Users find SpecStream Audio Spectrum Plot simple and functional for basic spectrum plotting but frequently mention its limited frequency range, lack of customization options like axis scaling or color changes, and absence of meaningful graph references. Several users desire features such as the ability to enlarge the display, load files, and better interaction beyond just pausing, indicating that while the app serves as a basic tool, it needs enhancement to be more useful and informative.
