It's not out yet, but the next version of Funiculus will have some rather large changes.
The biggest change is not the most obvious...it's the note detection algorithm. It's completely new, and it works a whole lot better. For me, it's accurate almost 100% of the time...and I'm working on those few little parts of a second that sometimes register the wrong octave. (Note: even when it shows the wrong note, the pitch meter may still be accurate...it uses a different system.)
The second biggest change is something I've gotten rid of...namely, the manual-select-a-string mode. I think it's somewhat obsolete, especially with the new algorithm. The settings menu is currently a big blank screen...any suggestions you have for what should be there, please comment (and soon).
The third biggest change, probably the graphics.
The fourth biggest change is that it's responsive to the home button, etc, and it exits properly when pressed. Before I release this version, I'm going to have an auto-shutoff feature that will shut it off in case you forget about it. And I plan on having it shutoff if someone puts the phone to sleep without exiting first.
I also may add the musical staff note system I have setup for the as-of-yet-unreleased sister program, Crooner. Again, any requests, please let me know in the next few days.

Hello, what are the chances of adding alternate tunings like drop d,e, ect, buzz feiten tempers, maybe manually adjustable cents?
For the alternate tunings: extremely high for 0.60...I'm not sure about what you mean by manually adjusted cents...do you mean change the cent tolerance associated with each light on the pitch meter. The green light is currently set up to be +/- 5 cents (the JND)...that's probably around the upper limit of this algorithm's precision. It has to deal with iPhone's input sample rate (8000), which isn't great. An d the microphone/analog-to-digital converter seems to not get many of the lower frequencies, so the algorithm looks at different overtones to extrapolate the pitch...so those are more limitations.
If you want to be sure certain alternate tunings make it in version 0.60 (due in a few days), please post the notes here...please include the octave number of the note, assuming C4 to be middle C. (Funiculus will tell you the note and octave number if you don't know it.)
