AudioTools - dB, Sound & Audio for Negative User Reviews
✓ Misleading money-grabReally wanted to like this app. I read about all these different tools it supports in the description, and decided to pull the trigger on the most expensive app purchase of my life. Twenty dollars. Turns out that this only gets you a couple of simple "tools", most of which are available for free through other apps. The kicker is that the useful tools can cost anywhere between 5 and TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS. Who do these guys think they are? It's absolutely insane. Not even those videogames with endless "microtransactions" are this much of a shameless money steal. When you pay twenty dollars for an app, it had better be good. It shouldn't just be a portal to dropping another absurd amount of money for basic functionality you would expect..Version: 10.13
✓ OverpricedEverything useful is extra and this is already high for an app. Very very disappointed with what u get relative to other apps for the price.Version: 11.1
✓ Has minor flawThe app doesn’t open properly on an iPad in portrait orientation when initially launched. Developer believes this is caused by bug introduced in iOS 13. If you open app in landscape, no problem. Or, after opening in portrait, swipe in from left edge to pull in the Audio Tools menu bar, then it works ok..Version: 11.8
✓ Deceptive Advertising and minimal controlsI spent the $20 on this app thinking I would get all the robust features advertised only to discover most of the apps required additional - and very expensive - purchases. Even the functionality of the only app I really needed, and paid for, was very limited. For example, the realtime frequency analyzer only had adjustments for either full-octave or 1/3 octave resolution. I wanted 1/16 but apparently that's asking too much..Version: 16.2
✓ Not worth itIv been working as a sound engineer for a number of years now and I would not rate this app at all. It's inaccurate at the best of times and I would defiantly not trust it in any professional sense. In short, if your looking to do something good with sound do not waste your money,.Version: 4.1
✓ It’s good but it feels outdatedIt’s not like the science or math has changed or needs to be updated super often, but the workflow and UI definitely feels outdated now in 2023. I like the SPL graph but it’s pretty janky to set up. In the SPL dashboard, I can’t tell any way to rearrange the different modules I have, or resize them take the amount of space I want them to take..Version: 16.9
✓ Free app works betterBrought this for the signal generator. but it does not work. complete silence with volume and gain set to max. got a free app that does work instead. waste of $31..Version: 11.2
✓ Audio tools excellentFantastic app, I use it all the time, Well worth the small cost, will eventually get the breakout box. The I pad has a weak microphone and even weaker speaker (noticed while using the sweep generator function) Perfect app for setting up the home stereo, surround sound, or for tweaking PA systems and showing the club owner that their juke box is louder then the band.Version: 11.1
✓ Crashes !!!New version never opened on ios7. Crashes on startup. Not useful when you need it everyday. App was ok with some problems, now it's not even working anymore !!!.Version: 7.9
✓ File transfer?!?!?Are you guys crazy!? The interface is clunky but acceptable, the mic seems ok but transferring and using any of the recordings plots or files - don't waste your time unless you want to waste a day chasing 'Terminal' based tips on extracting and using .bin files. Come on, solve the operating problems or can the app!!!.Version: 7.2.34
✓ Terribly inaccurateWay way way way off and inconsistent. pretty bummed out that i spent $20 on this because its bad to the point of being completely useless. maybe it has something to do with newer devices having input ranges or something? not sure if that could be it because my ipad is a few years old and still has a TRRS jack, and i loaded up my mic calibration file that worked fine on my PC. I’m getting 50db readings a few feet from a speaker that is certainly putting out over 95db.Version: 17.1
✓ Used to be great, now seems overpricedThe price of the individual modules seems way too high, especially for what else is available in the App Store. On top of that, the SPL meter still doesn’t display properly in iOS 11..Version: 10.6
✓ AnnoyedFor $23.99 im a little peeved at the fact you pretty much get the functions of a $2 app and prompt for more riddiculous amounts to just use most of the advertised features! Why waste money on this toy when you can get a real spl meter or setup your own laptop / pc !.Version: 0
✓ I regret my purchaseReally not that accurate even when paired with a good mic. You pay $20 for minimal version of SOME the required apps. Want the whole package? It’s like $400 to unlock everything. For that price you can buy a small tablet PC and use REW which is FAR better than this inaccurate garbage. Save the headache and save the money. Avoid!.Version: 15.1
✓ Bait and switch requested refundAre you seriously asking people to pay 10 bucks for access to a portal for other apps costing 100s of dollars? The app never clearly states what are you actually getting. In this age of apps $10 needs to pay for a hell of a lot more than this!.Version: 13.1
✓ Expensive but works ok.Quite expensive for what you get, then you are asked to pay a lot more for each add-on. Regret purchase? Yesss!.Version: 14.1
