## Description

The app also offers automatic reference calibration and adjustable A4 calibration for exact tuning across instruments.

Capable of tuning guitar, bass, bowed strings, woodwinds, brass, piano, tympani, and other sustained instruments, Cleartune combines pro-level features with ease of use.

## Review summary

Users praise Cleartune for accuracy when functional, a clean interface, and its long history as a tuner. However, many reviews highlight abandonment and instability: no updates for years, frequent freezing/crashes, unresponsiveness, and poor detection of low or quiet notes. The overall sentiment is negative due to reliability and support concerns, despite some views that it can work well at times.

### Pros

- Accurate when it works, with effective noise filtering and the ability to detect notes from a distance.
- Clean, easy-to-read interface.
- Longstanding, historically trusted tuner used by many for years.

### Cons

- Lack of updates for years leading to nonfunctional behavior on modern devices.
- Frequent freezes/crashes and overall instability; app often needs to be restarted.
- Inconsistent performance; frequently fails to hear low/quiet notes (e.g., low A/E) and musician’s needs.
- Occasional complete unresponsiveness or no response to input even after reinstall.
