I bought the app about a month ago and have really enjoyed using it for my tuning work. Once I learned the basic controls, it's been very easy to use. However today for some reason the pitch raise feature just wouldn't work. I've used it a few times before with excellent results, but today after I selected pitch raise, entered the sample notes, and pressed the "start pitch raise" button, the app defaulted to just standard pitch tuning. I tried it three times, but with the same result each time.

unexpected excellence--RPT for 49 years before I tried ETD software. With proper tuning lever technique by me, this app gets unisons as pure as I can aurally. By the end of the tuning on a high quality piano, we agreed on the stretch, too. The biggest advantage is that this app shows changes immediately (faster and more accurately than aural checks) when a wire slips while I am working. The results remained accurate for every note on the piano. Edited

This is a fantastic tuner! I have reconditioned and tuned pianos for decades. The only tuning aid I had ever used was a StroboConn (which will give you an idea of how many decades :-). This tool did a nice job. I wanted to stretch more, but I actually like this result. One question that I have is the pattern of the partials on the strobe. From my StroboConn I expect the upper partials to rotate clockwise relative to the fundamental because they are sharp. On piano meter they go ccw. Why?

I had zero piano tuning experience. But after reading the Help session carefully and some patience, I tuned my upright Schimmel today. The piano was out of tune badly since it hasn't been tuned for 10 years. Now it sounds great. I use the upgraded plus version. The app is amazing. It can figure out the equal temperament curve for your piano and next just tune each key to the curve. I believe that in the high and low range, the app is a lot easier and more accurate than an amatuer ear.

I'm a piano technician and have used a variety of different tuning software. This was my most recent purchase and it has become my new default ETD. Overall the app reminds me most of Verituner, in ease of use and quality of tunings, though Verituner's needle is snappier and more stable. (EDIT: The latest update to this app seems to have sped up the needle to the point where I couldn't say which is better.) I prefer this to TuneLab, which I have to futz with to get a decent tuning in the tenor. This seems to tune decently pure 12ths, and I trust it more than the black box of Tunic OnlyPure. No comparison with Entropy, which is clunky and requires you to laboriously measure all 88 notes before you begin. Compared to Accutuner the response is probably slightly slower, which is true for all tuning software. Cybertuner I haven't experimented with as much, as I haven't been able to bring myself to shell out $1000 plus $80/year for a few extra bells and whistles. Overall for the money I'd say this is the best value, so long as you don't need to grade RPT tuning exams.

Thank you for the review. We recently released an update that significantly improves the response time of the "strobe" wheels to changes in pitch.
