What Pitched Tuner is
Pitched Tuner is a chromatic tuner and pitch pipe for Android and iOS that uses a device microphone to tune instruments. Its hands-free mode can move through all strings without a screen tap between them. The Android app includes chromatic tuning and an instrument mode with standard tunings and automatic or manual note selection. For tuning by ear, users can choose a note, octave and instrument type, then play a reference tone continuously. Settings include microphone sensitivity, reference pitch adjustments away from 440 Hz, note naming, instrument transposition, accidental notation and light or dark themes. A pitch chart shows changes over time and is described as useful for checking singers’ note consistency or practicing vibrato. Purchases can transfer to devices under the same store account, but licenses do not transfer between Android and iOS. The maker describes the app as suitable for beginners and experienced musicians, naming guitar, violin, cello and bass among supported instruments.
