Features & Capabilities

Tunepal is an award-winning Chrome extension recognized by the Sunday Times and Dublin Institute of Technology as an essential tool for traditional musicians. It allows users to identify tunes instantly by playing their instrument—such as tin-whistle, flute, concertina, or uilleann pipes—directly into their device. Tunepal searches a vast database of over 23,000 traditional Irish, Scots, Welsh, and Breton tunes to find matches.

Once a tune is identified, users can download, view, and edit the notation or stave, email the tune, share it on Facebook, or play it back using Tunepal's high-quality playback engine. This powerful tool is ideal for anyone involved in trad music sessions wanting to learn and share traditional melodies with ease and accuracy.

User Reviews

Users appreciate Tunepal for effective traditional tune identification, sheet music display, and its utility as a tune storage and learning tool. It performs well even in noisy settings. However, recent updates causing a demand for location access have raised privacy concerns. Additionally, many users report app crashes, failure to open on newer Androids, UI glitches, and occasional inaccuracies in tune recognition. Loss of saved favorites post-update further detracts from user experience. Continuing maintenance and addressing these issues would greatly enhance user satisfaction.
Pros
  • Effective tune identification, especially for traditional or session musicians.
  • Provides sheet music with standard notation and accompanying audio playback.
  • Allows users to store, learn, and revise tunes conveniently on their device.
  • Functions well in noisy environments like pubs.
  • Supports a large online tune collection accessible within the app.
Cons
  • Requires access to device location, which many users find unnecessary and concerning.
  • App crashes or fails to open on newer Android versions or after updates.
  • Tune identification can be inaccurate or unreliable, especially with certain tune types (e.g., slow airs).
  • UI issues such as non-functional buttons and persistent permission prompts.
  • Loss of saved tunes or favorites after updates or reinstallations.

It works pretty often. Given the amount of tunes out there I think this is the best app that does what it does.

Used to be good. App now needs permission to access location. Why? You give permission and it still doesn't work. Ruined.
