Spectrolite visualizes sound as spectrograms in real time. Spectrolite supports constant-Q spectrograms, which use a logarithmic frequency scale for a display where musical notes are evenly spaced. Spectrograms based on linear and mel frequency scales are also supported. The display covers the full frequency range of human hearing. Intuitive touch panning and zooming lets you dive in and explore the spectrograms in detail. Gain, Q, and other parameters can be adjusted in real time and instantly apply to the display of past signals as well as future ones. The Pro in-app purchase adds grids and scales for time, frequency, and amplitude, as well as a spectrum view and a tap-to-measure function. This expands Spectrolite into an audio measurement tool that you can use to measure frequencies, musical pitches, amplitudes, and durations.

Features
Read full description

FrontDepth View provides real-time visualization of both TrueDepth camera data and front camera imagery. You can switch between the front camera view, the TrueDepth depth view, or a combined mode that merges both sources to enhance environmental awareness and depth perception. * FrontDepth modes (Options 3 and 4) are particularly effective in low-light or dark environments, helping to reveal surrounding structures and spatial depth. The visible depth range can be adjusted using the slider at the bottom of the screen. * Combined modes (Options 2 and 4) blend front camera imagery with TrueDepth data to enhance object contours and improve depth detail. * In Combined mode, tap the subview to enlarge it for a closer inspection. Tap again to return to the split or combined layout. * 3D Point Cloud View allows you to freely explore your surroundings in an interactive 3D perspective by panning the screen. * The center-point depth is displayed in real time in centimeters. You can capture screenshots at any time by tapping the camera icon, and view your saved images by tapping the photo gallery icon. If you want to view back depth image through LiDAR and back camera, please check our app "LiDAR View". If you want to automatically measure facial features in real time using the TrueDepth camera, please check our app “Measure Face”. If you have any suggestions, feedback, or feature requests, feel free to contact us at hereyouare1981@gmail.com Thank you for using FrontDepth View!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Spectrolite at 4.8 against FrontDepth View's 4.3. Spectrolite also leads on ratings volume (51 vs 4) and review sentiment (83% vs 75%). FrontDepth View's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
