Fender Tune is a precision tuning app for guitar, bass, and ukulele. It offers various tuning modes, including auto-tune, manual tune, and chromatic tune, to help musicians achieve perfect pitch. Additionally, it provides a comprehensive practice toolkit with interactive chord and scale libraries, drum beats, and a metronome.
Key features include precise auto-tune and manual tuning modes, a chromatic tuner, 26 alternate and custom tuning options, an extensive interactive chord library with over 5000 chords, and an interactive scale library with over 2000 scales. It also includes customizable drum beats and a metronome for practice.
The core tuning functionality and a suite of practice resources are available for free. However, the app also offers 'Tune Plus' which may include advanced features or expanded content, potentially through in-app purchases or a subscription model, though the description emphasizes free access to a large suite of resources.
Fender Tune is designed for tuning guitars (acoustic and electric), bass guitars, and ukuleles. The app's features, such as the chord and scale libraries, are specifically tailored for six-string guitars.
In Auto-Tune Mode, you pluck a string, and the tuner listens to the note to guide you to the correct pitch. A string-by-string diagram will display the selected tuning, helping you visually confirm when your instrument is perfectly in tune.
