Clear Wave plays sound waves that shake water out of your iPhone's speaker, so the sound comes back clear. It also has a tone generator, a dB meter, and speaker and microphone tests. Key Features: Speaker Cleaner – A 165 Hz water-eject program pushes trapped water out of the speaker. Choose 15, 30 or 60 seconds; Clear Wave reminds you to turn the volume up for the best clean. Tone Generator – Play any frequency from 10 Hz to 20,000 Hz with sine, triangle, square or sawtooth waves, and see the matching musical note. Useful for sound checks, tuning and testing audio equipment. dB Meter – Measure the sound level around you, with average, minimum and maximum, the current frequency, and how loud it really is, from "like a library" to "like a rock concert". Measurement Photos – Take a photo with the sound level and the date on it, and save it to your photo library. Speaker Test – Play sound through the top and bottom speakers separately, plus a deep bass pulse, to check that both work. Microphone Check – Clap or speak and find out whether your microphone hears you clearly. Clean Reminder – Get a daily or weekly reminder to clean your speakers. Siri – Start cleaning hands-free with Siri. Subscription Pricing & Terms: Clear Wave offers auto-renewing subscription options.
