Everything I need for day to day work and trouble shooting in my pocket.
Re register

Only issue I have is every time I use it I have to re register the app or if there is an upgrade. Just a hassle. App works fine.
Essential tool for audio professionals!

My first audio analyzer purchase (1979) was an Ivie IE-10A handheld octave band analyzer and IE-20 pink noise generator. The cost was $918.75. That was a lot of money to me, for a tool that has a small fraction of the utility of base AudioTools. Since then, I’ve spent many thousands of dollars on hardware TEF20, Sencore SP395 (fully unlocked), NTI audio products, as well as all upgrades of Smaart starting from version 1 to 8. My relatively small investment In AudioTools, iTestMic2, and iAudioPre2 deliver the utility and functionality and portability, replacing dedicated hardware and software for most of my measurement needs. I’ve taken advantage of Studio6Digital’s holiday sale to purchase the entire suite of tools, and appreciate their attention to addressing bugs, upgrades, and new features. I consider AudioTools an essential and indispensable tool for my audio work. Thanks!

Upgraded my iPhone to a 13 Pro. Andrew sent me a link within minutes that got all my AudioTools apps back up and running at the click of my finger! Hats off to the best support in the Biz!! Dave
I regret my purchase

Really 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!
Great Set Of Tools

Been using this app for a few years now. I,ve checked it against SmaartLive, and it is pretty accurate.
Has minor flaw
ScottReview
The 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.
Fantastic, Best App I’ve Ever Seen

This is a solid reference tool. It has incredible features for acoustic analysis. I frequently use the SPL meter to quickly check levels; it’s far more likely I have my phone on me than a dedicated device. I have used the signal generators for testing speakers and the acoustic response of my studio. There’s everything you’ll want here (I don’t quite know what half the things do, but this app does it!). The only thing that will make this better is an omni reference mic since the built-in microphone has limitations, but as a ballpark quick reference (which is what I usually need), this is amazing. I recommend this constantly. The price is unbeatable. Considering buying one of each of the tools it has would rack up quite a bill, this app has everything and it’s all on your phone. Can’t say enough good things.
Owned a lot of Test Gear over the years

110% supportive of AudioTools. I am finally retired, and one of the only test setups I still own is AudioTools. The other is SysTune from AFMG, which is for working with live sound and systems commissioning. I believe my first test meter was a 10-Band from Gold-Line, or maybe Ivie (actually it really sort of was using a Sinclair Scientific Calculator with built-in simple BASIC to work with the Prohs Cluster Computer). I went thru all of the main Ivie products, products from Neutrik and Klark-Teknik (and software from Altec, E-V, EAW, Bose, etc.), The TEF analyzers, beginning with the TEF12 (gosh it was a heavy sucker) up to the TEF20, EASE (but not EASERA), EASE SysTune, the Terrasonde units(which ended up and then died at Sencore - my last was the Sencore 495), and finally the whole AudioTools Suite (never go out unprepared). I’d have used AudioTools and SysTune from Day One if they had been available back then. AudioTools has been easy to use, support has been fast to respond (every one of those products above needed support as well), and quick to bring new tools to market. I was never an Apple fan, and cringed when I bought an iPad, but it is an easy fit with the AT product. It’s just those continual Apple Updates that always break something, somewhere. If I had all my wishes come true, I’d like to have seen Andrew come up with Android and PC versions, but I am fully aware of why this would be an ongoing nightmare and enormously unprofitable or wildly expensive. The AudioTools Suite would be right there in the top systems or software I’d recommend, that you could carry light, and use easily and with confidence. DO read the manual and all of the relevant HELP files as you learn to use the product. Sometimes you need to learn the science first, before you can understand the measurements.
