Violin Multi-Tuner

I just got my violin outfit the other day. It came with a chromatic tuner, but thanks to this app, I haven’t even bothered with it. This app is very easy to use and I especially love how when you tap one of the strings, it holds the note, so you don’t have to keep putting the violin down to tap the screen again. The very first time using this app, about 10 minutes after getting my new violin, I had it tuned in under a minute. I remember with my old violin, I used a different tuning app that was frustrating. A helpful note that the app doesn’t tell you: when tuning your violin, the first selection you see, “GDAE”, is the standard tuning for a violin.

The tuner is nice but my favorite feature is the ability to confirm that I’m playing the correct note. Not sure what mode it’s called but it shows a picture of a violin neck and shows you what and where you just played a note. Very helpful for me.

I got this when I first started playing the violin 2 years ago. As I’ve grown and learned more about playing the fiddle and about music in general I’ve discover that, “oh! This app has that on it too!’

I absolutely love this app and have used it everyday for the last two years. It helps me with tuning, understanding of notes on the fingerboard and even my intonation when playing. The most recent upgrades including the 5-string violin feature are most welcome. My only complaint is that the most recent upgrade makes it impossible to track intonation while playing - a feature I have used daily. The graphical output of playing a few notes is delayed up to 5 seconds whereas the older version graphed intonation at the speed I played. Still, this is best violin app that I have found. Well done!

I am a new student of the Violin less than a year. This app for tuning a violin is not intuitive. It's too complicated.
