### 3/5 — L’oreille

*2021-08-06*

Si vous n’en avez pas pour régler les cordes, passez à autre chose. Sinon,c’est un bon basique.

### 4/5 — Good

*2020-07-30*

Very good

### 1/5 — Não funciona

*2020-07-20*

Não funciona, ele nao afina e não reconhece as cordas

### 4/5 — Mto bom

*2020-03-06*

Ok falta ser mais intuitivo

### 1/5 — Not good

*2019-12-07*

Adds were popping up every 5 seconds and it told me to keep going higher but that made my guitar string break. I do not understand why this app has 4 stars but it doesn’t deserve them

### 1/5 — Lacking

*2019-08-28*

Ads repetitively popping up is so annoying

### 3/5 — Ok but confusing

*2019-06-03*

This app is good to tune your guitar quickly but can be confusing at times. The colours that the strings light up are confusing; you would expect it to light up the same colour for all the strings when it is right but they are all different!!!!! What’s more is that there is nothing to say what the colours mean. However if you just look at the Hz then you can figure it out.

**Developer response:** Hello! The colors are unique for each string. If the green light comes up and the Hz value is matched, then the string is in tune! Thanks for your review.

### 1/5 — Muita propaganda

*2019-04-24*

Além de ser muito ruim !! Não recomendo !

**Developer response:** O aplicativo funciona *muito bem* e permite afinar até *3* modos, por algo tem mais de 6 anos no mercado com críticas muito boas. Os anúncios são poucos e se você não gostar deles você pode comprar algumas das funções e eles serão eliminados automaticamente sem custo adicional.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2019-04-17*

Utter effing rubbish rip off as well use a different tuner don’t waste your money! 

AVOID 

if i could give zero stars i would its that bad

**Developer response:** The app tunes your guitar very well and brings you 3 different tuning modes as Standard, Half Step Down and Drop D. Advanced functions as Tuning fork and Settings are sold separately through In-app purchase.

### 3/5 — 詐欺

*2019-04-06*

お金を払ったのに半音下げチューニングできなかった。それに最初の画面から違う画面に行くと戻れなくなった。少額だから事が公になってないだけで、これは詐欺アプリです。

と思ったら、すごい後になって使えるようになった。反映があまりにも遅い亀の方がまだましだ。

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2019-01-29*

Theirs a ad every five seconds but its the only tuner that let you use custom tuning with out paying for it but less ads

**Developer response:** You can remove all the ads for just 0.99 cents or by purchasing any of the additional functions as advanced settings or tuning fork for free!

### 2/5 — Opnião

*2016-03-18*

### 1/5 — Grottenschlecht

*2024-02-22*

Keine Ahnung, wie die App funktionieren soll. Geld für nichts. Werde alles löschen.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-07-15*

The fact that it says “FOR BEGINNERS” makes you think oh yeah I should get this if I have literally NO EXPERIENCE WITH A GUITAR.... right? WRONG! If you are a person that randomly bought a guitar and it needed tuning and you had no idea how to tune or how to play or even what the strings were called you would have no idea what this game was talking about because the first instruction it gave ME was “down D” like I would even know what down D ment!!!  I do not recommend this 1 star garbage.     Did not work for this guitar

### 1/5 — Зря скачал

*2023-05-14*

Непонятно как пользоваться, ужасный интерфейс

### 1/5 — Что ты?

### 1/5 — Awful.

*2021-03-29*

It’s horrible! Didn’t help me at all. It actually ruined the tuning!!! It was alright at first I just wanted to check if it was still doing good. But nooo you had to ruin it with your awful app😐

### 1/5 — Demasiado incómoda.

*2021-02-02, version 7.3*

Tremenda basura de aplicación. Anuncios cada que toco un cuerda, literal; es imposible de usar. Entiendo que puedan haber anuncios cada cierto tiempo, pero esta porquería de aplicación lo lleva al extremo.

### 1/5 — アプリが動かない

*2020-11-13*

チューナーが作動しません。
金返せ！最低アプリだ！

### 1/5 — 坑钱

*2020-08-22*

随便点了一个什么东西就被扣钱了，还不用确认支付！和抢钱有个分别？
