Those of us old enough to remember tuning to an oscilloscope can appreciate 1) the speed of response 2) the detail provided by the waveform and 3) the comfort of the drone reference. I use it both with and without drone playback, and reference it both generally for detail work, or specifically and slowly for slow practice. Congratulations Mani, you have created a beautiful piece of software. ### 2/5 — Totally defective *2025-01-12* This was my favorite tuner for a couple of months until it stopped working this past fall. Tones pulse like a skipping CD, the pitch won’t change, it won’t register my pitch at all, it plays the wrong instrument. Totally useless now. ### 5/5 — Sehr gute App um Intonation zu trainieren *2022-04-28* Sehr responsiv, schöne Darstellung. Auch sehr gut geeignet um Intonation in Akkorden zu trainieren. Zudem ist das Stimmen nach Drones auf jedenfall realistischer als synthetische Töne klassischer Stimmgeräte. Absolute Empfehlung! ### 5/5 — Love it. Fav tuner *2021-05-07* Best tuner I’ve used. ### 1/5 — Bugs!!! *2019-10-18* Drones goes crazy and noise distorts! I want a refund! **Developer response:** Thanks for reporting the bug. Yesterday’s update fixed this. Please download the new version and contact us via this form if you have any more troubles: http://bluemangoo.com/contact_us.php ### 1/5 — :( *2019-10-09* I’m a professional musician(woodwinds) and this app is really appealing. Cool display, too. But on my iPhone 6s, the tone only sustains for a few seconds before the sound in my headphones becomes completely distorted and unusable. The images on screen continue to respond to my playing, so it’s probably an audio output problem within the app(?) If this can be fixed, I’d give five stars for sure. **Developer response:** Thanks for reporting the bug. Yesterday’s update fixed this.

The discordant notes LOOK discordant. Some cross keys produce interesting shapes. It would be nice if it could record your sound and visual! ### 4/5 — Best Drone app *2018-11-06* I absolutely love this app! I have other drone apps that are good but the response and realistic sound of this one is leagues above the others. However, I do wish the app had a feature that would allow automatic cycling through the notes so that the player could work on intonation and hearing that particular note while working on speed without the need to stop, select the note, play and repeat. Also having the option to select how long each note is played as well which range of notes to be played would make for a more complete and efficient practice. ### 5/5 — worth the purchase!! *2018-08-22* boasting a wide variety of instruments, octaves, and demonstrations of intervals, “drone tuner” is an incredibly helpful and motivating app that has allowed me to observe visually the mistakes i make with my intonation. not having to scrounge through youtube to find a drone for one note is a huge relief and saves time while one is practicing. though the price tag seems daunting, you are guaranteed to find that your time will be spent in a more valuable, productive manner, and that your ear will sharpen greatly. ### 5/5 — It helps me to adjust my intonation instantly *2018-02-06* This app is huge help , makes my practice very efficient. The app also help my students to practice more accurate at their home. The app is easy to use, even the younger players can use it. They love the cool graphics !! ## Frequently asked questions about Drone Tuner ### What instruments are included in Drone Tuner?
