User Reviews for Cleartune

Great app, but...

This app hasn't been working since I got an iPhone 5C (hence an OS upgrade). I tried everything to get it to work, and finally tonight I found their Facebook page and the solution. Why isn't it posted here?? It's a great app, but this info should be posted clearly in the app description here.Next, the developers should work on a port of the old application called "Intonation Trainer"--a great program that was marketed incorrectly that I found indispensable for teaching students how to tune chords and intervals and to make an intonation map when evaluating new horns. I think these guys could make a really elegant version.If they edit this page, I will happily add that final star….

Works great!

This app is a life saver. It is extremely accurate. We have several tuners lying around but I always reach for my phone. I have tuned every guitar I own from acoustics to bass guitars and never had a problem with a note registering.I plug the guitar into my phone when tuning. I have used the iPhone built in mic before and it worked fine as well. Those complaining about certain notes or frequencies not picking up can blame the mic not the app. If you are having an issue like this, try moving the soundhole itself closer to the mic.

Thank you for the update!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!!! . I’ve been a professional musician since 1980 and this is BY FAR the best and most accurate guitar tuner I’ve ever used. I was devastated when IOS 11 came out and the tuner wasn’t working. Thanks for the quick update. The temperament function really makes it worth it, too. Ever since I read an article in an article in Disc Makers Blog, I’ve used it regularly. Below is a brief section from that article:James Taylor, in order to accommodate the vagaries of acoustic guitars, tunes his strings flatter than normal. Here is his guide:High E string -3 centsB string -6 centsG string -4 centsD string -8 centsA string -10 centsLow E string -12 centsThis tuning method is also great for using a capo. Now, your mileage may vary. Your guitar is different than Taylor’s guitar. Your action may be higher. Maybe you play harder. Maybe you don’t use capos. Try it out and adjust your tuning as need be. Anyway, thanks again! This tuner is the best of any I’ve found in the App Store, and (if you’re a serious musician) is worth more than the price you are charging. Have a wonderful day! -DJG. nyc

Why did you remove features?

This has been my go-to tuner for years. As a music teacher, I was able to use the app on two different devices side-by-side to demonstrate what it sounds like when two pitches go in and out of tune with each other (using the tone generator). The “unlocking” feature that removes the pitch grid is essential to the success of this lesson because the students could see the wheel move farther and farther away from the pitch and compare it with the sound waves they hear (as the waves get faster, the pitches go out of tune with one another). They LOVED it and it was an extremely effective lesson. This feature has been removed, unfortunately, and now I need to find an alternative app. Very disappointed.

Thank you for the update!!!!!

I never deleted this app before the update and I tapped on it by accident and it opened! I was so ecstatic, Ive never been more excited about an update for an app! No I can resume my practice just as I did before! Thank you so much for updating this wonderful app! One thing I did notice however... I like to play the drone through a Bluetooth speaker so I can hear it as I’m playing a passage, and now it won’t play through my speaker. My metronome does, so this is a little disappointing. But this is a minor thing compared to how great this app is! Thank you again!

Great with an iRig

This tuner works great with the phones built in mic on an acoustic guitar. It works ok on an unplugged electric if you hold it really close to the strings, but for electric it really shines when connected through an iRig(I'm sure other similar adapters work fine too).I've used this on iPhone 4, iPad 2, and iPhone 5. My main use is still on my old iPhone 4 which I keep around as a beater for just this type of use. I'm guessing this would have worked fine on my 3G while I still had it if I hadn't killed its usefulness by installing iOS 4 on it which slowed it to a crawl.

Excellent tuner, just two small things I would fix

This tuner is excellent. For the money, you won’t find a better tuner for your iPhone. It’s easy to use, accurate and customizable. It had a pitch pipe setting so you can easily listen to any reference tone you like. That being said, I noticed two small differences from the older version versus the new iOS 11 version:1. The green needle used to turn green when you were +/- 5 cents from the center of the pitch. Now it’s perpetually green. Please change it back to how it was. 2. The pitch pipe used to have a lock setting so that you could set it to any pitch and listen to what it sounds like in or out of tune. Please bring that lock setting back so the pitch pipe works exactly as it did before. No big deal, just hoping the developers see this review and make those changes if they feel the need to. I hope they do.

Not loving the update!

I rarely pay for apps, but I bought this one a couple of years ago and loved it. I am a music teacher and have referred many students to this app. However, the update has made it frustrating to use for several reasons. I like the smaller size of the old tuning "wheel". This larger size seems to be more "jumpy" and is distracting. It was also very helpful to have the needle stay yellow until the correct pitch was attained (now it just stays green making more difficult to see when that pitch is achieved). I would have rated the app 5 stars with the old version. I will probably look for a new app to use and recommend.

Formerly great app

I used to love this app. It WAS beautiful, accurate, and easy to use. But with this first update in years, its become unusable for me. It seems like a hasty and thoughtless update. Even with needle damping turned off, it's incredibly slow to register changes in pitch. So slow that it's useless. The ability to turn the wheel to generate any pitch (such as in-between pitches, outside of the set temperament) is gone, with the disappearance of the padlock at the bottom. Finally, it doesn't force the screen to stay on anymore, so that when practicing with a drone it shuts off after a minute - when the screen turns off. Questions sent to the developer about these issues have been unanswered. As far as I'm concerned, this "update" ruined the app.

Buggy

I’ve been using this app for a while for pipe organ tuning. Its ability to do temperaments is great, however today when I tried to tune to A415 Neidhardt Kleine Stadt, this preset had disappeared and the A415 setting kept reverting to A440. I’m trying to get an organ tuned for a performance and now I am screwed. Two stars for past usefulness but this is really a problem. I’d say use this app with great caution because it is unstable and features that once worked have ceased to. I wouldn’t call it dependable. Sadly for what I do there is no other adequate app. What are we supposed to do? No app with the temperament features, and the one that has them doesn’t work!! Frustrated.
