Leave a Review TuneLab Piano Tuner
Okay but not my favorite
Tune lab gets the job done with acceptable results. It is good to have as a back up and I really like being able to see the peaks for a pitch raise. I also own an Accu-tuner 4 and prefer using that over tune lab for fine tunings. The Accu-tuner beats tune lab every time on the quality of tuning and ease of use when fine tuning.Show lessJFrank90

I've been using Tunelab for the IPhone for about two decades now and am very pleased with it. I have also used the more expensive programs out there and tho they are good they are not better quality. Also, Tunelab has good support if you have any questions. Try that with Cybertuner(they want you to pay extra for any help). I recommend Tunelab over the others in price and equal quality of product.Show lessPianotunerman
Fantastic
I have been using TuneLab for over 5 years now. As a piano technician and tuner I highly recommend this app. It is simple to use and accurate as well as cheaper than many of the other professional piano tuning tools and/or software available.EllhartConn8D
Yes it works but …
Years ago, i would have rated this a 4 star. The app works, yes. The tunings are good, not great but certainly decent. But no improvements have been made in years! The app still looks like something from the seventies and most importantly, requires (Yes REQUIRES) a dropbox account for file sharing. After all these years milking for money, the author cannot be bothered to add icloud syncing (which is not difficult, being a software dev myself). I don’t always have an ipad available, being able to go between ipad and iphone is a must for me. No i don’t want bloatware dropbox on my iphone/ipad.Show lessjoost4u

The Dropbox app does not need to be installed to use the Dropbox functions in TuneLab. The Dropbox functions in TuneLab (uploading and downloading) are self-contained within TuneLab.Charged wrong price!
After much consideration and advice from colleagues, I opted to purchase Tunelab to assist my aural tunings with difficult temperaments and stretches. Throwing down $299.99 isn’t an everyday thing for me. You can imagine my frustration when instead of being charged the displayed $299.99, I was charged $320.99 instead! Unfortunately this means that my initial experience has left a poor taste in my mouth. I feel cheated. I’d like a refund for the difference.Show lessPreacherManNC
Extremely Useful
I started tuning my pianos a couple years ago (m&h aa, yamaha c5) and this tool has helped me immensely! Calculating the stretch and inharmonicity really helped me have a solid starting point to work from. In addition the phase display has helped my aural tuning by providing visual feedback to what I hear.
I'm not a pro and I'm sure I don't take advantage of all its features but as an amateur this too is indispensible!
My pianos sound better than they ever had and I learned loads of great acoustic theory in the process. Well done!Show lessLongmont CO
A must have tool
I have been a piano tuner for over 40 years. I started using Tune Lab 11 years ago and love it
The most valuable thing about it is that I can tune even in extremely noisy locations with full confidence
The most challenging situation involved tuning in a building full of noisy people. Pouring rain on a metal roof and concrete floor. The acoustics were so bad I couldn’t really even hear the piano. It would have been impossible to tune by ear but TuneLab saved the day. Thank you TuneLabShow lesshooked on tunelab
Help! I’m not a pro!
Please let me return this. Never should have bought it without looking into it further. I’m not a seasoned veteran and can’t understand what the app is asking me to do.Mocha Micah

As the app description says, this is for professional piano tuners. Non-professionals should not buy the app unless they want to commit to learning what professional piano tuners know.Great app
I’ve been using TuneLab for about 15 years of my 40 year piano tuning career. I have some of the more expensive apps, but have come to sure TL more than the others because of its simplicity. It’s great for pitch raises also. I recommend it.Asdf75
For Professional Use
I am a long time “by ear only” professional piano technician who started using TuneLab a decade ago just for experimenting. This is not a “do it yourself” tuning app for pianos. It is an excellent measuring tool for real piano technicians who already understand the fundamentals of piano tuning. Everyone has their preferences, but it is in the same league as Verituner and CyberTuner, other pro apps in the pricing stratosphere. It is especially useful for pitch raising and tuning in noisy environments. I recommend it.Show lessTJArm
