      I just use a free app on my iPod that seems pretty sufficient. It has a needle that goes sharp and flat to show u a range. It also can change keys. I use either Eb or Bb. It’s called free chromatic tuner. It seems pretty good for me.

        i use an ap on my i-touch called tunable, which is a metronome and
        a tuner. i like the metronome because it flashes colours in time,
        which helps if i cant hear the beats, in can see if i’m in time.

        i was also worried the ap wasn’t reliable, so i bought this
        beast

        http://www.sax.co.uk/korg-tm50-tunermetronome.ir

        it turns out the ap’s on the i-touch are just as reliable!

        the problem with the korg – it only shows concert pitch,
        with the ap i can get it to display alto sax pitch instead!

        but don’t rule out the old fashioned way – just use the notes on a keyboard or piano, which is my preference

          when i play JF’s backing tracks on my i-touch connected
          to a speaker system, i use the tunable ap

          https://appsto.re/gb/7HzrK.i

          at the same time to record my sax using my i-touch.

          i also bought an ap called n-track

          https://appsto.re/gb/gDMpz.i

          After recording my sax using the tunable ap, the
          tunable ap allows me to open the recording in the
          n-track ap. I then use the n-track ap to e-mail it to
          my pc!

          welcome to my boring world of recording!

            Who cares if it’s boring James as long as it’s working for you. We all learn and function differently. Options are great because what works for one may not be as effective for someone else.

                Thanks guys, I’ll check them out. Jake makes a great point about what works for one person may not work well for someone else–same thing holds true with so many things like MPs and Reeds. So many things are “subjective”.

                  I use a free app called- PANO Tuner. I-phone or Android.
                  It responds fast enough so that I can have it near a speaker of a recording I did, and I can see how in tune dynamically the notes are being played. Of course the notes you will want to zero in on have to have a little duration/sustain to them. It will even respond to the speed of a vibrato and you can watch if the vibrato biases sharp or flat.
                  You will readily see the notes you need to correct with embrochure.
