insTuner Free - Chromatic Tuner Reviews

It directly tells you whether you need to make the note a higher or lower, and it even has a section where you can play any note from C with an octave of 0 to B with an octave of 8. This is really nice as it allows you to double check if a note is correct, and you can use it if insTunerFree can’t pick up a note. It picks up the notes most of the time, though it has some trouble picking up the highest notes on my kalimba at times

The only thing I slightly dislike is that even though it directly tells you whether to tune up or down, the notes are on a circle, which makes it a little confusing (for me personally) which way is tuning up and tuning down. This normally isn’t a problem, except sometimes I need to tune a tine to a completely different note than the one it’s normally tuned to. For example, I have a song where I have to tune the tine that usually plays the note A to play the note F#

That’s not that big of a deal though, so it won’t take a star off of my rating. This is definitely my favorite tuning app for my kalimba and I would highly recommend downloading this!

insTunerFree is soooo helpful. Before a practice, rehearsal, or concert I can quickly and easily access an easy way to tune my flute. I wish there were more like it. It took me a while to find a good tuning app and insTunerFree was the one I needed and found working just how I needed to. The only difficulty is that sometimes it has a hard time picking up my instrument or high note that I am playing. That being said it is a hard thing in general wether app, real runner, or human to pick out a specific sound or listen to a high note.

I’ve been using insTunerFree for a long time now. However I just recently noticed that you can upgrade to a pro version for free via Twitter or Facebook but what’s the problem? You can’t seem to do that at all. If you press the up arrow in the bottom right hand corner you’re prompted to upgrade to the pro version. It gives you the option to “pay with a tweet”. Once you select that there are 2 badges that appear. You can use Facebook or Twitter to get the upgrade free. However if you select either of them you’re told “No Twitter accounts or no Facebook accounts configured”. Which is obviously a lie I have both Twitter and Facebook accounts configured, signed in and installed on my phone. If you try and go to the settings in insTunerFree there are buttons for share and follow (choosing Twitter or Facebook). Pressing Twitter gives you the same no accounts configured message and pressing Facebook insTunerFree immediately crashes... EVERY TIME. I think this is unfair and I’ve lowered my review accordingly.

Due to the COVID-19 I’m at home. We were learning to tune our violin before school closed. I needed a tuning app so I asked my teacher online about it and she recommended insTunerFree. I decided to give it a go and download it. I downloaded it own my phone and it worked great. So I also downloaded it on my iPad Pro but there was a buggy. The bottom of the screen was black so you couldn’t see the chromatic tuner thingy. For people who I assume are still reading I suggest you to download this on your phone. I’m not sure if it works on other types of iPads but it doesn’t work on the iPad Pro. Until they fix this buggy download this on your phone or you can find some more apps. This is still a amazing app on your phone though. Stay safe during the COVID-19.😷🙃😷(I hope you guys get this buggy fixed soon!)

I downloaded the pay for app based upon an online referral from a site about setting up DIY wind chimes. I've used other tuning apps and found this to be the most helpful. It is smart in distinguishing background noise (much of the work was done in my garage on a not so busy street) from tuning sounds and was able to still give consistent readings. I found the dial along with the frequency reading was very helpful. I still rate this 5 stars despite having some trouble distinguishing the higher pitches. Dead on consistency, graphics, useful info, and ease of use are my biggest factors for giving a 5. 😊

As a harp student, this is a simple and effective way to tune my harp. Easy to use, minimalist vibe, and little to no ads are awesome!
This is a great app, although it does have room for improvement. It is harder to pick up small sounds. If the developer could fix that, it would be awesome!
Overall, this is a great app. Would recommend! Thank you for this amazing app. It is a lifesaver!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Some of these people say they broke their string or instrument using insTunerFree, first of all strings are cheap and easy to replace. Second of all, you should be able to tell whether your instrument needs to be turned up or down, by the musical alphabet. One person said that it was at a D and it was telling them that their A string was in tune on a D. That is technically correct, you can tell whether to tune sharp or flat based on where you need to go. I have loved insTunerFree very much and I hope some people take my opinion into account.

I've only experienced two great tuning apps: Tonal Energy and InsTuner. Only downfall of Tonal Energy is the fact you have to pay around 4 dollars for it. InsTuner is free and it even works as well as TE. I know that there is a paid version of this, but honestly you don't need it. The free version is pretty solid and I love how there are no annoying ads. Most free tuners found in insTunerFree Store are subpar in my opinion because their app produced aren't as well. Would give it 5 stars, but it's occasionally slow when it tries to pick up different pitches that are released quickly.

insTunerFree has a super minimalist interface, offering both tuning and tone generation. It works and looks great while doing it!

The free version doesn't have ads, and the pro version (which adds features like changing pitch, changing the visualization, or note names) can be unlocked with either the $5 in app purchase or a simple sharing on social media.

I've tried other apps on insTunerFree store, but this one takes the cake. It has all the features with a low price tag to boot!

Whenever I Use insTunerFree I notice it takes a while for it to actually read the note and edit. I think it certainly helps and does give feedback of the tune but it could use some work. Sometimes I notice that my 16 year old daughter will use it and have trouble getting her instruments tuned because it takes quite some time for it to give feedback. I hope that you can get this issue fixed. It really is helpful. I’ll give it 4 stars though.

