This app is designed specifically for banjos, offering tuning modes for 4-string (including Banjolin, Bass, Cello, Tenor, Plectrum), 5-string (with numerous common tunings like Open G, Double C, etc.), and 6-string banjos (Standard and Guitar tuning). ### How does the tuner indicate accuracy? The tuner provides a visual indicator for pitch accuracy. A green arrow signifies that the pitch is accurate, and it turns white if the pitch difference exceeds more than a sub-bit. The scale lights up green for good pitch and white otherwise, guiding users to adjust strings. ### What features does the metronome offer? The metronome boasts an intuitive interface with 18 selectable beat types, ranging from Grave (25-45 BPM) to Prestissimo (200+ BPM). It supports segment beat functions like double, triple, and quad subdivisions, a pendulum display, and a timing display to help control practice duration. ### Is this app free to use? The application is available for free but includes in-app purchases. This suggests that while core tuning and metronome functionalities may be free, certain advanced features or modes might require a purchase. ### What are the benefits of using the metronome's RTP mode? The Real Time Playback (RTP) mode in the metronome ensures precise beat timing and supports dynamic shifting. This allows for a more accurate and responsive practice experience, mimicking live playing conditions. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 2.5 — 2022-04-03 - Bug fixes ### 2.4 — 2021-11-11 -Different screen size devices, user interface and display ratio optimization -Metronome adds recording function and 3 sets of commonly used settings -Bug fix ### 2.3 — 2020-01-03 Bug fixes for iOS13.3 ### 2.2 — 2019-10-21 Bug fixes for iOS 13 ### 2.1 — 2018-10-23 bug fix ## Apps similar to BanjoTuner | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [GuitarTuna: Tune & Play Guitar](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/guitartuna-tune-and-play-guitar/id527588389) | 4.8 (146,520) | Free | Music | | [Guitar Tuner - Ukulele & Bass](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/guitar-tuner-ukulele-and-bass/id662890455) | 4.4 (7,464) | Free | Music | | [Bass Tuner >>](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bass-tuner/id1471438485) | 4.2 (705) | Free | Music | | [Pro Guitar Tuner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pro-guitar-tuner/id687934254) | 4.7 (10,132) | Free | Music | | [Metronome Tuner \| Practice+](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/metronome-tuner-practice-plus/id858142974) | 4.4 (2,812) | Free | Music | | [n-Track Tuner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/n-track-tuner/id409786458) | 4.7 (3,166) | Free | Music | ## More apps by Hsing-Fu Hsueh - [Erhu Tuner - Pitch](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/erhu-tuner-pitch/id1103119782) - [Violin Tuner - Pitch](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/violin-tuner-pitch/id1185155196) - [Viola Tuner - Pitch](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/viola-tuner-pitch/id1193544408) - [GuQin Tuner - Pitch](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/guqin-tuner-pitch/id1268477087) - [PiPa Tuner-Tuner for PiPa](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pipa-tuner-tuner-for-pipa/id1268904834) - [SanXian Tuner-Tuner SanXian](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sanxian-tuner-tuner-sanxian/id1268910012) All apps by Hsing-Fu Hsueh: https://appshunter.io/developer/1103119781 ## Related topics [5 string banjo tuner](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/5-string-banjo-tuner) · [banjo tuning](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/banjo-tuning) · [free banjo tuner](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/free-banjo-tuner) · [banjo tuner](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/banjo-tuner) · [banjo tuner rhythm](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/banjo-tuner-rhythm) · [banjo tuning app](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/banjo-tuning-app) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
