UltraTuner - Chromatic Tuner
UltraTuner is precise to a 1/100th of a cent, far beyond human perception of pitch. In fact, it’s 10 times more accurate than a mechanical strobe tuner (considered the “gold standard” of tuners). UltraTuner’s accurate pitch detection is achieved through a proprietary dual-analysis processing engine, which allows it to get a much more accurate reading of the frequency from the incoming note than most other tuners. UltraTuner’s fast response makes tuning a mechanical instrument a breeze. Its extreme precision also makes it the perfect app tuner for intonating stringed instruments like guitar or bass, as well as for calibrating electronic instruments like vintage synths.
UltraTuner’s speed and precision provides players and engineers with a pocket-sized professional instrument tuner that’s always with them. It offers two basic modes of operation: Stage and Studio.
Stage Mode
When in Stage mode, UltraTuner is a straightforward, ultra-accurate instrument tuner featuring a unique, simple interface that’s easy to see in low-light conditions. It features a graduated flat and sharp display to indicate degrees from pitch. When the note is in tune, the display turns green. UltraTuner utilizes the entire device screen for tuning, so it is easily visible from a distance on dimly lit stages.
Studio Mode
In Studio mode, UltraTuner provides wave visualization that gives a qualitative feedback of the pitch deviation as a simple right/left motion of the real waveform of your instrument. A flat note will move the waveform to the left, while a sharp note will move it to the right. A note whose pitch is dead center is represented by a still waveform. Additionally, by simply tapping on the main studio display, it’s possible to switch to the pitch-tracking visualisation.
The pitch tracking visualisation allows players to monitor pitch over time. This is especially useful in the studio for monitoring pitch of non-chromatic instruments like vocals, violin and brass etc., on recordings over time, and very useful for vocal and instrument pitch training.
Fast calibration
In the settings window, players can quickly calibrate the “A” note, set the temperament type, set the root key for tracking and adjust the audio sensitivity. UltraTuner can use the device’s built-in microphone for audio input, and works with all analog or digital audio interfaces for Android devices, like IK’s iRig 2, iRig HD-A, iRig STOMP, iRig Mic, iRig MIC HD-A, iRig Mic Studio, iRig Mic Cast, iRig PRE and iRig.
UltraTuner features:
• Innovative engine that allows responsiveness and high accuracy (+/
- 0.01 cent)
• Dual modes: Stage and Studio
• Large tuning indication visible at a distance (Stage mode)
• Tuning history to see tuning variations over time (Studio mode)
• Useful not only for tuning, but also for non-chromatic instrument training

It both does not work in studio mode and spoil your phone. Then you have to restart it to be able to use your phone.
Great for guitar maybe, trash for piano. All it can do is pick up mid range.
Payed 8 dollars... then, it didn't work at all. Do not buy this app!!!
Please update for Android 10
Its nice to have
This is a pretty good tuner app. I've only used it with the Stage Tuner mode, though. One big gripe I have is the lack of an "EXIT" button or something. The Tuner grabs hold of the microphone and doesn't let it go, making it impossible to use Google Now or other apps that require microphone use. Please fix this. Either let the microphone go when the app is running in the background, or add some way to easily exit out of the app.
I bought the app yesterday and spent more than an hour trying to get it to work. Nothing about it made sense and no matter what I tried, I was unable to tune my guitar using the app. (I have iRig 2 installed on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and it works just fine.) Finally I gave up and wrote to the developer asking for a refund because the app does not work. Their reply was they would call me back within 2 minutes. This was more than 12 hours ago and they still have not contacted me in any way - not to mention they still have my money. Buyer Beware. This is just a scam. The app is crap and they are not a reputable company. All they seem to be interested in is taking your money and leaving you high and dry. I would never buy anything else from IK Multimedia US, LLC.
The sweet part is that it is an excellent App. The sour part is that unfortunately it doesn't work with my Samsung Note 4. So I contacted IK and they gave me kind advice but that also did not help. If I remember right, I did not get a re-fund.
HTC One M9 - nothing works as it was advertised. It cannot even detect that E3 and A strings are resonating. I will see if I can ask for my 8$ back!!! As much as I like Amplitude, I hate this tuner. And there are so many free tuners working much better. Actually, this one doesn't work at all. I only bought it to tune when guitar is plugged in via USB. But that is when nothing works!
Own a note 4 with HD-A and doesn't work with direct plug through usb. Should say in description before you buy it, not after you purchase it and are out $5.
Happy with the app. but not happy it keeps using the Mic when the app has been closed. app was closed running in the back ground to save memory but still pops up saying Ultratuner is using the Mic when I've not opened it...
I have a galaxy s7 and an irig2. This tuner works perfectly for me, either plugged in through the irig (which is why I got it) or using the phone's mic.
This is a pretty serious tuner. Use it for guitar and vox, which helps me practice my singing and stay in pitch. Would like to see other guitar tunings like open g, dropped d etc
I just bought this not even 5 minutes ago and it won't even launch. Waste of 5 dollars.
Doesn't recognize when irig UA is plugged in.
This is a great tuner! Just get it!
bought it months ago and it's never worked
I tune pianos as well. Tried sensitivities several times and didn't work as well as other apps. I have other IK software, but I didn't find this useful to me. I got a refund on it. #1 is just not useful. Read all their reviews. I've tuned band instruments with scope and practiced with that. Hope to find a program that works for me.
Go buy a tuner off Amazon this app doesn't work.
With a radio show, I can't afford anything but the best tuner. This is it..... IK all the way!
Bad bad bad. Only works on old versions of android. It's way of chart, even when when using a mic against the strings.
