TuneLab Piano Tuner for Android

Years ago, i would have rated this a 4 star. The app works, yes. The tunings are good, not great but certainly decent. But no improvements have been made in years! The app still looks like something from the seventies and most importantly, requires (Yes REQUIRES) a dropbox account for file sharing. After all these years milking for money, the author cannot be bothered to add icloud syncing (which is not difficult, being a software dev myself). I don’t always have an Mobile available, being able to go between Mobile and Android is a must for me. No i don’t want bloatware dropbox on my Android/Mobile.

After much consideration and advice from colleagues, I opted to purchase Tunelab to assist my aural tunings with difficult temperaments and stretches. Throwing down $299.99 isn’t an everyday thing for me. You can imagine my frustration when instead of being charged the displayed $299.99, I was charged $320.99 instead! Unfortunately this means that my initial experience has left a poor taste in my mouth. I feel cheated. I’d like a refund for the difference.

I started tuning my pianos a couple years ago (m&h aa, yamaha c5) and this tool has helped me immensely! Calculating the stretch and inharmonicity really helped me have a solid starting point to work from. In addition the phase display has helped my aural tuning by providing visual feedback to what I hear. I'm not a pro and I'm sure I don't take advantage of all its features but as an amateur this too is indispensible! My pianos sound better than they ever had and I learned loads of great acoustic theory in the process. Well done!

I have been a piano tuner for over 40 years. I started using Tune Lab 11 years ago and love it The most valuable thing about it is that I can tune even in extremely noisy locations with full confidence The most challenging situation involved tuning in a building full of noisy people. Pouring rain on a metal roof and concrete floor. The acoustics were so bad I couldn’t really even hear the piano. It would have been impossible to tune by ear but TuneLab saved the day. Thank you TuneLab

Please let me return this. Never should have bought it without looking into it further. I’m not a seasoned veteran and can’t understand what the app is asking me to do.
