Microphone permission inhibited by screen time app
Be advised that if you have Apple’s Screen Time app turned on it will not let you see this app in the microphone permission list. iPhone 6 IOS 14.6.
United StatesWould like my $5 back. Didn’t know there were two apps
Didn’t know there was a more advanced app by onyx so I wasted my 5$ downloading this one first. The other one is $15 dollars(Spectrum Analyzer)
United StatesFinding feedback
I use this app often and quickly to find feedback during sound check, when I’m working with a mainly analog system. Great little tool.
United StatesMic gain adjustment
I used to use this app all the time while doing live audio, but the updates have seem to disable the gain on the iPhone internal app. Total bummer.
United StatesMastering Engineer
I must say I am more than disappointed with the latest update, as it does away with two of the things that made it unique: (1) the ability to monitor up to 1/12th of an octave (aka 12 musical semitones per octave. After all isn't this the namesake of the app!?) and on a related note (2) touching the graph no longer provides the quick frequency to pitch readout (aka musical letter name). I can't understand why you would use the update to remove essential features that made your product unique? I used this daily in my professional music mastering studio previously. Also, as a professor at a music technology university I used to recommend that all of my students purchase this app for ear training purposes. We are now experimenting with a replacement, while sorely missing the old Octave app we all used to rave about : (
United StatesExcellent App—Fast Developer Response (Updated)
I have used this application and the past and loved it. I had to re-purchase it because I changed the Apple family I’m associated with. Upon opening the app for the first time, it asked me to go to Settings > Privacy > Microphone to grant it access. However, Octave didn’t show up in the list of apps, so I can’t give it access to the mic. Please fix this and I’ll change my review to 5 stars! :) (I’m running iOS 12.1) UPDATE: Da bug iz fixed! Really fast response from the developer. Thanks for such an excellent app! Works perfectly now.
United StatesiPhone X not supported
Bought this app when I had a 6, does not work on my X. Does not appear when you go to connect your mic.
