Tunepal

Useful app at sessions. It doesn’t always find the right tune, but I wouldn’t expect it to. The accuracy is pretty darn good though. Really happy the app was finally updated and now works offline! I also like that the app does not collect any personal data…all apps should be that way.

This is a great app, but a lot of times it returns tunes that are obviously not right, or even in the same time signature. I wish there was a way to narrow search results on the "record" page, like a little button for time signature or tune type or key, and it would only return results in those parameters.

It used to work but the last update was 5 years ago. It crashes when I try to record, when I press on the preferences, when I press on the map, when I try to save a tune to my list. Luckily, saving to my list works after I re-open the app, but it had to crash before I can do that. Maybe new iOS upgrades have rendered this app obsolete?

This is such a useful app for finding Irish tune names in a session (or even out of your head, if you can play a snippet of the tune on an instrument but can’t recall the title). It does have frequent back-end outages, which prevents tune name lookups and is annoying. It will save them as “Unsubmitted tags” that you can upload later for ID. But by then the moment is usually gone. Hopefully the developer can remedy this issue. Would even be worth a small annual subscription ($5-10) if more money

But then I bought the HD version for .99 cents and it works just fine. 😉 Definitely worth another buck. I’ve had this app for many years on many devices.
