Cleartune is a chromatic instrument tuner and pitch pipe that allows you to quickly and accurately tune your instrument using the built-in mic in your device.
Cleartune features a unique "note wheel" interface allowing you to quickly find your pitch, paired with a highly responsive fine-tuning meter for the perfect tune.
With support for custom temperaments, transposition, notations such as solfège, and adjustable calibration, Cleartune packs more power than most pro tuners, yet is simple enough for everyone to use. Cleartune can tune acoustic or electric guitar, bass, bowed strings, woodwinds, brass, piano, tympani and any other instrument that can sustain a tone.
Most electronic tuners cannot properly tune a violin. With a built in temperament for violin family instruments, Cleartune will have the 5ths singing perfectly.
Features:
- Note Wheel Display - Ultra responsive 25 cent range fine tuning display - Needle Damping option - Accuracy ±0.01 semitone (±1 cent) - Selectable Temperaments - Selectable Notations (such as Solfège) - User-defined temperament and notations - Support for transposing instruments - Automatic reference note calibration - Adjustable A4 calibration in 0.1 Hz increment - Pitch Pipe/Tone generator - Selectable tone waveform - Automatic or manual note selection

8 of 25What a waste of money. How hard is it to make a tuner app.
Don’t bother
This used to be a great, elegant tuner. 5 years ago. Now it barely functions. This should be removed from the App Store as it is an abandoned, effectively nonfunctional app
This app used to be a great tuner, in the last year or so It has just gone from bad to worse. I get no response from the app. I’ve tried Customer Service and the website won’t come up. Too bad I really liked this app at one time.
This app should be removed from the store because it’s worthless.
The only phone tuner that has worked consistently, and I’ve been using it for 13 years!
Cleartune is mediocre at best but is likely the fault of the microphone, not the software. The bandwidth is limited and cannot tune the scope of a piano or harpsichord. Still, for a phone app it is not bad and better than lugging a tuner around.
The application is completely unstable, capricious and inaccurate. It has not received an update for 4 years. Their android version was perfect, but they discontinued it and you can't find it anymore. It's a scandal that they are still selling it in the Apple Store!
