    Get the new THX app for free this week!

    No, this is not a bad spammer post.

    Really.

    I promise.

    THX just released a new app. As far as I know, it's their first app, not a new version. But they're letting people download it for free this first week only. I don't know how much it's going to cost after that, or if even the app you download will have to be paid for after this week to unlock, like some sort of trial version. But get it while you can!!!



    I downloaded it for iOS. Looks pretty darn cool. Has built-in calibration material for audio and video. It even has you input what A/V equipment you use, and then gives you step by step instructions on how to perform various A/V system calibrations. Of course, it's not going to replace a professional calibration, as you would still need a visual spectrum analyzer and such, but it's absolutely a good start to begin with calibrations. You can play THX trailers and audio too. (very cool idea to include those, I think, since they're so popular)

    Well, sadly it's iphone or ipad only, no android. So I guess I'm out on this.

            Trial now over. If you downloaded it during the free period, it looks like the app still works. Hasn't been turned off. For those who missed the free purchase, it's now $1.99.

            Saved me $2. Nice!

              Digging up this older thread because I've received notification from THX that their app is once again free this week, until February 3rd, 2014. What's more, it is now available for both iOS and Android.

              Take advantage real quick, and pick this one up for free!

                  I tried to D/L it, but I got the message that my Samsung Galaxy S3 will not work with it, so it refused to even try installing it.

                  Dang, a S3 Galaxy is only a 1 year old phone. No way am I going to go out and get another phone just for a free THX app!

                    Yeah, this is a bummer. Found this FAQ over on THX.

                    3. What Android Mobile Device Must I Have In Order To Use THX Tune-Up?

                    THX tune-up works on the following mobile devices with Android OS 4.2.2 or later.

                    HTC One
                    HTC One Max
                    HTC One X
                    HTC One X+
                    Nexus 4 phone
                    Nexus 5 phone
                    Nexus 7-2013 tablet
                    Nexus 10 tablet
                    Samsung Galaxy S4 phone
                    Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phone/table
                    Glad I got this on my iOS device last year.
