Tunable: Music Practice Tools

★★★★★ Absolutely perfect tuner for my needs. I am a professional double bassist and this app is great for tuning before rehearsals and to use while practicing. It's great that you're able to use the metronome and tuner simultaneously and the visual feedback is immediate. And when you're taking your practice seriously, there's even an audio recorder feature. Highly recommended for classical musicians. Worth the spare change

★★★★★ Read about this app on Harp Column while trying to get the old ChromAharP I found at an antique store year ago (and was lost in storage for almost as many!) tuned up! Tunable has continued to be consistent in function for checking the tuning on both my old ChromAharP and my new d'Aigle Tahoma autoharp which was pretty much pitch perfect upon delivery! Thank you to all who put together this easy to use tuning app - Go Tunable!

★★★★★ Tunable is the best tuner, bar none. I play trombone professionally and I use it daily. "You can tune a trombone, but you can't tuna fish!"

★★☆☆☆ Sadly this app has become completely unusable for me. The metronome "crackles" the entire time, and I've tried a bunch of different sounds/settings to see if some do or don't, but no matter what settings I've tried, it's not doing the job I PAID for it to do. Samsung Galaxy S8. -- The other issue I have with it is that it appears designed for tablets, and I use on my phone. The controls for changing the tempo for the metronome are very hard to use. The "slider" doesn't stay in one place, so it's hard to get the exact tempo, and the +/- buttons are so tiny it's more likely I'll pull down the notification bar instead of changing the tempo.

★★☆☆☆ Perhaps because I'm only an amateur, traditional musician, if I can be called a musician at all, I found the software unusable and have uninstalled it. My professional field is the psychology of good design, often called "human factors". Usually, when software is trying to replace hardware, in this case an instrument tuner, unless there is some obvious reason not to do it, the basic mode of the software should be at least as approachable as the basic mode of the corresponding hardware device. Otherwise, the user is faced with a learning curve of unknown size before the software even begins to be usable. That is the case here: I own a couple of older Korg tuners, and it was almost immediately obvious how to use them. But the same is not true of Tunable. I have spent what feels like a long time studying and playing with the display, trying to work out what it is trying to tell me and why. Unfortunately I'm none the wiser for the time I've spent. As I said at the start, perhaps the software is intended to be used only by a trained, professional musician, something I am certainly not. But I know that I would not recommend it to anyone who cannot look at the display and within a few seconds get the desired information from it.
