Surround Speaker Check

Yet another app where one pays for all the content that’s available, and then more stuff is added to the same app which one has to buy a subscription to access. This really, really annoys me! Ok, so developers want to make as much money as they can, and I suppose for some people paying £24.99 a year (for now) is worth it, but having bought an app it annoys me to have to negotiate all the padlocked options and subscription reminders just ruins my faith in any app. By all means release new and separate ‘deluxe’ apps with subscriptions but to simply add paywalls to previously bought apps is not good.

Rear speaker music bits now playing out of my side speaker during 5.1 test with the rears now silent. Worked fine on previous version. Confirmed rear speakers working via Atmos movies I have.

This update brings some nice visual updates, but there’s a bug in the 5.1 surround test. Rear speaker tests now play through the front speakers. Verified with another app. Please fix this ASAP. Also it would be nice to have access to the atmos features for a smaller fee without the yearly subscription.

I was really struggling to find a single method of testing my 5.1 setup. This app did the job perfectly, and is the only way of testing each channel correctly that I could find. Many thanks!

This app fails to achieve its one aim - playing 5.1 audio. It just doesn’t play. No other app does what this one states it does, so I was pleased when I found it, but then let down by the app not working. What a shame. Dev, if you do iron out the bugs, add more tests like Atmos, DTS, DTS-x etc for a full on test suite.

Netflix test patterns work fine, this doesn’t sent to correct speakers on Apple TV 4K.

I have an Apple TV 3 hooked up to an old receiver and 5 speaker setup, and am not getting surround sound through various movie streaming sites Airplay’d from my phone. I downloaded this app to my phone and ran the 5.1 check via AirPlay to my Apple TV and got the surround sound output I was looking for. So at least able to confirm my setup will work in principle.

This is a great straightforward app for testing surround speakers and levels. I use it to collaborate my surround speakers and levels. Would you please consider an app update to test Atmos channels.

The first 2 of the 4 Subwoofer Check tests do not exercise the subwoofer. Its icon stays gray, and I hear no audio from it. During the third and fourth tests, its icon is blue and I hear audio from it, but only the first 2 tests provide a frequency sweep, which is what was advertised and what I was seeking when I paid for it. Am I missing something?

I’m new to using AirPods Pro and the 5.1 Speaker Check was a great way to test Spatial Audio!
