SteadyTune 4+

At first I thought I got ripped off because it wouldnt open. It does open, but i use a dark heme on my mac, so I didnt see the icon at top at first (duh me). So far it is working great. I havent tried to use it to intonate yet, but it has many options and was well worth the $7. Im giving it 4 stars for now but if it works well for intonating my gear, i will give it a five. If you're having issues, make sure and select your instrument. It seems they have an algo that takes some slight buzz into account (both hiss and fret). Great job on this though - thanks guys!

One feature I'd recommend for guitar is 6 string in drop C tuning as its being used widely in metalcore - I do love all the options you have for 7 string (those are useful to me as well), but only standard tuning for 6 string is a bummer, although the 'Every Note' option is very useful.

UPDATE: With 3 monitors, it turns out SteadyTune will only load and work from the primary monitor, and that was why I couldn't invoke it from the other monitors. Plus, the app is 5 years old. Come on, Devs! This is a great tuner, so update it.

Original review:
Like many people, I too had problems getting SteadyTune to work correctly. I’m using macOS Mojave, running 3 monitors each with multiple screens. There are two problems that I and other people have encountered: 1) can’t see the menubar icon, and 2) the tuner window doesn’t load.

Problem 1: apparently SteadyTune issn’t compatible with Mojave’s dark mode. Look closely and you’ll see it. It become visible when you click it.

Problem 2: I solved the tuner window not showing up problem by simply closing and reopening the app until it loaded.

Hopefully this information will be helpful to others. I contacted tech support three times and never received a reply, which is a shame because SteadyTune is really a fantastic tuner. I’ll give 5 stars when the app becomes compatible with dark mode and is more consistent when loading.

This tuner looks great and it works as advertised. I own also own a Korg Sledgehammer Pro and a few Snarks. The Korg is more accurate than the Snarks. I did a quick test tuning my acoustic and SteadyTune is as accurate as the Korg, a pleasant surprise. My only complaints are also suggestions. First, In dark mode, the menu bar icon is barely visible. To the developers, please fix soon…I’m pretty sure a lot of us are using Dark Mode on our Macs. Second, it would nice to be able to detach the app window so I can move it to another screen while using a dual monitor setup.
