## What is Pano Tuner?

Pano Tuner listens, finds your pitch, and shows you exactly how far you are — sharp or flat — clearly enough to trust. Simple to open, accurate enough to rely on, and a favorite of players and teachers for years.

One precision engine, almost any instrument. From the lowest bass string to the top of a piccolo or harp, Pano Tuner tracks the note the instant you play — and shows both the note and its exact frequency, in hertz and cents.

MADE FOR REAL MUSICIANS
• Fast, sensitive, accurate — reacts immediately and holds steady.
• Tune almost anything — guitar, bass, ukulele, violin, viola, cello, harp, brass, woodwinds, voice, and folk & world instruments.
• Match your ensemble — set concert-A (e.g. A=442) to your group or a historical pitch.
• Read notes your way — A B C, Do Re Mi, fixed-Do, German H, and more.
• A clear, readable meter and a clean, distraction-free design.

BEYOND EQUAL TEMPERAMENT
Most tuners know only one tuning. Pano Tuner includes nine historical and microtonal temperaments — Equal, Pythagorean, Just, quarter-/third-/sixth-comma meantone, Kirnberger III, Vallotti, and Werckmeister III — and lets you create and save your own. Made for harpsichord, organ, early music, and anyone tuning beyond the modern standard.

ALSO
• Play a clean reference tone for any note.
• Adjustable tolerance, so "in tune" means what you need it to mean.

No ads. Every feature unlocked.

### 4/5 — Love the tuner, needs an update

*2026-08-15, version 2.2.22*

Great, accurate tuner, always available on my phone. Used the free version for years, finally bought the paid version to lose the ads and help support the developer. However, since upgrading to OS 26.6, I can use the tuner once, and when I try to open to use it again, the app is frozen. If I restart my phone I can again use it once. Real pain when playing a gig with a 12-string that needs constant tuning. Please update to fix the freeze issue!

### 5/5 — Lyon & Healy Harp😍

*2026-08-09, version 2.2.22*

Tried Petersen and many other tuners, and the Pano was absolutely well above others! Every string on my Harp was recognized (unlike Petersen and others). Love the frequency graph. It is so easy to tune, highly recommended. Just get the full version. It is the best deal anywhere. This app works as promised, and absolutely love it!!

### 4/5 — This app is amazing! However…

*2026-08-03, version 2.2.22*

For some reason, the new feature of audiograph was here on my iPad for the first week that it came out. Now I won’t come back. I’m really confused, and I miss it. Please fix this bug!. I’m using the iPad Air M2.

### 4/5 — Good for the most part

*2026-08-03, version 2.2.22*

Decent tuner app but doesn’t register low notes very well. This is new since the last update, it used to be fine. I am using the paid version now because the free one was feeding me real porn instead of ads

### 5/5 — Skyhawk53

*2026-07-30, version 2.2.22*

I consider the Pano Tuner App one of the best tools in my studio. I use it to easily find the key that a piece is being played in. As well as the normal use it has to tune an instrument.

### 5/5 — Best of best

*2026-07-29, version 2.2.22*

The best of all. Thank you for your hard work!

### 5/5 — Love it but…

*2026-07-28, version 2.2.22*

It’s begun locking up on me and I don’t know why it’ll work fine and then I’ll boot the thing back up again and it locks up

### 5/5 — Just stop and use this

*2026-07-25, version 2.2.22*

I tune my acoustic guitar through the mic on my phone…this tuner is more accurate and easy to use than anything I’ve ever tried. It’s a no brainer, this wins.

### 5/5 — Better than them all

*2026-07-23, version 2.2.22*

I have so many tuners. Tried so many tuners. I don’t know why I keep coming back to this one. It’s just right.

### 3/5 — Update

*2026-07-22, version 2.2.22*

It was just fine until the new update, now I have to play the note 8 times for it to pick up the right pitch and forget about fine tuning

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.2.22 — 2026-07-19

A quick follow-up to last week's update: tuning the lowest piano keys is precise and responsive again — the new note-tracking logic could briefly misread deep bass strings as they faded. Thanks for the sharp reports, and thanks for tuning with us!

### 2.2.21 — 2026-07-16

Fixed the display staying locked on the previous note after tuning two strings together — bowed instruments like the violin now follow string changes correctly. Thanks to the player who wrote in with the exact recipe, and thanks for tuning with us!

### 2.2.18 — 2026-07-11

Softly played notes now register instantly — a gentle bow stroke or a quiet piano note switches the dial right away instead of holding the previous note. Thanks for tuning with us!

### 2.2.16 — 2026-07-08

The needle now jumps straight to a new note instead of sweeping to it, so playing note after note keeps up with you. Thanks for tuning with us!

### 2.2.14 — 2026-07-07

Now speaking five more languages — Hebrew, Traditional Chinese, Ukrainian, Bengali, and Greek. We also gave the flat symbol a bigger, clearer look, kept the octave numbers steady while you tune, and made listening more reliable with a smoother dial — especially on older phones. Thanks for tuning with us!
