Cleartune ($4) – Read my review of ClearTune right here.Also gives you a smiley face when you’re in tune! This app includes a tuner, metronome, recorder, analysis page, and a pitch pipe. One of the most popular tuning apps available. TonalEnergy ($4) – Read my review of TonalEnergy here.Here are some more recommendations, broken down by platform.Īndroid Apps for Musicians: Tuner/Metronome Apps It’s not cheap, but I think it’s worth it. While there are other (good) options for iOS, I think ForScore is a nice combination of ease-of-use and powerful functionality. While it’s certainly not perfect, it has some interesting features, including a metrodrone (combination metronome and drone), and contains features designed to encourage deliberate practice. Right now it’s iOS only, but they are working on an Android version. Practice Log: Right now I’m using Modacity as a practice log app.Not only do you get some recording options not available in the standard iOS recorder app, but you can do audio-only or audio+video, and you can see a waveform (and tuner) while you playblack your recording. But the nicest thing about it to me is that if you don’t need these features, it’s easy to set a tempo and a subdivision and start/stop. The metronome is (fairly) full-featured, and can do a lot if you’re willing to experiment. Metronome: My favorite metronome is currently the same as my favorite tuner – TonalEnergy.It’s not always the cheapest option, but I think that it is one of the best all-around tuner apps available. You can read my old review of the Android version of TonalEnergy here, to get a taste of what it can do. It is available for Android and iOS and it has quite a few features. Tuner: My favorite tuner app is Tonal Energy.I often get requests from students for the “best” tuner or metronome app, so I’ve decided to compile some of my favorite apps for both iOS and Android into one list that can be easily used by anyone. One of the biggest advantages to having a smartphone (or tablet) is the range of apps to fit almost anyone’s individual needs, and there are a lot of apps that are designed for musicians.
