Use the built-in mic on your device for tuning or connect directly via the headphone jack using an approved adaptor cable or interface. Devices without a headphone jack can connect a pickup or mic using the lightning-to-audio adaptor. Support via email at: info@strobosoft.com or call 708.388.3311 M-F 8am-5pm (CST)

User Reviews
I purchased this app based off of good reviews here and on Reddit. From the day I purchased it I’ve been disappointed by the issues I’ve had. On my M4 IPad Pro it almost always displays the hz multiple octaves up (frequently double.) Also I cannot get my interface for my guitar to work with this app. It’s recording and sending input to the iPad but nothing is coming through to the app. I’m not sure if this is even meant to be supported but I resorted to trying it considering I could never get it to work normally. On my iPhone 15 Pro the app works almost seamlessly if I put my phone extremely close to the guitar. Any further away and it can’t hear it even on boost mode with the noise filter on. I tried turning them off and no input. It jumps octaves much less on the phone but it still does it frequently enough to be annoying. Some of this could be user error but I didn’t change any settings after downloading the app. In general the app works well enough and I’m sure the good reviews reflect good experiences. I just didn’t have a great experience myself.
I really wanna use this for work on my iPad mini and country but I will say after not using it for a few minutes it freezes up and I have to restart it. Can do that mid show.
Anyone that doesn’t have a Peterson Tuner needs to look in a mirror and ask themselves what they are doing with their lives. This app does a lot and can be intimidating but the Sweetners are worth it and it takes time to understand it all. If you have questions contact Petersons Customer Service they are always willing to help and is one of the reasons why they have been in business for over 70 years. The only thing I wish they would add to the app is the ability to link my iPhone or iPad to my StroboPlus HDC with this app. My laptop died and have no way of changing out the tunings I currently have loaded on it.
Title says it all.
I bought this to set intonation on a guitar. And it’s not any good for that. It just keeps turning gray like it can’t hear anything. It also has a function that when you hit a target note , or get close, it grays out and stops. You can’t turn that off either. Soo annoying. Waste of money.
This tuner is most accurate on the market. A AUv3 function to using it as a plugin in Loopy Pro would be great and quick access concert pitch would be awesome.
It requires you to buy additional upgrades asking for 50 dollars more on top of the 9.99 originally paid. I’m asking for a refund.
Very sensitive and accurate. We use it for fine tuning flutes in our workshop before they go out to customers and it works well.
Doesn’t work on iOS 2. Everything is A#.
Do it right. Completely worth the cost. Price a hardware tuner and tell me otherwise. Don’t sleep on the sweeteners packs. James Taylor knows it. Eddie Van Halen knew it: If you want your instrument to sound right, you can’t trust straight math tuning. iStrobosoft puts it where you want it to be, every time.
This has to be about the worst thing Peterson has designed- constantly flashes between notes when I’m trying to tune an acoustic guitar in a whisper quiet studio environment- i don’t know how it can’t distinguish between an E and A string. I ended up just going back to my old insTuner app that’s cheaper and works.
The only app that will let user calibrate the tuner to suit with sound environment you are in. This app is super serious. And the maker told me their hardwares are even better!
