Isolate each drone's sound before you try to tune it. A standard tuner needs one clean sound to work, but a bagpipe produces four at once. Clipping the InTune Mic right next to a single drone lets the app hear only that drone, even in a noisy room.
Set your low A first, then match every drone to it. Play a few seconds of low A, tap 'use current average' in the tuner app, then move the mic drone to drone until each one matches that exact pitch.
Tune twice: once cold, once warmed up. Your low A pitch rises as your pipes warm up, so tune again after a few minutes of playing to keep the whole set locked in.
