I don't know what the bad reviews are talking about. I almost deleted this app before trying it, but after plucking my Zero's drive belt three times using a wrench I got 59 Hertz every single time.

Used this to tune the belts on a 3D printer. It worked flawlessly. Appreciated it storing the last 4 plucks; this ensured accurate, repeatable readings. Put your phone microphone within an inch of the belt, ideally on a stable surface, in a fixed position.

Helps you get the tension right on your Gates belt drive. Amazing that this works. And it does!

This app does not work. Frequency readings vary wildly and most of the time no measurement is detected.

First, their symbols for microphone recording is bad. When the microphone is blue, then that means it's recording. I thought it was a button that I needed to press to start recording. Second, as I pluck the belt, I don't get near consistent frequencies. I get 20Hz, 40Hz, and 85Hz among others. This means the method of plucking has enough variation to render the test useless for tuning. There's gotta be a better way. I'll pay for a tool that'll physically measure the tension.
