TE (Tonal Energy) Tuner for iOS is good and has a free version. It has a lot of options and features (maybe too many).

I too like iStrobosoft by Peterson and is my favirite. The other one I like is called “Tunable”. It’s just $4 but shows a history of your pitch where the green bar gets wider as you stay on pitch. It also has metronome and tone generator. You can set the tuner for just intonation, play a tone (drone) and play a major third and it will show sharp if you don’t drop the pitch some.
Here’s a link for more info... (sorry, the example is with sax):

TonalEnergy.
Has a metronome, skill levels including pro, metronome, different temperaments including equal and just, single and chord production in each, wave analysis, just about anything one might imagine.
You can, for example, hear how the sound changes in a chord from equal tempered to just tempered to just tempered in a different key.
Used IStroboSoft before that..

Another vote for TE (Tonal Energy) Tuner. Lots of features, including drones in a variety of timbres, adjustable +/- cents tolerance, and great set of metronome options. Plus, it gives you a big ol’ smiley face when you’ve centered the needle!

One of those tuner apps has a metronome that can randomly drop beats. I can't remember which one but it sounds useful.

I use the Pro version of DaTuner. I liked the free version a lot, so I shelled out the $3-4 for the rull deal.Mark Finley wrote:For android, I only use Da Tuner.

Re: best FREE tuner app...??
I found out about TE tuner when a local college teacher was going around her band with it on an iPad facing the students, and the big, expanding smiley face (gets bigger the longer you're on a stable centered pitch) made the visuals easy to see anywhere in the band.
TE allows multiple temperments and sensitivity adjustment for tuning accuracy, along with a host of other features, like a very flexible tone generator (with an onscreen keyboard on tablets), a recording option, waveform analyzer, excellent metronome, etc.

Re: best FREE tuner app...??
Pitch lab has some good stuff in it also.
Maybe this should be a separate post, but what type of drone do you all prefer?
Square, saw, sine? Things that mimic instruments? Lower octaves, higher octaves, lots of octaves? 5ths?
