About this app

This app uses the microphone to auto detect the pitch of the note being played. The 3 dials will rotate to show the note being played. The middle dial shows the pitch or note name. The inner dial shows the octave. The outer dial will show if the note is flat or sharp - The orange region is within 10 cents for good tuning, the green is within 5 cents for more accurate tuning.

Whilst optimised as a guitar tuner, this app can be used for tuning many other musical instruments. Frequency detection from B0 (30 Hz) up to C8 (4186 Hz).


In addition to 12 Tone Equal Temperament(12-TET), choose from just intonation, Pythagorean, 5-limit, 7-limit, quarter comma meantone and N-Tone equal temperament tuning. For N-Tone ET, N can range from 5 to 52.


Shift feature for those that don’t want A to be 440 Hz or if you need to tune to accompany your out of tune friends. Get them to play a note, hit the shift key, and rotate the dial to what they thought they played. Hit the shift key again and then tune as normal. Remember to hit reset to get back to original settings at any time.


Pitch Pipe also included.

I love this app because it's the only tuner that allows you to tune any instrument to any temperament. I use Just and 12 tone Equal Temperament on pipes, cittern and also on my daughter's harp. Forget the use of the word 'guitar' in the app name. Flaws? It's hard to find, it's clunky-looking and the website looks like it's been unchanged since 1996 but the tuner app itself is great and unique in its flexibility. You can set C (1/1) to any hz so I can tune pipes in different keys to Just.

You should change the name, there is nothing particularly 'guitar' about this tuner. I love the layout and design BUT rubber is quite unresponsive when compared to the 30 other tuners I have compared it to (lower 3rd in responsiveness). Shame, I like the layout and design. Also needs a strobe option for real professionals and a grand stage with the notes you are playing (singular).

This app is the best due to it's choice of tuning settings, but I wish there was a way to dial in the sensitivity. Many times, I have to switch to another tuner app because the environment is a bit too noisy and this tuner goes mad. So minus 1 star because of this.
