doesn't work on this phone
Useless!!!!
All of a sudden it quit tuning my tenors and every other note on the chanter.
Sad
Doesn't respond to my chanter correctly
Tried to set up PayPal to do a subscription on my A70. App said I was connected to my PayPal but wouldn't accept my password several times. I logged onto PayPal right after this app payment failure Highly suspicious. App seemed to want Google Pay. Ain't going there.
Disappointing
Have subscribed to premium, but all notes are stuck locked?
I had this app on my phone, I paid the full subscription, it worked well. I got a new phone, transferred across, now the app won't work. I have checked phone settings, as per a forum, and the microphone is active. I looked at paying again but it tells me I am already a subscriber. I emailed the makers but have heard nothing. The app still doesn't work. On that basis ..support is very poor.
This is a handy app to have, but is only really useful when you want to finetune each note on your chanter with tape. The app becomes tempermental when you go to tune your drones to the chanter, becoming downright unusable in my experience, so much so that the only recourse was to uninstall and reinstall it. Don't bother with the app for tuning your drones - just use your ears or you pipe majors! Finally, for the little usefulness this app offers, they are expecting a subscription of $20/yr! No.
The app seems to be buggy on my Samsung S20. That said, I have seen it work well on an iPhone.
It works very well but it can be temperamental with locking up notes when you dont want it to. And a subscription model for an app this specific and light weight is absolutely ridiculous.
Can't make any sense of this. Done trying. -Wish this app had a good user guide. -Update 5 weeks later. Dont even know where to start. The instructions are circular and random. -Used my wifes Apple phone for Bagpipe Tuner app. Easy as can be.
I was hoping that this app would also tune my practice chanter. However I could not find an option for it so I will be uninstalling
