PitchLab Guitar Tuner (LITE) for Android
PitchLab PRO now available: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.musician.tuner
Unique features help you work out the chords to new tunes, visualize the pitch and consistency of the human voice, violin or other instrument, or answer the questions "what notes am I humming", "what are those chords", "am I hitting all the notes in tune", "is my vibrato consistent" etc. Select from a list of common instrument tunings or quickly create and manage your own using the built-in tuning editor.
Five separate visualization modes:
1) Instrument: Combination radial strobe and string/note indicators for easy instrument tuning. Includes a database of common tunings for Guitar, Violin/Fiddle, Mandolin, Ukulele, Banjo, Bouzouki and Pedal Steel, plus a built-in editor for up to 100 user-defined instrument tunings.
2) Dial & Strobe: Combination dial tuner and innovative linear strobe for rapid and extremely accurate hands-free instrument tuning (this linear strobe is a genuine implementation of the strobe-tuner concept, not a decorative imitation).
3) Spectrogram: Scrolling display of live sound analysis, showing the perceived pitch of a wide range of sound types (including human voices and singing).
4) Chords: Grid-based estimation display of common chord types (maj/min, maj7/min7, dom7/dim7), ideal for quickly determining the 'strum along' chords for a tune where the chords are reasonably clear.
5) BigStrobe: A large, single strobe display, optimized for small screen devices.
These visualization modes are easily accessed by swiping the screen left/right or by pressing & holding the tuner display to get a pop-up view selection menu. User-selectable options are accessed via the MENU button or the pop-up view selection menu and include support for custom temperaments.

Best free tuner I've ever seen. This tuner will even tune a Piano. I also use it for electric Bass, acoustic and electric Guitar, and even Trumpet. I really like the fact that it's a sleek small app. Well written, and packed full of useful features. Only uses the resources it needs. Not bloated. I compared it to pro software that coast hundreds of dollars, and it worked almost as well. Works better than any of my mechanical tuners. Never locks, so it shows frequency drift. Highly recommend.
The app goes beyond what a tuner can do. my tone def wife can see what note she is singing usually a b flat. my kids enjoy making the lights stop blinking, enhancing their ability to hit a solid note in almost a game kinda way. Its free , its on my phone, i can't say enough good. ads don't pop great work
I haven't able to play due to my inability to tune by ear for long enough to be extremely rusty as just found out but I thought my tablets microphone want good enough to handle it but tried it for the sake of it and it worked beautifully to get it perfectly in tune! I HIGHLY recommend this app to all
This app caused huge bug on my Trend Plus, after I launch it, sound goes permamently low everywhere (including alarm and ring), and earphones won't work at all. Only restart fixes this behavior. It's a shame, because app does great job at what its meant to do, but this bug ruins everything. Almost got late for work once. Then had to reboot my phone before sleep everytime until I identified the cause. Please fix. Edit: I use new phone now, work fine here, didn't check if issue was fixed for older phone.
Loved it until the latest update. I was planning on buying pro till you removed the panel with all the mini tuners. That's all I ever used and now it's gone forever :'(
Used to be my favourite guitar tuning app, but they have recently removed one of the best tuning methods from the app. I have used this app for 2 years and today I have tried to tune up only to have to resort to the other methods. Very disappointed
When I don't have a tuner handy this thing always works. I don't know if it's perfect, but it's close enough for playing around.
I notice when i use daddario ordinary string in 1 month use the string out of tune. When comes to Elixir string EADGBA all are accurate. Highly recommeded i use this app in my business guitar intonation. Guitarist for 12 years. Tnx pitch lab
Wonderful app. It has wonderfully transformed my guitar playing world, striking those notes on acoustic guitar and feeling the real thing because the notes sustain the right pitch on every day play. Don't go for less. The app developed my tonality in the course of use and time. Kudos!¿
Best mobile tuner award goes to this app. Multiple ways of tuning, not just your guitar, but almost every instrument out there. Thank you guys for doing such a wonderful job on this.
I am very confused because the lite version has more tuners than the pro version, its maybe the fact that the pro version is for pros or something but either way they both tune my guitar lol
Been using this for a year now with my 2 acoustics. It's spot on accurate. Don't waste time messing with other tuner apps, this is all you really need. The tuner is perfect and helps a lot when you play in altered tunings. I'd give it 6 stars if I could.
It told to tune and it didn't stop and broke it. Worst app forever.
Wth?? It WAS awesome and I used it everyday, until they removed the only feature that was useful... How do I get the old version back? It's now worthless.
