I downloaded Perfect Pitch, and tried to use it to tune my banjo cumbus. Yes, I was able to get the instrument in tune, but Perfect Pitch was really a little too perfect for my purposes. The pitch of a note played on an acoustic instrument is not constant, so the ear is a better judge of tuning than this very exacting bit of software. If your instrument is electronic, and entirely without vibrato, Perfect Pitch will read its tones perfectly -- but then, if that is the case, you don't need a tuner.

As the previous comment says: this is a freeware application where you actually want to pay for. Although I don't like to be suggested a price (as is appearing after 5 times using the app. Will this reappear, even after I have paid??), but I certainly like to donate some dollars to reward the developer, for giving this perfect app away for free!
So to have found one that doesn't crash and is free for use, unless you feel like donating some money, is a great boon on its' own. To then find that it works quite perfectly for my trumpet, even though somebody mentioned it doesn't bode well for acoustic instruments.
The reason I had downloaded this piece of software was to check which pitch my several didgeridoos were tuned for. This the software, not surprisingly, had some trouble with those, but by keeping my tone as pure and unwavering as possible was still able to give me a good indication.
I tested this by having my conductor lend me his pitching hardware the same evening to double-check the two didgeridoos that were in a pitch that was usable for a certain piece of music.
So, in the end, seeing as a professional piece of hardware had no trouble deciphering the pitch of a didgeridoo I can't in honesty rate this software as perfect, but it came quite close, if you're asking me :)