✓ PERFECTVery good application accurate and complete, fast technical support and efficase, really the cheapest for analysis 1 in all with an interface, it's amazing.Version: 6.0
✓ Can’t Calibrate MicI can’t get to step 1 with Audio Tools. The setup will not import my mic’s calibration txt file and the app keeps hasseling me to review it so 0 stars would be preferable but 1 is as close as I can get to that rating. It’s just a sales platform not a useful app as-is. You have to buy the add-ons to get actual useful data from it..Version: 10.15
✓ Was amazing, now absolutely uselessI'm a professional sound technician who tunes cinema sound systems. This app saved me carrying an RTA and SPL meter and it was amazing. That's no more, now they constantly update the app with very expensive in app purchases and new calibrations. The updates wipe your calibrations and replace them with settings that won't work, unless you buy their EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE mic. The SPL in particular needs to be set with another meter after EVERY UPDATE!!!!!! Picture this, you fly to a remote location, start testing sound and notice the readings are way off. Then you notice there was an automatic update that reset your calibration and your meter is now wrong. It's not just SPL, the RTA curve shows bass levels 12db high at 30hz. Try setting up a dozen sub woofers in cinemas with no way to measure the output. I was a huge fan of this app and company but now I have to tell you, save your money! There are other sound apps out there, they are so much cheaper and won't leave you hanging..Version: 7.6
✓ Acoustic EngineerThis app WAS a really good tool for testing and measurements on the road but the latest update has rendered it useless on my iPhone 6. Bass levels are constantly showing high even when completely absent and high frequencies barely show. It seems some internal mic filtering is going on which can't be adjusted around despite resets or gain settings adjustment. Save your money until it's fixed..Version: 7.6
✓ OKIt's an OK app, however I wish I hadn't bought it All the bits you really want are extras and not included and £35 for one of the bolt ons to an already expensive app is not for me. Wish iTunes would allow refunds as I would be out of this one A shame.Version: 3.7
✓ Hidden costsU still have to pay another 30 pounds for the impulse response and other bits.. Be careful.Version: 0
✓ Come on, please improve this app?I have had several upgrades to this suite of audio tools for YEARS. And it is still woefully out of date, klunky to use, and skips over ease-of-use features built into the tablet’s operating system. Installing again after a rebuild of an iPad Pro, I restore purchases, get feedback they have been restored, but when I open up individual apps, they act like they are not upgraded, and features are grayed out that I bought, and the app settings indicate I bought them..Version: 15.7
✓ Needs improvement/updatesGet rid of annoying startup screen.. Would like to see a better icon and user interface. Just hire a professional graphic artist guys... Some apps could be combined, but instead are bundled as add ons; I would rather not keep having to press the back button every time I want to use a different feature... For example all of the Spl meters could be lumped together. It is a little tedious and I can't help but feel cheated. It would also be nice if the resolution was higher because it is a little pixelated on the iPhone 4. Go ahead and buy it, but let the developer know that it needs updating..Version: 4.8
✓ Not much more than the lite versionsI was very disappointed to see that after spending $10 on the app that most additional features over the lite version and other similar apps powered by studio6 software are still only available through in app purchases. Stay away and use the lite versions unless you intend to fork over a lot more money..Version: 7.3.15
✓ Ripped offBought this high paid app thinking I was getting what was displayed in the example pictures . Now find that these are more over priced apps you need to pay for once you've downloaded this app. Very deceptive and I will be putting in a complaint !!! Don't show example pictures of what is not in the app !!!!.Version: 3.4
✓ Please support audiobusI want to use a parametric eq to tune some monitors to flat, but this is not possible to verify in LARSA because Audiotools won't let me run it through the same EQ. The easiest way to do this would be to add audiobus support to Audiotools/LARSA. Then the signal sweep can get corrected by the same EQ I apply to other apps..Version: 10.17
✓ What a crapshootI buy this app, expecting some useful tools, but instead it includes just the developers CHEAPEST apps. So, I feel like I could take my $20, and spend it on each individual thing that came with it, and come out with change leftover. ALSO, in the screenshots, it shows apps that don't even come with it, you have to pay an extra $8 for. what a load of crap..Version: 0
✓ Old outdated app. Ridiculous pricingOnce you get in to this £20 app, you get a handful of very basic 'free' tools, the rest are paywalled behind extra ~£50 in app purchases. Scam. Avoid!.Version: 16.4
✓ Decent app, but deceptive pricingFor potential purchasers - unlocking all features of the application will cost just a bit over $800. The $9.99 upfront app price is basically your crack dealer giving you the first hit for free..Version: 14.1
✓ Useless app for measuring speakersI thought for $30 I would get decent measurements. Not so and I cant get a refund. Really annoying.Version: 10.20
