iAnalyzer

Doesn’t work

I use a number of audio analysis apps on iPhone, and use other far more serious/expensive audio analysis equipment. The various iPhone apps do an incredible job, particularly when used with a mic made for measuring, but even when used with the built-in mic and specific phone calibration data within an app. This app is one I keep, but use only occasionally, as there are only a few very rare situations where this app is my first choice, for measuring things apps like this are rarely used for. The app author states this app has ‘become the industry standard’. I’d really like to know by what facts, credentials/certification or stretch of the imagination that claim comes from, as it is extremely far from any audio analysis industry standard (in my opinion). There are definitely some other competing iPhone apps that might be that, but they don’t even make that claim (that I’ve seen). The other apps are far superior to this app in pretty much every way, though each has its strengths and best types of uses, and of course simple personal preferences, not to mention quite different measurement accuracies among apps (that might surprise or shock you). I also question when an app such as this paid version (not the lite version, which is a great way to evaluate an app and decide if you wish to purchase the full app) comes out with an automatic update that strips features and abilities that we already paid for, and based our decision to buy on the app having and retaining those features and abilities. For existing app owners, we’ve lost what we already had, only to now be presented with multiple rapid updates to a horribly buggy and poorly done upgrade interface that offers us to now pay (again) and in an ongoing subscription way for what we already had. We can’t even access app settings anymore (among other things) without subscribing. The many rapid updates attempting to fix an obviously non functional apparently untested upgrade subscription screen show the really poor software quality and complete lack of testing. As for the the other practices of the author/developer, you can decide for yourself if this is an app you wish to support and come to rely upon.

Good app, but is that might be update with the iPad 2 and operate in landscape???

After having paid for the app with full features in the pre “pro version” past I have lost features due to an “update” download. I'm presently being extorted to pay for features I had paid for and have been deceived into losing. Other than that…

After yrs of use, the audio has been disabled. How come ?

To the developer, since the subscription, There is this strange notch filtering that won’t go away. The app is great when it’s working but this notch filtering renders it useless.

The free version works. The full version does not work at all. The tech support seems to lead me to a wrong site.

The app is good in its graphic display but lacks an important feature - the ability to rename files. Which are automatically named by the app as you save. The names assigned are just numbers representing the date.

IAnalyzer is an outstanding audio spectrum analyzer app with several unique features. IAnalyzer not only shows the spectrum of a sound, with the frequency and dB indicated, but it also identifies what musical note the loudest peaks are close to, and how many cents sharp or flat these peaks are. This is extremely useful for tuning / manufacturing complex musical instruments where the harmonics of the note need to be tuned along with the fundamental. IAnalyzer is also unique in its ability to record a sound and freeze the action during playback so that the details of the sound spectrum and it's harmonics can be examined. You drag the recorded sound track forward and backward on the bottom of the screen with your finger while examining the detailed audio spectrum of the sound on the top half of the screen. This feature is extremely helpful when trying to examine very transient sounds like the sound of a Mallet hitting a marimba key, or "tap tuning" a marimba resonator. It allows you to examine the attack and decay of the sound as a whole, as well as the behavior of the individual harmonics. Most music instrument apps fail to lock in on very brief percussion sounds, and I have not found another audio spectrum app that combines the ability to freeze the action of percussion sounds while also identifying the musical notes for the peaks that appearing the sound spectrum, I have many different musical instrument tuner apps, but iAnalyzer has become my "go to " app for tuning mallet instruments and their resonators.

Now it doesn't seem to work on iPhone4s and that's no good, I retract my previous 5 stars and will not give them back until this is fixed
