Hi All,
I am wondering if I could get some feedback/reviews on my tuner app that is currently on the market; DaTuner. I released a chromatic tuner app, DaTuner, back in January (2011) and although it is still a work in progress I think it works well enough now for a review. I am getting quite a few 5 star reviews, but at the same time also a significant number of 4 star reviews. (The reviews with < 4 stars are easily explained by the releases I've done that inadvertantly included bugs that I seem to enjoy writing so much.)
It would help me a lot to get some constructive criticism on the responsiveness/accuracy of the algorithm as well as the GUI. I know that the GUI needs work - the config menu doesn't match google's "template" and I created my own config knob for use on the tiny screen on my X10 mini, but those will all be fixed later when the kinks in the main part of the program - the pitch detection, are worked out.
Also, could the 4 star revies simply be the simplicity (ie lack of extra features) of the app? The free version doesn't have a pitch pipe, and it also doesn't (yet) include any custom tunings or temperaments.
Please give it a shot, I would love to see some head-to-head comparisons with other tuners and don't want to do that myself because it just feels wrong (and it would obviously then be biased.) Plus, I feel that the people who wrote the other android-only tuners also seem to be really nice guys (judged from their posts here) so I certainly don't want to put their apps down - they are excellent and I really just want to make DaTuner competitive and perhaps be able to put DaTuner in a niche of its own so it can reside side-by-side with the other more customizeable tuners.
Thanks very much in advance!
Chris
Edit: Now I realize I probably should have put this in the new app announcement area but I can't seem to figure out how to move it.
