This is an interesting project. It isn’t immediately obvious to me how the visualisations aid the tuning process. Please can you say a little more about how you expect a user to interpret those as they perform tuning work?

Perhaps it lets you get that last 1-1/4 of a hz that might otherwise get lost? Its also probably really good for beginners trying on their own to train them selves so they can spot when they are over/under tune

It's just easier to quickly notice a pattern moving or standing still than the needle moving by a few degrees. The needle can also appear twitchy or jump around and lag, making it harder to tune accurately.

The visual feedback sounds very much like the strobe feature on my guitar tuner. I think the first like this was the Stroboconn in the 1930s.

This visual feedback is very similar. It also shows octave changes i.e if the pitch detected is 0.5x, 1x or 2x the reference freq / note set.

Pitch detection is computed and can sometimes be influenced by external noise or sampling limitations.It can jump. However, the visual display is based on the period of the reference note (or set frequency), allowing it to function independently of the detected pitch.

A tuner with ads. There's plenty of ad-free tuners, thank you.

Thanks for the feedback! Ads help us keep the app free and support ongoing development.

Then charge for it. Ads are definitely not okay when you're trying to tune your instrument. The real reason of course is that ads will make more money than a one time payment.

Also, the OP smells like vapid AI slop.

We will be introducing an ad-free premium version once we finalize the implementation details. We also wish to clarify that English is not our native language.
