Like the desktop version, tho. *2026-01-04* Some instructions would be helpful. Can we drag and drop or import files? ### 1/5 — Bonne application mais … *2023-11-17, version 1.1.3* Bonjour J’utilise la version Free depuis le début et j’ai voulu essaie la version sur ios sur 1 an et qu’ une fois après avoir payer je me rend compte que le Youlean ne prend pas en compte ma carte audio Audient id4 sur iPhone 14 Donc j’ai payé pour rien pour et demande des esplication sur cette d’abonnement qui ne me servira pas sur mon téléphone ,me servira pas pour mesurer le lufs par le biai du micro pas ce que je voulais !! Pourquoi ce n’ai pas signaler j’aimerai bien savoir pourquoi une telle application ne prend en pas charge les carte dernière génération iOS ou peut être pour bientôt vous aller me dire ? Cordialement ### 1/5 — I want to like this, but cannot recommend it *2023-07-20* I love the idea of this, and when it works which is rare, it works pretty well. The main issues are basic functionality when inserting the audio over Nettwerk plugging into a DAW. Of the multiple times I’ve used it I only got it working once. Every other time it froze my DAW. The lack of features is also an issue. No multichannel support is a big deal when most deliverables require it. ### 1/5 — Scam ? *2023-04-19* I bought lifetime access on 13.01.23. Now ist gone and the App became useless . Whats going on? ### 1/5 — Network connection laggy *2023-01-06* Tried to use the over the network plugin on my pc to connect to the iPad, but the screen response is very laggy and only updates every second or so. I have a m1 Mac mini to going to an gigabit network and an M1 IPad Pro. ### 1/5 — microphone access on ipad makes this worthless!! *2021-12-03* for measuring a file with an iPad you have to give this tool access to the microphone. This step makes this solution worthless because you are measuring also your noise in the background. So you are receiving inaccurate results. Also if you are purchased this tool, the name from Lite to pro doesn’t change … this gives you a complete wrong impression. The idea was nice … so only one star to send out this feedback. I want my money back !!! **Developer response:** Hi, the microphone permission is necessary in order to start audio engine. Microphone is not always active, it automatically switches off if you use audio over network feature or if you connect an audio interface. Plugin doesn't use microphone at all. The app is specifically designed to always produce correct measurements. There is a name change, the free version is " LITE free", and the pro version is "LITE pro". ### 2/5 — Pice of crap *2023-06-30* A very bad connections out of 10 times l was only able to use twice, a real pice of crap. ### 3/5 — Getting there *2026-07-14* After a number of updates, this works pretty well. My issues are lack of features such as multi-channel support. It’s great with a stereo project, but that’s about half the work I do. ### 3/5 — Good app, *2022-02-14* subscription is a pain in the… why not a one off payment!!! ### 4/5 — Feature request *2022-02-13* Dear Developers, it would be a valuable addition to be able to show exact frequency values when touching the spectrum, like a crosshairs function with live values x & y to have more insight when needed. Different spectrogram view options would be welcome. Thank you for your consideration ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great meter *2024-06-26* It is a great and good looking app. The only downside: I could not use another device to input audio in the standalone app on my iPhone. Via Garageband it works. I emailed them about it and hopefully they explain how to do it. EDIT: Yeah! I figured it out. I had to reconnect the USB-cable from my iPhone (not the Lightning-connection) while the app is on. Then it works. ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2023-10-20, version 1.1.3* Clear, stable and efficient, no bug… Bravo! ### 5/5 — Amazing 🤩 *2022-03-30* 5 Stars Amazing App 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 ### 5/5 — Good functionality in free version *2022-02-14* I love it when developers give you a useful product, and the OPTION to upgrade it to make it even more useful. Youlean works well and does an important job. ### 5/5 — Great job ! *2022-02-13, version 1.1.0* Just what I was expecting. Using an iPad instead of my computer: less ressources used and no more graphic issu ;) ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2022-02-08* Amazing tool, it is like an RTW in your pocket. It would be amazing if it could provide a spectrogram and stereo view as well. ### 5/5 — Great app essential for my work *2022-02-05* I use YLM as Pro version on my Mac and lite here on iPhone. Stable and reliable. Thanks for this great tool! ### 5/5 — Finally *2021-10-09* I have already suggested this kind of apps for Metering to Apple Logic remote but they didn't come up with anything. But Youlean did. Hope that It saves me some CPU power on my Daw. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
