Cello Tuner Simple

“Dad, I need a tuning app. My cello is off by two fingers.” “Uh, this look ok?” [showing him the app on my phone] “Will you be able to figure it out.” “Yes, I think so.” I downloaded the app, handed the phone to my son, and left to take care of some things. In minutes, he was playing again. He says it was easy. Clearly worth the $0.99.

I am a young cello tutor and was simply looking for something to tune just the four strings. I have tried other tuners and they are complicated to work. With this tuner I can use my ear to patch the pitch and it works great. Even though it cause $0.99 it is the best money I have ever spent on an app. I would definitely recommend this app for anyone who needs to tune their cello often. Overall a great cello tuner app!

It was hard to rate this application as I think it's actually not super useful but it does what it states. I was looking for a cello tuning application similar to some guitar tuning applications where it detects a note as you play the string and tells you if it's too high or too low. This does not do that. It basically just plays a note on your phone and you have to match the sound and adjust the pegs yourself. It's debatable whether it's worth $.99 but I understand the developers need to earn a living. This would be useful for people learning cello without any other instrument at home to provide you a reference note. We have a mini grand piano at home so that isn't what was needed for us and probably will not be using this unless we need to tune it out on the road. I guess maybe that could be a useful case if you needed to play a note and you're somewhere where you don't have access to another instrument.
