FretWise Tuner & Lessons

Tune it, then learn to play it. Free on iPhone, iPad and Android.

What it does

• Tune anything with strings — guitar, bass, ukulele, violin, cello, mandolin, banjo and more: 16 instruments and 29 tunings.
• Hear what in tune sounds like — a reference tone for every string, modelled on a real plucked string.
• Lessons that listen — play a chord and the app tells you whether you played it, and which string is not sounding.
• A metronome that does not drift — the beat comes from the audio engine, not a timer.
• Private — your microphone is analysed on the device and never recorded or sent anywhere.

Free, with a few ads

Every lesson is included. FretWise shows a small banner under the lesson list and the metronome and an occasional ad after a finished lesson — never on the tuner, and never while a lesson is listening.
