So now we can have an Android port of the “I am rich” app.
BRB, need to code an app.
Hate this:
Actually there’s a lot of piano tuning apps, and maybe that’s not a bad thing?
Does anyone know if those prices are fair or total b******* for a piano tuning app?
I mean a pianotuneR (as in a guy that tunes your piano) is pretty expensive.
These apps seem to be marketed as tools for professional piano tuners. And looking just at the screenshots it looks like it has a lot of tools and features outside of just showing the correct pitch.
If tuning pianos is your profession, paying 999$ once and writing it off as a business expense isn’t that far fetched.
(Better be a bloody useful tool though ;) )
I’m 99% sure that a professional piano tuner would be better served with a dedicated tuning device than a $999 Android tuning app.
It’s an iPhone tuning app
well that’s different then
Im 99% sure any piano tuner worth their salt tunes by ear

No idea. Probably cause it’s a bit gate-keepy in the way I say “any tuner worth their salt” as if it’s the only way to achieve good results.
I haven’t met a tuner that uses anything other than forks. Maybe that’s because all the pianos I’ve worked with have been in good condition, so haven’t needed drastic measures applied. As I haven’t met a tuner that uses anything else, I can’t say if they are better/faster/whatever. I just assumed it’s the industry standard, like how orchestras tune by eardeleted by creator
Do you own a piano? Have you ever had one tuned?
I haven’t, but I’ve had many grand and baby grand pianos tuned after being moved onto stage, and a guy comes in and does it by ear.
I asked them why they didn’t have a stroboscopic tuner or something, and they’ve always found it easier with a couple forks and by eardeleted by creator
We need a Foss alternative
That’s what I’m curious about, I guess we need to find someone who uses these apps or is a piano tuner that could weigh in.
So, the most expensive iOS apps are complicated applications aimed at professionals, while the most expensive Android apps are all junk apps aimed at rich people.
Why does your comment smell like a superiority complex?
It’s not, I’m an avid Android user myself. It’s just an observation. I would have expected more professional apps on Android and also a buch of “see how rich I am” apps on iOS
Doesn’t look like it, but I appreciate the swing
Feels less like rich people and more like money laundering.
The most expensive iOS apps are from Apple
So the same + inflation?
What would an app need to do for you to consider spending $1k on it?
A complete small business software suite.
Or
The Dick Sucker 9000 upgrade app for an actual AI powered sexbot.
But then you have to buy the hardware attachment separately. That’s where they get ya.
Maybe your cars extended warranty
Anyone else triggered by the lack of bezels in that picture?
Like how the google play logo literally touches the edge if the screen?
