What is RPM?

The RPM app is a mobile app that allows users to test the RPM speed and wow/flutter accuracy of their turntable. It provides real-time graphics to display the RPM speed variations and wow/flutter effects of the turntable. The app uses the gyroscope in the iPhone to determine the rotation speed of the turntable and automatically determines which speed setting the user is on. The app also features a scrolling graph of the RPM accuracy variation over time, which shows wow/flutter effects, belt wear, and other inaccuracies. The app also has a unique feature that visualizes wow and flutter variations plotted around the vinyl center to show a heat map of exactly where inaccuracies occur.



Software Features and Description

1. See the RPM speed variations, know as wow/flutter, of your turntable in real time graphics like you've never seen before, continuous display makes it easy to make adjustments as necessary if your turntable allows it.

2. The UNIQUE feature of RPM is that it shows a scrolling graph of the rpm accuracy variation over time, this shows wow/flutter effects, especially those associated with the turntable not being level, belt wear, etc.

3. There are many ways of testing the average RPM of your turntable, some turntables even have this built in, however there is no other practical way of showing the wow/flutter variation over time than RPM.

4. The RPM realtime display is reliant on the iPhones gyroscope accuracy, if you suspect yours isn't quite right then you can now use Calibration Mode to auto test and then apply any necessary correction in real time.

5. This auto calibration uses the compass to count the turntable revolutions, if you have an older iPhone (not iPhone 6S or newer) then this may be unreliable, in this case you can still add your own multiplier if you have done an independent calibration.

6. Test the RPM speed and wow/flutter accuracy of your turntable, whether 16, 33 1/3, 45, or 78.

7. Upgrade to join in and upload your own turntable data, go to Settings and make sure you have the Freeze time set then do an RPM session as normal.

8. RPM uses the gyroscope in your iPhone to determine the rotation speed of your turntable, automatically determines which speed setting you're on, and reports how accurate it is.

9. The most recent amazing new innovative feature is to visualise wow and flutter variations plotted around the vinyl centre to show a heat map of exactly where in the turntable rotation inaccuracies occur.

10. See the wow/flutter accuracy as the max % deviation from the average rpm of the turntable, as well as graphically in the chart.

11. The World RPM Turntable Performance Database now has over 10,000 submissions from RPM users worldwide to build the ultimate resource for researching the most accurate turntables out there.

  • Nice, but let it run for a bit

    By Bradbort (Pcmac user)

    This app is good, although I highly recommend running in calibration mode first. Before I did that on a rega rp3, it was reading way faster than the strobe disk, but once auto calibrated it was quite close. This is with an iPhone XR. I’m still a bit confused about wow and flutter and the circular trace it does. My sense is that it it showing unevenness in rotation and platter flatness, but for wow and flutter the relevant thing is what is happening where the needle touches the record. I’m, not sure if this w&F measure is comparable to what other folks measure. I did take heart, though, that my W&F readings were generally around .2, which seems to be about what most turntables in the database show...but I have no idea if other TT measurement systems would come up with the same number.
  • Great App, priced right!

    By 2co0 (Pcmac user)

    This is really a great app and saved me a lot of money!! Still running my cheap 15 year old Pro-ject 1.2 and am always thinking about getting that Rega, VPI, or fancy Sota. Well just replaced the cartridge for the 6th or 7th time, cleaned the not quite worn out belt and adjusted the motor “suspension” yet again. Never had the guts to measure the speed before so printed a few strobe discs and found it runs a hair fast with a little wow. Not fully convinced came across a turntable review that mentioned an iPhone speed app, who knew?! Well my table measures .24% fast and .14 - .2% w&f. Better yet, the graph looks as good or better than most Regas in the new database! New respect for my tired old table which I will keep going and put my money into records!! Thank you Philip! A suggestion and recommendation : - It would be nice to see the entire captured graph - I get better w&f with a comparable weight placed opposite on the platter. I used a shot glass.
  • Unusable app now?

    By White stick bear (Pcmac user)

    When I first downloaded this app location I was able to use it with voiceover but apparently some changes have made it completely unusable. There are settings that may fix that issue but they require payment, and I will not pay for an app until I can verify that it will work with voiceover. What needs to happen is extra features need to be in abled for a certain number of days or tests or something similar so everything can be evaluated for blind accessibility before I am asked to pay for an application that I may not even be able to use. Having these extra features require payment when they benefit the makers of the application more than a benefit the users of the application also seems suspect.
  • Extremely useful

    By rhcm123 (Pcmac user)

    I have several turntables of varying age, and some of them are not in working order. I’ve been repairing them but testing the this app was kinda hard - until I got this app. Much easier to use than my old jerryrigged this app meter: place the phone down and it does the rest. I would also suggest upgrading to the paid version, for more detail, if you’re doing something similar to me; if you’re just checking your turntable then I think the ad-supported version is fine. Would recommend.
