"My most indispensable app is my guitar tuner, Cleartune. None of the old visual or analog tuners are as precise. I've even taken it on stage with me!" - Rosanne Cash
"Cleartune and Clockwork are my most used apps." - Ezra Oklan (Nicole Atkins, Norah Jones, Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, Matt Beck (Matchbox 20), Chico Hamilton, Arnie Lawrence)
"I've been having trouble with interference on stage with other tuners for the iPhone. Used Cleartune last night before a gig and had no problems with stage noise. Excellent tuner for bass." - Rob Calder (Kanye West, Angus and Julia Stone, The Break and Repair Method, Ghostface Killah)
Used in the making of the Gorillaz album "The Fall"

Cleartune is a chromatic instrument tuner and pitch pipe that allows you to quickly and accurately tune your instrument using the built-in mic in your device.
Cleartune features a unique "note wheel" interface allowing you to quickly find your pitch, paired with a highly responsive fine-tuning meter for the perfect tune.
With support for custom temperaments, transposition, notations such as solfège, and adjustable calibration, Cleartune packs more power than most pro tuners, yet is simple enough for everyone to use.
Cleartune can tune acoustic or electric guitar, bass, bowed strings, woodwinds, brass, piano, tympani and any other instrument that can sustain a tone.
Most electronic tuners cannot properly tune a violin. With a built in temperament for violin family instruments, Cleartune will have the 5ths singing perfectly.
Features:
- Note Wheel Display
- Ultra responsive 25 cent range fine tuning display
- Needle Damping option
- Accuracy ±0.01 semitone (±1 cent)
- Selectable Temperaments
- Selectable Notations (such as Solfège)
- User-defined temperament and notations
- Support for transposing instruments
- Automatic reference note calibration
- Adjustable A4 calibration in 0.1 Hz increment
- Pitch Pipe/Tone generator
- Selectable tone waveform
- Automatic or manual note selection
Over the past few decades of tuning guitars: during gigs, all my students's guitars, in my studio for myself and clients, I've used a range of tuners. Clear Tune made a noticeable difference in my recordings as well - the green OK "good enough" signal in many tuning apps ignores the 5% either side of zero, so when I got Clear Tune, the extra percentage meter made a big difference. I've been holding off from updating my phone, knowing Clear Tune and another fave app will stop working with the latest iOS updates. I wish the app makers would update it. Interestingly, since getting an iPhone 6S Plus, the performance of Clear Tune has reduced slightly. Could just be part of the manufacturer's deliberate software throttling of older phones.
Great tuner app!

Makes tuning super easy - even for a beginner! But seems to have a heap of features that would be valuable for more advanced users, but these don't get in the way.
A great tool for open cord tuning

This is a great little ap that does everything I want for far less than the price of an electronic tuner. It's very sensitive, accurate and simply to use with a cute dampened needle interface. Nothing beats final tuning by ear, but this is great to quickly set the strings. I use a lot of open cord tunings so its been invaluable.
Worked well until recently

The Cleartune App was great until the most recent update (as of 30 June 2020). After latest update it’s gotten slow to a point that I cannot tune my violin anymore. I’m running latest iOS on iPhone 6s Plus. I have tried contacting the support via email form on their website, but when hitting ‘Send’ button, I’ve received internal server error. Not being able to contact the developer doesn’t add extra confidence. Hope the issue can be resolved, then I would be happy to give 5 stars.
Support for latest device resolutions
No latency switching between tuner and pitch pipe
Corrected autolock handling on certain iOS versions
Improved filtering and noise rejection
Added unlock button in pitch pipe to allow arbitrary frequency selection
Fixed incorrect octave being displayed with certain instruments
Version 2.3
