The tuner app by Soundcorset rates unanimously as the easiest app to use and read, with all of our testers giving it a perfect rating in this category. Price: Free (with paid monthly subscription option to remove ads) Both of our harp student testers rate Tunable as their top app choice, and James Scully, an 11-year-old harp student says, “This was my favorite app!” Harp Column testers agree this app is great for everyday tuning at home for students and professionals alike. It is unclear why the price is $5 more for iOS users. The display does not have a landscape mode when you rotate the device, which seems odd for a paid app. Tunable also offers a tone generator that will play any pitch as well as intervals and chords. More than just a tuner, Tunable has additional features including a customizable metronome and audio recording that can easily be shared via text, email, and airdrop. Those new to tuning may like this app because the longer the string rings between plucks, the easier it is to use Tunable. At the beginner level, a note that is within 10 cents will display as in tune, while at the advanced level, notes must be within two cents to appear as in tune. You can choose harp as your instrument when you set up Tunable, and then choose your level of experience to adjust the sensitivity of the app, as well as the range of accuracy. The calibration setting as well as temperament show in small print at all times. Definitely a unique feature of this tuner.” Seattle-based professional harpist Catherine Case explains, “The graph allows you to see the difference in tuning between the attack as you initially pluck the string and the decay as it rings.
This relatively new app has a display that is different than others, but it is large and easy to read, with red and green colors to point you in the right direction.
With easy and intuitive one-click calibration and 17 temperaments to choose from, Tunable is a good choice for those who need customization. In general, Harp Column tuning app testers love Tunable, with three out of five testers listing it as their favorite.
