Bandmate Chromatic Tuner is a free tuner for music students and educators working with band, orchestra, guitar, or voice. When a user plays or sings, it shows the note on a music staff, transposed for the selected instrument. The tuning needle is orange and turns green when pitch is within +/- 5 cents of in tune. A one-tap control switches between flat and sharp spellings of enharmonic notes. Listed choices include saxophones, brass, strings, woodwinds, guitar and ukulele, bells, recorder, and voice in bass or treble clef. Bandmate is available on Android, iOS, and the web; the browser version works on Chromebooks, Android devices, or any device with a web browser. The maker says it has no third-party ads and was created for use in any school system. Its privacy policy says it does not collect or share personal information. The plan is free.
