Steelpan App Pro V2 is the world’s most advanced steelpan learning, performance, and tuning tool. Designed for steelpan players, educators, and builders, it combines a powerful concert-pitch tuner, interactive learning tools, and patented steelpan technology to help you play, teach, and evaluate steelpans like a professional. This app features patented technology and builds on the legacy of the world’s first electronic synthesized steelpan. NEW: PROFESSIONAL STEELPAN TUNER (A = 440 Hz) Steelpan App Pro V2 now includes a built-in acoustic tuner operating at concert pitch A = 440 Hz. This tuner is designed for both steelpan makers and steelpan players: •Steelpan players can test whether their acoustic instrument is in tune or needs professional tuning. •Master Steelpan tuners and builders can analyze the harmonic structure of each note during tuning. Eight Partial Analysis A key feature of this tuner is its ability to evaluate up to eight partials of a steelpan note. •The tuner indicates when the environment of the note allows all eight partials to be present, confirming proper harmonic balance. •It helps the steelpan maker determine whether the note is correctly tuned across its partials. •It helps the player determine whether: *The air partials are present and stable, or *The fundamental frequency needs further tuning. The tuner clearly identifies: •The note name •Whether the note is sharp or flat •How far the note is from pitch before reaching the next semitone. This makes Steelpan App Pro V2 not just a tuner, but a diagnostic tool for steelpan craftsmanship and performance quality. VARIED INSTRUMENTS Steelpan App Pro V2 includes features derived from the E-Pan, the world’s first electronic synthesized steelpan. Play and learn on a full range of steelpan instruments, including: •Tenor (soprano voice) •Double Tenor (alto voice) •Double Seconds (alto voice) •Double Guitar (tenor voice) •Triple Cello (tenor voice) •4-Pan Cello (tenor voice) •Tenor Bass (baritone voice) •Six Bass & Seven Bass (bass voice) Steelpan App Pro V2 is not only an instrument it is a complete teaching and learning system.

I hope to find an app that meets my needs and helps me develop my skills further. ### 1/5 — Money??? *2026-05-09* Looks free to download until you install it, dissatisfied ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-03-04* This app is really fun and easy to use. It feels like I’m playing a real steel pan. The layout is simple and it’s perfect for beginners. ### 5/5 — This APP is PERFECT!!! ❤️❤️💯 *2026-02-23* You know the APP is good when people rating it 1-STAR because they have to pay for it. I could not find a good Steelpan APP until now and happy to subscribe which means they will keep updating it. ### 5/5 — Great Great App *2026-02-10* I will like to start of by saying how appreciative I am that you decided to update the app and not give up on it. What most people don’t understand is that Apple updates their iOS sometimes twice a year and you have to spend money redeveloping to meet their specifications so that we the users can enjoy this awesome practice tool. This is brilliant that you moved to a subscription model so it will help cover the cost of you updating repeatedly. Some people just like free stuff and will not spend a dime to help the world spin on its axis. Keep developing and I really love the NEW tuner page. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-02-04* This app helps me learn and has all the pans! ### 5/5 — Great Practice Tool *2026-01-17* Great app to start learning how to play the steelpan. Also an excellent app to use for practice wherever you are: on a train, on a plane or on the beach! You don’t need to have the actual acoustic Steelpan with you to practice. ### 3/5 — Great App. Concerning Update. *2026-01-05* I used the app a lot since its the only one that has the option of a 4 cello. I think we should be able to move around the notes more since not everyone’s pan is the same but nevertheless it was helpful. It was always a paid app. I bought the 1st version. Now it is no longer available for use unless you subscribe to or purchase v2. The restore purchase function is not working. Will i be refunded? Its been about 3 weeks since v2 came out and still no hope. Hoping someone can assist with this. **Developer response:** Thank you for you comment. I understand your concern, and I’m happy to clarify what happened with your previous Steelpan PRO license. The Steelpan PRO app has now moved to a subscription based model (monthly, yearly, or lifetime). This change became necessary because Apple continues to introduce new iOS versions and hardware updates. Older app frameworks eventually stop functioning on these new platforms, and developers must continuously rebuild and upgrade apps so they remain compatible. In order to keep Steelpan PRO working on Apple’s latest iOS, we had to redevelop and update the app. Along with Apple’s annual developer fees, these continuous upgrades require significant investment. Without updating, Apple would remove the old app from the App Store entirely meaning that once a user updates their device or its iOS, the app would no longer work. For example, the older version still works on my personal iPad only because I have not updated that device or its operating system. If a customer chooses not to update their device, the older version will continue to function as long as that device remains unchanged. However, in order to ensure you and the wider steelpan community can continue enjoying a functional, up-to-date app, we decided to redevelop Steelpan PRO v2 with ongoing support and improvements. Moving to a subscription model is what allows us to maintain, upgrade, and future proof the app every time Apple releases a new iOS version. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this transition may have caused. The alternative would have been to stop updating the app altogether, which would eventually result in it disappearing from the store and no longer working on updated devices. Steelpan PRO can only continue to grow and stay viable with the support of our steelpan community, and we truly appreciate your understanding. If you have any other questions or need help choosing the subscription option that works best for you, I’m here to help. Thank you, Developer. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-12-26* Paid for this app back in 2023. Opened it recently and see that I have to pay a subscription fee to use it?? This is beyond greedy. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. I completely understand why this feels frustrating, especially if you purchased the original version in 2023 and expected lifetime access. Steelpan PRO has since been completely redeveloped as Version 2 and moved to a subscription model (monthly, yearly, or lifetime). This transition became necessary because Apple continuously updates iOS and hardware, and older app frameworks eventually stop functioning on newer systems. To ensure the app remains compatible, stable, and available in the App Store, we had to rebuild it using Apple’s current development standards. Ongoing compatibility updates, Apple’s annual developer fees, server costs, and continued improvements require sustained investment. Moving to a subscription model is now a standard practice across the app industry, as it allows developers to maintain, update, and future-proof apps rather than allowing them to become obsolete and eventually removed. The previous version will continue to function on devices that have not updated beyond the iOS it was built for. However, once a device updates to newer iOS versions, older unsupported frameworks may no longer operate properly. This is outside of a developer’s control and is part of Apple’s evolving ecosystem. That said, I truly value early supporters of Steelpan PRO. If you can provide proof of your original purchase, please contact me directly and I’ll be happy to offer a complimentary promo code for access to the new version for a limited time. Steelpan PRO exists to serve the global steelpan community, and I appreciate everyone who has supported it over the years. Thank you for your understanding.
