New design is joke

The new design is so poor that this once useful pro audio tool is now useless and toy like. How do I easily change setting? Why cant I change the level easily? The old interface sucked but at least it had all the tools. Im glad I still have the audio tools app with all the old versions in it.

PLEASE add the sweeping wheel back. Please

I used to use the sweeping wheel to find frequencies in a live show that were potentially feeding back. I can no longer do that without the wheel. The sweeping bar is not fine tuned enough and even jumps frequencies. This was my main used for this app. The app is now unusable to me.

Useless now

What a shame. This used to be my live tool to pin point feedback by manually dialing through the frequencies. Its useless now. Worst update ever.

Traded its simple functionality for bling

Much like the new eBay app, the developers have decided to trade simplicity and functionality in for a new look. Why? Nothing was wrong with the previous version. Cant remember if this was a purchase or not, but frustrating for sure. Information/hierarchy design is the MOST important aspect of any app or software in my opinion.

Bad update

This app was wonderful before the update. I loved being able to run 2 Hz to check all my wiring was correct. But now the lowest it can go is 20 Hz. The update also deleted the sweeping and octave tools. The new interface might look nice, but I would have preferred the old Interface to this one. I gave it two stars because it was, and still is a great app but they shouldnt have fixed what wasnt broken.

Great little app

Very useful when teaching a class on the physics of sound.

Used to have a great interface...

Now, its interface lacks the frequency sliders and sweep wheels that made the app so easy to use before the update. Please lose the scroll menu in the parameters section and utilize the screen size. The sliders in the parameters section act only as indicators to which frequency is selected - forcing the user to use the number wheels and navigating number wheels in a scroll menu wastes time. Time is spent correcting accidental changes to the number wheels that were made trying to scroll than actually using the app for frequency sweeps. Please bring back the frequency sliders and sweep wheel and get rid of the scrolling parameter menu! Thank you! Love the additional functions and new options of the upgrade, miss the intuitive interface from the old version

An Excellent App

Well-thought, easy to use, accurate, entertaining in an odd way, a fine way to find out how deaf youve gotten over the years. This app can be a very useful tool if you into areas related to sound. Ive had no problems using it.

Do not like new interface.

I need the sweep wheel that you actually move in a dial motion. Re add this or my rating will stand.

Tone Gen Pro

This application updated without my permission. Also this application pestered me to write a review against my wishes. I do not like being bugged to write reviews.

Great update!

Love the new interface. Works great.

Great Tone Generator

This tone generator is easy to use.

New version, with update, is fine.

Works well, supports iPad (again). New interface is a mixed bag: the home screen acts like a compass, which it is not, but that can be stopped in its Settings. The tone generators wheel has been replaced with a linear slider, and on the iPad, thats fine. Dont know how itll be on a phone or ipod with their small screens.

Should have well enough alone it was fine before...

Great App

This just works and works well. Simple to use and interfaces with any amplifier. I use it with an analyzer and its much easier than hauling out my huge HP generator!

Old version better

I liked the old version better. It was easier to use. I use this as a sleep aid and last night the wave changed for no apparent reason.

Ridiculous Gimmick

Liked the old version. Now it looks like a toy. I need a professional tone generator, not a gimmick with a wheel that spins. Ridiculous! Let me choose the interface.

New version is junk-deleting it

Wish I could go back to the old useful version that was an actual tool. New version is only useful for annoying pets and family members. Way to ruin a great app guys. Deleting it now.

Good and accurate

Good signal strength, seems accurate, good for identifying tones you may be hearing and need to figure out.

Why did you change the interface?!

The former interface worked wonderfully well with the sweep wheels and tone selection options. This "updated" version took away so much of the funtionality and ease of use. The new waveform display is nothing but a gimmick, cool to look at for a little while but ultimately useless in professional settings. Please go back to how it was (version 1.08), this is an unacceptable step backwards!
