Slope Hi
Read full descriptionHide full description
Slope shows how your subwoofer and speakers respond in your room. Using the iPhone microphone, it plays a sweep through your system, records the result and turns it into a clear graph with practical advice on what to adjust. What Slope does • Sub and speaker graph: both responses on one chart, with the crossover area highlighted. • Crossover advice: a range to try, based on how your speakers roll off. Enter the crossover you set on your subwoofer, and the graph, the Summation check and the PDF summary use it. • Subwoofer level: whether to raise or lower it, with a small step to check by ear when your speakers are full-range. • Summation check: two measurements with sub and speakers playing together, one for each position of the phase switch. Slope shows which position makes the bass add up better around the crossover. • Guided session: a step-by-step path for sub and speakers, with a level check you can repeat after adjusting the subwoofer, without measuring the speakers again. • Library: all your measurements, with two results compared side by side. Optional iCloud sync keeps them up to date on your other devices signed in to the same account. • PDF summary: a one-page report with the graph, key values, suggestions and measurement conditions. • Tour: an optional introduction to reading a response. It changes nothing in your measurements. Before you measure • You need an external audio output that plays the sweep through your speakers. Headphones and the iPhone's own speaker cannot be used for measurements. • Keep the room as quiet as possible. The Noise check on the Measure screen tells you the conditions before you start. Slope is a practical tuning tool, not an absolute measurement instrument. The iPhone microphone is not calibrated, so use the results to compare and adjust in your room, not as certified figures. Below 40 Hz the readings are less reliable and are marked as such. Slope changes nothing in your system: it suggests, and you decide what to adjust.

Understand your network, one measurement at a time. ACNet is a network discovery and diagnostics app for iPhone and iPad. Find the devices that respond on your local network, investigate connection problems and keep every result on your device. DISCOVER DEVICES - Scan one or more IPv4 ranges of the network you are connected to. - See each device's address, reported name, advertised services and open ports, together with the evidence ACNet found: ICMP echo, Bonjour (mDNS), SSDP/UPnP, TCP connections and reverse DNS. - Add your own labels to devices you know. DIAGNOSE CONNECTIONS - Ping (IPv4 and IPv6), Diagnose Host, DNS Lookup, Port Scan, TLS & HTTP Check, RDAP / WHOIS and Wake on LAN. - Optional read-only SNMP (v2c or v3) for equipment you manage. Credentials you enter are stored in the iOS Keychain. ORGANIZE YOUR NETWORKS - Network profiles for home, office or other networks, with the address ranges you approve for scanning and labels for your devices. - Rules with reminders: ACNet reminds you with a notification or a Live Activity, and a check runs only when you tap Start check. Opening the app or receiving a reminder never starts a check. REVIEW RESULTS - Every scan, lookup and check is saved in Activity with its real status and address coverage. - Compare two sessions, view charts of saved measurements, and export results as PDF, CSV or JSON. PRIVACY - No account, no advertising and no analytics. Scans, profiles and history are stored on your device. - Network tools contact only the devices, DNS resolvers, registries or endpoints needed for the check you start. - An optional public-address rule sends a request only to an HTTPS endpoint you enter and approve. GOOD TO KNOW - Results depend on iOS permissions, your network configuration and whether devices respond. A device that does not reply may not appear. - Device scans cover IPv4 ranges. Some information, such as hardware addresses, is shown only when the available evidence supports it. - A check you started can continue briefly after you leave the app, as far as iOS allows. ACNet does not provide continuous background monitoring. Available in English, German, French and Italian. Use ACNet only on networks and devices you own or have permission to test.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ACNet at none against Slope Hi's 3. ACNet also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
