## What is inTone Basic?

=========
"I really love this App... A Killer App!" (Apps4iDevices)
=========

inTone – The iPad, iPhone and iPod touch music companion for beginners as well as professional musicians with features such as real-time tone/note identification usable for instrument tuning, intonation accuracy, Circle of fifths and more. inTone can also be used to identify vocal accuracy and is an excellent companion for vocal training.

inTone presents the identified tones/notes on a companion dashboard (up to four simultaneous companions on the iPad and up to two on iPhone/iPod touch). You can easily arrange your dashboard as you wish.

You can select any of the 15 instruments (Guitar, Bass guitar (4, 5 and 6-stringed), Violin, Viola, Cello, Contra bass/Double bass, Balalaika, Banjo (4, 5 and 6-stringed), Mandolin, Ukulele and Piano) with a total of 55 different tunings/types.

inTone comes with a free of charge intuitive tuning wizard that helps you to tune your selected instrument without knowledge of tuning. It also comes with a frequency graph and a vocal/singing range finder. 

In addition to that, the in-app store contains four different companion packages (where each companion presents the played tone/note in different ways):
+ Fingerboard/fretboard package with a fingerboard presenter, a fingerboard scale trainer showing any of the 12 major and 12 minor keys (plus the harmonic and melodic minor scale variants) and a fingerboard interval trainer.
+ Note sheet package with a note accuracy presentation of identified note on the note sheet, a presentation of a flowing note sheet of the notes played during the last 10 seconds as well as a note sheet scale trainer. 
+ Tuning package with a more detailed frequency and accuracy presenter as well as the traditional tuning meter.
+ Circle of fifths and intervals where the last two identified notes are presented in the circle of fifths as well as in the note sheet (with interval size in cents).

More information about the free and in-app store companions can be found on http://intoneapp.se/

inTone is currently available in three languages (English, German and Swedish). 

We hope that you will enjoy inTone.

### 1/5 — My grandma died

*2023-06-04*

She died after looking how trash this app was (a joke)

### 5/5 — Works great

*2022-09-23, version 1.3.1*

I tune all my instrument with it : Fiddle, viola, cello, guitare, banjo, mandoline, uke. Never had problem, just using the first screen one
For over 10 years I think

### 5/5 — Отличная прога

*2021-10-18, version 1.3.1*

Настраиваю пианино с 2013 года. Очень точно получается

### 4/5 — A nice tool

*2020-03-04*

This is a sophisticated app.  It can do a lot of things to help a serious musician. It does take some time to figure out what it can do, and I am always finding more things. You do have to upgrade the app to avoid a flood of interfering ads. Overall a great tool. I have not found one that is close to being as good.

### 1/5 — Garbage.

*2020-01-09*

From what it seems you have to buy different functions. Without a purchase you cannot use this app for anything other then watching a simulation of what it’d be like if you had made a purchase. It’s a terrible way to make money and I genuinely hope you go out of business

### 5/5 — Funktioniert wunderbar!

*2019-11-01*

Ich komme super mit der App klar, stimme damit Streichinstrumente. Diese App hat - wenn man die falschen Ansichten, vielleicht aus Versehen, geöffnet hat, manche wunderlichen Bilder; durch Streichen über den Bildschirm gelangt man aber leicht zu den gewünschten Ansichten.

### 5/5 — Very useful and friendly App

*2019-05-25*

I’m not an experienced piano tuner, but I found this App very useful. Other more complete Apps are too cumbersome to read. This is very good!

### 1/5 — This Is a Fake App

*2018-12-04*

This app is a hoax. Apple you need to get rid of this. It randomly jumps around and has absolutely no purpose.

### 1/5 — Grauslich

*2017-09-26*

So was habe ich tatsächlich noch nicht gesehen: tanzende Symbole, chaotische Zeichen, die nach nicht erkennbaren Regeln auf dem Screen umherhüpfen ... So sollte eine Software nicht aussehen, ist nicht zu gebrauchen.

### 1/5 — It's annoying

*2017-09-12*

No get it
