Trace Tuner is a simple but accurate chromatic tuner. In contrast to similar apps, you will not get the look and feel of a hardware tuner with a slow and damped needle. Instead, you will see the trace of your tuning over the last five seconds. By this, the reaction of the tuner can be faster and more accurate, but still gives you the feeling for your tuning. To keep it simple, only the neccessary features are implemented: ● Frequency spectrum to check your input ● The concert pitch of 440Hz can be variied in 1Hz steps ● Choose your favorite notation (English, German, Solfège) ● Support for transposing instruments The tuner works with the build in microphone of the iPhone. For the iPod touch you will need an external microphone.
Great tuner
I love this tuner and have used it for many years. Please keep it updated!
United StatesSo perfect!
Exactly what you need for tuning whatever you need. The price is great and would be for much more! Thank you so much for keeping this updated!
United StatesVery accurate!
I was having trouble tuning my ukulele with other paid apps. There's not a lot of margin for error with this tiny instrument. This app is very easy to use and my uke sounds so sweet now. Thank you! From the looks of the settings page, this app could probably use a refresh to bring it in line with the latest Apple graphical standards, but that's a minor niggle for an app that really improved the sound of my instrument, and therefore, my playing!
United StatesFantastic!
I really needed a precise tuner that was easy to use and could help me get my alto sax in tune. I got this because I needed a tuner for a marching band assignment, and this definitely worked like all tuners should. The tuner has good "hearing" so to speak, in that it: picks up on a lot of noise, can tell you the frequency (if you need to be that specific), but will pick up some background noise. I felt that I was able to see my adjustments, get my instrument in tune, and really feel when my sax was in the "golden range". I definitely recommend this to musicians who need an exact tuner. It was well worth the small price!
United StatesBetter than any clip on tuner I've owned
v1.3, iOS 6.1.3, iPhone 4S This thing tunes *very* tight. For best results, you do need to reduce background noise, so a clip adapter would be nice. Can't get away from others? Simply place your phone on the instrument. I play mandolin, so there's that inherent problem of matching strings. Clip on tuners and needle-type apps leave me wondering why it sounds "off" even though the needle is centered. Not with this tuner. If it says you're in tune, you can bet on it and you can hear the difference. The display takes a moment to figure out. Just play a note and it becomes self-evident. Tweak the tuning gently and the 5 second display shows your progress. Great idea. That 5 second display may be why you can see such accurate results. I'm not sure why others want more accuracy. This is my only trusted tuner.
United StatesGreat tuner with transposition
Great little app! Supports different tuning modes! Also good training aid to make sure you play in tune.
United StatesMostly Great...
Some *quick* tests with my keyboard were showing this was accurate to within a few cents, which meets the needs of the vast majority of people. The running tape is nice so that you can *see* trends and errors and adjust accordingly. The "Freqencies" view is neat but has few practical applications because there isn't enough resolution in the frequency domain to gain knowledge of the frequencies--or better yet notes--that are being played. (I'm not quite sure what the page is really for other than looking neat, as it doesn't accomplish any of the use cases very well (e.g. overtone analysis, polyphonic tuning, decomposition of a polyphonic source into it's notes). Lastly, after having this on my phone for awhile I started having the "20 second" lock-up bug where everything would work fine for about 10-20 seconds and then it'd just freeze up. Deleting and reinstalling it seemed to fix the problem, and I actually suspect that the issue is with the iOS 4 multitasking, and that just killing the app and restarting (or equivalently, restarting the phone) would fix the problem as well. Overall, it is worth the purchase and is working well for my needs (tuning of a guitar, flugelhorn, and trumpet, as well as checking how in tune I am with certain trumpet trouble pitches like C#4 that need to be corrected via slides.)
