## What is LunaTuna?

A precise chromatic tuner that is easy to use! Just make the two dots overlap and you are good to go!

The tuner works in landscape and portrait, iPhone and iPad! Note that on iPad the mic is not at the bottom where the speakers are - it is at the top! Hold the mic close to the source if it is silent like an unplugged electric guitar.

As a bonus you can change the base frequency for the tuning from 440Hz to something else, if it fits your voice or instrument better. It is also a great way to drive your bandmates crazy :)

Extension Pack:
- Common instrument tunings for guitar, bass, ukulele, violin, cello, kalimba and banjo
- Create your own tunings

### 5/5 — Best

*2026-03-21, version 1.52*

My favourite tuning app ever. Has everything you need for a modest onetime fee. Perfect

### 5/5 — Best Tuner Around

*2026-03-19, version 1.52*

Best tuner! Super responsive developer as well! Will be recommending this one from now on.

### 5/5 — W app

*2026-02-16, version 1.49*

It did what it is supposed to do. Tune. Pretty good according to a teen

### 5/5 — Perfekt

*2026-02-05, version 1.48*

Sehr gute tuning app. Ohne schnick schnack oder werbung. Tut was sie soll. Benutze sie für die Gitarre seit mehreren Jahren und hatte nie Probleme.

### 5/5 — The best tuner for musicians

*2026-01-12, version 1.47*

I experiment with instruments where tuning is an issue: cello, winds, etc. This app is very pleasant to keep open while playing: it looks great, and because of the design I can keep an eye on my pitch while keeping it in the periphery of my vision. There’s enough customization to make it super useful, like dialing in the precision. Pretty, and useful.

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2025-10-24, version 1.47*

I just got a kalimba and need to tune it, but have no idea what I’m doing. This app is the only one I came across that looks like it was made by a real person with real design skills, and has normal reviews from normal people. (Just like the old days of the App Store. RIP Apple.) So far I still don’t know what I’m doing, but the app is fun to use and look at, and extremely straightforward. No ads, no bloatware. Just great design and functionality. Thank you!🌹🎵

**Developer response:** Thank you so much Alesh for the nice review and your ideas! I will keep thinking about how to make the app even more useful 💪 Greetings 👋
