Pros and cons of D'Tune app for iPhone and iPad

D'Tune app good for

This app is great. Had it on my iPhone 3G and now on my iPhone 4S for years and it worked perfectly. Now that I changed my iOS to the latest version (8.1) the app is not running well. I hope this is fixed because I used it everyday
Ein toller App! Unfortunately it quits with an error on iOS7...
I have a bunch of tuners - software and hardware based - and this one is really neat, intuitive and reliable. I especially like the analog tuners - looks and operates much like my trusty Boss TU-12H, which is saying something ..
One of the best tuners I have used since I lost my main tuner this tunes great for a chromatic tuner one of the best on the AppStore
By far the best tuner out there, but it doesnt work in iOS 8 yet.
This wont work on iOS 7. I hope it will be updated as soon as possible. Thanks for updating soon 9-28-2013

Some bad moments

This was the best tuner Ive had until ios8 came out and it no longer functions.
iOS7では、 An audio stream error occurred と出て、動きません。
I purchased Buzz Feiten option at 2000JPY but couldnt enable it in iOS 8. I deleted the app and reinstalled it, but I cant find the way to restore in-app purchase.
Well putchased it for 3.99 And for the stupid buzz feiten system it wants 19.99$.more That is totally rip off ... ! So dont buy it ... You can find the off points of feitin via Google ... And hey why dont you write down How much extra you want for the feiten thing !!!!
Purchased both ProTune and ProTempo. Both have serious bugs that render the app useless. As the other reviewer stated, ProTune does not retain presets. ProTempos tempo adjustment freezes.
So you pay 99 cents for this app BECAUSE in the app store, it tells you that a Buzz Feiten tuner is available. But it is 20 TIMES THE PRICE OF THE APP! Jeez!! I think I can spell RIPOFF!
