Sweetners only available for iPhone. You find this out after purchase. Contact them. They will give you your money back.

I use a Peterson tuner, and have the iPhone version. But its inconsistent and not always accurate. Thus I don't use it. I find "Cleartone" to be accurate, cheaper and better. On the iPhone version of Cleartone I can set up my own tuning (e.g. Newman E9th).

I did some testing trying different settings in the iPhone version with a Peterson programmer a couple of years ago. He askes for some tone samples of what I was using. I sent him some tones and that was the last I heard from them. For example the 6th string G# can read exact one time, try it again and it can show sharp or flat. I have an iPhone 6 Plus.

Cleartune is HARDLY a waste of time. It's a good tuner, and you just either write down or memorize your offsets.
If you like your C# 17 cents flat, point the needle to 17 cents flat (it didn't take me long to learn my offsets in the early days), and such a system is quickly customized.

With a needle, you don't NEED offsets. It tells you when C# is 17 cents flat.
As an added bonus, you don't have your tuner lying to you, telling you that ET C# is 17 cents sharp

I had the same problem with istrobosoft. I would be ok sometime and the next time it was off, I had to go back to the stroboflip. I talked with Peterson and they weren't much help.
