If you’re a vinyl junkie, you want your music to sound exactly as the artist intended - and that means 33⅓ RPM, not 35. Previously, checking your turntable for accuracy was difficult and inexact. But no longer. Measuring your turntable’s speed is now as simple as setting your phone down. Just start Turntabulator, place it on your platter, and start spinning. In as little as a few seconds, Turntabulator will adapt its output to your turntable, revealing its analysis in a stabilized rotating display that has to be seen to be believed. No twisting your neck - just read and be delighted. Through the power of Musical Analysis with Gyroscopically Indifferent Calculations (MAGIC), no gyroscope is required, so Turntabulator works just fine on older devices. In fact, the results are more accurate than the gyroscope would provide. Turntabulator offers two measurement modes. Quick Mode will give you results within 0.1 RPM very quickly, typically in 15 seconds or less. Or, if you’re a perfectionist, use Exact Mode for more precise results, typically reaching 0.01 RPM error or less within one or two minutes. Turntabulator will auto-sense 33⅓ or 45 RPM, or can be fixed at either setting. It then displays the percentage error compared to the target RPM, and whether your turntable is running slow or fast. That’s it! Start using Turntabulator, and make sure your vinyl sounds as perfect as possible.

Sennheiser Smart Control Plus is free to download; Turntabulator costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Sennheiser Smart Control Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sennheiser Smart Control Plus has 5.1K ratings behind it against 59, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Turntabulator's written reviews are positive against 73% of Sennheiser Smart Control Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Turntabulator ships an update every 58 months, Sennheiser Smart Control Plus monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
