*2024-01-24*

The app is opening to a blank screen again   Just updated to iOS 17.3

### 1/5 — Black screen UI issue persists

*2023-06-23*

The black screen issue described as resolved in the version 1.2 notes is not fixed. The issue persists on IOS16

### 2/5 — Drone Tuner

*2021-10-26*

It could be just me but I have problems with the drone tuner, when it reads “in tune” all I hear is ‘whawhawhawha’ its not even close to being in tune. I have contacted customer support many time and never get a replay.there is plenty o customer support drone tuner does not work at all, when it says balanced it is easy wa AA wa. Money would be better spent on other reliable app

### 3/5 — Cracking app but buggy after latest release

*2025-04-02*

Updating my review as doesn’t seem to be any way to get in contact regarding bugs. The recent update has got things working again but now defaults to advanced accuracy and 480Hz. Even if you modify these settings, when changing between chanter, drum, drones, the app resets back to default settings.  

Cracking tuning app for bagpipes. Very intuitive to use without busy fiddly interface and gives great results.

### 3/5 — Please fix the black screen

*2024-09-25*

Great app for tuning, but still half the time the homepage is black. Super annoying, please fix!

### 3/5 — Was a Great App

*2024-02-05*

Turned very laggy sometimes not opening up the app, becoming a distraction.
Used to be fantastic perhaps it’s the iPhone 15 !

### 5/5 — Brilliant app for tuning bass and tenor drums

*2025-04-04*

Accurate, precise and affordable - Balance is just great!

### 5/5 — Cracking app

*2024-01-27, version 1.2*

Cracking tuning app for bagpipes. Very intuitive to use without busy fiddly interface and gives great results.

### 5/5 — Does the job

*2022-07-30*

And does it well!

### 5/5 — So easy

*2020-01-03*

This makes tuning SO easy and quick! More time spent practicing and feeling good about the sound I’m making!
