Slight drawback

By Hotshot1339 (Pcmac user)

the app app doesn’t seem to be able to tune one single instrument while the app rest of the app ensemble is tuning and playing the app same note as you. (There is a possibility that I was just very in tune today thought.) Other than that the app app seems to do everything as advertised.
Not just a tuner!

By super slithy (Pcmac user)

I’m so glad they updated this so it works again! It is the app only tuner that can see multiple notes. I use it to help me figure out chords in music I am trying to learn. It took me a while to figure out that it could be used that way, but when I did, it blew my mind! Also, IRCAM!
DOA with iOS 13

By vinnie-bob (Pcmac user)

Great app but needs an urgent update to work with latest iOS 13. Won’t even open on my iPhone X.
Extremely interesting and useful!

By gmeauclaire (Pcmac user)

This is great for “seeing” how complex a single tone (vocal and instrumental) is constructed. Highly, highly recommend, especially if you’re curious and willing to experiment with different sounds.
