S6L is not supported at this time. Mix Magazine “Product of the Week” 18-Jan-2019. Watch the demo video! (see Developer Website). Version 2.0 is a major update introducing the VCS - Virtual Control Surface - an abstraction of the entire console laid out in channel strips like a traditional analog mixing console. The interface is simple to use and easily adapted on the fly to suit many different workflow requirements, providing both the visual and functional benefits of seeing more than just the selected channel. All features of Version 1 are still available, with improvements. The complete console functionality is accessible via a simple, efficient and precise ‘intelligent’ user interface using the console’s own graphics. With a working knowledge of the console there will be almost no learning curve. The User Guide has been extensively updated and contains a lot of new information. Reading the documentation for the VCS is strongly recommended! A Connection Troubleshooting Guide has also been added which may prove useful to some. Both guides are built in to the app and are also available from the Developer Website. ● Operate multiple controls simultaneously ● Portrait mode, Landscape mode and VCS - completely different workflow alternatives ● VCS includes special editors for EQ, dynamics, graphic EQ and matrix mixer ● Channel Selector tool for easy location and selection of channels ● Channel names are displayed in Fader Blocks and all VCS channels ● Aux and Group names are displayed at the same time as values in the VCS ● Custom keyboard includes ESC, TAB and Fn keys ● Numeric entry keypad for all value fields ● Single action copy and paste ● Full control of snapshot functionality ● Full control of patchbay ● Full control of plug-ins ● Complete control of file functions and console settings ● Complete control of ... everything!!

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: V at 50% against Spectrum Analyzer's 5%. V also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). Spectrum Analyzer's advantage is price (Free vs $28.99) and rating (4.2 vs 3.0). On update cadence 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
Spectrum Analyzer is free to download; V costs $28.99 up front. Spectrum Analyzer sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. V asks for nothing beyond the download.
Spectrum Analyzer holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spectrum Analyzer has 197 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 5% of Spectrum Analyzer's written reviews are positive against 50% of V's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Spectrum Analyzer ships an update fortnightly, V every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
