PolyTune App Reviews

I have a TC Electronic Polytune pedal. I love it. Best tuner ever. Based on my experience with this, I purchased the Polytune for iPhone app. Put simply... It is useless. I have used several audio interfaces... The Line6 Mobile In, the Line6 Sonicport, and the iRig, and the Polytune apps simply will not go from poly to mono mode. In poly mode, I simply get a lights show. The lights bear no relationship to the guitars output. I want an refund.

Cant recognize pitches anymore on a 5s. Devs stopped updating years ago. Dont buy!

Great tuner when u are on the go. Or Im between small gigs and need a quick tune. Fantastic job TC. Even if ur just lounging around and get lazy with tuning by ear, this app is great for any acoustic guitar situation.

I recommend the Peterson app instead.

TC Electronics-- please update this app! You havent touched it since 2010!! This app is pretty good, but its not nearly as sensitive to low volumes as other tuning apps. I constantly have trouble with the high E string. I have to literally get the tuner right next to my acoustic to make that string work. Other than that, its a solid tuner.

Its crap! Useless! It wont tune my Fretless Bass Low E! It should be 0.99 cents. Seriously this is a rip off.

I just cannot begin to say how thrilled I am with this tuner. I find it incredibly accurate. Thanks TC!

Ive been using the PolyTune pedals since they came out. They track guitar fast and make tuning on stage a breeze. For many years Ive also been using other guitar pedals, like the Boss TU-12 (which has a microphone), to tune saxophone and flute. So I thought this app would be good to use for my wind students. But it doesnt track wind instruments very well. Maybe its expecting the instrument to be plugged in (maybe with an iRig interface?), and therefore the sensitivity is too low for just pointing a sound at the iPhone or iPad. In any case, the simple "eTuner" app does the job much better, with no fooling around trying to get closer to the IOS device. I hope TC Electronic takes a look at the various ways people might want to use this app, and make some changes to it. On the whole, their products are some of the best.

Dont forget to allow "Microphone" in Privacy settings.

No update since 2010. If someone is paying 9 bucks you all can keep it updated. This is just poor service.

I buy 0.99$. Cool app but should have tune ukulele.

I used to love using this app, but it hasnt been updated for newer phones. It really doesnt even work well with the new phone mics. An update please

Used to work great, best iPhone tuner. Also drains battery if you dont kill the app after use. Please fix, it really is the best!

Its a good general tuner in the needle mode and is accurate using it. The stream mode isnt as accurate as something like the Sonic Research ST series strobe tuner. The strobe seems to lock in at a range of pitches and wont move until you really go out of tune. The PolyTune function triggers low on almost all strings even after you tune using the needle mode. Lastly, for some reason it will not track the low E string. Its probably worth the $5. Im glad I didnt spend the $99 on the real stomp box version.

Great app! Would give 5 stars if there was an update. iPad version would be nice. It runs very glitchy on my iPad Air 2 and in the wrong resolution on my 5s.

I expected a lot more from this tuner. As I suspected it does not work in polyphonic mode. Thats OK, but I did expect it to work when plucking single strings. But this tuner performs worse than many free tuners. Stick with Pitch Lab for free.

It needs an Update. Its still optimized for iphone4 and its not recognizing pitches properly. I have three real polytune so, its not user error. Please update the app or give me a refund. Im happy to continue buying tcs physical products but this app is a huge let down.

Worth every penny! You can strum all the strings and tune them that way or do one at a time. It knows the difference, you dont have to change any settings. Genius!

Please update it to match the iphone 5/5s resolution. (Oh!! my god, app last update 2010…)
