Pitched Tuner
London, United Kingdom
What it is
Pitched Tuner is a chromatic tuner and pitch pipe for Android and iOS that uses a device microphone to tune instruments. Its hands-free mode can move through all strings without a screen tap between them. On Android, users can choose chromatic tuning or instrument mode, with standard tunings and automatic or manual note selection. The maker names guitar, violin, cello, and bass among supported instruments. For tuning by ear, the pitch pipe continuously plays a selected note after users choose its note, octave, and instrument type. Settings include microphone sensitivity, reference-pitch adjustment away from 440 Hz, note naming, instrument transposition, accidental notation, and light or dark appearance. A pitch chart shows pitch changes over time for checking vocal consistency or practicing vibrato. The free plan contains personalized ads; Pro adds creation and saving of custom tunings and temperaments. Purchases transfer between devices using the same store account, but licenses do not transfer between Android and iOS. The app is described as suitable for beginners and experienced musicians.
