When I turn dark mode off I can see the temperament list. Otherwise it is blank and kind of like a game of pin the tail on the donkey. **Developer response:** I'm sorry I didn't get your email. It should have worked really well on your device. Please try out version 3.0 that's available to you as a free update. If you still have trouble with it, reach out to me at niklas@saers.com ### 2/5 — Needs an update !! *2023-11-24* Needs an update! Doesn’t talk to the mic on Iphone xs os12.1 ! Love the temperament selections. A small tweak would fix all this. Emailed the admin with no response! **Developer response:** I'm sorry I didn't get your email. It should have worked really well on your device. Please try out version 3.0 that's available to you as a free update. If you still have trouble with it, reach out to me at niklas@saers.com ### 2/5 — No longer functional *2022-12-29* This was a nice and very useful app, but has died of bit rot and is apparently no longer supported. Developer, please consider open sourcing if you are not able to maintain it? It’s a nice piece of work and deserves better. **Developer response:** Thank you for your appreciation. I'm happy to tell you Well Tempered has been updated to 3.0 and should work very well. ### 2/5 — Needs an update !! *2018-12-18, version 2.1* Needs an update! Doesn’t talk to the mic on Iphone xs os12.1 ! Love the temperament selections. A small tweak would fix all this. Emailed the admin with no response! **Developer response:** I'm sorry I didn't get your email. It should have worked really well on your device.

I'm a viola da gamba player and having access to temperament tunings and A-415 is great. The corresponding stand alone tuner with temperaments costs about $200. It also comes highly recommended by some noteworthy professional gamba players. Like one of them says "tune by EAR not by EYE." However, two caveats. The volume is a little soft for real use. Having some amplification is necessary to make it loud enough to tune. This is fixable with a separate amplifier/speakers. Worse though is that this software which worked just fine under OS Version 3 doesn't produce sound on my iTouch under Version 4. It would be nice if it were upgraded because it's basically non-functional in its current state. Too bad - it was a nice app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Feedback issues *2023-11-03, version 2.1* Tuner appears to feedback with my phone and iPad microphone producing a high pitch piercing feedback sound and does not register the pitch of my instrument ### 1/5 — Does not work *2023-09-29* App does not work. **Developer response:** Please try out the new version 3.0, it should work very well also on newer iOS versions ### 1/5 — Have been using for years, now has bad feedback problem *2022-12-16* I loved this app for tuning my harpsichord, but it is now broken by some sort of feedback issue with the microphone. I would pay money for this if it were fixed. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, the new version solves this issue, and you should be getting the upgrade for free through the App Store ### 1/5 — Not for iPhone or iPad *2020-07-14, version 2.1* This isn’t able to aces the microphone on my iPhone or iPad -shame as the idea is great ### 1/5 — Not for iPad Pro? *2019-07-02, version 2.1* This looks great on the surface,lots of temperamental choice,only thing is the app doesn’t access the microphone on the iPad Pro;at least I think that’s what’s going on,can’t be sure and after 2 weeks of emailing developer there’s no response so who knows? Anyway fact is it doesnt work except as a pitch pipe,shame.[please let me know if I’m wrong....] ### 1/5 — Does not work *2019-04-30, version 2.1* This app does not work. The tuner is completely nonfunctional on iPhone. No updates are available and the developer website is not available. Total waste of money. **Developer response:** I'm sorry for not getting back to the comments earlier. At the time you wrote this, it should have been working great. Please check out version 3.0 that you should be a free update for you. If it still doesn't work, do reach out to me at niklas@saers.com ### 1/5 — Non funziona su iPad Pro 2018 *2019-04-12, version 2.1* Non rileva i suoni... ### 1/5 — Was great... *2018-10-31* This app worked great for me until updating to 12.1. Now, the tuner does not work. Only the pitch pipe works. I tried restarting my phone, and even reinstalling the app. Before this update, I loved how this app made tuning the harpsichord such a breeze. Setting temperaments makes the music come to life! Please update ASAP. **Developer response:** I'm sorry you had this problem, and sorry for not getting back to you earlier. I hope it's