This is a great straightforward app for testing surround speakers and levels. I use it to collaborate my surround speakers and levels. Would you please consider an app update to test Atmos channels. Show more

The first 2 of the 4 Subwoofer Check tests do not exercise the subwoofer. Its icon stays gray, and I hear no audio from it. During the third and fourth tests, its icon is blue and I hear audio from it, but only the first 2 tests provide a frequency sweep, which is what was advertised and what I was seeking when I paid for it. Am I missing something? Show more

I’m new to using AirPods Pro and the 5.1 Speaker Check was a great way to test Spatial Audio!

The app doesn’t seem to be transmitting Dolby Digital 5.1 as of tvOS 14.4 (18K802). I’ve tried the native tvOS version of this app, screen mirroring, and airplay to the AppleTV. My setup is AppleTV 4K -> Samsung OneConnect box (via HDMI) -> Sonos Amp via HDMI eARC, and I have AppleTV set to Auto Audio Format (as opposed to Change Format with DD5.1, although I have tried that too to no avail). Typically, there’s an option in the Samsung settings to pass through Dolby Digital 5.1 when it senses that signal coming from the input device, and sure enough I get Dolby 5.1 in other apps (e.g. Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max), but not with this app anymore. I know it used to work like a year ago so not sure what has changed. Show more

Really like the app, but I bought the center speaker test then had to reinstall the app, but the app just says to buy the test again, with no button to restore purchases!!! Help! Show more

Have old original Bose Solo, just running this app makes this old speaker sound like it was brand new! Don’t know how but it corrects the glitches! Thank you! E

It’s great that this app works as a companion to the AppleTV app / but wish it worked to help calibrate. It would be great if the AppleTV played a sound that the iOS app heard, and I could tune the settings on my sound bar to calibrate it to my room setup. I’d pay money for that feature, I have a Vizio Atmos sound bar and they have no tools to know if I’m runner accurately. Each persons room is different - this could be a nice extension of this app. Show more

I love the idea that I can test my speaker for the correct surround sound. I just purchased the Apple TV 4K and wanted to be sure that the speakers were placed correctly. During the 5 speaker test all the speaker images were blue and the sound from each speaker was great. I spent the additional $.99 to get the center speaker test. This is the test that is confusing to me. There are three parts to this test. When I do the second part, which is the dialogue, the center speaker as well as the left and right speakers are red during that part of the test. There is a mention of phantom speakers. My confusion is that I do not know what a red speaker image means and what to do about it. And there is no manual or explanation. So bottom line is that I really like being able to do this test. But there is no explanation as to what it means what to do if the speaker image is red. That is the only reason I gave it a four star. Show more

Was looking everywhere for a test surround source and found this one. Downloaded from my iPhone and then activated the iPhone mirror function to my Apple TV and it worked perfectly! I really like the entertaining music riffs as opposed to sound signals to confirm the sound channels. Downloaded and purchased the sound ear candy app next, to my Apple TV after listening to a few samples. Turned out that purchase was well worth the investment! LOVE the surround sound arranged tracks! I would say “Rain” is my fav for a very relaxing ambiance and the pic goes great to enhance the ambient mood in the room, but they’re all pretty great! Already looking forward to the new tracks I hope are coming soon! Show more

And it helped me resolve some issues with my original Kenwood 5.1 surround sound system. It’s one of the first surround sound systems I had ever seen I got it and the speakers for 100 bucks flat, original unit, original speakers. Which means that I’ve got two columns 3 3/4 feet tall that include 15 inch woofers, The satellite speakers for the rear were kind of sucky though, so I set up a couple of medium sized Technics speakers that had a three-way passive crossover system. So the explosions and stuff sound pretty good from the rear speakers. The center speaker is all right but I also have a Klipsch SW hooked up to an extra Yamaha receiver wired up in mono and the EQ completely disabled so as to not add extra coloration. But the main problem with the Kenwood is ringing out the system so that it sounds like proper surroundsound when you are sitting in the middle of the room, but fortunately I am able to tell the system exactly where I am in the room, how far away the speakers are from each other, exactly where are the rear speakers are, and it’s very easy to set that, except that the measuring units are all in meters on the system. But this app allows me to make sure that I have done it properly if it doesn’t sound right in this app then it’s not going to sound right when you are watching a movie later. The developer also has an air candy app for you to enjoy when you have your system set up properly and it’s worth the four extra dollars to download the music, check out the James Bond theme especially, 64 guitar tracks! Unfortunately the only issue I have with this app is that the subwoofer check doesn’t completely work when it is doing the comparison. It works at the beginning when it sends the different frequencies through the subwoofer but when it is playing the music, and switches between the surround system and the subwoofer, the subwoofer does not play. There is also another frequency test toward the end where it is supposed to be sending sounds through the sub, but they simply don’t come through. Perhaps the Apple TV version of this app will do it but for some reason I can’t get the subwoofer test to come up. Show more

My Apple TV 4 is connected to a Yamaha cinema unit and it was hard to tell if it was automatically deciding the audio. This app helped me see that it was working unfortunately the speakers in the visual don’t show where the sound is coming from. Show more
