TonalEnergy Chromatic Tuner and Metronome app review: much more than just a basic tuner 2021

Reviews

Introduction

What we have here is a chromatic tuner and metronome on steroids, providing some of the most comprehensive functionality found in an iPhone and iPad app of this kind. Whether you’re a rank beginner or a professional musician, this Toner Energy app is an absolute must-have utility.

The best instrument tuners for iPhone

I really can’t sing the praises of this Toner Energy tuner app enough, and would like to commend the developer for doing an absolutely fantastic job of compiling a ton of awesome features in a very attractive interface that makes navigation a real pleasure.

As a musician I can really appreciate the attention to detail that has gone into the Tonal Energy tuner, and I’m particularly pleased to see that there are separate tuner features for guitars and orchestral strings. This makes a fairly big difference in my mind. Keep reading our Tonal Energy review for more details about this app.

Of course, you can also use this app to tune just about any pitch-producing musical instrument.

This app also features one of the largest pitch ranges that I’ve seen in a chromatic tuner, ranging from C0 all the way up to C8. You can also very easily generate a pitch reference note using the built-in TonalEnergy instruments or waveforms.
