Great App
Works very well - been able to tune my pipes with it much quicker and easier.
A very useful addition to any pipers tools for playing and improving your sound.

Great app for the whole band
This app, although expensive for an iPhone application, allows anyone to tune their pipes without having to spend a fortune on a tuner. Yes, there are other free tuning apps for the iPhone, but this one makes it easier to tune the band quickly. I would highly recommend it for bands or individuals.

Superb!
Absolutely amazing - love it! Affordable, easy to use and more accurate than anything I've used. The band's drones and chanters are singing! Using it in conjunction with my HB2 tuner! A must have for every piper! Five stars!
Excellent app
I find this app works better than the stand-alone bagpipe tuners available currently.
The only things I recommend for improvement:
1. Allow the setting of the pitch manually from the app itself; currently you have to go to the Setting app to manually set the pitch.
2. I would prefer if the top analog-style meter re-centered itself on the set pitch rather than 466Hz. I find myself not using this meter, as it makes everything look sharp, since most of my chanters are tuning above 466Hz.
But these are nits. The app works exactly as stated and I even without the above features, I give this 5-stars.

Essential Tool for All Pipers
This is the first truly useful app for accurately tuning bagpipes.
It is both beautifully designed and performs multiple functions. A pitch reading can be taken from Low A and then locked in and used to tune drones. This was tested in a noisy band environment and the application performed flawlessly allowing accurate drone tuning. The damping seems just right and the iPhone microphone was not overwhelmed. The meter correctly differentiated between and identified tenor and bass drones.
The pitch reading was tested against our usual analog device and it produced identical results - so the app isn't just for pipers. The mid-section can also use the app to set their base pitch without any further reference to the pipers.
The meter is calibrated for the bagpipe scale and can be used to tune individual notes with sharp or flat notes shown as deviations from the desired frequency.
We've had analog meters fail at the most inopportune times and this app provides essential insurance against this occurrence - as well as being an indispensable tool itself.
I can't recommend Murray's app highly enough!

Excellent user interface, easy to use.
This device will add value to any pipe corps with it's quick "learn" feature and ease of use. Not only that, it's one less device to carry in the sporran and let's face it, many of us carry our iPhone in our sporrans already!
I'm most impressed with the user interface, very slick.
All your creative products are excellent Murray, and this is no exception.

Great tuner
Does what it says with a clean interface, well done!
Awesome!
Great app!! Easy to use! Everything I need so I don't have to lose another tuner. iPhone goes everywhere!
I saw a rumor of this online and have been watching the app store to see when this was going to be released.

Easy to use, and a well though out interface. Congratulations Murray.
