| Haven't tried it because my phone is probably too old but it might be OK. Has a lot of different tunings too for open etc.

Location: Phoenix AZ | There's probably a whole 'nuther long topic to be had about what tuners we like and dislike. For the most part probably personal opinion more than fact.
There's no doubt better ones out there but I personally find the iphone app pretty good, at least to my ears. Definately better than the ovation pre-amp tuners. But every ones ears are different. Call me old fashioned, but at home I usually try to just tune to the piano. |

Location: Round Rock, TX | There's an app that I have on my iPhone by Peterson called, I think, Strobophone. Anyway it's a nice strobe tuner with input boost and a noise filter. It works well and is especially handy since if I'm out, I've got it. Oh yeah, my iPhone is 2G and it works great. |

Gallerinski and TAFKAR, which which iPhone tuner app are you using? |

Now that I'm approaching the saggy end of middle aged I'm finding my ears are starting to let me down, so a good iPhone tuner is on the cards. |

I could live with that...  |

Location: 6 String Ranch | just get a cheapie chromatic tuner, I got a Seiko, Debanjo has a Korg, just something with a line in and a vu-meter. Then get a Seiko STM20 tuner clip, it will fit any head stock. Now you can always get in tune and you'll be within 3 cents. It really makes a difference, if the G is 3 cents flat and the B 3 cents sharp it will sound bad and with the meter you can see that and fix it.
I've been using this for about a year and nothing will replace it. |

Location: Sunshine State, Australia | Yeah. That's just it. When you're out and about and you suddenly have someones badly tuned guitar in your mits, it's not like you've got one of those Seiko thingies on your keyring.
Hey... I've just had an idea... |
