OS: Windows 10 64-bit Ease of use: 10/10
Functionality: 8/10
Value for money: 10/10
Overall: 8/10
The tool is very helpful to find out parameters of unknown media.
In the same time it's the most uncomfortable and unhandy interface I've ever seen!
I would spend some money for a proper redesign.

I registered an account just so I could say what an awesome app you've created! Very useful, and a great technical achievement! THANK YOU for your work and talent with the world - for FREE!
I have _no_ criticisms at all, it works great! If I were forced to give you 1 recommendation I would say the UI could possibly use a little smoothing out - but please do not take it negatively!
I will recommend your app to every friend I have (both of them!).
