From trombone to voice, this app allows you as much or as little control over ever aspect of tuning and tempo you can imagine. Highly recommend for anyone in band classes and beyond. ### 5/5 — Literally my favorite app as a musician. *2026-07-20, version 2.4.3* The best $5 I ever spent. I use this app basically every day during the band season and even for vocal training. ### 4/5 — App Incroyable *2026-07-20* Je suis Musicien depuis plus de 20 ans, j’utilise cette application depuis qu’elle est sortie, elle est tout simplement incroyable, je ne peux pas m’en passer. Bravo au développeur. ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2026-07-19, version 2.4.3* Fantastic app with tons of great features. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-07-18* Santo Graal ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-17, version 2.4.3* W ### 5/5 — TE Review *2026-07-12* Great app. Powerfull and simple to use ### 4/5 — Alex *2026-07-09, version 2.4.3* I like how it’s so convenient to get around on and it has all the apps but Maybe a little cheaper pls ### 5/5 — Te tuner *2026-07-06, version 2.4.3* I use te tuner a lot and what I like about it is that it has the right beat for what I play on the piano ### 5/5 — Tuning *2026-07-02, version 2.4.3* I genuinely only use this to tune bass it works really well 5 stars ### 5/5 — 为什么不能录像 *2026-06-20* 用过所有电子 app 节拍器里最好用的，但是不知道是什么录像功能用不了 ### 3/5 — Left side of the pitch wheel isn’t working!!! *2026-06-13, version 2.4.3* This app is cool and it rlly helps me but lately the left side of my pitch wheel hasn’t been working. Maybe it’s just me but it’s lowk annoying when I’m trying to find certain intervals and I can’t because my pitch wheel doesn’t wanna cooperate. It’s usually everything from B natural to F# ### 5/5 — :) *2026-06-06, version 2.4.3* :) ### 5/5 — Tonal Energy Tuner (TE Tuner) Review *2026-06-05, version 2.4.3* I really liked this app, I definitely recommend it! It’s super useful, and it’s very accurate, (though it didn’t always tell me what I wanted to hear!!) I think if you are looking for an easy tuning app, this is the one. It is definitely worth getting, and it’s also really useful to track your practice times! I love this app, and I would say please get this if you like it, it’s just too good! ### 5/5 — Best tuner AND best metronome *2026-06-01, version 2.4.3* I’m a pro musician and teacher, bought TE a decade ago and to this day I’ve never found a better app for either of these functions. Don’t mess around with any of these free* apps, buy this once and never think about it again. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-05-31, version 2.4.3* Even as a percussionists the app is still great ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unintuitive as a guitar tuner *2026-05-27, version 2.4.3* I’ve used more intuitive guitar tuning apps, but those demand a subscription fee. Since the reviews were stellar, I naturally thought this app would provide what those apps do, but it doesn’t. It might be a useful guitar tuning app for intermediate players, but for beginners and people learning guitar intuitively, it’s unnecessarily complex and lacks the intuitive approach of the subscription-based tuning apps. ### 1/5 — Nem todo usuário é criança *2026-04-17* Agora é impossível desabilitar o rastreamento de atividades e de desabilitar a apresentação dos dias estudados do topo da tela. Eu não sou uma criança que precisa ser pressionada para estudar. Essa pressão de estudar dias seguidos acaba senso bem desmotivador e chato. ### 1/5 — Clunky *2026-02-22, version 2.4.2* I’m so mad I bought this app. It’s like an arcade game. The interface is clunky and filled with too many things. I’m trying to tune my cello, not land an airplane. ### 1/5 — App is broken after update *2026-02-11, version 2.4.0* Please fix as soon as possible. Reinstalling the app doesn't work. Just immediately crashes when I try to open it. iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18.7.2 ### 1/5 — Hate the new opening screen *2026-02-11, version 2.4.0* Take the emojis away it looks so cheesy ### 1/5 — Not accessible for blind users *2026-01-06, version 2.3.11* How I wish I could use this app like sided musicians can. It’s a shame that it’s not set up better for blind musicians. It looks very powerful. ### 1/5 — Too confusing *2025-12-02, version 2.3.11* I don’t understand why can’t just start playing and the understand what instrument I need to tune, a pitch. Having to calibrate “temperment” then also how it’s suppose to transpose??? It never works properly. I’m wasting far too much time calibrating the tuner when I should be practicing. ### 1/5 — Great when it works *2025-11-17, version 2.3.11* Tuning quits working. I deleted and reloaded before. Hope that works again today. ### 1/5 — Overrides other apps *2025-11-06, version 2.3.11* I've used this tuner for years with no issues until recently. Now if I try to play a sound file this tuner takes over from the iPhone's audio player. To add insult to injury the tuner is unable to play the files. I had to delete it before I could play sound files again. It was a great tuner. Now that it's also trying to be a sound file player and failing, it's destructive junk. ### 1/5 — Software gore ruining and otherwise great app *2025-10-21, version 2.3.11* The app works great for its intended purpose, but it completely breaks my files app for some reason. Any file I tap on immediately opens total energy. I don’t know why so I have to delete it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best *2026-08-30, version 2.4.5* The best tuner app in my opinion, congratulations 🫶🫶❤️❤️🎷🎷🙌🏻🙌🏻🎷🎷🎷🎷🎼🎼🎼🎼 ### 5/5 — Inflation *2026-08-25, version 2.4.3* Inflation is crazy ### 5/5 — The Swiss Army Knife For Any Musician *2026-08-22, version 2.4.3* This is not just a tuner and metronome. It’s a tone generator. It’s a field recorder. It has a spectrum analyzer. It has a half-dozen visualizations for tuning. Absolutely the best tool on the iPhone I’ve ever used as a musician. Totally worth it - the features are all useful. ### 5/5 — Wish I had discovered sooner *2026-08-21, version 2.4.3* Everything I need. Tone, brilliant metronome with lots of rhythms, different instruments. ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2026-08-20* The best app for study and honing your practice. It’s transformative. ### 5/5 — I like cats *2026-08-12, version 2.4.3* Cats are awesome ### 5/5 — Delaney *2026-08-11, version 2.4.3* I love I love Turner whe I love the tuner it’s it’s Metronome and I love the little picture. It has to go with it when you’re doing the Metronome it’s really fun so sometimes I use it sometimes I don’t most of the time I don’t, but sometimes I do so that’s how I really like the tune. ### 5/5 — 感想 *2026-08-05* 非常に使いやすく満足しています ### 5/5 — 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 *2026-08-04, version 2.4.3* Great tuner for everyone it’s fun and you get good progress out of it! I love it Recommend for everyone since ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-30, version 2.4.3* I think this app is great because you can record yourself use the tuner and use metronome which has cool featured and learn so much music and one day maybe your tuning will be good all because of this app .
