You took away the lock/unlock?

I have recommended this app many many times. Tracking is better than most professional hardware tuners. Pitch pipe feature is crucial too! I wish I could still get between notes with it though. Why did the lock/unlock button go away?

A great app now totally useless!!

I can never understand this.. I had this amazing paid app which worked beautifully and now an update (which annoyingly removed the Unlock feature) has ruined it. It is now completely useless - regardless of sensitivity setting and with the phone right next to my violin, the pointer just seems to arbitrarily flick backwards and forwards indicating nothing! Very annoyed that a fully paid-for app is no longer fit for purpose. It should either be fixed or removed from the app store.

Used to be the standard...

This app has been on my devices for years because it was the most accurate and responsive tuner out there for iOS. After the update, it has been unusable and inaccurate. I have no problem using the Polytune on my board, but Cleartune was always nice to have in a pinch, or for an impromptu acoustic jam. I hope they get back to the basics and fix the shoddiness and new design of the app so that it is responsive and usable again. I did pay full price for it at one point.

Why did you remove features?

This has been my go-to tuner for years. As a music teacher, I was able to use the app on two different devices side-by-side to demonstrate what it sounds like when two pitches go in and out of tune with each other (using the tone generator). The “unlocking” feature that removes the pitch grid is essential to the success of this lesson because the students could see the wheel move farther and farther away from the pitch and compare it with the sound waves they hear (as the waves get faster, the pitches go out of tune with one another). They LOVED it and it was an extremely effective lesson. This feature has been removed, unfortunately, and now I need to find an alternative app. Very disappointed.

Works really well

Thank you for fixing the iOS 11 problem. I’m glad to have cleartune back. It works really well for tuning the violin. I tried another app when ct wasn’t working and it really didn’t work satisfactorily.

The best realtime tuner on the iPhone

This chromatic tuner is great. I can play the sax along to it and it responds so fast that I can keep track of the tuning for every note live. This is the best of the three tuning apps I tested out. As the others are guitar based. This also gives you a pitch fork option which makes it better than my hardware tuner which cost me £35!

too good to be true, but it is true

I have always had trouble keeping my mandolin in tune. The string sets never or seldom ever sounded right to me my guitar, mandolin, dobro and banjo have never sounded so good! I triedClear tune in noisy rooms where other tuners failed, and it worked perfectly! In less than a week, I have scrapped my various clip on tuners in favor of this extremely accurate Cleartune tuner. It is worth the money at several times the price!!!

Update already!

Loved this app since I bought years ago, perfect for practicing, perfect for helping my students, was definitely 5 stars. But it hasn’t been properly updated in several months (not sure what’s up with the ever-recurring “2 minutes ago” update.) It’s slow, no longer does the red/green triangle thingy, please update, I miss using this app in its former glory!!!!

New update has ruined a great app!

The new update interface is clunky as heck. I’ve used Cleartune for years, the smooth note dial was the best feature and better than all other tuners I’ve seen. Now it’s bigger and doesn’t roll smoothly, it’s the same as many of the free tuner apps you can get. Disappointed!

Used to be perfect

I am a classical violinist and violist as well as a teacher. I also play other instruments for a hobby. This app used to be perfect whether I was tuning a note that had to be perfect, tuning my violin knowing it had to be exactly in tune with other tuners, or tuning my banjo or tenor guitar. Now the wheel flails aimlessly no matter what the needle damping setting is. I’m not recommending this to my students any longer and probably won’t use it any more myself until I see another update and give it a test drive.
