, was es soll. ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-04-30* This was the only app I found that actually helped me fix my turntable. It was straightforward and quick to use. I wish it included a 45 rpm strobe disc as well, but I was able to find one online. ### 5/5 — Works great! *2020-02-10* I didn’t try their strobe disc, but the strobe matched up accurately with the one on my technics turntable. Pretty cool! ### 5/5 — Works fine *2019-11-05* I have the app on an old iPhone 5 and it works well. Very useful free app. ### 5/5 — Fine *2019-10-22* Wirk fine ! Vert good app. I use ut with my own stribe disk. App is simple and awesome. Good job. ### 5/5 — Works great *2019-10-22* Thank you for this very simple and useful app. My turntable did not come with a built in strobe, but did include speed control. I purchased a stroboscopic disc but using it with household lamps was fine but not as simple as I would have hoped. After trying a few other strobe apps, which gave varied results, I have found this app works the best. Simple and effective, and appears to work on both 50 and 60 htz settings. Music sounds great. Thank you. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
