I'll try and find out who made one I used on my Palm device. Maybe they have a Windows version too. It was a great tuner, but I've not seen anything like it for the Smartphone.

I always preferred the strobe tuner myself. They're large and incredibly expensive, but there's nothing better for tuning. Basically there's 1 spinning disk that corresponds to each pitch in a chromatic scale. when the pitch you play is perfectly in tune, the corresponding disk will stop spinning (and slows when you are close) spins clockwise if you are sharp and counter clockwise if you are flat.

Yes, I'm still using this tuner its great! I'm a HS Band Director so Its very convient to tune my band so easily with this handy tool. And the kids LOVE IT!! They think its the coolest thing in the world when I go to each individual with my phone and ask them to play a concert B-flat they're like... Dude watch this! Isn't that cool!! lol!!

But the way it works is whatever note you're trying to tune, you play it and the tuner will move to the left if its too flat and to the right if its too sharp, while displaying the lettername of the actual note you're playing. When it stands straight up, Its in tune. (A=440)
