Ratings and reviews

This is by far the nicest, most visually appealing tuning app available. However, I did notice that it continues to use the microphone even when the app is in the background on my device, which leads to battery drain. I'm pretty sure that this is a bug and not the app being creepy though, as it has used practically no internet data in the few months I've used it for.

I don't know if this is typical of all similar apps but its rather vague. I am using it to ID notes used in a bar of music. I cut the bar up and pasted each note 10 times to help the tuner ID the notes but for the first notes 10 identical repetitions the app suggests B1, B1, C3#, C2, C2, A1, C2#, B1, C2 and B1 which narrows it down a bit but it's still quite a range. I appreciate that I'm not using the app for what it was designed for and I may be doing something wrong.

I am sincerely blown away by the fact that the creator of this wonderful tool is providing it ad free and without initial charges! I have used most of the big apps (from tuna to fender) and this app is very easily the most accessible and effective hit the icon and lay the phone on the pedal board tuner I have used, I know it won't be a cup of good coffee but I have to at least toast it with one! Thanks!
