App Works But Can’t Setup Account
I like the app but the auth system no longer works and I cannot save drum kits. No confirmation codes means no log in. Is the service no longer working?
A very helpful tool
While it doesn’t replace your ears, it is a very fast and convenient way to ensure repeatability. For the studio and stage, this greatly speeds up the process. Excellent support too. Could use a “for beginners” guide to get something workable quickly, but there is lots of deep documentation. I wish the mic on my phone could be routed to my earbuds, but I suspect this may be an Apple issue. Don’t forget the spectrum analyzer, which shows many frequencies and harmonics at once. This helped the most in loud areas, or with troublesome drums.

We need optional language options
This is a straightforward setting function. Even users capable of reading English would benefit from this feature, as it offers greater convenience for drummers globally.
Response from developer
Hi there, we are planning to add more translations into the app in the future. At present in-app translations are only for English and Spanish. However, most of the screens have very little text, other than the frequency readings for the drum measurement. In addition, you can already access the full drum tuning course online in any language using Google Chrome, and Youtube will put subtitles in any language too for the videos. Check out the online version of the course at www.learndrumtuning.com and try using Google Chrome to display the pages in any language you want. You can email us at support@idrumtune.com if you need help with this.

Great update
Great to see an update on this app that is super useful! Tuning is easier. Good work!
Response from developer
Thanks for posting a review, we really appreciate it and we’re glad you’re enjoying the new update. Happy tuning to you!
App is bad, science is good
This app really is not for drummers. The interface was designed by a PhD to teach theory—not to actually tune a real world drum kit. Even when you create your own drum kit the interface doesn’t really provide anything more than just a list of your drums and what’s listed doesn’t even interface with the actual tuning mechanisms, and doesn’t even consider tuning a top and bottom head differently. You can use the tools to tune each drum head top and bottom differently but this app doesn’t assist you— it just gives you access to the tools and you would have to decide how to do that.
Everything about the app is just awkward. I just wish the owner would’ve teamed up with some drummers that had a lot of experience developing interfaces for applications.
This app should have two buttons when it starts Standard Mode and Advanced Mode. Standard mode you would create your drum kit and all of the tunings would then be activated from each drum on your kit. From there the app should make some recommendations based on your style of music. Then you would click on one drum at a time and it would walk you through the tuning process using the different tools, starting with the top or the bottom head.
Bottom line, the science is there, the app is not.

需要中文！
软件非常好用，但是没有中文，根本看不懂使用说明和功能，只能在网上搜索相关的中文翻译使用的方法，强烈建议开发商加上中文！求求了！

Awesome app
I love this app. I also highly recommend the app developers book - drum sound and drum tuning by Rob Toulson. This tool and book long overdue.
Don’t buy this
Not intuitive at all. Not even a trial. Waste of money.
No use for congas
Great tuner. I was struggling to tune my congas for first couple of hours before I realised my hand’s proximity to the mic on my iPhone was affecting the reading. Hold with phone’s mic unobstructed and near lug and it works great 😊
Nope
Not worth it.
Inaccurate readings and tedious UI
This app is not very easy to use. To reset the lug tuning function you have to exit back to the menu and go back in, which would be fine and good if it didn’t misread constantly. It was consistently giving me readings hundreds of cents above the actual pitch.
Just watch the YouTube videos
I don’t know what other users were expecting going in blind to the app. Watch a couple of the YouTube videos and decide if this app will work for you. Takes about 30 mins watching the vids on tuning the snares, reso, and some of the apps features. The app works and is packed with a lot of very useful and well researched information. A lot of bad faith reviews or people who were expecting the app to actually tune their drums for them.
I feel way more confident tuning my snare and know it sounds way better now. 10/10

Drum Tuner
I don’t leave alot of reviews but I felt compelled to leave one here. This tuner is legit. A lot of people are leaving bad reviews because they don’t know what they are doing or they are not reading instructions. The first time I used this app it took me hours. You have to have consistent hits and you have to hit in the same spot. Once you realize this, it works very well. The developers have put alot of tutorials and instructions in this app. If you purchase this app and try to use it without reading, then you’re going to think it doesn’t work. The app is worth more than what it costs. Thanks

I was really hopeful but the app doesn’t seem to work
I have tried multiple times to use the app but, the user interface is not intuitive and the frequency readings and tuning features don’t work.
The best
Very well done app. Makes drum tuning easy
Not bad
Not a bad app but the lug tuning picks up the sound of the previous lug note and adds it to the next one.
Inconsistent
This is ok but not great. I usually tune by ear and then use this to fine tune the lugs. Even then it’s very hit or miss. Even without adjusting any of the tension rods you can go around them several times and get completely different results. In short I would not rely on this. As a test I used lug tuning and tapped the same lug 10 times. I got 10 different results! Shouldn’t be!
