Good as a phone app bad for my use cases

I purchased this app based off of good reviews here and on Reddit. From the day I purchased it I’ve been disappointed by the issues I’ve had. On my M4 IPad Pro it almost always displays the hz multiple octaves up (frequently double.) Also I cannot get my interface for my guitar to work with this app. It’s recording and sending input to the iPad but nothing is coming through to the app. I’m not sure if this is even meant to be supported but I resorted to trying it considering I could never get it to work normally. On my iPhone 15 Pro the app works almost seamlessly if I put my phone extremely close to the guitar. Any further away and it can’t hear it even on boost mode with the noise filter on. I tried turning them off and no input. It jumps octaves much less on the phone but it still does it frequently enough to be annoying. Some of this could be user error but I didn’t change any settings after downloading the app. In general the app works well enough and I’m sure the good reviews reflect good experiences. I just didn’t have a great experience myself.

Almost perfect

I really wanna use this for work on my iPad mini and country but I will say after not using it for a few minutes it freezes up and I have to restart it. Can do that mid show.

Best Tuner

This is easily the best tuner app, especially if you want hyper-accuracy. I’d give this a 6 out of 5 rating if only they’d include classical guitar in their sweetened tunings

Peterson #1

Anyone that doesn’t have a Peterson Tuner needs to look in a mirror and ask themselves what they are doing with their lives. This app does a lot and can be intimidating but the Sweetners are worth it and it takes time to understand it all. If you have questions contact Petersons Customer Service they are always willing to help and is one of the reasons why they have been in business for over 70 years. The only thing I wish they would add to the app is the ability to link my iPhone or iPad to my StroboPlus HDC with this app. My laptop died and have no way of changing out the tunings I currently have loaded on it.

The best tuner you will ever have.

Title says it all.

No good for intonation

I bought this to set intonation on a guitar. And it’s not any good for that. It just keeps turning gray like it can’t hear anything. It also has a function that when you hit a target note , or get close, it grays out and stops. You can’t turn that off either. Soo annoying. Waste of money.

AUV3 & easy access to 440 please

This tuner is most accurate on the market. A AUv3 function to using it as a plugin in Loopy Pro would be great and quick access concert pitch would be awesome.

Not good

It requires you to buy additional upgrades asking for 50 dollars more on top of the 9.99 originally paid.
I’m asking for a refund.

not the best.

I purchased this tuning app to get precise tuning, and i’ll admit it does it well, but for some reason it’s constantly stuck on “F#” and will be stuck like that unless i play a note really loud.

It doesn’t recoginse the strings

If I pick no matter which string, its strength is almost unusable for the tuner, the “string meter” shows a very weak sign. If I cough just a little, the sign is very strong, and shows immediately the “note of the cough”. What do I wrong? I have every Peterson strobe tuner at home, so I know, it should be working flawlessly…

Great App!

Very sensitive and accurate. We use it for fine tuning flutes in our workshop before they go out to customers and it works well.

Doesn’t Work

Doesn’t work on iOS 2. Everything is A#.

This is real tuning

Do it right. Completely worth the cost. Price a hardware tuner and tell me otherwise.

Don’t sleep on the sweeteners packs. James Taylor knows it. Eddie Van Halen knew it: If you want your instrument to sound right, you can’t trust straight math tuning. iStrobosoft puts it where you want it to be, every time.

Doesn’t work as intended

This has to be about the worst thing Peterson has designed- constantly flashes between notes when I’m trying to tune an acoustic guitar in a whisper quiet studio environment- i don’t know how it can’t distinguish between an E and A string. I ended up just going back to my old insTuner app that’s cheaper and works.

Where is CLA in the presets

Good tuner. Worth the price but takes a little bit to get used to navigating the various menus and understanding all the acronyms. Very precise and could definitely tell the difference with my steel string guitar. One thing is finding stuff. Online I had read that the app had a classical guitar sweetener called CLA, but I can’t seem to find it. Ended up paying for the full sweetener bundle because I couldn’t seem to find where it was and still can’t. Maybe the developers can put a search feature in the sweetener section. Also if anyone knows where this CLA is let me know. Thanks.

Great for working on intonation on horns

I spent a lot of time with a physical strobe tuner as a kid and it helped my tone and intonation on sax immensely. This app is so useful to have when working on long tones, not to mention portable.

The only iOS tuner for the serious player.

There are lots of tuner apps available, some better than others, but if you’re looking for a truly professional grade tuner app, this is the only way to go.

Solid tuner

Perfect for brass players. Picks up great and the trumpet sound doesn’t distort the app.

Really like this app!

This app is useful for me. I am a vocalist with a strong singing voice. However, when I hear a note from a pitch pipe, I can’t always hit it. I sometimes sing a note in the chord harmony instead. I might be a major or minor third off. I take this app to choir and I’m sure I’m hitting the desired note.

Happy

An excellent tuner. Always available especially when my primary Peterson Strobi HDC is out of juice.

I play electric, acoustic, slide, classical, bass & banjo.

It keeps them all in perfect tune.
