About
Bandmate Chromatic Tuner is a free tuner for music students and educators working with band, orchestra, guitar, or voice. When a player performs a note, it appears on a music staff transposed for the selected instrument. An orange needle indicates pitch and turns green within +/- 5 cents of in tune. A one-tap control changes between flat and sharp spellings of enharmonic notes. Listed choices include saxophones, brass, strings, woodwinds, guitar and ukulele, bells, recorder, and voice in bass or treble clef. The app runs on Android and iOS, and its web version works on Chromebooks, Android devices, or other devices with a browser. The maker says it has no third-party ads and is appropriate for school systems. Its privacy policy says it does not collect or share personal information. Bandmate is free for everyone; users may optionally contribute through PayPal or Venmo toward maintenance and App Store costs. The service terms do not guarantee availability, security, error correction, or suitability for a user's requirements.
