I just downloaded that app. Since the Bb soprano clarinet has a range of D3 - Bb6, you'll need to use 1 line octave, 2 line octave, and 3 line octave to cover the entire range. You won't make it into the 3 line octave range for at least a year. The terms "1 line octave", etc. may have some meaning to the app designer, but they are meaningless to me. This app looks needlessly complex, and I can't see myself ever using it.
Most people use the tuning note of concert A or Bb which would be 1 line and 2 line octave respectively.
Personally, I just use a simple app like Clear Tune or Tonal Energy. It's easy enough to transpose 1 step in my head if necessary. You'll have to do that in a band anyway.
I loved the old mechanical strobe tuner that was in my band room back in the 70s, but times have changed, and simple apps with different sorts of displays accomplish the same thing.
Getting one single note perfectly in tune isn't very important anyway since the moment you start playing your pitch will change a little anyway as you warm up and as you play different notes. Ultimately a tuner gives you a good starting point, but you have to use your ears after that.
