    Dope app.
    It’s old but its not old. Please update your app and keep developing this. I hope all is well, you are great for making this.

    Fun and useful
    So, right off, this is almost the best guitar tuner I’ve used. If it would show the octave number of a note that would be very useful. Not strictly necessary assuming the strings aren’t totally out of tune, but it would be handy for full restringing. I get that the red dot at the bottom lets you adjust the number of components of the output as you slide it left and right, but moving it up and down does something to the volume I think, but only got the current note. Not sure this feature adds much. Show more

    Awesome Info Panel with Actual Information
    This is a really neat way to interact with sound and music. It took a little bit, and a look at the info pane, to “get it,” but now that I do, this is proving to be a fantastic tool with sound design. Especially when aiming for complex synth sounds intending to suggest, but not state, different timbres to hint at, say a trumpet, but not to BE a trumpet. And in fact can help super nerds actually veer away from specific instrument “sounds,” by allowing them/us to see which harmonics to avoid. To say nothing about how it can help tune a drum set or drum machine. Truly a stellar bit of kit for anyone into sound for the sake of sound. This means musicians, physicists, sound designers, and anyone who wants to understand what makes THAT wobble, that drives them/us good-mad, better than the other wobble that just annoys them/us or makes us bad-mad. I’d love to see a graphics update, but for free I’m not even remotely complaining. I also ask that you make a way that people who DO want to throw resources at you be given at least some way to do so. Not necessarily with a purchase. It probably wouldn’t be employed a lot, so it would be imprudent to create a specific commercial account, but a simple means of sending a couple bucks here and there would help you see that people DO appreciate developers, and that we want you to keep developing. Some of us also get how evil certain... let’s call them “business arrangements,” can be. How many times can a dollar be taxed before the one being taxed has to pay more than the dollar earned? [rhetorical] Developers: thanks for the stellar tool, and for making it free, AND free of ads! I’ve actually been just quitting anything that ads AT me anymore, and the ads that open something?!? Bad-mad for sure! I’ve also avoided “in app purchase,” apps for a long, long time. At least since the first few burned me. I find both approaches to be dishonest. DRM is another nightmare too vast a topic to get into. The ultra short version is that spending resources (time, money, creativity, at least) on inconveniencing the people who actually support the product and/or developer takes resources from making an app or product, or service, or support, or anything that can take something from good to OMG TAKE MY MONEY. I want apps that inspire OMG TMM, and these days products have to overcome product abandonment burns too. Sorry this is so long, I don’t get out much. Show more

    Dear Dev, can you make this open source?
    I wish this, exactly this, was included in every synth. Because trying to recreate a specific sound using pretty much any synth is soooo much more difficult without a spectrum analizer such as this. But it's fairly rare to find any on the app store that actually show the notes, and the octives, in such an easy layout such as this. But I mainly came here to say, that it's 2020. Audiobus 3 is here. Auv3 is here too. Add some ios versions later, and sadly, this app kind of only works with the mic now. If you launch it with AUM... Well... It doesn't launch at all. AUM gives an error and suggests you try again. And if you launch it with Audiobus 3, it actually launches, but it receives no audio from Audiobus... It just continue to receive mic, and Audiobus thinks this app is "asleep". So I'm still using it, with just the mic. I play back audio through my phones speaker, lol. Not ideal, but it's still the best, and it's free. This app needs to be updated, but maybe the dev doesn't have time. Any chance it could be released as open source? Then maybe someone else would be willing to update it, to keep it functioning fully? Show more

    It’s fun and gives a different perspective
    I’m enjoying it.
  • Austin1414, 14.12.2019
    This is my all-time favorite app
    All that needs to be said.

    Gos Bless You
    ... For trying your heart beats.

    Super...
    DOPE !
  • cuezaireekaa, 17.05.2018
    Thank you
    This is a very special app and you give it to us for free. We’re not werthy.

    Super diversely useful
    Awesome, nothing else comes close, and yet it's free. This is the go to app for tuning your whole guitar in one strum, examining your chords, and practicing polytone singing. Because you can see the weight of each note, you can get a good idea why your sound is going wrong in spite of supposedly being in tune. It's additional features are cool and useful too. If you work in microtonal instruments like slide guitar or need to figure out what's really going on when multiple notes are playing, but in terms of music theory, not just frequency numbers, and would like to visualize it, this is the app to use.

    Thank u
    Grieta app
  • Ben Efitofadoubt, 27.01.2017
    Lots of fun!
    Another great app from SBD. And it's free! Thanks Patrick.

    Nice, graphical app for music
    Very functional for a free app. Nicely designed layout with some nice features.
  • Veltstet, 15.05.2015
    Neat
    I'm not a musician, but I love tooling around w/ synth & midi apps. As another reviewer mentioned, this isn't a terribly useful app, but it's really neat & fun to mess around with. My pets are really annoyed/ freaked by it. Show more
  • EE Musician, 03.01.2014
    Pretty but not very useful.
    No frequencies on chart. Graphs flash by in real time, way too quickly to see what range an instrument is using. Amplitude is size of dots, much harder to follow and less exact than bar graphs. It does not match concert pitch, which the authors point out. Without freqs and accurate notes, it's a toy. GREAT IDEA and fun to play with, but not a meaningful tool for mixing or production.

    Gracias
    What an app! It's multidimensional and layers deep. I will have to explore further it's use on actual live mixes.
  • Laughing Al, 15.06.2013
    So very, very cool
    I love whoever wrote this app. Somebody with genius and vision, who - by the way isn't greedy (like fabe??are). More power to you, good man, God bless all your endeavors! If you have not installed this yet and you want to get a quick take on a mix, this app is for you. Heck, you can even use it as a chromatic tuner. Simply 5 stars. Wish I could do six. Anybody not giving 5 stars doesn't understand the price to value ratio. Show more
  • El-Marshall, 20.04.2013
    Perfect name for a powerful music production tool.
    This app is deceivingly simple for how useful it is. Why does a particular sound have that sweetness that is appealing to the listener? Spectral eye shows you harmonic structure in a way that's useful. Timbre as a visual pattern!!! I see big things for spectral eye! :) Show more
