How about this must-have addition. For only about £80 you can replace your ear and tuner ....
It enables you to, for example, retune to drop D in 'a few seconds' as opposed to what it takes me now without this device which is 'a few seconds' ...
I can just about see its use for the professional performer who is constantly changing tunings and even guitars and tunings during a show. But as that's not me I'll give it a miss.

I'd use one if it was really accurate, but I can't imagine it is. I played an agency gig last week and had tuning problems up until the interval on the first night. Between the recorded music they played as the audience came in and the clamour of the audience themselves I relied far too much on the Snark, winding up with that very-slightly-off sound you get when you don't temper properly. I did the job in advance for the next two nights.

Anything to do with a "moble app" is a big no-no as far as I'm concerned!

Isn't part of the skills you learn, the actual tuning and memorising new tunings ?
Sort of takes away part of the skill for me, and for that reason, am oooot !
