Peterson Strobe tuner iPhone app?

Post by TMurphy »

This is only slightly off topic, but I'm posting it here anyway. Has anyone used the Peterson strobe tuner app for the iPhone. It's a bit pricey for an iPhone app ($9.99), but if it's a reliable, accurate tuner that can pick up a tuba low range, it's well worth it. Anyone try it? Is it good, or does it suck? Any and all feedback appreciated, thanks!

It's a good app. and works well, but it doesn't work like a normal strobe. Normally, the different "wheels" on a strobe will help you tune overtones. That's not the case with this app, or the tuner it's based off of. The different bars only help to make it easier to focus in on where "in tune" lies.

This ap work well, and is worth the $10, but it's not a true strobe like many people would think.
