When you open the app you will notice a new look and some options along the top. The first icon brings you to the “original Funiculous…and the standard tuner. The second icon, the guitar looking one, will bring you to a new screen that has the pitch meter at the top, a fretboard and two arrows. You can use the two arrows to select an instrument…you can choose from; Guitar: Standard,12 String Guitar: Standard, Mandolin: Standard, Banjo: Standard, Ukulele: Standard, Violin: Standard, Viola: Standard, Cello: Standard, Baritone Ukulele: Standard, Guitar: Drop D, Guitar: Open A maj, Guitar: Open C maj, Guitar: Open D maj, Guitar: Open E maj, Guitar: Open E min, Guitar: Open G maj and Guitar: Open G min. Once you have selected an instrument…you can play a note…and it will show you on the fretboard what strings you are playing for that note. The string will be blue if you are flat, red if you are sharp and green if you are about right. You can then use the pitch meter at the top to get it exactly on. I never could get the strings to turn green even if I was right on according to the pitch meter. The third icon on the top, the note, will bring you to a diagram of a scale. When you play a note…it will display what note you are playing on the scale…along with how accurate the note is by displaying it on the pitch meter. The last icon, the i, if more info about the app. Honestly…I know hardly anything about music and what not…but, this apps interface seems flawless. Below are a bunch of screenshots (I got a little carrier away with the screenshots!). Funiculus is available through the ModMyiFone.com source.

It uses your iPhone’s microphone and determines the note, note’s pitch and amplitude. When you first open the app it will “Initialize the Microphone.” Once that has finished, you can play a note and it will show display the note in the middle of the screen and whether you are flat or sharp on the upper Pitch scale. If the note’s pitch is correct the green light in the middle of the Pitch scale will light up. It will also display the amplitude (volume/strength of sound measured in decibels) of the note on the side Amplitude scale. It seems to work flawlessly and is very accurate. Also, if you leave the app on for a long period of time (a couple minutes maybe) it will give you a pop-up saying that Funiculus is about to shutdown…you can tap the Abort button to keep the app open or it will shut itself down. To close the app you can either tap the HomeButton or select the Exit button in the upper left corner of the app. Overall a very clean app well implemented app. Funiculus is available through the ModMyiFone.com source. Below are the screenshots:

Note: This app is only for the iPhoen seeing the iPod Touch doesn’t have a microphone.
