Read full description

The Guitar Analyzer app is a tool for analyzing and fine-tuning your acoustic or electric guitar: - A highly accurate guitar tuner with a cent scale indicator - An automatic scale tuner for all strings - A sound analyzer with multiple types of visual graphs for both the entire fretboard and individual strings - A sustain meter with sustain measurement by duration and factor - A dual custom sound oscillator for certain tasks where you need to hear the resonant frequency of an object or the beats between two specified frequencies - Conveniently select from over 50 well-known guitar brands to create your own list of guitars to explore and quickly switch between them - Choose from three string tunings (standard 6-string guitar, standard 4-string bass, and custom tuning for up to 12 strings in any key from 127 MIDI keys across the entire octave range) - Adjustable microphone sensitivity, noise threshold, and a choice between 2 types of amplitude analysis (peak and RMS) With this app, you can accurately tune your guitar, adjust the scale, and even choose the best guitar from several. By recording the sound across all frets for each string, you can use the displayed graphs to identify fret defects or nut placement, see unevenness in the sound in different places, see where the problem might be by changing the pitch shift of the frets, find the "dead note" and its position on the fretboard, as well as the resonant frequency of the instrument

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Guitar Pro at $6.99 against Guitar Analyzer's $19.99. Guitar Pro also leads on ratings volume (902 vs 1) and chart position (#17 vs unranked). Guitar Analyzer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
