  • AWFUL

    So UNRELIABLE! Keeps switching strings
  • Works okay

    I have been playing guitar for about 2 years now, and I'm trying this app out, but though I watched the tutorial and understand what I'm doing, plus I know my speaker and mic work just fine, I adjusted the settings and went to tune my guitar, but when I went to start with bottom E, I plucked my string, waited, and did that about 5 times but it never picked up on the app. Along with the fact that when I'm trying to tune a string it keeps changing from to flat or to sharp, so I never know what to do.

    If you could try to fix this it would be very appreciated, especially since this is the app compatible with my phone, thank you.

  • Better than a clip on

    I find this tuner works better than a clip on tuner. It’s more clear, easy to use, and it’s free. (As long as you have a device with microphone.)
  • Amazing Tuning App

    To begin with, this app is so amazing. I decided to download this app because I didn’t want to spend money on a tuner. So when I stumbled upon this app I said to myself “why don’t we give this a go.” So I downloaded it and I used it and it’s was the most simplest and efficient Tuning App. I really like this Tuning App. I sincerely recommend this app if you are a Bass, Guitar, Acoustic Guitar and Ukulele player. This App has all the need for Tuning. That’s why I’m giving this app 5 Stars.

  • Works mostly fine

    I use this app to tune my guitar occasionally, and usually it works fine, but only when I do it using the manual. The auto tuner which is the tuner that tells you when you have the right note does not work very well. For example, say I tune my guitar down a half step then I want to go back to standard tuning, so I use the tuner and it says that I have the right note for each one, then I go back through each note and it says “tune up” or “tune down”. That being said, the manual tuner is a great tool. With the manual tuner you just press the string on the screen and then it will play the sound so then you would try to match your string to that sound. It is good because it is reliable and you just have to listen to it and figure out if you have the right note, which helps train your brain so eventually you won’t need a tuner anymore. So the automatic tuner doesn’t work very well, but the manual tuner is a great tool. Overall it’s a fine app.

  • Pretty good even without the subscription

    I just needed an app to tune my guitar, searched it up on the App Store and BOOM there was this app. I think it’s pretty good just to tune, and it has multiple modes and stuff. If you’re looking for an app to learn how to play HEAPS of songs on acoustic guitar, electric, bass, even ukelele or drums this app is great and the money is worth it

  • Awful

    The app barely works, it always registers the string as another when I play it or doesn’t register it at all. GuitarTuna works much better, but unfortunately you have to pay for different tuning styles.
  • Why the constant “updates”??

    Quite a good tuner, has the option to be chromatic or auto, with a few preset tunings. It’s pretty easy to use and pretty accurate, but as a tool to carry on your phone, it’s hit and miss whether you will be able to use it while out and about or whether they are demanding another “update”, meaning if you’re not on the WiFi or not happy to spank data doing a pointless update you can’t use it. The updates to fix “minor bugs and make improvements” don’t. There aren’t bugs and the app doesn’t change so what’s the point? Next time I go to use it and it won’t work it’s getting binned. It’s fine, leave it be!!

  • Garbage app

    I don’t know what the deal was, maybe it was my phone but I doubt it because other tuning apps work fine. This thing cannot tune a guitar I’m better off doing it by ear and I can’t tune by ear. The custom setting does not work, it refuses to hear some of the notes you’re trying to and attempts to tune to a different string and changes the note automatically, and then it’s extremely inaccurate. I got frustrated, gave up, went back to standard tuning and switched over to a different app and just standard tuning was completely off. I wasted 2 hours of my precious day off trying to get this hot garbage to do the bare minimum, thank god I didn’t give you people any money.

  • What happened?

    I loved this app on my iPhone 6. I used it every day and it was my favorite of the software and hardware tuners I had. Then I got an iPhone 8 and installed it. On my “new” phone the app, in the Pro part, can’t tell that I’m playing a note on ANY string. In the other parts it tells me I’m tuning the A string when I’m playing the low E, D when I’m on A, etc. I’m not a beginner and I have hardware tuners that tell me that each string is close to being in tune (that is, the G is in the G range - I’m not trying to tune the G to E). It still works correctly on my iPhone 6, which I no longer carry. What’s up?

    When it works, it’s great. When it doesn’t it’s useless.
