HotPaw Guitar Tuner A strobe tuner is "the most accurate type of tuner" according to Wikipedia. The HotPaw Guitar Tuner provides 6 precision Strobe Tuners for your guitar. Fast. Accurate. Noise resistant. See your notes also appear on a keyboard image and a musical grand staff also, as a great music learning aid. Uses the built-in mic on your Mac, or an external microphone. With 6 simultaneous strobe tuners, you don't need to wait for your room or recording studio to become quiet enough. You don't need to wait for a tuner to lock onto each note. You don't need to wait for a needle to finish moving. If you're really good, you don't even need to tune one guitar string at a time. With multiple strobe tuners, you can see if one string shifts in frequency while tuning another. You can also see if plucking a string hard on your guitar causes the notes to "bend". Just watch the waterfall waveforms overlaid on each string. When the waves for a particular guitar string synchronize or line up vertically and stop leaning and shifting left (flat) or right (sharp), you are precisely in tune with an internal equally-tempered digital oscillator. 8 alternate tunings (Standard EADGBE, Drop D, DADGAD, etc.) are supported. Also available are the HotPaw iChromatic tuner for OS X in the Mac App Store, and the inTuna Strobe Guitar Tuners for iPhone and iPad in the iOS App stores.

    Doesnt function at all
    No input detected on either the microphone or the Scarlett input. Doesn't work at all. No support website or info. SCAM.

    Wow, this is terrible tuner
    The interface is dumb—why is the Low E on the top? It’s too sensitive? it wont recognixe the note you hit, and you cant get it to recognize it. I could not tune half the string son my guitar. Terrible—there are mac much better guitar tuners out there for IOS, tuners that work wuickly and effectively-this was a waste of my money. Ugly interface as well. Do not buy Show more

    Back in it!
    Does what it supposed to do. Just got an acoustic. Learned rule one… Never let anyone else tune your guitar:especially without you knowing. This app put me back in it… Saved about 25 bucks. Show more

    All around terrible
    First: confusing. All i need is for something to tell me what note it is so I can tune my guitar. But no. It has to have all of these confusing things up at once telling me completely different things so I can’t figure out what i’m supposed to do. Second: what note am i playing? It tells me that it’s one note, then it goes to a bunch of other notes that are completely diffrerent. So, this app is all around usesless and I wouldn’t get it again if my goldfish’s life depended on it. Show more

    This is actually one of the best tuners, although, with some flaws
    Though this tuner really lacks in any kind of major visual appeal -- It is a tremendously FAST and accurate tuning experience. By following the strobe design on each string, you are only thinking in terms of flat or sharp. The lines move left if flat, right if sharp, stand still if in tune. I run a guitar studio myself, and although many other tuners have a better presentation, this one is fantastic to let students visualize what it is they are hearing -- which is an easier process here than for a tuner to be flailing around Eb F and shades in between with arrows and dots and needles. That said, the major flaws with this current version are that the visual indicators for what string (which you do not need) do not work. Arguably they shouldn't even be there. Also the notes that show the staff don't work -- but in my opinion that really shouldn't be there either. It would be better if these things were left out, then the functionality of this program would shine a little clearer. I still hold this is the best tuner here, albeit not as pretty. Show more
