Description of App
From the iTunes App Store: ""Cleartune has been a life saver both on and off the stage! Especially in the studio, who would have thought the drummer had the best tuner in the room?"
- Ezra Oklan (Ambulance ltd., Norah Jones, Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, Ari Hest, Matt Beck (Matchbox 20), Chico Hamilton, Arnie Lawrence, John Southworth,
Oakley Hall)"Ive been having trouble with interference on stage with other tuners for the iPhone. Used Cleartune last night before a gig and had no problems
with stage noise. Excellent tuner for bass." - Rob Calder (Ari Hest, Angus and Julia Stone, Findlay Brown, Colin Smith, The Break and Repair Method)✭ Featured
in Electronic Musician magazine✭ Showcased on demo iPhones at AT&T and Apple Stores✭ Featured on Apple.com - Staff Picks & App of the week-----------------------Cleartune

using an external mic on your 2nd or 3rd generation iPod Touch.Note to iPod Touch users:iPod Touch 2nd and 3rd gen requires an external microphone - see
http://bitcount.com/cleartune/ipod.html for details. The tuning function is not compatible with the original 1st generation iPod Touch.Cleartune features

Why post it then?
If the app is inaccessible, why did you put it in here?
Hi, I added the app to the
Hi,
I added the app to the directory so that other people would know it doesn't work and not to waste their money on it. I thought that was the whole point of having the AppleVIS sight--to provide information about both accessible--and inaccessible--apps?
Not just the accessible apps
Hi,
The purpose of the App Directory is to gather information on both accessible and inaccessible apps, as it can be just as valuable to know that an app is inaccessible (particularly when it is a paid app, like this one.
One other potential benefit of posting inaccessible apps to this site is that developers might notice the negative comments and do something to correct the problems (I suspect many developers regularly search on Google to see what people are saying about their apps).
Accessibility Comments
AppleVis Editor Note: this app was submitted before Usability Ratings were introduced, so one has been chosen on the basis of the accessibility comments made by the original poster. If you have used this app, please post a comment to let us know if you agree with the Rating.
Original Comments: This app is almost completely inaccessible. When the app is launched, VoiceOver locks up and the phone is basically unuseable while in the app.
