For musicians from pros to beginners, whether you sing, play a brass, woodwind or stringed instrument or any type of guitar, this app provides a set of feature-rich practice tools that gives fun and rewarding feedback. It’s much more than just a tuner!
So what makes the TonalEnergy the best selling music practice app?
• It's an all-in-one app, with a state-of-the-art tuner, an advanced metronome, dedicated orchestral strings and guitar tuning page, a piano keyboard, sound analysis pages, and audio/visual recording capabilities.
• It’s easy to use. Options like the Target Tuner or Pitch Tracker are on all the main pages. TonalEnergy helps users create rewarding and attainable goals during a rehearsal or when working alone. Colorful analysis data pages and audio/video recording features enhance the experience of practice.
• The metronome is cutting edge. It offers unmatched flexibility in sound choices, tempo settings, meters, subdivision patterns and visual displays. Voice count-ins, the ability to create and edit preset groups and Ableton link for syncing multiple devices make this a superior tool for performers.
• Ear training possibilities are endless. The high quality multi-sampled instrument sounds for symphonic instruments are unique among all other tuning applications. Listening skills can be developed through the use of the eight-octave keyboard, chromatic wheel and tone generator. There are no other sounds like these.
• Learning is a social activity. Using features unique to the TonalEnergy Tuner, data can be collected, reviewed, edited and shared with others. Feedback is essential for growing and developing great performers. It’s all about connectivity.
Chris Coletti, member of The Canadian Brass, sums up TonalEnergy by saying,
“TonalEnergy is a must-have for any serious musician. It's a full suite of tools in one app; the tuner, tone generator, recorder, metronome and beautiful interface make it one of the best tools for musicians out there, period.”

The Swiss Army Knife For Any Musician
This is not just a tuner and metronome. It’s a tone generator. It’s a field recorder. It has a spectrum analyzer. It has a half-dozen visualizations for tuning. Absolutely the best tool on the iPhone I’ve ever used as a musician. Totally worth it - the features are all useful.

Te tuner
I gave it 4 stars because it is a really great app that helps me tune and play my violin but it’s a little complicated and it didn’t always get the notes right.

I love I love Turner whe I love the tuner it’s it’s Metronome and I love the little picture. It has to go with it when you’re doing the Metronome it’s really fun so sometimes I use it sometimes I don’t most of the time I don’t, but sometimes I do so that’s how I really like the tune.

Never written a review before…
I’ve never written a review for an app on the App Store before, but I’ve been using TE Tuner for 15 years now. From trombone to voice, this app allows you as much or as little control over ever aspect of tuning and tempo you can imagine. Highly recommend for anyone in band classes and beyond.

Literally my favorite app as a musician.
The best $5 I ever spent. I use this app basically every day during the band season and even for vocal training.

Left side of the pitch wheel isn’t working!!!
This app is cool and it rlly helps me but lately the left side of my pitch wheel hasn’t been working. Maybe it’s just me but it’s lowk annoying when I’m trying to find certain intervals and I can’t because my pitch wheel doesn’t wanna cooperate. It’s usually everything from B natural to F#

Best tuner AND best metronome
I’m a pro musician and teacher, bought TE a decade ago and to this day I’ve never found a better app for either of these functions. Don’t mess around with any of these free* apps, buy this once and never think about it again.

Unintuitive as a guitar tuner
I’ve used more intuitive guitar tuning apps, but those demand a subscription fee. Since the reviews were stellar, I naturally thought this app would provide what those apps do, but it doesn’t. It might be a useful guitar tuning app for intermediate players, but for beginners and people learning guitar intuitively, it’s unnecessarily complex and lacks the intuitive approach of the subscription-based tuning apps.
