The most detailed Turntable Wow & Flutter display and analysis available on an iPhone. If you want the best listening experience from your turntable then its speed variation, the Wow & Flutter, is more of a problem than a low or fast RPM. If your turntable speed is 33 or even 34, instead of 33 1/3 most people will not notice, yes the absolute pitch is slightly off but this is mostly unnoticeable. If you have bad wow & flutter then everyone will notice! "Wow Flutter" will give you the best detailed graphical view of your turntables speed variation per revolution available from an iPhone. The turntable average RPM and the final Wow&Flutter are also displayed for reference. Wow & Flutter is caused by many factors, platter imbalance, platter not level, drive belt imperfections, and drive motor vibrations. "Wow Flutter" will help you identify which of these it could be and let you see the improvements you make. The vertical lines indicating each revolution help indicate a periodic repeating pattern which is likely linked to the platter, versus a random variation which more likely a belt or motor issue.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Linn at 48% against Wow Flutter's 0%. Linn also leads on price (Free vs $14.99) and update cadence (monthly vs every 22 months). Wow Flutter's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Linn is free to download; Wow Flutter costs $14.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Wow Flutter holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Linn has 298 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Linn's written reviews are positive against 0% of Wow Flutter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Linn ships an update monthly, Wow Flutter every 22 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
