Advanced Tuner vs TuneBench

Advanced Tuner is a free guitar tuner and chromatic tuner that also handles bass, violin, ukulele, mandolin, viola and cello. Play a string, read the needle, done: tuning to the cent, with no menus in the way. TEN TUNINGS, READY TO GO • Guitar: standard EADGBE, Eb (half step down) and D (full step down) • Bass, ukulele and mandolin • Violin, viola and cello • Chromatic mode for everything else: it finds the nearest note on its own AUTOMATIC OR STRING BY STRING Leave it in automatic and it follows whatever you play. Or pick a string and it holds it, so a fret buzz or a neighbouring string cannot steal the reading. YOUR OWN TUNINGS Drop D, open G, DADGAD, seven-string guitar, banjo, baritone ukulele. Name each string, set its frequency, save it. Up to 7 strings per tuning. TUNE BY EAR TOO Tap a string to hear it, recorded from the real instrument. Useful for a wind instrument, a voice, or anywhere a microphone struggles. BUILT TO BE READ AT A GLANCE • Neon needle with a green zone: inside it, you are in tune • Live pitch trace, so you can see whether the note is steady or drifting, the honest test for bowed strings and for singers • Frequency in Hz and deviation in cents, always on screen • Screen stays on while you tune Works offline. No sign-up, no account. Free, with an optional one-time purchase to remove ads. Microphone access is required: it is how the app hears your instrument. Nothing is recorded and nothing is sent anywhere.
