Folks, I need your help to compile and finish my iDevice app. Need some insight!

OK, let's get straight to the meat: This app is a CoreMIDI (WiFi capable,too) multi touch (up to ten fingers for the iPad, 8 for the iPhone and iPod touch due to size and CPU/GPU management) controller supporting ALL alternate tunings, but for convenience, "snaps" (a slider allows you to go step by step, or ignore steps) gesture to 12,24,53 and 665ET marks. (Shades of blue, green, red and yellow are used to visualize how close you are to your own ideal intonation.)
Aliasing and beating are allowed as I find a point in using it to create rhythms.

What really bugs me now is how to make it simple for users to understand what it really is. Should I name it just-intonated, extended Pythagorean, microtonal or infrachromatic?It is all of that!

Any interested or wise "user feedback" will be really appreciated!

Thanks!

I'd choose more snap makes than these four, and if you have only four slots, I'd use other ones.

Ditto. Let us choose our own snaps!

There is a neat tuning interface included, allowing you to do whatever you want. I kept only four default tunings to avoid clutter.

Also, those aren't slots (slot is a special word in development lingo that has nothing to do with what you think.)

"Snapping" means jumping to the next adjacent note. In this case, speed matters.

Let's leave it at that. Thanks for your input.

I think "microtonal" contains all the other terms and is also the easiest one.
