### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-11-18*

The developer has added so many new options and features! Love the new interface — efficient and easy-to-use — and now it even has its own strobe-like listening. The temperament interface is by far the best one around, including the ability to actually tune all the chromatic notes in a meantone temperament!

### 1/5 — Crashes in iOS 9

*2015-09-20*

After I updated to iOS 9 on an iPhone 6, this app fails to open.  It hangs and crashes.

**Developer response:** After many years, I finally got around to updating the app. Please give the newest version a try! It's been completely rewritten and expanded.

### 5/5 — Great with VoiceOver

*2012-09-23*

Title says it all.

### 5/5 — Wonderful Tuning App

*2012-09-23*

This app is easy to use and extremely accessible with the Voiceover screen-reader. It's great for tuning by ear, which is what I do, and I'm glad I won't have to carry around a brace of tuning forks anymore. :)

### 5/5 — ipegs

*2010-04-02*

I just downloaded ipegs and tried it
with my archlute. First pression;  I love it!  This is what I've been waiting for. Congratulations.

### 2/5 — Willbill

*2009-10-22*

Needs improovements, the idea is good but some of the notes aren't right

### 5/5 — This is very good

*2009-10-10*

I have wasted time with other tuner apps--like the one that has to "go online" to generate an A tone.  This one does what I want it to do.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2009-08-03*

This app is a godsend. It literally allows one to tune every possible innstrument that's tuneable. I would definitely pay for an app this good. I'll never need another tuner again!

### 5/5 — Great app, great price-- save $100+ compared with Korg

*2009-06-10*

This is a great app. Very useful and accurate. User-friendly, intuitive, and adjustable. It is a must for anyone interested in baroque and Renaissance music-- and anyone interested in the expressive possibilities of non-equal temperament. It is good for keyboards, lutes, viols, harps, and modern instruments. No sloppy tuning meters It is my favorite of the 3 historical temp/ tuning apps by far... And you can't beat the price. Thanks! I look forward to more historical temps...Great app!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.2.1 — 2026-05-14

Fixed a bug where you couldn't select octaves or reference pitches using the defaults on iPad (hat tip to Dan for reporting this).

### 4.2 — 2026-03-09

As usual with new releases, this one fixes some bugs. New in this version:

- You can now mark temperaments as favorites, and you can filter the list by them.
- The previous version had 4 presets for A4 (392, 415, 440, 465). Now, you can change those or add your own! (hat tip to Jeroen).
- The actions you can take on a temperament are now also available if you long-press on a temperament in the list.
- A4 could be set to any value between 380 and 470 Hz. I widened it to 350-500 Hz (you can thank Dan for that one).
- I removed the "colored fill" option for the tuner. It's not working the way I want to, and I need a little more time to think about how to improve it.

### 4.1 — 2025-11-17

iPegs has been rewritten from the ground up, expanded, revised, and improved. New features include a standard tuner, more temperaments, and the ability to add your own temperaments.

### 1.1 — 2009-07-03

- Improved sound: the sound is louder overall, and lower notes are much easier to hear.

- Corrected spelling of Bradley Lehman's name in the temperaments list.

- Distinguished between Young's first and second temperaments.

### 1.0 — 2009-06-08

No release notes.
