Useful, but needs updates/configurability

Great app! I wish it was updated for newer products(iPad models, iPhone 5, etc.)

Great tool for the money. I use this app for quick references during every live show.

Great, easy app!

Title says it all - works well, easy to use and self-explanatory. This should be on every sound engineer's phone!

Doesn't work with iOS 7

When will this work again? It was great with iOS 6 and before. All it does now is freeze when it is opened.

IPad, not so much

Does not view properly on an iPad. Issues. Works great on my iPhone', but look for another solution on iPad.

Have been using it to tune rooms for small concerts, as a pink noise source and analyzer. I keep it running during the show, and it really helps isolate feedback. Haven't had the battery issue that the other reviewer had, but I just make sure to exit the app when not using it. Great work!

Fixed

Wow! Fixed. It's nice to have such a good tool back working in a good way. This really is a valuable tool for visualizing as you run live sound. Thanks for fixing it. ---------- Same as before. This app continues to run after you exit it and drains your battery. I cannot understand why, update after update, the developer continues to cling to this "feature". If you actually think that there is some use for this "feature", make it an option. I shouldn't have to stop the app before I exit it; this is not the iPhone paradigm and, as a result, users are likely to forget to do it. You hit home to exit the app, pocket your phone, and a few hours later discover this app still running and your battery low. ------------ Same problem. This app continues to run after you exit the app and it drains your battery. ----------- Same problem. ----------- Yet another update that does not address the biggest -- well, only -- flaw in this app: it still continues to run after you exit it which drains your battery. ------------ I wish the author would make the battery-draining background mode optional. ----------- The author continues to tweak many aspects of this app, but it still keeps running after you exit it which drains your battery. ----/--/ Same thing again. The author obviously likes to drain your battery. --------- New do-dadhs, but it still drains your battery if you're not watching. ---------- Still has no way to turn off -- much less to default off -- the battery-draining background operation. Despite many updates, this app hasn't had a favorable review since 2013. ------------- Another update and the battery-draining background operation continues. I really can't understand why this can't be made optional with the default being off. ---------- With each new update, I hope that they will finally remove (or at least make optional) the battery-draining background mode. But, this latest update is unchanged in this respect. ----------- New iPhone 6. Latest everything. Still drains the battery by continuing to run after you exit the ap. ---------- Well, they did it again. Another update and the battery burn continues. -------- What can I say? The battery drain continues in yet another update. No wonder this is no longer the most popular RTA in the Apple store. When will the author fix this? ----------- Another update and the drain continues. --------- Another update retains the battery-draining background operating feature. When you exit this app, it keeps running and sucking your battery. You have to manually kill it. This single "feature" just ruins this otherwise excellent app for me. ------------- Yet Another update and it is clear that the developer feels that this battery-draining background feature is somehow desirable. I have given up. Obviously, they do not read these comments because we have yet another update and the background battery drain remains. They obviously like this "feature." -------- I've been a huge fan of this app for years. I consider it essential for live- sound work. But, recently, they added this "background" mode in which the app keeps running even when you exit it. To stop it, you have to manually kill it... a big and inconvenient extra step. And if you forget to kill it, it will run down your battery. When you're mixing a show, you don't want this extra step. This silly "feature" is a disaster. I have complained and complained and yet this "feature" persists. There are other Real Time Analyzer apps. If you are looking for one, despite how good this app is, I suggest you look elsewhere because of this one overwhelming problem.
