RPM - Turntable Speed Accuracy Reviews

It stop working ...

CADiver

Have not use in a long while, it was unloaded, when it’s loaded again, it won’t work anymore and just ask me to upgrade repeatedly.

Would have considered buying the whole app if the demo wasn’t so ridden with adds I could actually actually try it out for more than 15 seconds.

I have a Denon DP300F that was not running at the right RPM. Since the speed control on this turntable requires a jewelers screwdriver from the bottom to adjust it was difficult with the 20 sec time to get it adjusted if it where 60secs it would have been easier. It took longer to stop and start but did get it filed in to 33.33.

Great App, priced right!

This is really a great app and saved me a lot of money!! Still running my cheap 15 year old Pro-ject 1.2 and am always thinking about getting that Rega, VPI, or fancy Sota. Well just replaced the cartridge for the 6th or 7th time, cleaned the not quite worn out belt and adjusted the motor “suspension” yet again. Never had the guts to measure the speed before so printed a few strobe discs and found it runs a hair fast with a little wow. Not fully convinced came across a turntable review that mentioned an iPhone speed app, who knew?! Well my table measures .24% fast and .14 - .2% w&f. Better yet, the graph looks as good or better than most Regas in the new database! New respect for my tired old table which I will keep going and put my money into records!! Thank you Philip! A suggestion and recommendation : - It would be nice to see the entire captured graph - I get better w&f with a comparable weight placed opposite on the platter. I used a shot glass.

Nice

Minor update to my previous review, and back from 5 to 4 star. I can’t understand why are variations in speed measurements between devices so great? My iPhone 8 plus show 33,40 and iPhone SE 33,31 rpm, while strobe dots on my Technics 1210 are spot on (should be 33,33). When I slow turntable a bit, so that app measures 33,33 it is clearly slow which can be seen just by observing strobe dots on the platter. Wow/flutter is ok, very low measurements ... Could the app be more precise, or is it up to the phones and OS-es?

After upgrading I’m still confronted with obnoxious advertising.

Unusable app now?

When I first downloaded this app location I was able to use it with voiceover but apparently some changes have made it completely unusable. There are settings that may fix that issue but they require payment, and I will not pay for an app until I can verify that it will work with voiceover. What needs to happen is extra features need to be in abled for a certain number of days or tests or something similar so everything can be evaluated for blind accessibility before I am asked to pay for an application that I may not even be able to use. Having these extra features require payment when they benefit the makers of the application more than a benefit the users of the application also seems suspect.

Nice, but let it run for a bit

This app is good, although I highly recommend running in calibration mode first. Before I did that on a rega rp3, it was reading way faster than the strobe disk, but once auto calibrated it was quite close. This is with an iPhone XR. I’m still a bit confused about wow and flutter and the circular trace it does. My sense is that it it showing unevenness in rotation and platter flatness, but for wow and flutter the relevant thing is what is happening where the needle touches the record. I’m, not sure if this w&F measure is comparable to what other folks measure. I did take heart, though, that my W&F readings were generally around .2, which seems to be about what most turntables in the database show...but I have no idea if other TT measurement systems would come up with the same number.

Did not perform as advertised

Went through the calibration process. Read all the on screen information but nothing worked. Could be my phone, but I doubt it.

The app works great, it helped me fix my old record player. However, after you leave it measuring the rpm for about 20 seconds an ad pops up and you have to close the app to measure again. It works great though
