This update sucks. I had this app from a while back and it was the best version of itself until they made changes and now the equalizer doesnt sound as good as the last update. I dont see the use for "Limiter" or "Reverb" these dont change anything. They downgraded because i remember before this update it was my favorite sound equalizer app to use. Now I will be deleting.
