Pros and cons of iStroboSoft app for iPhone and iPad

iStroboSoft app good for

This tuner is really great and precise! To use it at best you have to be in a quiet room though. I really enjoy the "cents" feature to be as accurate as possible. My only wish was that the Peterson strobo clip had that feature as well! You can also personalize the tuner with different color themes, change the key of the tuner, and so much more! I highly recommend this tuner for any serious musician who has a good ear!

Perfect. Now I have my tuner always in my pocket. Only 4 stars cause of a popup concerning low memory.

Great! Finally the best tuner ever is now available for the iPhone.

Simply the best, most accurate tuner on the planet, where ever and when ever you need - love it!

Before using the iStroboSoft, you may think that it is just a tuner that does its job. In fact it is a high precision tool that can be used also in instrument making. Its accuracy is so high that you really need to rethink how to adjust your instrument. I love it

Actual Peterson strobe tuners cost hundreds or sometimes a thousand dollars. For ten bucks you cant beat this. Its very responsive and the sound isolation feature is something I havent seen on many tuners.

Some bad moments

I have the pedal version and the iPhone version. iPhone version doesnt have sweetened tunings. Thats annoying. Dont find the iPhone app to be any more accurate or easier to use than other tuning apps I have. So I dont use it even though I bought it. Do use the pedal though. Wish Peterson would stop crippling the iPhone version and match functionality with the pedal. Its not like Im going to drag the pedal around with me all the time like I do my phone. Thats the whole point, guys.

So I bought this app a while back. Then it stopped working so I went to delete it then re-download it, hoping for the problem to be fixed. This usually fixes any app problems. Normally, iTunes remembers which apps you have previously purchased, so why is iTunes attempting to charge me for an app Ive already paid for?

Why is this app not working on my 5s? Just goes black screen, wont load.

All packs are 38 dollars and full discount 59.99? U crazy! Two star just for that greed u have.

Has always been the best iPhone tuner on market by far. Ive actually recorded bands records tuning with this thing. All of the sudden, now it wont pick up on my unplugged electric guitar. Will not tune it. I will try plugging in tomorrow, but this has never been a problem in the past.

I purchased this app and the download for the steel guitar sweeteners. The preset I wanted to use was SE9. The Es on this preset should be 9.8 cents sharp. But they are 17 cents flat. Ive verified this with two other tuners. The user cant program their on presets. While the app seems to work it doesnt work for the application I purchased it for. So I cant recommend it for steel guitar. There are better and cheaper apps that can be programmed by the user.
