Both are free to download. Violin Tuner & Learn sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Violin Tuner Basic sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Violin Tuner Basic holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Violin Tuner Basic has 461 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Violin Tuner & Learn's written reviews are positive against 21% of Violin Tuner Basic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Violin Tuner & Learn ships an update every 61 months, Violin Tuner Basic every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
