Description
Build or true your wheels by sound. Easier and cheaper than handheld tools. Simply pluck a spoke and the tension is shown on the screen.
Save multiple wheels to iCloud and share them among your devices.
Get a visual of your wheel's tension with the 'Wheel Builder' view.
Support for many different spoke sizes, shapes, and materials.
Many mechanical tension gauges have low precision with steps of 10 kgf or more between readings. The app has much higher precision, down to 1 kgf.

Ratings and Reviews
Great idea, well executed
The first caveat is that I can't vouch for absolute tension as I have no manual means of measuring this. However, the tensions this app gave for 'true' wheels were within the expected limits and what it does allow you to do is correct that rogue spoke and balance your wheels. Cool idea.
Tensioner on iPad Air
I've loaded the latest version on my iPad Air and it is fully functional.
Much easier to use than on my ancient iPod Touch.
I haven't used all the new functions yet but it definitely locks onto the spoke tone more accurately.
Great wheel building app.
Doubtful but convinced
I have two physical spoke tension meters but have retired them in favour of this app. The app is able to measure a wider range of spoke types and is more consistent in repeated measurements. I set up a test weight on a single spoke and the app tested spot on.
