  • Guitar tuna is a better

    The normal tuner just jitters and sometimes doesn’t know what string I am playing

    I only use the chromatic tuner so I can change to different tuning types like drop d
  • Outstandingly accurate

    This app is incredible. I have two acoustic guitars and one has a built in tuner, but the other does not and I still have not purchased a tuner for it so I have been unable to play it. Well, thanks to this app, I was able to tune it nicely using the auto tune feature. I was quite surprised at how accurate the tune detection is and how it can recognize the difference between you plucking a string and any background noise around you (I was actively talking while tuning and even double checked that it tuned correctly and it did). This definitely deserves 5 stars. Of course it won’t be as accurate as a normal tuner, but it can definitely get pretty close!

  • Bizarre sounds, short tuning, and awkward app

    I miss my built-in tuner. There are no good tuning apps out there (for free). This one has good functionality for a free app. But it has quirks. When entirely re turning, for example, the notes only play for a couple of seconds - not helpful when entirely re tuning. Why not leave them going? The instrument choices are also terrible - not even at all close to real life sounds. Why bother? Just use a generic tone. Finally when you use manual mode the tone should sound when you press the string you want instead of constantly having to change the note and then re change just to get a sound out of the app - really annoying and not user friendly at all. Disappointing if this is really a Fender product.

  • Amazing, but

    This is an amazing, so good but the thing is my E string is VERY out of tune, and when I pluck it on auto tune it thinks I’m doing B, because my E sounds like B because I’m need to fix my E, anyway it switches to B and its really annoying. Anyway the app is great and so helpful but if you fixed/changed that issue I’ve had it would be even better! 👍

  • App review

    I downloaded the Fender App and I was satisfied at first When I downloaded the app so I could tune my guitar but later I had to retune it because I had put a new strings when I went to re-tune using this app the app could not tell me the difference between any of the cords or tunings following that it couldn’t tell me the correct cord for Each string. Being this app is from The fender music company I am very displeased at the apps performance I had no issues the first time the second time I had multiple issues I am not a pro Tuner-subscriber and I did not pay for that The microphone on my iPhone was on and it was close enough to the amplifier where it could pick up the sound and still no results again I am very displeased with this performance I will be sure to spread the word and heat warning of this app I will never utilize this app or download it again.

  • Great app

    A definite go to for great tuning, would be even better with 12 string tuning added
  • You’re amazing

    Sebstanfan, you are indeed thick if you tuned your instrument that high and you did it more than once without having the common sense to think “hang on something isn’t right here”. I do not know what is worse?! And then post a review so the universe can see your thickness... I bet life on other planets are having a laugh at your expense!

    Anyway the review! The app is a cool, in your pocket essential that has a “useful” feature where you can tune by ear so you do not snap strings several times.

  • Great tuner for bass

    This works very well with my short scale bass via an iRig connector & is so easy to use with the app promoting the user as to how close to pitch you are. You just need to make sure you select the correct instrument in settings, otherwise you may try to tune too high and break strings.
  • Clean, but missing a few simple features

    I have a couple of apps, none of them perfect. Disappointed that you can’t scale (zoom out) the guitar neck on the ‘scales’ pack to include more frets than just one pattern. Why not include a pinch and zoom in / out function?

    Also that the blues notes aren’t colour coded in blue. This is such a simple feature but really helps you learn where the blues notes are e.g. vs the pentatonic minor.

    Having all the notes in black apart from the root isn’t helpful and so simple to improve.

  • Good But Please Fix This For Safety Of All Guitars

    This is a great app. When tuning, you get it right every time with this app. However, I believe this one thing needs to be addressed because I don’t know if this has happened to anyone else. I recently just got a Jackson Bass Guitar, and as of writing this post I had it for not even 3 hours. I used the app and the Rumble 25 amp that Fender also built to tune it. I was tuning my G string and it was saying it was still -49cts when out of no where, the guitar string just broke. Now I have to drive back 20 miles to get my brand new guitar restringed, and add to the near $800 bucks I’ve spent on it alone. I don’t know if this has happened to anyone else, but I do think that this needs to be addressed. Something needs to be done so Bass Guitars are easier to tune. Other than that, this app really is great.
