This app transforms your phone into a powerful handheld dual-channel signal generator for generating sound signals (and can also be used by professionals to generate audio electrical signals). Signal types include: sine wave, triangular wave, sawtooth wave, rectangular wave, Gaussian noise, Rayleigh noise, gamma noise, salt-and-pepper noise, uniformly distributed noise, pink noise, red (brown) noise, blue noise, purple noise, longest sequence signal, frequency-sweep signal, elementary function waveform, and hand-drawn waveform. It can switch between single-channel and dual-channel operation; the dual channels can independently set waveforms and their parameters. The parameters of the signal, such as amplitude, frequency, and phase, can be adjusted. The waveform can be scaled freely using gestures or buttons, making it simple and easy to use. Support interface color selection. This application is normally used to generate sound signals and poses no risks. Special instructions for circuit measurement: Professionals can utilize this application for circuit measurements, with audio electrical signals being output through the left and right channels of headphones. Please ensure safety: You must possess sufficient professional knowledge, and isolation equipment must be added to high-voltage circuits. Circuit measurement involves risks. The author of this application will not be responsible for any personal or equipment damage caused by the correct or incorrect use of this application.
Shielding Tester

Shielding Tester is designed for quick testing of shielding boxes, cases, bags, and other devices that block radio signals based on the Faraday cage principle. The application measures signal strengths across a range of mobile communication standards, including GSM/2G/3G/4G/5G, Wi-Fi 2.4/5 GHz, and Bluetooth. It provides insights on how effectively these devices block radio signals across various frequencies, assisting in the verification of the performance of Faraday cage devices and accessories. ‣ Test the effectiveness of your Faraday cage within a minute; ‣ Get test results on cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth frequencies; ‣ Sign in to unlock access to advanced features. FARADAY CAGE ASSESSMENT Determine the effectiveness of your signal-blocking gear! - Open the app. - Initiate the test. - Place your phone inside the Faraday enclosure. - Listen for the sound indication of test completion. - Receive information on your shielding sleeve, box, or bag's efficiency. PERSONAL DASHBOARD Access your account to explore extra features! Store your test results and forward them via email. SHOP In case your Faraday cage underperforms and permits signal leakage, you have the convenience to acquire a tested and guaranteed shielding solution directly from the app. DISCLAIMER On iOS 11 and later, the measurement approach used by the app may exhibit a potential deviation of ±5 dBm. Please be aware that the results provided are approximations, intended to offer a general idea of signal levels and shielding performance, rather than exact measurements.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shielding Tester at none against Signals Generator's 14. Shielding Tester also leads on update cadence (every 7 months vs every 33 months). Signals Generator's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
