I should say that it has taken me a bit of time to get used to the level of accuracy and sensitivity the iStobe App provides and how that accuracy/sensitivity impacts the task of tuning up an instrument. If you have never used one of these tuners before and you are used to the typical clip on tuners we have all used for years now you will notice that that the variance in the pitch between the moment of attack and over the second or two or three that it decays is displayed in all its glory. Its not like you strike the string and the note sounds and holds its pitch while you tune. It moves all over the place. So this unit allows you to do some very fine tuning - but it does take a bit to get used to it. I'm glad I have it on my iPhone - I use it all the time when its not too noisy. I do still bring my little Intelli to jams/sessions. But this new strobe clip on does look really nice to me. When my Intelli bites the dust, and it surely will down the road, I'll probably pick up one of these.
