Product description

For musicians from pros to beginners, whether you sing, play a brass, woodwind or stringed instrument or any type of guitar, this app provides a set of feature-rich practice tools that gives fun and rewarding feedback. It’s much more than just a tuner!

So what makes the TonalEnergy the best selling music practice app?

• It's an all-in-one app, with a state-of-the-art tuner, an advanced metronome, dedicated orchestral strings and guitar tuning page, a piano keyboard, sound analysis pages, and audio recording capabilities.

• It’s easy to use. Options like the Target Tuner or Pitch Tracker are on all the main pages. TonalEnergy helps users create rewarding and attainable goals during a rehearsal or when working alone. Colorful analysis data pages and audio recording features enhance the experience of practice.

• The metronome is cutting edge. It offers unmatched flexibility in sound choices, tempo settings, meters, subdivision patterns and visual displays. Voice count-ins, the ability to create and edit preset groups make this a superior tool for performers.

• Ear training possibilities are endless. The high quality multi-sampled instrument sounds for symphonic instruments are unique among all other tuning applications. Listening skills can be developed through the use of the eight-octave keyboard, chromatic wheel and tone generator. There are no other sounds like these.

    I bought it for the metronome which has some useful advanced features.

    As a tuner, my first impression is that the display is jerky and unpleasant. I'm really happy with PitchLab, so I don't really need the tuning functions of this app.

    The metronome functions are pretty versatile and you can set up some quick access slots. The display actually matches the audio click (which is rare for android). Unfortunately, the android version is kind of buggy, so it won't always work the way it should. It might "go silent" on you, or have some other odd behavior. The iOS version works as it should.

    I contacted the developer many months ago, but never heard back. I recently tried them again, and was happy to hear that they will update the Amazon version with their next update.

    I've improved my rating, and if a new version appears within a few months, I'll bump it up to 5 stars.

    This tuner doesn't work the way it should. Now, granted it might be my wifi, I don't know. But it freezes. I've gone to using my regular Glory Tuner instead of this one.

    Works really well. The smiley face is great! You can use it as a metronome or a tuner. You can also change how close you have to be on the center of pitch. So you can start out with it being fairly forgiven to no forgiveness at all.

    This app rocks!! I know there are various free apps for metronome and tuner programs, but this very inexpensive paid app was recommended to me and it is awesome; well worth a few dollars. I have yet to explore half of what this app can provide. Between pre-set functions and the ability to tailor many factors to your liking, I'm not sure if there are any relevant functions this can't handle. You can use combinations of the metronome and tuner functions simultaneously, view your actual pitch versus ideal tone in a variety of ways and much more.
    This does everything I need and more in a well-designed app that can run on my tablet and take with me wherever I play or practice.

    I mostly use the metronome feature but the tuner is also good. The app allows me to create various click options to practice articulation and create various rhythm patterns. I like the ability to block out clicks which was hard to do with other metronome apps. Off beat click options can also be created.
