Are phone app spectrum analyzers accurate?


I'm constantly amazed at the cool things a smart phone can do.  There are several spec. analyzer apps available but I'm wondering if they're really accurate enough to use for system tuning?  I've tried a couple of these and I like Speedy Spectrum and Spectrum Analyze (for android) the best for features and apparent accuracy.
My old Heathkit portable analyzer looks to be toast (yeah--I'm that old).

What are the thoughts from the hive?

I use RTA for a rough guide. It seems to match up pretty closely with the hi-tech program my dealer used to calibrate my DSP.

Genelec Speaker Angle is useful to align your speakers.