worked well in the meantime. I'm happy to announce version 3.0 that is a free upgrade for you. If you're still having issues with it, do get in touch with me at niklas@saers.com so we can solve it together ### 1/5 — Non sembra funzionare l'accordatore *2016-02-16, version 2.1* Non sembra funzionare l'accordatore, rileva il suono ma non segnala se ė ben accordato. Oppure il funzionamento è non immediato e oscuro, ma non ci sono help di aiuto. Ha molti temperamenti antichi ma pare inutilizzabile. Eppure non è certo gratuita! ### 1/5 — Terrible! What a rip-off! *2014-04-27* This is a joke! It does not give you the difference between sharps and flats in the scales, for the comparison purposes, and the tone quality is cheap and distorted. Actually, the entire design of this application is cheap and overly simplistic. When dealing with different temperaments, you must consider all flats, sharps, double-flats, and double-sharps within each system scale, even for comparison purposes. I don't understand why on earth there is not a single professional music app in the world! Are we becoming culture-less in today's society? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lots of tuning options *2023-12-28* This app allows one to tune very precisely! Unfortunately in the newest update the list of temperaments does not show up when your iPhone is in dark screen mode (just a white screen until you guess at one and then it is entered). But it works just fine if one is not in dark screen mode! Must be a font/color issue **Developer response:** I'm sorry for not getting back to the comments earlier. At the time you wrote this, it should have been working great. Please check out version 3.0 that you should be a free update for you. If it still doesn't work, do reach out to me at niklas@saers.com ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2018-11-06, version 2.1* Easy to use tuner allowing one to concentrate on accurate tuning. ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2018-10-18* As someone who tunes professionally for a living, this app is a godsend for harpsichords and clavichord Tuning. Generally I tune by fork and I can do many historic temperaments that way, but with the pitch pipe on this; it is a whole new level with so many more options. Love this app! And let me just also note: the interface is so easy to use. Perfection all the way around. ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2011-05-17, version 1.3* What an excellent app, my house organ is on a different temperament each week! ### 5/5 — Clavichord Tuning Heaven *2009-04-03* This app is a joy for anyone who owns a clavichord and wants to enrich their tuning with an app that simplies the whole process. You can't loose buying this app. The creater is a genius! ### 5/5 — Well Executed *2009-02-23* The developer fixed the previous problem with meantone, and added a few new features as well. This app is based on a great concept, and just gets better and better. A must-have for anyone who owns an instrument at home and wants to experience the joys of historical temperaments. ### 4/5 — Great app with some caveats *2025-09-16* I love it, gets the job done for my harpsichord and its so affordable and easier than the highly technical tuning apps. Only problem is if I try to search for different tuning systems it draws a blank suggestion box. if I click on the blank suggestion box it will change the tuning system, but I cant see what it has changed to till I click on it, and cannot get it back to the previous setting. I’m guessing this is due to my old iPhone 8+, but just thought I’d drop a line about it. ### 4/5 — Works amazingly! *2025-05-13, version 3.0* Everything on this app is very good, and it’s great to support a musician who made a great app. My only issue is that my phone is predominantly on dark mode, and when dark mode is on the list of temperaments disappears. This is my only problem. ### 4/5 — Buon accordatore *2017-03-14, version 2.1* L'applicazione funziona bene e sembra rilevare con precisione L'altezza delle note. Molto ricca la lista dei temperamenti con anche tre temperamenti per il pianoforte. Purtroppo per utilizzarla bisogna disattivare nelle impostazioni dell'IPhone il blocco automatico dello schermo per evitare di dover sbloccare in continuazione il telefono mentre si accorda. ### 4/5 — funzionale e interessante, manca supporto per microfono *2010-05-12, version 0* L'intonatore funziona bene, i riferimenti storici ai temperamenti sono utili, le opzioni sono immediate. Peccato manchi la possibilità di usare un microfono, per strumenti gravi in certi ambienti di lavoro è improponibile l'accordatura con suono. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
