Trace Tuner app for iPhone and iPad

This tuner is great for practicing long notes when practicing tone tuning and tone quality on a flute. The frequency spectrum option is very nice to practice the timbre of the notes, that is the strength of the overtones. I use an iPod Touch with an inexpensive external microphone (one used for phone calls over the internet), and this seems to work just fine. I have tested it when playing long notes and it work quite well once it locks into the fundamental frequency (for the tuning option). While I have an electronic tuner, it only tests one note at a time, which makes it cumbersome to practice long notes while playing the various scales; it is also much bulkier, so not very suitable for travel. You are likely to have the iPhone or iPod Touch with you anyway. It is good that you can set the notation and pitch. If the iPod Touch does not have a microphone (either build-in or external) the program will not start.

Cant believe this isnt the top tuner app, perhaps there is a similar one that is more popular. Shows pitches for the past few seconds, excellent for voice training, learning the violin, or setting guitar intonation accurately. The only guitar tuner I will use; most tuners show you an average of pitches, which is inaccurate (guitars are sharp when plucked for example); this shows the actual sampled pitch.

Im a musician in Japan and I use this app!! I think this app is best tuner!! If you can have a time, up date for iOS7, Please!! Ill tell this app to my friends!!

Works well with voice and recorder on my new ipod touch that has a microphone. Graphically its a better way to tune then a needle bouncing around. Some tuners dont mention how they work. This one listens to you. It doesnt play a note for you to match.

Exactly what you need for tuning whatever you need. The price is great and would be for much more!

This is a great tuner app. The frequency graph is a really neat feature. I do wish that the frequency axis of the graph could be rescaled in order to get more accurate frequency readings from the graph though. For example, being able to make the max 1000Hz with 100 Hz increments would be very useful.

I had this app. a while ago. It was deleted from my iPod and was not available. Im glad to see it back. One feature I like is that it shows he frequencies in the frequency mode. Like another reviewer, I too would like to be able to puck the range of the display, but at least there is a reference. Thanks for making this app. Available again.

This style of tuning works really well. When a string is initially struck, you can see the spike in pitch as a predictable pattern. Having a readout of the past five seconds of pitch is brilliant. It gives you a more stable reference to work with.

This is a wonderful app in many ways, and not just for tuning. The frequency view is quite fun and allows you to analyze the spectrum of all the noises around you. Its really neat seeing the harmonics pop up as a bunch of spikes in this view. Many thanks to the author for making this free.
