Latest reviews of MC Oscilloscope app for iPhone and iPad

mixed
Glad it has audiobus support and it is usable, but very limited control. Controls are on a separate page from the oscilloscope so it does not seem possible to adjust these in real time. The controls are also hard to use, they are small and if you miss them the page slides away to a help page. Mostly the controls are too simple. For instance for triggering there is only an on/off and level. Knobs on the main page like a real oscilloscope with multiple trigger modes would help immensely. There seems to be an intention to allow pinch type controls on the display to adjust the display calibration, but it doest work in any intuitive or useable way. Should be able to just pinch on the display to zoom out/in etc. it doesn’t seem like it would take much to make this a good program. As it is, its somewhat frustrating to use.
Almost unusable
The app is a good idea, poor implementation. I cannot figure how to shut it off without powering down the phone ( or iPad). Response is terribly slow. No start-stop markers or no method to capture data. I was able to do screen capture, but that is an apple function( press home and power together. )
Non responsive, laggy app. Sorry..
I was really happy to get an oscilloscope to look at some waves. I was really disappointed instantly with the UI and lag. Love the colors though.
