### 1/5 — No just NO!!!

*2023-06-27, version 2023.1*

I was trying to tune my guitar and it was not going on to the right strings it going in random places

### 1/5 — sound input device? suddenly i can’t tune by plucking a string ? change what setting?

*2022-01-11, version 2021.5*

it’s bee five stars till now!

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2021-06-26, version 2021.4*

Do not get this app it is wayyy too inaccurate for someone as impatient as me

### 1/5 — Worst tuner

*2021-03-03, version 2021.1*

I try to tune my guitar but when I do it plays the wrong thing and either says great when it’s not too high to low and it’s horrible and it please the wrong note when I try to play

### 1/5 — WARNING: DON’T USE!

*2021-01-19, version 2021.1*

I was tuning my acoustic and it said “to low” so I go to put it higher and there was to much stress and the string snapped. So if you want your string to snap, use this if you don’t, FIND SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!

### 1/5 — Way to difficult

*2020-12-30, version 2020.8*

This app doesn’t make sense manually playing the notes works fine but the auto which is the part that’s supposed to listen to the note then tell you higher or lower never works correctly it’s always picking it up as the wrong string so your constantly tuning the wrong string the wrong way because the App can’t tell the differences between the strings making it impossible to properly tune it

### 1/5 — Detecting wrong strings

*2020-10-29, version 2020.7*

It keeps detecting the wrong strings

### 1/5 — Acoustic tuner

*2019-11-23, version 2019.5*

Don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing here. Makes no sense to me

### 1/5 — Idk

*2018-08-18, version 1.1.2*

Idk

### 3/5 — Not accurate enough, but loads quickly.

*2022-11-30, version 2022.5*

Fast but not good enough.

### 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*

This is the best of all tuners I have tried!! Seriously even the top guitar brands are no where near as easy fun and efficient!! Do It!! LETS GO!!!

### 5/5 — Love at first sight

*2023-02-16*

I have never seen such a woman as you

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-06-10, version 2022.3*

Always helps me put my sound where it needs to be.

### 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!!!!

### 5/5 — Simple

*2020-07-09, version 2020.4*

When I hold my phone against my guitar and use this tuner the wavelengths are incredibly easy to hear, even with the messed up hearing that I have. Instead of lining up visual effects to tune, a natural waveform is created that produces very accurate results when you hear it against the pitch of the string. Easy.

### 5/5 — The best

*2020-06-29, version 2020.3*

This app is a life saver

### 5/5 — Great tuner

*2020-05-04, version 2020.2*

I love this tuner! I don’t really know how to tune my guitar and this app made it very simple and fast. Before it would take me 10 minutes, now it takes me two. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2020-01-11, version 2019.8*

I’m no musician but this app works great. My guitar sounds fantastic.

### 5/5 — Don Deo, (Mister Fingers)

*2019-10-12, version 2019.5*

This helps the player to tune its ear. The ultimate goal is to make the best tune without no help just the sound in your mind. I saw this talent in a old man who constructed acoustic guitars and after a long time making them and in a rush for a musician who needed one he lost his left hand fingers only the thumb was left after passing a piece of beautiful wood on a desk rotary saw. After that tragic event, people thought that it was it for Don Deo, but we were wrong he kept making beautiful guitars and when he was finish with one he tune the guitar amazingly only by ear.
