Tuner T1 Reviews

I am a bassoonist in one of the top 5 US orchestras.
The latest version of TunerT1 is my favorite tuner. (I’ve tried many.) Much easier to read with continuous display disabled (set with a toggle in the settings). The graphic line gives an excellent representation of your general pitch, the general stability of your tone, and you quickly learn what a preferred vibrato looks like, too. When trying alternate fingerings, it is much easier to see the real general pitch of a fingering compared to another fingering than any other type of display I’ve seen (Korg-like needles etc.). There were some adjustments made over previous versions, and it now picks up very well the full range of the bassoon (many tuners get confused in the low notes).

I paid $2 for TunerT1 after my friend recommending it to me. My microphone is halfway broken, it works with some apps but not others, so when TunerT1 couldn’t recognize that I was playing, I wasn’t surprised.
Since I had paid money for theirs app, I decided to restart my phone, and then it worked perfectly! I have to restart my phone every time I want to tune my violin, which is time consuming and annoying.
I don’t think my phone is the problem, because TunerT1 works perfectly after I restart my phone. I really like the way TunerT1 works, but if I always have to restart my phone, I think I’m going to have to use a different app.

I wanted a clear smooth vibrato on the guitar and needed to see how far the sharp and flat push/pull was working. I tried many many tuner apps all of which jitter around so much it was annoying. This tuner not only tunes but shows the waveform of how close you are or far away you are. It is perfect. I would pay for it but I cannot figure out how :-)

This is an awesome app. While simple, it single-handedly outperforms all freemium tuner apps I’ve ever used. Showing granular detail, it is very practical. It is also sensitive— and it has previews of notes, which is nice. Specifically, I appreciate how it seamlessly handles different instruments and their various pitches, whilst staying accurate. This is invaluable as a section leader at my HS band! Thanks for such a wonderful app!

There are buttons to press that will play a pitch for you to match, you do have to hold them down, which might be difficult if you are playing an instrument. It also uses the microphone to pick up sounds and match them to a pitch and tell you if they are too high/low. It work perfectly for what I am trying to do. Good app.

TunerT1 is great but I wish I could adjust to each instrument and know whether I am tune a concert pitch instrument our a Bb instrument. Because I am a trumpet player and when I play a G it shows that it is an F on the tuner, and no this is not an intonation problem because I can tunes and it will still be wrong. I guess what I am saying is please make it to where you can adjust to a different instrument.

I use TunerT1 when I play cello to tune the strings and see how well I'm hitting the notes. It works great for every note except open c, where it has trouble detecting if any frequency is being played. Everything else works like a charm!

I like this a lot better than the previous free app I was using, being more instantly visual. Today though it suddenly developed a buzz and then quit working for a while.
After an hour’s break it’s back on its game. Glad to have it back.

Yes, it could be better but not by much if you are looking for a tuner that allows hrtz measurement other than 440hrtz. This is a must if you don’t want all the unnecessary additions (that I would never use). Just want to tune and get it on. Some advertising does happen. Really not much to speak of.

The tuning is so precise, I move my fine tuners on my cello ever so slightly and it registers it. (note if you have a bad microphone you may have some issues) It can’t hold a pitch for tuning by ear, that’s honestly the only downside I see to it.

I do a lot of recording where you ideally tune for specific riffs played around the fretboard. I love that I can see the initial pick attack as being sharper and where the note will settle as it sustains. Properly tuned guitar so essential it’s overlooked.

I purchased TunerT1 and it worked well for a couple of months. Suddenly a couple of weeks ago, it suddenly stopped working. It made a buzzing sound and would not register the instrument playing. I remove TunerT1 and then reinstalled it. I actually paid for it a second time. It worked for about a day and then the same thing happened again. I don’t see any way to contact the developer and get a refund. I was very disappointed.

Having a tuner that graphs the frequency over time is so helpful. I usually play with old strings and so the pitch can take a while to settle. Being able to watch the pitch settle takes all the frustration out of tuning.

I think TunerT1 is good because I play a trombone and I’ve listen to various thing I’ve used other apps and they don’t sound like it should or it doesn’t figure out the no I’m playing but TunerT1 does

It would be cool if you could deflect certain notes to where it actually doesn’t turn green, I would use this personally to practice free styling singing while in key and I would happily pay for that feature!

Your app was thee best tuner app out there!!! Did you do any updates recently???
Tonite my phone app pick up feedback noise thru app on cell , this never happen before. I reinstalled it , now app is jumpy and getting guitar tuned was an adventure tonite .. grrrr!!!
On my way looking for another tuner - GREAT!

This is the best tuning app that was ever created. It works so well and it’s free! It can tune many instruments. I tune my trombone, piano, and ukulele playing TunerT1! I gave away my old guitar because I didn’t have a good tuner. Wish I would’ve came across TunerT1 sooner!

It did an ok job. It told me what key I was in, however it was super slow. I would be playing a key, then switch. Ten years later it realized I switched to another key and finally told me what I was in. It might’ve been because of poor internet connection but I don’t think TunerT1 requires internet connection to tell what key you’re in.

Finally a dependable tuner that also gives frequency address. Mosdef worth the money. I use it in my practice as well as studio. Very nice to use on tour as well to pinpoint problem frequencies in your monitor wedge.

- Connected Bluetooth speaker doesn’t play notes from TunerT1.

- in-app support request form doesn’t submit, no error message just hangs there

Served me very well and is nice because it shows your pitch very precisely relative to the actual pitch you're trying to play. I just wish it had a drone option, because then it would be perfect.

Easy to use. Clear, uncluttered visual feedback. Minimal storage space. Free. Only request would be the option of “latching” the tone buttons to free up both hands when tuning by ear.

At first TunerT1 is a little confusing but once you take a little time to actually understand how TunerT1 works which attack me 2 to 3 minutes then it's actually very easy and helpful.

I use TunerT1 to help me tune antique reed organs. The scrolling time line is very useful In diagnosing problems as well as tuning. These instruments are tuned in many pitches. TunerT1 makes that adjustment. Some small problems in the very base ranges

I love this so much! It tells you everything and can play different octaves and IT IS MY FAVORITE TUNER APP I HAVE EVER DOWNLOADED!!! And lemme tell you, I’ve downloaded QUITE a few tuners that are perfect for band. I think I’ll use this for the rest of my band life!!! IF YOU’RE READING THIS AND DON’T KNOW WETHER YOU WANT TunerT1 OR NOT... GET IT!!!!

Almost completely Voiceover friendly, which is rare for tuners. However if Voiceover were to announce mhz without user touching it would be much easier. Can't tune hands free yet.

This is the best tuner I’ve used. Ever. Period.

I have one suggestion to the developer:
You have buttons on the bottom of TunerT1 , and I had no idea what these did before. You should light up what note is being tuned. For example. If I’m playing a Bb. The button labeled “Bb” should light up.

This would make the buttons’ purpose seem more apparent. This would also make it more ‘visually appealing’, so to speak.

This tuner would tune anything real quick. It takes only half a second to know what note you're playing and to tune it

I've played an acoustic guitar for 40 years. This is the most accurate tuner I've ever used. With your guitar in position to play, you can lay your phone on top/side of the guitar and use it hands free as a tuner.

I’ve just started playing a trombone and I needed something at home to help me, I got TunerT1 and now I know which notes I play!
