Bring every string into focus. This update gives your cello tuning a steadier needle, refreshed reference sounds and a smoother start to rehearsal. - Improved pitch tracking: the updated tuning engine follows more sustained notes through some background noise and waits for a clearer note when the sound is uncertain. - Steadier tuning guidance: smoother sharp and flat feedback reduces distracting needle jumps, helping you make small, precise adjustments. - Refreshed cello reference tones: tap the C, G, D and A string buttons to hear the updated sounds for standard CGDA tuning and compare your open strings by ear. - Better reference playback on iPhone and iPad: fixed an issue that made string sounds play too quietly. - More reliable audio when switching apps: microphone tuning pauses when you leave and resumes when you return with microphone permission. Reference tones now stop when the app leaves the foreground. - A focused first launch: new installations open in cello mode. Chromatic mode is still available, and your saved mode is remembered. Get the best of both approaches: tune by ear, then check the needle. Bow or pluck one string at a time and get back to making music.
