RTA App Reviews

Meh...

I liked it more before the last update. Now 30% of the screen is being used for unnecessary toolbars and buttons. The iPhone display isnt exactly large to begin with. Looking into other apps now unfortunately...

Useful, but....

A few months ago this app was updated to compensate for the iPhones microphone not being able to register the 20Hz - 35Hz range. Since that update (including this last update) the app has way over compensated in that area. I would like to use this app and trust it, but as of now, its too hard to tell whats accurate when there is constantly a curve upward from 35Hz to 20Hz. Its a better app with the mics natural roll off. Please fix the compensation or return it to how it used to be. PLEASE!

Useful, but needs updates/configurability

Great app! I wish it was updated for newer products(iPad models, iPhone 5, etc.)

FOH Engineer

Great tool for the money. I use this app for quick references during every live show.

Great, easy app!

Title says it all - works well, easy to use and self-explanatory. This should be on every sound engineers phone!

Doesnt work with iOS 7

When will this work again? It was great with iOS 6 and before. All it does now is freeze when it is opened.

IPad, not so much

Does not view properly on an iPad. Issues. Works great on my iPhone, but look for another solution on iPad.

Great app!

Have been using it to tune rooms for small concerts, as a pink noise source and analyzer. I keep it running during the show, and it really helps isolate feedback. Havent had the battery issue that the other reviewer had, but I just make sure to exit the app when not using it. Great work!

Still Drains Your Battery

Same thing again. The author obviously likes to drain your battery. --------- New do-dadhs, but it still drains your battery if youre not watching. ---------- Still has no way to turn off -- much less to default off -- the battery-draining background operation. Despite many updates, this app hasnt had a favorable review since 2013. ------------- Another update and the battery-draining background operation continues. I really cant understand why this cant be made optional with the default being off. ---------- With each new update, I hope that they will finally remove (or at least make optional) the battery-draining background mode. But, this latest update is unchanged in this respect. ----------- New iPhone 6. Latest everything. Still drains the battery by continuing to run after you exit the ap. ---------- Well, they did it again. Another update and the battery burn continues. -------- What can I say? The battery drain continues in yet another update. No wonder this is no longer the most popular RTA in the Apple store. When will the author fix this? ----------- Another update and the drain continues. --------- Another update retains the battery-draining background operating feature. When you exit this app, it keeps running and sucking your battery. You have to manually kill it. This single "feature" just ruins this otherwise excellent app for me. ------------- Yet Another update and it is clear that the developer feels that this battery-draining background feature is somehow desirable. I have given up. Obviously, they do not read these comments because we have yet another update and the background battery drain remains. They obviously like this "feature." -------- Ive been a huge fan of this app for years. I consider it essential for live- sound work. But, recently, they added this "background" mode in which the app keeps running even when you exit it. To stop it, you have to manually kill it... a big and inconvenient extra step. And if you forget to kill it, it will run down your battery. When youre mixing a show, you dont want this extra step. This silly "feature" is a disaster. I have complained and complained and yet this "feature" persists. There are other Real Time Analyzer apps. If you are looking for one, despite how good this app is, I suggest you look elsewhere because of this one overwhelming problem.
