A precise chromatic tuner that is easy to use! Just make the two dots overlap and you are good to go! The tuner works in landscape and portrait, iPhone and iPad! Note that on iPad the mic is not at the bottom where the speakers are - it is at the top! Hold the mic close to the source if it is silent like an unplugged electric guitar. As a bonus you can change the base frequency for the tuning from 440Hz to something else, if it fits your voice or instrument better. It is also a great way to drive your bandmates crazy :) Extension Pack: - Common instrument tunings for guitar, bass, ukulele, violin, cello, kalimba and banjo - Create your own tunings - Transpose functionality - In-Tune Precision setting, vibration feedback and center locking - 16 Additional color ways and dark mode support - Different temperaments
