Outstanding!
As a music educator and musician, I cannot express how valuable this app has been to my students and I since I downloaded it at least 7 years ago. Utilizing the iPhone’s microphone, this app is more sensitive to sound than dedicated, battery operated tuners. I utilize this app to tune myself during rehearsals over my actual tuner (flute & piccolo are my primaries). I also use this app to tune my students and put it on transpose mode when I am teaching horn lessons. The fact that it is a metronome as well is amazing! There are a myriad of settings for the metronome that are helpful for any level of practicing and instruction. If you are in need of a tuner, to say TE tuner is well worth the cost is an understatement!

What I had always wanted
Superb in every way. Gives great metronome plus tone finder which is so useful when practicing.
Great Musical Tool
This TE Tuner has helped me greatly. A suggestion. Add voice to the tuner so that when you are not hitting the notes exactly as they should be played, an AI added application could perhaps say” you are in tune but to hit the note in the middle while playing your instrument, I’m using trumpet as an example, the TE Tuner would say “you might want to use a little less air, or try to maintain the airflow longer without a break in air flow “.
This is a great tool. Whoever developed it did a great job. I would love as I practice my trumpet lessons or even playing one note, I could get an instant playback without going into another app on the TE Tuner. Streamline the tuner so that ease of use is enhanced. When I say streamline the tuner I mean with the incorporation of AI, through voice recognition it

Great
This app has so much use and all the pros recommend it. I’m hoping it will help me play my sax more in tune.
Wouldn’t be without this app
This is just a wonderful app for keeping my songs in true pitch singing with this to hand is so valuable! I would not like to be without it!
Amazing but increasingly buggy
I love this app and use it every practice session, as it has many awesome features that I’ve yet to see elsewhere, including recording analysis, random beat silencing in the metronome, and many options for sound of metronome or drone. However, I find myself frustrated that this app gets buggier each time Apple puts out a new update. My running tally is as follows:
- only uses one of my phone’s main speakers for audio, making any drone or met functions useless on my phone without a Bluetooth device.
- if I use the pitch tab to set a drone and then move to the analysis tab, all my drones stop playing when I move to any other tab, forcing me to either set up all my drones again or to simply just not use this function in conjunction with drones.
- Every time I open the app, I have to swipe down to my phone settings screen for it to register and use my connected Bluetooth device. Very frustrating in conjunction with the first point.
- completely crashes if I get a phone call while recording audio.
None of these issues are deal breakers for me, but they cause me frustration every day, and I would like if updates were more focused on fixing these issues that impact ease of use and functionality over giving us practice streaks and emojis on our tuners.

Response from developer
These are great bug reports, many of them we actually haven’t received before… please feel free to send an email to support@tonalenergy.com and we can have an interactive conversation, in case we have questions reproducing them. Thanks!
Simply the best instrument app
Fantastic app, very accurate, easy to use and full of features. Well worth the purchase price.
Excellent app
So well designed. Useful and fun.
Great Gadget!
I use this app every day. I especially like the metronome features. I program in the meters and measures of my Brass Band music at tempo then I can play through each piece without stopping to check my tempo through the changes. The app allows you to put in rits. and every other variation of tempo needed in performance. I also use the drones for long tone practices. If during a rehearsal there is a questionable interval, I just write down what pitch the other guys got and when I get home I work with the tuner/drone just to make sure that my parts where it needs to be.I haven’t started to dive into the practice log yet. So except for the practice log I use every other feature that I know this app is capable of every day. I personally find it to be a very robust and flexible program. The updates are always current. I’ve never had any response problems with it. I couldn’t even imagine not having this app. As an older person it is a tool I really wish I could’ve had when I was starting out.
