Best Tuner hands down!
This is the easiest to use and most accurate tuner.
The tuner can tune any instrument including guitars, basses, and just about any other string or horn instrument.
This tuner is so accurate! It beats the other tuners hands down!
fixed
After update, this app had an issue on ipad 4. The developers responded and fixed the problem immediately. I cannot imagine ever using any of the other tuners I have looked at on the app store. Nice big display available so I can read all the data and info from a distance.
Great Tuner, Great Support, Great Potential
I play music in multi temperaments and just intonation and was looking for a versatile tuner with custom presets and a tone generator and tested a number of them. I think this is the most accurate of them all. I had a couple of questions for the development team and was met with very prompt and courteous help and was asked for my “wish list” of features i’d like to see added to the app. Overall very worthwhile purchase.
The best tuner of all!
Put away that Snark, Rhino and get this!
Tune me in
Best tuner I've come across so far!

Vital Tuner is user friendly!!
Needs an update
Needs an update to play nicely with iPhone X’s. Really a nice tuner though
Excellent for keyboard instruments
This app is accurate, easy to use, and will work for any instrument. It is particularly useful for players of keyboard instruments who want to tune in something other than equal temperament. The app offers the largest number of historical tunings I have seen anywhere, and they are well researched and documented.
Sweetened Tuning
I have struggled with getting my guitar in tune with traditional tuners and have really bought into the whole James Taylor sweetened tuning approach. Not until I got this app with an iRig 2 have I found a practical, reasonably fast way to tune with sweetened tuning live. I am very pleased! Highly recommend all of the above.
Replaced my dedicated tuner
It seems to work at least as well as my dedicated tuner. I drop my phone onto my monitor and it picks up my guitar fine like that. Sweeter tunings and custom offsets are nice because I tend to tweak things that way.
To be taken with a grain of salt
Looking at it from my perspective, I’m not an avid players of my guitar, but I enjoy it and want to learn it more than my basic knowledge. But reading through reviews of other tuning apps was like mini-horror stories. So I dropped the one time purchase for this app and after just finishing using it must say I am happy with the seeming effectiveness of it as well as it’s simplicity to use
Great tuner!
I really like this tuner. It seems very accurate, and the features and versatility are great! The main reason I wanted this app was to explore sweeter tunings and specifically use it for “James Taylor” tuning. But I can’t figure out how to set up the custom offsets correctly. How can I have a different offset for the high and low “E” strings on a guitar? Is that even possible or would I have to just do it manually for one of the “e” strings.
Historical Temperaments
One of the reasons I bought this app is that it has many historical temperaments built-in. I play the lute whose moveable frets allow one to adjust the tempering for individual pieces. I usually play in 1/6 comma meantone temperament, in which some of the enharmonic equivalents - for example G# and Ab - are VERY different notes. Unfortunately, VITALTuner only shows one of these and I have to tune the other by ear. It’s a good tool for those of us exploring early music, but not quite there yet. (
