Oscilloscope for Negative User Reviews

✓ Good app but...Can't seem to get it to work with a non audio input signal and there is nothing in the help to illuminate this. Plugging a test lead in using a stereo 3.5 mm jack doesn't disable the apps response to audio signals meaning that an input signal can't be measured without background noise intrusion. Not sure whether this is a limitation of the phone or the app however..OctavedoctorVersion: 1.9

✓ Difficult to UseOscilloscope is exactly what it says it is, an oscilloscope for the iPhone. Just like a real oscilloscope, however, it's a little difficult to use. For instance, in trigger mode, you have to drag directly on the trigger to move the level, instead of on the trigger line. If you drag elsewhere, your'e kicked out of that mode. That was really confusing and took me more than a couple tries to figure out. The "F-GENERATOR", as it's called in the app, but "Signal Generator" here in the website, is pretty kludgy to use as well. It's simple enough to get some signal being played out, but adjusting the frequency is difficult with the small buttons they provide. I don't see any reason to use non-standard UI here. It is quite nice, however, that you can have two-channel output for the signal generator. Also, the maximum time/division is 10 milliseconds, showing no more than 100 milliseconds at a time. That's tiny! There's plenty of other oscilloscopes on the app store that show much more. It feels really limiting. It's clear that the authors tried to emulate the style of a stand-alone oscilloscope, but the controls just don't feel right on the iPhone. The difficult UI, combined with the scale limitations, don't make this a good value at $15. It does have a fast display, but that doesn't matter much if I can't use it..Jrb33Version: 1.5

✓ Pricey for what you getNeat, but pricey for what you get. It would be nice if the app had a spectrum analyzer mode. Also, can you put the x & y scales on the tick marks? What about log scales? It would be beneficial if a help file existed describing how to modify a plugin microphone to accept other signals, I.e. voltage, current. This app has potential..WulfherVersion: 0

✓ Application Not accessing micI have Ipad pro 2018 ios 12.4 and the application is not accessing the built in ipad microphone which kinda bums me out because i bought it just to play around with the XY scope... any way you guys can fix this? ...Thank you.LooseskrewzVersion: 2.6.3

✓ Screen Hog 🖥🐽Needs split view mode to analyze internal apps without having to switch screens.DataBANGVersion: 2.6.3

✓ Annoying interfaceThis app could do much better with on screen controls for timebase and channel gain settings. The generator levels seem unadjustable. Extremely annoying is the scale changes do not adhere to standard scope 1,2,5 sequence so you end up with silly fullscale and time settings. This app misses thr mark by a mile, i am chucking this..Joost4uVersion: 2.6.1

✓ 22Khz Limit, too bad.The 22KHz limit is a huge negative. All my waveforms end up looking like square waves. Increase the limit and the functionality would really improve. (I'm mad at myself since I didn't notice the limit before purchasing. Don't be like me, read the description carefully).IlldubVersion: 2.6

✓ Does not workDoes not work on first gen iPhone, crashes on launch..Super No. 1 Review MasterVersion: 1.5

✓ Only works under 20kHzI got this app to work with ultrasonic transducers but I found out once I started working with it that the shortest time step you can have is 0.5 ms. So at 20 kHz you have 10 peaks per square and is pretty useless beyond that point. I'm working with 450 kHz and the display is just a yellow blur. I'd give this app five stars if it worked for the frequencies I needed (which most oscilloscopes would) but since it was a waste of money for my needs I give it two stars..Samoan27Version: 2.1

Oscilloscope works most of the time. If it is not working for you, we recommend you excersise some patience and retry later or contact Oscilloscope.
