## Music Wrench Reviews in United States

### **--- "No subscription button anywhere!!"
This app is exactly what I’m looking for but the user interface is extremely inelegant and the main screen you see when you’re using it seems too crowded, with the menu bar permanently on the side and impossible to move or minimize. I’ve clicked every button and cant find anywhere to subscribe, and most of the content isn’t available if you don’t subscribe. I’ve tried clicking on some of the grayed-out songs on the “songs” tab and it just says “can’t connect to iTunes Store” for every one. I see from past reviews the paid version of the app used to be $5. It’s now 99 cents a month (according to the “help” tab) and honestly given how slapped-together the app seems I don’t know if that’s worth it. It’s been around for several years and aside from bug fixes I don’t see a lot of effort having been put into making the app look or function better. I’d pay $5 in a heartbeat for the gamble of this app working as well as I need it to, if the app would even let me. Make it $5 and give me a way to pay the $5 and I’ll try it again!

### ***** "Unmatched in capability"
Music Wrench is unique in its ability to provide real-time feedback on the intonation of both single notes and double-stops while playing the violin. Because it is always recording, you can effortlessly scroll back and review the last minute or so of playing without ever having to think about starting a recording. There is simply nothing else on the market that has its ability to show you whether your intervals are in tune. I’m not sure what I would do without Music wrench.
-- Dadeae, 2025-09-25

### ***** "Irreplaceable for fiddle intonation"
I’ve been using this app for years and just wanted to say thank you, Alden.  I mostly use it for real-time feedback. I don’t know what I would do without it!

It’s wonderful that you make this available for a fraction of the cost of a new set of strings.
-- Dadeae, 2023-09-13

### ***-- "I like it. I don’t love it."
This is a stand out app no doubt. The fact that it recognizes and displays double stops is phenomenal. What I was really really hoping for is some kind of scorekeeping. But there is none. 

This app could be phenomenal and so much more powerful with a more robust interactive scorekeeping system. For instance, a two octave scale is displayed, you play it on your violin, and when you’re done, you ask the app to record the score. The score would be your success at playing each note, for instance, 50% of E flat notes were within 10 cents. 90% of A naturals were within five cents. Etc. 

There is a rudimentary score keeping system limited to an individual song. It’s better than nothing, but I would love to see a comprehensive spreadsheet type of record keeping system that you could use to really drill down to individual notes and hammer out where your biggest problem areas are.

Thank you!

### ***** "A must have app!"
As accurate as Korg tuners, but has the advantage of the constant display and recording. You can also get visual feedback on vibrato speed and amplitude. All the Suzuki pieces are in the app, play along with instant feedback on intonation and timing with the built in metronome. 
This is the best tuner you can get, more features than any stand alone tuner out there and for a fraction of the price. A must have app for any violinist.
-- Pgy2, 2021-07-01

### ***** "Surprisingly effective!"
This has become a go-to app for me since it gives continuous intonation feedback in the context of scales, tonality exercises, and even some musical pieces. Given it meets my needs so well and I use it every practice session it deserves 5 stars, but I sure wish it were possible to upload musicXML. Given the limited repertoire, it seems like a demo until you really start to use it. The UI is a bit odd, but you get used to it and it works.
-- plant notes, 2019-02-20

### ****- "Good app, waiting for viola version!"
I’ve used this with viola for about a year and it’s really improved my intonation a lot. Looking forward to the C string expansion!
-- jallibunn, 2018-12-29

### ***** "Great for vibrato too"
This is a surprisingly useful app. Professional musician and teacher. 
In the practice mode you can look at width of vibrato and constancy, (yes, keeping 3 down while vibrating 4 visibly helps!) you can see accidental squeaks from bow or bow/finger timing, I suspect there are many more uses than checking intonation. 

I wish it worked for the viola C string -it currently does not. It would be nice to have at least the single-line intonation feedback available for those 7 too-low notes.
-- Vlaist, 2018-05-03

### ***** "I need all the help I can get!"
Works well. Does what it says and has helped very much!
Would be even nicer if settings could be changed for different tunings like tuning down for Cajun.
-- FritzieFresh, 2018-04-23

### ***-- "Great features... lousy user interface"
This app could be one of the best in the industry. It has all the requirements for violin (metronome, intonation analysis, scale practice, etc..). It’s really a must for every violin player. 

But I really hate the user interface. It seems the developer took it from an older app or software and just posted. It requires significant face lift
-- hajjarm, 2018-03-17

### ***** "So worth the money!!!"
I love this app. It is taking my playing to the next level.  I highly recommend!
-- Kmmkwilson, 2017-09-25

### ***** "My Favorite Music App!"
UPDATE:  Still my favorite music practice app, but now even better!!!  I just discovered it has a "Space Invaders" shooter game that yses intonation as the controller to shoot notes!!   Makes sight reading practice so much fun!  And playing notes in tune outside of a melodic context is sharpening my ears.  This app is so wonderful. I use it several times a day.   

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I use this app every day while I practice violin.  I love it!  I love the scales practice, I love the metronome, and I love getting a visual history of my intonation.  

Every day I record my sections of my pieces as I practice them. Music Wrench records the audio and records a color coded visual display that tells me how in tune or out of tune each note is.

I actually turn my back to my iPad while I play with Music Wrench running.  Then I stop and self evaluate.  I think about which notes were flat, which were sharp. and which were in tune. After I self evaluate, I turn around and look at Music Wrench to see how accurate I was.  Then I listen to the recording and watch the color coded display as I listen.  This has helped my intonation so much!  I never practice without it!
-- Waitlossgyrl, 2017-08-25

### ***** "Superb App!!  A++++"
The concept, design and execution of this app are is just outstanding.  It's incredibly useful for violinists of all levels.  It's a coach, a diagnostic tool, a tuner, a playing partner and a second set of ears all in one.  Thanks!!!
-- Monsieur Micawber, 2017-08-25

### ***** "Integrate with lilypond?"
I like it a lot. It would be even better if it can be integrated with music typesetter such as lilypond, so that users can add the pieces they want to work on.
-- Long commute, 2016-12-19

### ***** "awesome!"
This is such a special app-- nothing else out there like this and I've download all of the other pitch graphing programs. No one else has beat markers, which are truly invaluable. The color visualization is much clearer than just the squiggly line that other apps have.

My one request is for an expanded range of pitch detection-- I'm an alto vocalist and I sing lower than a violin. This app could truly help singers and instrumentalists of all kinds so I hope hope hope you'll consider a universal version.

Thanks again for your magnificent work!

### *---- "Do not get."
So I try this app thinking "hey cool." When I open it, you can't do anything without paying $5. When I click "free trial", things don't even function right. It's like they're hiding the main features until you buy it.
-- Fylhshkskicohztoasty, 2016-10-05

### *---- "Hey!"
It says all the features are free in the description, and then in the app, you have to pay 5 dollars for anything other than a scale
-- Juice1293, 2016-02-06

### ***** "Very helpful practice tool"
Music Wrench is great for helping me identify my problem areas and fine tuning.
-- bshnudky, 2015-10-28

### ***** "Awesome app!"
I found this app very helpful.
-- Cooshrocket, 2015-05-17

### ***** "Great app!"
As a new student of the violin this app has really helped me. This has been a great tool to take with me to my lessons and to have at school.
