This app is a combination of oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer and AM/FM synthesizer and works in the audio ranges from 0 ... 22 kHz using the integrated audio interfaces. The three operating modes offer a wide range of functions and settings. Oscilloscope • Very fast image display and real-time triggering • Trigger modes: automatic, normal, single-shot Trigger edges: rising, falling, both • Automatic measurement of frequency, period and amplitude • Manual measurement of frequency, period and amplitude • Freely selectable trigger level and time • Variable zoom and offset Spectrum Analyzer • Very fast image display with the help of Apple Metal graphics acceleration • Logarithmic or linear frequency axis • Display modes: spectrum, waterfall and combined • Automatic determination of the dominant frequency • Music note calculation of the dominant frequency • Possibility to transfer the dominant frequency to the generator/synthesizer • Cursor for manual frequency determination • Adjustability of bandwidth, FFT window and high-pass filter • Adjustability of color scheme, brightness and contrast of the waterfall display Synthesizer • Waveform synthesis in real time • AM and FM modulation • Different waveforms for base signal, AM and FM modulator • Multiple memory locations for quick switching between different settings • Direct input of all numerical parameters

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Oscilyzer at none against Electronics Engineer Helper's 2. Oscilyzer also leads on iOS requirement (13.2 vs 17.0). Electronics Engineer Helper's advantage is review sentiment (98% vs 75%) and ratings volume (436 vs 9). On price, rating, ads 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
Both are free to download. Electronics Engineer Helper sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.89 per year. Oscilyzer asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Electronics Engineer Helper against 4.9 for Oscilyzer. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Electronics Engineer Helper has 436 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 98% of Electronics Engineer Helper's written reviews are positive against 75% of Oscilyzer's.
