  • Auto tuner worked, but doesn’t anymore

    I have a bass and have been using the auto tuner on here for years after getting it. Today, I tried tuning my bass again, but it’s not tuning E or G. A and D are getting tuned perfectly fine, but on E and G, it always stays on one side of the circle in yellow saying ‘Too sharp, tune down’ or ‘Too flat, tune up’ which is what I’m doing but it just goes to the other side or stays in the same place. I know for a fact that my mic is fine and I’m plucking the strings correctly, so I have no idea why it isn’t working. Please fix it, and this review will DEFINITELY be five star. Thank you.

  • App seems broken

    It can’t hear my top e string at all, it seems to be giving random and very wrong tunings with the yellow ball bouncing left to right constantly and the mic input indicator is bouncing up and down when there is no actual sound input. Just installed another app that works fine so there’s nothing wrong with my mic or Device, the app simply doesn’t work. Uninstalled.

  • Terrible for tuning

    I used this because guitar tuna was down. Guitar tuna is my go to tuning app but hasn’t been working recently so I decided to download this app. When your trying to tune it never will get it right meaning if you were tuning a half step down it would never get there and if you went back to check if all the strings were tuned properly it would say too flat or too sharp. This app also seems to be hard of hearing, I use this app mostly with my electric and I always put it up to my amp for it to hear but even right there it doesn’t hear the guitar, no matter where i put the phone it doesn’t hear my guitar. This app has been horrible for me when it comes to tuning, please fix this.

  • Don’t use the auto tuner.

    I’ve been playing less than a year. I’m still developing an ear and consider myself a beginner. The auto tuner on this app is way too sensitive. If you want to spend 15 minutes trying and still have an out of tune guitar then this is the app for you. 6 strings down from the judges.
  • Guitar tuners majorly off!

    I would’ve never thought a reputable brand like Fender would even have an error this big! Both acoustic and electric guitar tuners aren’t at 440Hz, so 4 hours of studio time wasted, by the time we needed to layer the keys, the artist that did guitars and vocals has left and everything was majorly out of tune. Cross-referenced with 2 other apps and 3 instruments. Definitely wrong. Ukulele tuner seems to work fine though.

  • I question the accuracy of the tuner

    Switched to this app after my favorite app (Guitar Toolkit) stopped working. It’s OK, but I’d like to have arrows in addition to the number of cents on the “pro tuner.” It’s just faster to register in my head than a minus sign or absence thereof. I also sometimes have trouble with it not registering when I’m tuning my bass.

    As for people who are breaking strings… are you plugging in and tuning silently? I hope so, because if you’re using the mic and tuning out loud, you should really work on developing your ear enough to know if the string is at least *close* to the correct pitch.

  • I’m a kid but this is not good

    I was just trying to tune my dad’s Electric guitar so I used The auto tuner and when I tried to tune it I played the E string right at the top it thought I was playing another string so I played it again finally caught on that I was playing the E string but I think it was the high E String so it kept on telling me to turn it up and I kept on turning it up until the string got a tiny bit loose luckily I was able to fix it. I am an 11-year-old who has not written this but spoke it out I would not recommend downloading this app as a person on grade one on the acoustic guitar. This is my first ever review and I am disappointed and excited that it’s bad.

  • Amazing app! You must get it!

    I got my first ukulele at 5, and I had no idea how to play it, or tune it, so it was completely useless at that time.
    After 4 years, we moved away to another state, and I was 9 at the time, I vividly remember taking out my old ukulele from a box on moving day. And I looked at some tuning apps and done the research, and tada! I found this! It worked like a charm, and it has multiple different types of guitars that you can tune such as base, electric or acoustic and even ukulele.
    Now, I am 13, and my passion for playing music has gone up by a mile, thanks you this app. It is worth downloading it, trust me!

  • Cool app, but…

    This is is a nice app. I love the drum tracks and all the different resources available. I only wish the app was a bit more bass friendly. The only place you can choose the bass instrument is when tuning, and there’s only options for 4 string bass tuning. Obviously you don’t need this app to tune your bass to certain notes but, it would be nice if the options were available. When it comes to chords and scales, the bass is nowhere to be found. Bass chords and scales exist!! But other than the lack of bass utility in the app, which is the only drawback on this app, it is fantastic. I’ll definitely continue to use it, mainly for the drum tracks and metronome. Add some more bass utility!! 5 and 6 string included!

  • Drifting flat when fading out

    I like being able to whip out a phone to quickly tune something. However, in the app as notes die out when reference tuning, they suddenly go flat by about a quarter step, causing much confusion and inaccuracies. That’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. If this could be fixed, I’d be much happier with it, but as it stands I have to try to tune very quickly and stop the playback from the app in order to accurately tune. That said, this is more of a backup app when you’re already pretty close, I wouldn’t trust it (or any other tuner that’s based on a phone) to be my primary tuner.
