| I have the Peterson soft tuner on my iphone 7 and purchase the adapter from Peterson to plug my guitar into it. Since the iphone 7 dose not have an ear phone jack, it required another adapter. I purchased that adapter also but I have yet to get it all to work. Its not the adapter as it works without the Peterson attachment. Has anybody figured out how to make this work? |

I just bought this app over the weekend and got the adapter in the mail yesterday. When you bought your IPhone you should have got a lightning to 1/8 adapter. I plugged the Peterson adapter into the IPhone adapter and it worked great.
If you don’t have this adapter I would think you could get one at Wal mart etc or Amazon.
I used it to tune my steel last night and it did a great job,I have been using my phone to tune my bass for at least a couple of years and it looks like it will now be my pedal steel tuner of choice. |

Shucks, I still miss the old long iphone, ipod, ipad jack. First they get rid of that, then get rid of the 1/8" jack. I have different jacks all over the place but never seem to have the one I need when I need it.
This is not improving, this is just mean. |

| Does your iPhone work at all through the built in mic with the Peterson app? |

Boost is not under "settings". On the main tuner screen, bottom left hand corner, there is a left pointing arrow next to the temperament display. Click that arrow and the options appear:
Mode
Tuning
Display
Speed
Noise Filter
Boost |

| The boost filter was on. I talked to Peterson and they said on the right side there is an option to go from mic to plug. I see its set on mic. Im at work and dont have the adapter with me to see if that will make it work but im thinking thats the issue. |

With no cable or just the lightning to 1/8" cable plugged into my iPhone, I get the MIC symbol showing on the lower right of the screen and the MIC is active. Shown in 1st pic below.
Once I plug the Peterson 1/8" to 1/4" cable into the 1/8" port of the lighting cable, the MIC symbol changes to a DOWN ARROW, the mic is inactive, and the 1/4" cable port works with my guitars. Shown in 2nd pic below.
In either case the MIC vs DOWN ARROW is not selectable but changes with the Peterson + lightning cables being plugged in or unplugged.
There is a slight bug however. The tuner app goes dead (freezes up) after I plug in all the adapter cables until I close the Peterson app and then re-open it, but only if the app is open when I plug the cables in!

| Get the lightning to 1/8" cable like I have above. I've got a bunch of lightning cables here and only about half of them have the data connections in them. Guess some are probably charge only cables. |

I have a iphone 7 plus and the peterson app works just fine without anything plugged into it... I usually just sit the phone on top of my C6th neck when I am tuning the E9th, and vice-versa ... still picks up the strings fine when I am using the amp, or its really quiet - not ideal for quiet tuning on a gig though hehe.
