### 3/5 — It doesnt work

*2023-10-11*

What happen?? I cant even open the app? I loved it but I couldnt use it until yesterday!!!

**Developer response:** You'll have to take that up with Apple for not supporting legacy software. It is just one more way to force people to keep buying new hardware. When this app was released it worked flawlessly. I cannot afford to update this app because too few people have bought it, so I cannot afford to buy new Apple devices to develop and test with, or the yearly fees which I have paid out of my own pocket. This is out of my hands. I will be closing down my developer account with Apple by November 11 and moving on to other things. Apologies to all affected.

### 5/5 — Excellent app!!!

*2021-05-22, version 1.4.6*

I love this app! I have been playing cello for about a year and was insecure about how 'in tune' I was playing. This app has bolstered my confidence! (Especially the graph; I have never seen this in any other music app). The sight-reading and ear training games are excellent, and the app has so many options (scales, modes, even meantone tuning. I had to look that one up!) I have a Ph.D. in Educational Software Development, and I rate this A++. It looks like this is your only app; I encourage you to write more!

### 5/5 — Really like this app

*2018-11-26, version 1.4.6*

The tuner is nice but my favorite feature is the ability to confirm that I’m playing the correct note. Not sure what mode it’s called but it shows a picture of a violin neck and shows you what and where you just played a note. Very helpful for me.

### 5/5 — Very valuable tool!

*2018-08-26, version 1.4.6*

I just got my violin outfit the other day. It came with a chromatic tuner, but thanks to this app, I haven’t even bothered with it. This app is very easy to use and I especially love how when you tap one of the strings, it holds the note, so you don’t have to keep putting the violin down to tap the screen again. The very first time using this app, about 10 minutes after getting my new violin, I had it tuned in under a minute. I remember with my old violin, I used a different tuning app that was frustrating. A helpful note that the app doesn’t tell you: when tuning your violin, the first selection you see, “GDAE”, is the standard tuning for a violin.

### 5/5 — Perfect for a beginner

*2017-11-08, version 1.4.6*

I got this when I first started playing the violin 2 years ago. As I’ve grown and learned more about playing the fiddle and about music in general I’ve discover that, “oh!  This app has that on it too!’

### 3/5 — Fiddler

*2017-03-01, version 1.4.6*

I am a new student of the Violin less than a year. This app for tuning a violin is not intuitive. It's too complicated.

### 5/5 — Love this app - fix needed

*2016-09-29, version 1.4.2*

I absolutely love this app and have used it everyday for the last two years.  It helps me with tuning, understanding of notes on the fingerboard and even my intonation when playing.  The most recent upgrades including the 5-string violin feature are most welcome.

My only complaint is that the most recent upgrade makes it impossible to track intonation while playing - a feature I have used daily.  The graphical output of playing a few notes is delayed up to 5 seconds whereas the older version graphed intonation at the speed I played.  

Still, this is best violin app that I have found.  Well done!

### 5/5 — The Swiss Army Knife of Tuners

*2016-09-08, version 1.4.1*

Try it - you'll like it.  I am a novice violin player and have been using this app for a couple years now.  I does everything I need and keeps getting better.  The only thing I'd really like to see added is an AirPlay button so I can run it through my audio system speakers.

### 5/5 — My life saver

*2016-08-26, version 1.4*

It's wonderful! Thank you for upgrading the quality of sound.

### 5/5 — Love love love this app.

*2015-11-22, version 1.3.6*

The pitch graph part of this app makes it really simple to tune my violin. I can play right into the microphone and it'll show where my pitch is in relation to the perfect note making it really easy to fix
