Its the most powerful tool youve ever had in your pants! You know ... for tuning. That said, this is one of those nuggets on the App store you cannot afford to miss if you value being in tune and you take your smartphone with you when you go places. Yes to both? Then its a no-brainer!

- Tune all strings at once! Just strum your guitar, and see the pitch of all strings instantly.
- Guitar/bass mode
- Drop-tunings
- 1:1 port of the award-winning PolyTune pedal (Guitar Player, Guitar World, Premier Guitar, MIPA, NAMM Best in Show 2010, etc.)
- Based one the world’s best selling pedal tuner used by countless pros such as Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Steve Morse, Orianthi and many more!

PolyTune is the worlds first polyphonic tuner that will have future guitarists wondering how we ever got by without it.

The magic lies in a never before seen approach to tuning aimed at speed, accuracy and ease of use, which allows you to get in tune fast, and back to doing what you love: playing.

The PolyTune iPhone app is a 1:1 port of the award-winning PolyTune pedal tuner, and PolyTune for iPhone delivers exactly the same features and tuning technology as the pedal version. The pedal version is the fastest way to tune on-stage, whereas the iPhone app is the fastest and most convenient way to tune off-stage.

Specifications:
- Reference pitch from 435Hz to 445Hz
- Drop tuning from E-flat to B
- 0.5 cent accuracy
- 2 chromatic tuning modes: Needle and Stream
- MonoPoly recognizes whether one or several strings are played at once

Pros and cons of PolyTune app for iPhone and iPad

PolyTune app good for

It works in every situation, even with 12-string guitars... Very useful when playing live, too, even if the pedal is a better choice :) No more time wasted tuning! Strum, tune, rock. Nothing can be more true!
Hey TC ! Your app is great, but I think its time to update it for iPhone 5-6. The old look with iPhone 4 widescreen looks old on iPhone 5...
Just like the hardware version... but FREE!!! Yippeee!! Thanks TC!
A musicians dream come true. Works flawlessly and is extremely precise and fast.
Super cool! I tuned my electric in seconds and Im a beginner learner!
If you think this is great, try the actual pedal, or the G-System. TC makes some incredible things for musicians of all kinds. Great Job with this tuner! My collection of TC equipement will keep growing!

Some bad moments

Tuning problems Not accurate anymore Tuning all strings at once works fine also with IOS7.4 Great app
Has a tendency to switch between strum and individual strings too easily. It is easily confused by background noise in live situation (for tuning an acoustic guitar with a microphone). But worst of all, it is not very accurate even in one string at a time mode. I can easily hear the string being sharp or flat while this software will show it as perfectly tuned. It sort of "locks-in" when nearing dead center even though Im not touching the adjust key anymore... The strum feature is nice as a novelty but not accurate enough to get your guitar or bass perfectly in tune, so not worth $10. I will continue to use Peterson Strobesoft which is far more precise for the same price.
Im not sure why so many people like this product. Is it possible that I received a dud download. I own 8 guitars and this app will not tune the bottom E string on any of them. I even plugged my guitar in the earphone jack with an adapter and it didnt work any better. Another $5. rotten apple core!
Adapter Cable for iPod touch and iPhone 税込2,100 だそうです これを合わせれば他のチューナーは要りませんね 実に良くできた製品だとおもいます
PolyTune cant work correctly with my iPhone 5c and Line 6 Sonic Port.
Responds extremely slow. Not built yet for an iPhone 6 Plus. Not nearly usable for a pro guitar player. Skip and go with Cleartune instead.
