Love this tuner
I have two tuners that I just bought this one and a 30$ tuner for my guitar. Well after using both I haven't touched my 30$ tuner, I use this for every instrument I own guitar, trumpet, trombone, and tuba and I never plan to look back if you need a tuner this is a great app that I would advise over many store bought tuners. Plus this is equipped with your phone so it's just one less item to carry around with all your band equipment. So all in all I advise this app very precise and usefulo

reasonable app
Like all apps of this type it is distracted by background noise and useless if other instruments are being tuned at the same time. So don't use it if you're in a band onstage.
Otherwise it's pleasant to use, although a bit expensive compared to others. I just tuned my six string acoustic with it and it worked although the needle did fly around a lot once it showed the note.
I've tuned my flute with it and it was useful and the needle held against the note afterwards. I found it useful in getting the pitch right for other flute notes.
With an electric guitar you would have to plug it into an amp as well, probably, to get the volume but I haven't tried that yet as that equipt is packed away.
Ultimately you're limited by the device itself -ipad, iphone etc.
Take it for what it is, something you'd use in the house or other quiet area.

Hooray!
Finally, a tuner app that works for classical musicians! So many of the most popular tuner applications are for guitarists, so it was really refreshing to find this one. I love the ability to choose key and notation system and adjust the calibration of the tuning pitch. All though I don't do much historical performance, those who do will appreciate the wide array of different temperaments to choose from. The only thing I wish this app had was a better background noise dampener for use during orchestra warm up.

Amazing!
This app I could go on and on about how good this app is for tuning. I am a violinist and this app helps tune to the finest sound you can make on you instrument. When I want to tune to a certain string I can lock it onto a certain string and and look at the top of the screen to tune it perfectly. This is a great app and is better than all of my handheld tuners combined!

Works great!
This app is a life saver. It is extremely accurate. We have several tuners lying around but I always reach for my phone. I have tuned every guitar I own from acoustics to bass guitars and never had a problem with a note registering.
I plug the guitar into my phone when tuning. I have used the iPhone built in mic before and it worked fine as well. Those complaining about certain notes or frequencies not picking up can blame the mic not the app. If you are having an issue like this, try moving the soundhole itself closer to the mic.

My go to tuner!
I've had this app for over a year and it's since replaced my old tuner when it died as I always have my iPhone with me. True that it is very sensitive but it's also very accurate. I'll be purchasing a new tuner again, however this app will continue to be used.
Fantastic-buy this!
I don't normally write reviews, but this app is amazing - so much better than my hardware tuner. I've never found it easier to tune my guitars and dulcimer etc and it's much more responsive, accurate and easier to read than my hardware one (which is quite good). I actually bought it as a pitch pipe, but it's become my 'go to' tuner. I write to picture and am recording guitars etc over samples that are very in tune, so it's really important to get the real instruments bang on. Really impressive app.

Great app. Works fine. Worth the money
Works well
Bought this when my clip on tuner broke. Works well. Seems more accurate than the clip on.
