The tuner is very easy to use and it provides quite a bit of sophisticated, additional information related to color and temperament.

I have the Peterson professional version tuner. This app competes with it.

Accurate app, but the spinning display is very annoying

It's a great comprehensive app for strobe tuner. I have professional piano tuning software, but this is still extremely useful in many circumstances.

I have been an aural tuner for over 30 years. But, as my ears aged, I needed help with the higher partials and about the two upper octaves on the piano. This app is very useful and is easy to use. I have also used the Android version with good results. Recommended. Robert C, Walshe Show more

I use this a lot, and it’s very convenient since it’s on my iPhone. It is always with me, not in my guitar case. I love the Accuracy and simplicity! No problem until writing this review. It is making me make up a nickname! Show more

I constantly use this app to tune Native American Style flutes. A very big advantage is being able to see the harmonics of a note which shows me where slight adjustments need to be made. There are so many features available for very fine tuning. I would rate the calibration feature a “++” allowing for perfect environmental tuning. Hands down one of the best apps available for instrument making. Show more

I can keep my grand in tune all year long! ?❄️

It is theoretically possible to indicate a pitch more accurately than an instrument can dial in or a string can make. This tuner makes us think that it provides that means and compels you to try, to play with the app like the cool toy it is. The bottom like though is how it all sounds when you're finished and how easy it is to use. It doesn't sound that good and endless fiddling required. I've checked out all my instruments learning what I can do and how to do it. I give this app 5 stars because it's fun to play with, not because it's a good functional tuner. I haven't tried a strobe tuner before so I have nothing to compare it to. The down side is it's not a practical option during a live performance. The fact that it uses the audio microphone is problematic. It's only useable in a quiet place. It rather needs a contact pickup able to clip on your instrument. According to the instructions there's a pickup that plugs into the charging port and you need that because the headphone/microphone jack feeds in through a band pass filter that ignores frequencies below 150 cycles which means the iPhone or iPad is designed to be deaf to bass notes. I haven't found a pickup configured with a plug which uses the charging port. The manual octave selector pops out of lock every time the note is tested. When it does, the band pass filter drops out and then the display is momentarily chaotic and you reset and try again; lots of playing around. I can't make the custom profile feature work, so maybe it doesn't. So, try this app, it's free to try. Show more

It saved my butt in the studio. Worth the money just for that.

From a student's perspective: I want something similar to "Cyber Tuner" in hand. This affordable app offers similar precision strobe display, which is valuable even just to train my hand technique. The temperament sounds quite fine; one could of course fine tune after the app. I like that the app is being updated often. It doesn't have presets for specific piano models, which shouldn't be a problem when a student is learning to tune by ear. I am very thankful for this app. It does use a lot battery, my iPhone 5s wouldn't survive a whole piano tuning without external power. The phone also heats up, might cause phone to shutdown if used for too long? Show more

I have been tuning my piano for many years. I am self taught and have been able to do a so-so job. After using PST I found that my piano has that sweet sound that a professional tuner is able to achieve. PST is a first class piece of software, written by a signal processing expert who knows his stuff. I know; I worked in the field as a programmer for forty two years. It shows. Show more

I use this for my guitar and the kids use it for their violins. Now, I wouldn't use any thing else. Really nice.

Used it to verify that the unisons in the upper register on my Baldwin SF-10 piano were off after a recent tuning. Also determined the stretch was suboptimal for my piano. When I finally get a tuning with the stretch I find most pleasing, I will use it again to set one of the custom temperaments to the values I like so we will have it for next time! Show more

I've been tuning for 20 years now, for the past 10 or so years I've used Tune Lab 97. I've resisted upgrading to the latest version because every time I had 300 bucks I had something better to do with it. I tried the light version of this app and knew I wanted to spend a measly five bucks for this app that replaces most of the features that the TuneLab program did. It is a tremendous app that is suited for fine tuning wind, organs and especially pianos. A technician with some experience can tune an instrument in about an hour. That way you can schedule another tuning in a day and make a little more cash. Now if you've never tuned your piano and think this will save you a visit from your piano tuner, think again. there's a lot more than just getting the strings in tune. Even with this app it will take you hours to get your piano sounding right, you'll be happier if you just pay your tech and sip a beverage while he works. Again great app... But if you are a piano tech wanting to put this on your iPad, be sure to get a good mic to go with it. The iPad has a problem with hearing the lowest and highest notes on the iPad... Show more

Excellent app!

I use this for organ tuning all the time. The resolution is wonderful and accuracy is dead on. A few things I would recommend to developers: One. The ability to reduce the input volume. Sometimes I have to back the tuner way far away from the pipes I am tuning in order for it to pick up. Two. More presets for temperaments, such as Kellner or some of the more well-known unequal temperaments. Three. The ability to enter in new temperaments by entering in the variation data instead of having to record the temperament in. Four. The ability to tune mutation stops without having to set manually the note on the dial. This could be achieved as a setting whereby you would enter in the mutation and the tuner would automatically put you on the right note on the keyboard instead of tracking to the note that mutation is closest to. All-around a great product and I will continue to recommend it to all my Organ colleagues. Show more

I started with the lite version but needed to be able to save the temperament for pedal steel guitar so I upgraded to the paid version. This version only allows saving of one user temperament and pedal steel guitar needs at least 2. One for E9 and one for C6 tuning. The developer was very helpful and a good communicator. The tuner works very well. He said he would be releasing a pro version that would allow multiple user temperaments. Show more

Excellent tuner, well worth the money.

This app allows me to precisely intonate my dulcimers even in a noisy music festival. Worth 100X it's price! I've used this guys hardware version of this app, and the app is every bit as good for luthier's use. Show more
