Audio Analyzer is a real-time spectrum, spectrogram, oscilloscope and octave RTA analyzer. It gives you a visual representation of an acoustic signal. It can be used to analyze the sounds of musical instruments, to identify spoken words phonetically, to measure the frequency response of audio equipment, or to picture the calls of different animals. You can also check “The Singer’s Formant”, the most important measure for every opera singer. Features - Spectrogram analyzer (color, black and white) - Spectrum analyzer - Oscilloscope (full FFT window size) - Octave RTA analyzer: bands - full, 1/3, 1/6, 1/12 (RMS values) - SPL Meter (dBFS) - Recording trigger (triggered by frequencies in the specified frequency band) - Fast real-time response - Sampling rates: 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz* - Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) - Window sizes: 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536 - Variable frequency resolution of the spectrogram - Variable between FFT computations time interval (time resolution) - Max/min Octave RTA values - Zoom and pan all charts - Measure values in all charts - Play back analysis (just tap on the spectrogram and play) - PIP (picture-in-picture), allows the simultaneous analysis on the spectrogram chart and Second chart: Octave RTA, Spectrum or Oscilloscope - Audio input can be supplied via the built-in microphone, and an external microphone* (via the earphone jack, via the USB camera adapter, or through the iPhone/iPad dock connector – Core Audio compliant devices). External devices are shown in the application only when connected (e.g. external mic connected via the earphone jack) - Sharing charts and audio recordings (through mail, social networks, clipboard) - Exporting to the iOS Document Browser (supports iCloud): audio recordings (wav) and image charts (png) - Importing audio files from another application or from the iOS Document Browser (supports iCloud) - Many formats supported for audio file import - Automatic conversion from other sampling rates for imported files - Frequency scale: linear and logarithmic - Amplitude scale: linear and logarithmic SPL/RMS (dBFS) - SPL meter weighting: dBZ - linear Make sure you use the latest iOS update. *For 96kHz analysis use an external microphone with such capabilities through a USB camera adapter or through the iPhone/iPad dock connector (internal mic or external mic connected via the earphone jack can only be used for 44.1kHz or 48kHz analysis) You can also import files recorded on an external device.

The analyzed result of the waveform is rendered at 60FPS. The following 4 functions can be accessed: Waveform visualizer (oscilloscope) Spectrum analyzer Historical peak Historical FFT Tapping each function enters into full-screen mode and tapping once more exits full-screen mode. Horizontal zoom is only available for the spectrum analyzer. Magnification gesture (aka pinching) allows for zooming in and out, and frequency offset can be performed by swiping on the screen horizontally. Vertical swiping adjusts input volume. Coefficients are displayed in the corner. *dBFullScale 20 * log10 ( input) A demonstration is here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mDa_zCgYzE

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Audio Analyzer at 5.0 against Audio Analyzer's 4.4. Audio Analyzer also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 61%) and price ($3.99 vs $9.99). Audio Analyzer's advantage is ratings volume (40 vs 2). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Audio Analyzer costs $9.99 and Audio Analyzer $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Audio Analyzer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Audio Analyzer has 40 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of Audio Analyzer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Audio Analyzer's.
Audio Analyzer ships an update every 6 months, Audio Analyzer every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
