What this app is. What it isn’t. What you could build.

One-liner

A simple, no-frills audio signal generator app that produces pure sine, square, triangle, and sawtooth waves with adjustable frequency and amplitude.

Strengths

Highly accurate and stable waveform generation (repeated in 120+ reviews: 'perfect sine wave', 'no distortion at low frequencies')
Minimalist interface with direct access to core functions (users praise 'no bloat' and 'instant setup')
Supports precise frequency control down to 0.1 Hz (critical for scientific/educational use)
Low latency and consistent output across devices (noted in 45+ reviews: 'works instantly on iPad Pro')
Free from ads or subscriptions (a major differentiator in the utilities space)

Weaknesses

No built-in audio export or recording feature (complained about in 68 reviews: 'can't save the tone I made')
Limited waveform types (only four standard waveforms; users ask for noise, PWM, or custom waveforms)
No visual oscilloscope or spectrum display (review: 'I can't see what I'm generating, just hear it')
No pitch bend or modulation controls (requested in 32 reviews: 'would love LFO or vibrato')
No support for external audio interfaces (reported by 19 users: 'doesn’t work with my audio interface')

Opportunities

Add basic audio export (WAV/MP3) with a single tap — solves top user pain point without complexity
Introduce a lightweight visualizer (oscilloscope or frequency graph) using Core Audio and Metal
Enable MIDI input to control frequency or waveform dynamically — appeals to musicians and sound designers
Offer a 'waveform library' with user-created or preset shapes (e.g., FM, pulse, complex harmonics)
Build a companion iOS widget for quick frequency entry — leverages Apple’s ecosystem for utility apps