Spectrogram resolution and built-in "inteligence" are impressive. Miss "technical" options at least on the free version, but solved my immediate goals (tune a guitar in sync to an acoustic piano) faster and better than paid apps I used before. Recommend a serious try on it. Very enlighting to amateurs like me too.
Before i dont know how to tune my accostic guitar but when i try this app its very simply and easy to use and understand, just tune while turning the string individually and observing the guide,you will see ,whether high or low put it on the center finished. Very nice app.
It's easy to use. But sometimes it changes tune. Yeah, idk why.
Where do I begin. I've download and tried at least 10 other tuners before, including paid apps, and this FREE app trumps them all. The different modes are simple to use and highly accurate, and unlike other apps *cough* ultimate guitar *cough* it doesn't persistently advertise the pro version or make you pay extra for important things like alternate tunings. It's very fun to use the highly visual modes to watch the notes you play light up. This app is 10/10, and I can't wait to try the pro version.
After every time I use all the sounds come like I am on a call and a notification come. Music media everything
any other guitar tuner doesn't shows this much ways to tune love it.
Great for on the fly, but no replacement for a real tuner. Can't tune bass very well either.
awesome, it's just perfect. it's a must app For all guitar players.
Absolutely no need to get the pro version. This does all you will need it to do. I just now used it to tune a fiddle and had fun watching the different readings/screens. I recommend using the default screen until it says 'in tune' then using the needle to fine tune it. I love how it also tells you the exact frequency being played and being able to set a custom reference frequency. A-432 all the way! ;)
This app is just amazin.its the best tuner i found after testing several similar apps.i have been using the tuner device and at 1 time i didn't have it.after searching on the net i found this app.its 99% accurate and it takes abit longer to tune.like 2 mins more but its free and convinient.this is what i expected.ofcoarse there is noise in the sorroundin so it may not work 100%.i will test it at night and i expect higher results.you dont need to connect your bass guitar to a speaker or amp.the app is perfet
No crazy permissions and really great displays. I love the spectral one!
that DOESN'T cause seizures :P used to be my fave. uninstalling and will search for a backup before it was 'updated' or, barring that, will find another app. too bad. it was nice while it lasted =sigh=
I like this apps ...all different tunings are in here ....this is the best tuner i ever had ...thanks for the author of this app...lovelots .but sometimes when the tuner pickup other sound by human voices etc. It was crashed . and i hopefully expecting to add new good temperament for acoustic guitar .
The app is OK, but the flashing ads are annoying. I found an all-in-one metronome and tuner that works fine and uninstalled this nagger.
... and I bought into the iOS version, too, to get the feature, but losing the polyphonic array is a deal breaker. Worst is to discover this upon whipping-out the app in rehearsal. I'm skeptical about infringement but if, by some stroke, it is (cite number, please. "prior use"??), the lack of due diligence when releasing that app is surpassed only by the lack of innovation to replace it with a functional equivalent. Good thing for backups.
I don't understand why the update removed the best part of the app. It was the perfect tuning app now it's not unfortunatley. Please for the sake of music bring it back. (yea it was that good)
Intuitive, dependable, and just flat out works perfectly for tuning your instrument. Highly recommended.
The best guitar tuner for mobilr its easy and awesome
Loved it when it had the full bar strobe in it, now it is barely worth opening... Can I install a preupdate version or what was the patent issue (meaning where can I get what I need). If I can get a prior version or help getting the ful strobe I need I will gladly give 5 stars. This was a great tuner until that was removed... BTW still is mildly Ok for guitar, but the removed tuner was what I use for tuning pianos, it was literally that good...
They remover the only view I cared about in the latest update. I have the pro version too, but I didn't even use it because I liked the full view where you see the exact current chord/notes in relation to all the others. I guess now I won't use this app, until they put it back. I'll be happy to change my rating to 5 stars when that happens.
Other guitar tuners were 26megs with in app purchases. They helped me make my decision!
What the hell happened to the latest version. Why did they remove screens? I was so used to using the awesome Multi string tuner one and now they just removed it!
I've downloaded and it's helping. When you update this app again make sure it doesn't get slower, okay?
Perfect app - actually does what it says, no weird permissions, accurate and frustration free. Also, had demoscene-esque fonts and styling. What's not to like? Two thumbs up, way up.
Its not quite tuning my guitar but has awesome little app features. I was tempted to give lower than 3 stars but because it was free I was also tempted to give higher. Thank you but am uninstalling.

Interesting pricing structure: download pro for free and get very few options and no ads (until you pay of course), or, download "lite" version and get all features for free but with ads that are actually less intrusive than the ads on the pre-payment pro app. So... if you don't mind a small advert banner, lite is better. Everything works fine, more features than I'm ever likely to use. Happy bunny.
