Pros and cons of Tuna Pitch - chromatic tuner app for iPhone and iPad
Tuna Pitch - chromatic tuner app good for
As an inexpensive app, this is eyecatching, though I had to wrestle with which guitar et al. tuner on the app store because some look more stylish.
I made the choice to get this because it is a chromatic tuner, not ONLY a pitch pipe; also it is relatively the cheapest tuner that includes other instruments (personally used the ukelele tuner already, and may use the banjo tuner soon) alternate guitar tuning.
The program is very responsive and registers all notes exactly; I tested the tuner with my E tuning fork and it was perfect.
Using this now for a few months to tune cellos and it works for me.
Ive tried many other tuners, many of them paid apps. This free tuner puts all others to shame. Best configurability, best display best sensitivity.
Some bad moments
Downloaded update and all the categories in iTunes apps now fail to function.
I love this app! Blows away any of the other tuners on the app store. Just as accurate as my inline Korg Pitchblack!
Cannot handle stretch, inharmonicity, or the complexities of piano tuning. OK for guitars, winds, etc.... just not for pianos.
Love the app but the persistent reminder that I dont have a mike plugged in to my iPod touch is unnecesary and annoying. I personally use the app to get me in the right pitch range for tuning a guitar, violin, ukelele & banjo in pitch pipe mode.
Should be able to simply tap the notice to make it go away or provide a setting to dissable the mike tuning feature for those that dont have built-in mikes. The settings would also be a lot nicer with a tumbler style selector.
I hope to see the notice go away in a future update. Otherwise, nicely done.
I bought this app instead of a 20 dollar electronic tuner and it works grea t. I m not sure what to do with the micriphone idea but listening to the pitch and tuning your instrument by ear is better for your musicianship.
Awesome for guitar I lost my other tuner today at practice but this is exactly like it 7 out of 5 stars
