insTuner is a chromatic tuner that helps you tune instruments quickly and accurately. It also features a Tone Generator just like a pitch pipe with four different wave forms.

With advanced DSP (Digital Signal Processing) algorithm, it is highly accurate (±1/1000 semitone or ±0.1 cent precision). Rather than providing only one mode like other tuners, insTuner supports different tuning modes applicable to different situations, such as Instant Tuning Mode for quick tune and play, Fine and Strobe Modes for accurate tuning, FFT Mode for sound analysis etc. What's more, many advanced features are provided such as Concert A calibration, historical temperaments and transpositions, which make it more powerful than other tuners.

insTuner is well-designed and easy to use. It features a unique "fixed" note wheel, which helps you to find the position of detected pitch easily. You can also use it as an electronic pitch pipe to tune by ear, matching the generated tones.

It is suitable for tuning acoustic or electric guitar and bass, ukulele, mandolin, banjo, bouzouki, bowed strings, woodwinds, brass, timpani and more. In fact, almost any instrument that sustains a tone can be tuned using insTuner. It supports Built-in Microphone as well as Line-in and other audio interface such as Apogee One. Clip Microphone is supported too.

"Best tuner I've ever had. I'm a professional clarinetist, and I've told all of my musician friends to use this app."

"I highly recommend this app and who can beat the price. My violin teacher compared it to her personal device. She wants an ipad to get the app for her personal use. "

"I have the iPhone 5 and play tenor sax, I compared this to a 40 dollar tuner and its perfect..."

"As a high school band director, I use this tuner more often than my strobo tuner. Besides the obvious portability, it is actually a bit more sensitive than the multi thousand dollar strobo and I Iove the multitude of options!"

"Absolutely love this app. I use it for my guitar, my son's violin and upright bass. The new features are even more amazing..."

I constantly use this app when gigging or teaching. It’s on all my mobile devices, along with the metronome by the same developer.

I have used the paid version of this app for my voice, guitar my wife’s students. We both have helped sell many of these to our students. The strobe setting is the best for voice. Both of our apps quit doing the strobe but instead do the simple read m out on the free app the app quits when we got to settings. I went in and downloaded a second one for 3.99 but that doesn’t work either. I am using an iphone at 17.4.1. I’m sure I can fine something else but my students and i rely on this app. Can you help and maybe refund my 3.99 too. Thanks Peter Thomsen

Very good

App Crashes
     
by khassler · March 16, 2025

I recently deleted an older InsTuner App and replaced with a new purchased version because the old version crashed as I selected the settings icon. The new version works to begin with , but eventually crashes much like the previous app.

Bad update

So far it was free and helpful.

The app crashes immediately upon opening
     
by sobi_e · November 21, 2025

I purchased the pro version of this app several years ago and was initially very satisfied with it. However, the app no longer works and crashes every time I try to use it. I have attempted every possible solution and even reached out to Apple Support. They provided general advice, such as performing a hard reset of my phone and reinstalling the app. Ultimately, they informed me that they don't have control over developers and did not share any contact information for the developers. The developer's website is inactive, and I could not find any contact details. I recommend not wasting your money on this app.

Great when it works.
