Great potential but buggy as hell

Really disappointed that such an expensive app is so buggy. I’ve lost hours of data in the RTA by pressing the wrong button in the wrong order. The new Notification feature (which one has to use for something as basic as setting a threshold to record audio events) makes no sense and doesn’t seem to work.

Sure I could rtfm but the manual doesn’t work. Pressing Info just brings up a blank screen. The online manual is very old. I sent an email to the developer on all this but his response was basically, “well it works for me”.

The last straw came after using the SPL graph. I froze it and saved the reading. Then upon doing another one, my first graph was overwritten! Save/Recall is completely unreliable. So I’m having to take screenshots and save them in the iPad Notes app.

These are just the issues I’ve discovered with my limited use. Until they start fixing things I suggest you look elsewhere.

Inaccurate polarity tester

Not very good for polarity testing

Invaluable if doing speaker repair

Great little app- I use it for polarity checks of individual drivers and checking that everything works. And making sure the crossover works- a crude check, but very helpful.
