Pros and cons of Octave RTA app for iPhone and iPad

Octave RTA app good for

I love this app! It definitely does the job! It is practical without being complicated. Reminds me of the old hand held analyzers we had years ago, but its much better! I like that I can switch from octave to 1/3 to 1/6, also that I can switch from bars to line graph, change the speed, and choose the type of peak indicator I want. And pause it while I make adjustments to my equipment!

If you are experiencing the app flashing, try rotating the device on its other side. This has worked for me.

Use the iPhone mic for ringing out monitors. Accurate enough.

This app works excellent on my iPhone 6 w/ iOs 8.3. The layout is wonderful and it seems relatively accurate. I run a budget live sound company and this app is exactly what I need. Not too much, not too little. No option to change colors of the display, but Im happy with the look, so it works well for me.

It is hand held. Not as accurate as having a specialized device with a mic, but on the fly, it is the best.

This app works as well as my $400+ sound analyzer and is much easier to carry and set up. If you work with sound and need to get rid of a little ring or multiple harmonic blends, this app will help.

Some bad moments

Please, add gain parameter. Without this knob app dont workable

ios 9.1, ipad3 i still have permanent screen flashing. app does not work.

Using this last night at the start of a three day your. Really like the almost liquid like animation on the waveform display. Works great on both iPhone 5 and the latest iPad. Full screen on iPhone 6 is nice.

This is a great app! Love being able to drag the cursor to the peaking frequency.

Wish I could weight the curve. Other than that works as described.

Very easy to use. Easy to read. Liked it right away. Fully functional. Best Ive seen. You wont be disappointed.
