Ratings and reviews

This has been my favorite tuning app for years, I even like it more than my clip on. It is very accurate and used to be very responsive. Lately when you open the app the needle is Frozen for 10 to 20 seconds even though you can see the hz changing and the input meter working in the back ground. The needle will stay frozen straight up or slightly over for 10 to 20 seconds and then finally kicks in. This happens every time the app is opened. Hoping for an update soon.

Idea... Musicians would really really love it if this app had a Widget that we could put on our home screen that looked like a tuner & we could just touch it and it would come alive... This has been my favorite tuner app for years. I play many instruments and I use it to tune them all. Sometimes it takes a while for the app to figure out you're playing a new note and kick in. But overall I love it.

I have been using this app for several years. Never a problem, always quite accurate. The only downfall is that - since you dont plug into it or pick up vibrations off of it - it has to be fairly quiet, otherwise you pick up other instruments pitch, or the pitch of someone's voice. That's to be expected and is fairly easy to work around. Thanks for an awesome app!
