Good

A good tuner app. I've been using it since an iPhone 4 and it has always been fantastic. However recently an alert popped up every time I open it, informing me that the developer needs to update this app to improve compatibility. By the time iOS 10.3 is released, this app will be irrelevant and probably won't even launch until it gets updated to 64-bit support. The future of all good apps. Please update this app so I don't have to buy a new tuner app!

Best tuner I've used.

I am a guitar teacher and I use this all the time. It works very well. It doesn't jump around like a lot of other tuners do. Gets you perfectly in tune, and I mean perfectly in tune. It's very easy to use. Although recently the orientation quit working. So if I turn my phone upside down it is upside down too. It use to stay upright all the time. Tech support reply fast too.

Appears to be abandoned

This used to be one of my most used applications, for tuning my string and wind instruments. Easy and intuitive to use. It stopped working properly with iOS9 (juddering needle) and the developers replied to say fixing it required a complete rewrite for iOS9. There has been no further response and no updates for some years, so sadly this looks like 'abandonware'. I'm sorry to be giving this just one star, but software that doesn't work at all cannot merit any higher, however good it used to be. I have now migrated to InsTuner.

UPDATE : Upgraded to iOS 10 at developer's suggestion. Cleartune not working in iOS 10 either.

Wonderful

As a string teacher I use this app on a daily basis and I love it. It hears string bass notes which is super helpful and works well on harmonics as well! Love it. My only suggestion/request is can we add a widget to the today screen/notification bar? I would love to not have to unlock my phone every time a student bumps their instrument and I have to retune everything. That tiny change would revolutionize time management in the classroom setting.

Great app but...

I've had this app for quite a while now and have thoroughly enjoyed its usefulness. With Apple's recent updates and such the tuner lost its controllability.
My needle now dances all over the place and I have contacted the company regarding this and they said they were working on a fix but I haven't seen one and it has been months now.
My wife has the same app but hasn't updated her iOS and the app works flawlessly.
I'm still waiting for the newest update for the erratic needle fix.

Very cool. Test your hearing.

I bought it to tune my guitar and to just play with sounds. However, I discovered it is an excellent way to test your hearing. Turn the volume down some and use a good set of earphones to test your hearing for losses. People with hearing loss could actually use this to track the character of their hearing loss over time. Musicians or people who like to listen to loud music could use it to be sure they're not losing hearing as time goes on. Useful.

hmm not impressed

everyone in the ensemble that I am in highly recommended this app and it was great when I tried it on their phones, so I had high expectations. I recently just tried to download it and accepted the $4.99 fee but before it even started downloading I got a notification telling me that it is unable to download? I tried numerous times and it still won't download. I am thoroughly unimpressed especially since I payed good money for it πŸ˜’

Great tuner app!

Makes tuning super easy - even for a beginner! But seems to have a heap of features that would be valuable for more advanced users, but these don't get in the way.

Tuning a Hammered Dulcimer :)

I recently built a Hammered Dulcimer, but I only had a clip-on guitar tuner (no where to clip it too!).
I did a search and came up with a review of several iPad tuners, and the Cleartune was highly recommended, and I have to agree. I just load up the app and pop my iPad close to the Dulcimer and tune away - I’ve got perfect results… Very happy with it.

Very Good

Many professional harpsichord players are now asking for the more obscure tunings which are constantly appearing. Cleartune supplies many 'ready made' and others can be programmed in. I've tested it with sophisticated apparatus and it is spot on.

All this for less than three quid? miraculous!
