The Snail App Reviews

I like the concept and sisplay modes, but in practice it seems to not “hear” or detect very well especially with guitar or uke when there is a little background sound. In fairness, other iOS tuners seem to struggle with this as well.

The ability to tune multiple instruments at once and pin point the frequencies of sound we would not normally be able to discern as pitches is incredible. What brings this app down, however, is that it does not retain settings after closing and does app does not reorient when the device is turned sideways or upside down.

Yay! It works again!

Now that it is fully functional on iOS 15 it is once again my favorite tuner.

Used it for years. Was bummed out when it stopped working on recent versions of iOS but they finally fixed it. It’s a brilliantly clever way to view frequencies as you can see the harmonics of your instrument or voice as well. It’s also available as a VST plugin and I use it with Gig Performer to tune my guitar during a show.

Ok, I downloaded there recent update and everything is working again! Thank you. This is a great audio app for tuning guitar and also nice to let it listen to a song and show you the fundamental bass notes, or on a solo instrument, each note. Also kind useful for pitch training and developing your ‘ear’. Good work IRCAM.

I’m giving this a 3-star review only because it is the average between the 5 stars when it works and the 1 star when it needs to be updated. This was my FAVORITE tuner by far, so sophisticated, but now it just crashes. Please keep this updated so it works with current iOS. It is so good when it works.

Love this app, IOS 15 update! 😘

AW YEA THE BEST APP ON THE APP STORE IS BACK!!! Thank you all for fixing it!!!

I have this app as a VST on my computer and it’s part of my workflow. However, in a twist, it doesn’t work well here. It worked the first time I opened it, but every time since, the app doesn’t accept any sound in. The only use that comes out of it is the sine wave played as your finger travels around the interface. Expected a bit better but there is still use to be had
