Honestly, the BEST tuner I have ever used. Incredible technology!
I’ve been playing guitar for about 20 years. Rock, jazz, blues, some country. I actually started playing classical guitar. Needless to say, I’ve used many tuners. BOSS, Korg, Peterson Strobostomp on my pedalboard, you name it I’ve probably owned it at one point. On my iPhone I’ve tried SO many tuner apps, paid and free, I can’t even count how many. The truth is (and any player who’s worth their salt will tell you the same) that none of them are any good. They’re not accurate and don’t track well. Until now that is! Seriously, this is the app I’ve been waiting for. It’s not only better than any app I’ve used, but it’s also way better than my expensive hardware tuners. AND has a ton of crazy features. Nothing comes close, it’s worth every penny, just get it.
Historical Temperaments
One of the reasons I bought this app is that it has many historical temperaments built-in. I play the lute whose moveable frets allow one to adjust the tempering for individual pieces. I usually play in 1/6 comma meantone temperament, in which some of the enharmonic equivalents - for example G# and Ab - are VERY different notes. Unfortunately, VITALTuner only shows one of these and I have to tune the other by ear. It’s a good tool for those of us exploring early music, but not quite there yet. (If you have no idea what I’m talking about, everything else is worth 5 stars.)
Great tuner!
I really like this tuner. It seems very accurate, and the features and versatility are great! The main reason I wanted this app was to explore sweeter tunings and specifically use it for “James Taylor” tuning. But I can’t figure out how to set up the custom offsets correctly. How can I have a different offset for the high and low “E” strings on a guitar? Is that even possible or would I have to just do it manually for one of the “e” strings.
To be taken with a grain of salt
Looking at it from my perspective, I’m not an avid players of my guitar, but I enjoy it and want to learn it more than my basic knowledge. But reading through reviews of other tuning apps was like mini-horror stories. So I dropped the one time purchase for this app and after just finishing using it must say I am happy with the seeming effectiveness of it as well as it’s simplicity to use
Replaced my dedicated tuner
It seems to work at least as well as my dedicated tuner. I drop my phone onto my monitor and it picks up my guitar fine like that. Sweeter tunings and custom offsets are nice because I tend to tweak things that way.
Sweetened Tuning
I have struggled with getting my guitar in tune with traditional tuners and have really bought into the whole James Taylor sweetened tuning approach. Not until I got this app with an iRig 2 have I found a practical, reasonably fast way to tune with sweetened tuning live. I am very pleased! Highly recommend all of the above.
Excellent for keyboard instruments
This app is accurate, easy to use, and will work for any instrument. It is particularly useful for players of keyboard instruments who want to tune in something other than equal temperament. The app offers the largest number of historical tunings I have seen anywhere, and they are well researched and documented.
Needs an update
Needs an update to play nicely with iPhone X’s. Really a nice tuner though
Doesn’t Rotate To Portrait Mode
I use my iPad professionally and mount it to my mic stand in portrait mode. I would have hoped this app would have that function. It does not.
