### 3/5 — バグ修正お願いします

*2025-07-17, version 2.5*

レビューにもある通り数日前からチューニングの所を開くとノイズが酷くて使い物にならないです。
製作者さんはこれを見ていたらすぐに修正をお願いしたいですm(_ _)m
かなり使いやすかったので使用自体は星5、今は使えないのと対応がないので星1。

### 2/5 — バージョンアップ後からはノイズがでるバグがあります。他のものよりは使いやすかったのに残念

*2025-02-28, version 2.5*

バージョンアップ後、マイク入力による周期的なノイズが入ります。開発者に連絡しても、何の対応物ありません。今のところスピーカー音量をゼロにするしか対処できません。バグの修正が望まれます。
アプリとしては他の物よりは、使いやすいです。
ただし、上部の縦ゲージの+とーが逆でわかりにくいです。
調子を変更すると本数まで変化するのがやや面倒です。
画面が縦のみなので、横画面にも対応して欲しいです。
説明の日本語が少し変です。
