### 5/5 — A fully accessible guitar tuner!

*2026-05-26, version 2025.1*

As a totally blind musician, I've been looking for a tuner that is accessible with Voiceover. Your Acoustic Tuner app fits the bill! I purposefully didn't allow access to the microphone, because my ear is all I need! And everything is accurately labeled and clearly spoken by Voiceover! I highly recommend that blind and visually impaired musicians get this app!

### 5/5 — Best Tuner!!!

*2025-03-17, version 2024.2*

### 5/5 — I like that it respects privacy!

*2021-09-23, version 2021.5*

I was searching for a simple guitar tuner that wasn’t going to access my contacts or track me across apps so that I could keep it installed between uses. This one seems to do the trick, and I’m happy with what I found. Thank you!!!!

### 1/5 — Ugh
