It would be nice if there was another way to get tunes into it but sorry! ### 5/5 — Best app for trad music lovers *2018-09-04* This app is indispensable for anyone playing Irish trad music. When you think of the time and effort saved in finding tunes, and in identifying tunes on the fly, it is worth far more than the cost. ### 3/5 — Favorite app but... *2017-12-30* This is one of my favorite apps, but I’m unhappy about having to buy the IOS 11 upgrade when I’ve already bought the app. ### 5/5 — I've Used It With Success *2017-08-16* I've read the negative reviews and I,'m not sure what's going on. I've used this APP on both my iPhone 6 & 7 as well as my iPad 3 with good success. I've used it at several pub sessions in Ireland to check a tune and find the title and it's worked every time, so my experience has only been positive. I agree that the developer should update it. It's been quite a long time since it has been. ### 1/5 — Crashes every time I open it *2016-12-10* Doesn't work on iPad Air 2. Come on man, fix it. You're stealing our money. ### 1/5 — TunePal does not open!! *2015-11-10* Purchased this app after checking to be sure it is compatible with my operating system and it will not open at all. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Buggy UI *2014-10-10* Since this is one of those apps that charges you again to get an iPad version, I expect the IPad version to WORK on the iPad! For example, his one does NOT properly track the orientation, especially when locked in landscape mode - probably the most common usage scenario for music apps on the iPad... This is really annoying - I find that I'd much rather use the "standard" version on my iPad than the version I paid an extra $10 for. Come on folks! Do a little testing and fix this so it's worth the price! I'd suggest waiting until they do to buy it. ### 5/5 — It works for me *2013-12-06* I have used the iPhone version for some time. I wanted the iPad version so I could see the sheet music better. I use it for finding tunes. If I like a particular tune I "record" it and pull up the actual tune along with a bunch of similar tunes. For me it's a treasure trove of new (to me) and wonderful music to play. ## Frequently asked questions about Tunepal HD ### What traditional music genres does Tunepal HD support?
