User Reviews

User reviews show a split between strong enthusiasm and serious reliability issues. The majority cite major usability problems, including unresponsive buttons, freezing, and difficulty navigating graphs (pan/zoom). A calibration loop was noted in at least one review, and several commenters express a clearly negative overall sentiment, calling the app 'trash' or 'horrendous.' While a couple of reviewers appreciated the visuals and expressed excitement about using it in the lab, the prevailing theme is that the app is unstable and frustrating to use, limiting its practicality in educational lab settings.
Pros
  • Strong positive reception across multiple reviews with enthusiastic praise.
  • App appearance and user interface noted as appealing, with comments that it looks cool.
Cons
  • Significant usability and reliability problems: unresponsive controls, freezing, and difficulty using the app.
  • Graph interaction is poor: pan and zooming spectral graphs is hard.
  • Very negative overall reception in several reviews, including strong dismissals.
