About GuitarTuna
GuitarTuna is a tuning and playing app built around a fast, accurate microphone-based tuner for guitar and other string instruments. It uses your device's mic with sound-recognition and noise-cancellation technology to give instant visual feedback so you can get in tune in seconds, no cables required. Over time it has grown into an all-in-one companion for tuning, playing songs, and practicing. Beyond tuning, GuitarTuna supports more than 15 instruments and 100+ tunings, including standard, Drop D, Open G, DADGAD, half-step-down, plus bass and ukulele setups. It includes a metronome, a chord library with diagrams and audio, a chord finder, an ear trainer, and customizable chord games. It also offers guitar tabs and chords for thousands of songs that sync as you play, along with video tutorials and personalized feedback. GuitarTuna is aimed at beginners through working musicians who want quick tuning and casual practice without structured lessons. It is available on iOS, Android, and the web. The tuner and basic tools are free, with a subscription (GuitarTuna Pro) unlocking premium songs, tutorials, and extra tools on a freemium model.
About Tunable
Tunable is a tuning, metronome, and recording app built for steady, accurate practice. Its standout feature is a visual tuner that draws a moving trail of your pitch over time, making it easy to see whether you are holding a note in tune rather than just hitting it for an instant. The app combines that tuner with a clear metronome and a recorder, so a player can check intonation, lock in time, and capture a take from one place. The pitch-history display is especially useful for wind, brass, string, and vocal students working on sustaining stable, in-tune tones. Tunable is aimed at students, ensemble players, and teachers who want a focused intonation and timing tool. It runs on iOS and Android and is a paid app; pricing is a one-time purchase that varies by store and platform.