As a new cello student, I have just begun learning how to tune my cello. Before hand, I payed the guitar, but it was consistently out of tune because I couldn’t find a responsive chromatic tuner. I told this to my cello teacher, who suggested insTunerFree, and it made tuning my string instruments significantly easier. It can tune all sorts of string instruments, from harp to ukelele, and it’s quick, responsive, and easy to use. I strongly suggest you buy insTunerFree, it will help you with your music career a lot more than you’d think.

I tried to tune my kalimba I got for a present and this did not help. Me and my mom tried to tune it but insTunerFree did not help at all, it kept saying an A was a F or something like that. Occasionally it got the note right but if it did it said to tune it higher or lower every time. We tried pressing down on the keys on the left or right side and even taking the case off like a review had said. Also I don’t know about phones but on my iPad I can’t see the chromatic tuner thingy, like another review complained about. Overall it was no help at all, and my kalimba is not tuned well. Please make a fix to insTunerFree so you can type in what note you are trying to tune. Thanks.

I’m in a couple of school band functions as well as trying to learn to play some instruments on my own. I’ve used insTunerFree to tune everything from a kettle bell timpani to an alto kalimba. Amazing app, and I’m considering paying for the pro version. A little slow when finding new notes in the scale, but after a few seconds it gets it and rads our accurately. My band teacher also uses insTunerFree along with MetroTimer for our practices. Outstanding download in my opinion.

I like the freedom the insTunerFree provides. It simply allows me to identify the note I’m playing and simply tune up or down to the note I need. I don’t have to put in the type of tuning or go through redundant steps.

It’s quite accurate from what I’ve experienced and enjoy the simply yet effective layout. It makes understanding notes and their relation to one another easy to understand.

I use this tuner for my violin. Whether in class or at home, it does the job well. The only thing is that I wish the tuner would focus on the instrument I play instead of those around me in class. It’s somewhat hard to tune my E-string because it’s so high-pitched and everyone else is tuning too. Other than that, it great!! Highly recommend.

insTunerFree is hands down the best tuner app I've ever used. No annoying ads; an extensive choice of different visuals for your tuning preferences, a selection of various tuning types, and much more. And they only ask that you share insTunerFree on social media to get the full functionality.
insTunerFree is worth the money if you're not prepared to share it online with your friends or followers. Your search ends here; download insTunerFree.

I got insTunerFree to tune my Kalimba. I’ve used it maybe two or three times. Sometimes it’s fine but others it just doesn’t change. I’ll play a C4 and it will tell me it’s a little flat so I’ll adjust them I play the note again and nothing happens. It’s almost like insTunerFree is frozen. I’ll play an E6 to make sure and sure enough there’s no change. I don’t know if insTunerFree keeps freezing or if it just doesn’t like my microphone but given that I use an iPad Pro I doubt it’s the mic

I swear I never, like NEVER write reviews but I just have to for this one so that beginners like me wouldn't waste time downloading useless apps, just download THIS! Best tuner ever I remember the first time I didn't know what tuning was in the first place! I just played the strings and insTunerFree did the all the magic 😍 you just play the string and then insTunerFree tells you whether it needs to be tuned up or tuned down and tells you when it's just perfect! I LOVE insTunerFree SOOOOO MUCH

I'm a beginner bassist and I love insTunerFree so much. I wanted to play the real song and not just the bass line for fun, but I couldn't find it on line. I used the tuner to sing the desired note and it would give me the letter. I would then find it on the chart my teacher gave me. I did this for the entire song! I am so happy I used this tuner to help me out! insTunerFree also tunes a bass perfectly! I would totally recommend insTunerFree to anyone that plays the bass!!🎸👍🏻

insTunerFree was recommended by Amy Nolte Music and I agree with her… The dial which points to each note is very, very helpful and very intuitive to use. You can tune your guitar with it but I have been using it more when I attempt to sing and reach each note accurately the first time… it can become quite a game and I have learned how tone deaf I really am.… Hopefully this little dial and gauge will make me a better singer....

insTunerFree is sooo amazing for the people who use sting instruments. At first, the pictures looked like it didn’t do much help but when I first tried it, it told me exactly how to tune it. It is lit. I don’t even want my hand tuner anymore because of this amazing app. You can tune any string instrument with insTunerFree. Well I have to tune my instrument so...., BYE

I use this to tune my cello every day and it works beautifully! Others in my class use it for violin, viola, and bass, so I can say with certainty it is great for string instruments. insTunerFree is very minimalist but still contains everything you need. It’s extremely easy to read and even someone with little musical knowledge could use this to tune. I definitely recommend it!

I already rated insTunerFree once, but I just had to rate it again because of how amazing it is. It's literally the only tuning app for ukuleles that I've found that works smoothly and does what it says it will. I haven't had a single problem with it. One of my favorite apps because it's insanely simple and designed really nicely. Seriously!!!!!get insTunerFree!!!!!!!

I think that insTuner is amazing nice. My sister downloaded insTuner she didn’t download anything else on her phone. If I ever get a phone the only thing downloaded will be insTuner and my password will be insTuner. If I go to a different country or a different place I will chance my name to insTuner. insTuner is the best thing that ever happened to me!
