I have only used this a few days. I am flutist, and I just recently purchased a $100 Boss tuner so I could work on accuracy of pitch. I couldnt believe a $.99 app could be as effective. Boy, am I surprised. It is just as accurate. I like the fact that I can also see a representation of how loud/soft the note is, because part of my process right now is to decrescendo on a note without losing pitch..quite difficult to learn.
I would have given this 5 stars, except for four things:
1. The box that moves back and forth to indicate flat/sharp seems erratic in its movement, so I find it distracting.
2. The numbers that tell you % flat/sharp are so far from center, as to require too much eye movement to see them.. So again, distraction rather than help.
3. I often work on octaves, since this is set up to work on the frequency of the pitch, it has to roll across 7 notes to get to the next octave and the note names at the top spin across and I find that distracting, too.
4. No help option. I wish I understood the peaking waves at the bottom better. Or at least, no OBVIOUS help button.
To overcome the distraction, I usually set up both my Boss tuner and this one when I want to work on pitch.
Over all, its totally worth the purchase, and is a good way to work on pitch without a big expense. If you are just starting out, try it before spending a lot of money on the other ones.
