## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Bad tuning

*2024-08-06*

Highly recommend that people don’t download if they’re looking for a tuning app.

### 1/5 — Idk

*2018-03-07*

I dont know what it means when you go up and down helpppppp

### 3/5 — The sound detection😁

*2015-03-14*

The metronome is great and the device that gives off pitches is okay, but the note detector isn't functioning properly. I play four instruments and it works for none of the following 
Flute
Bassoon
Piano
Baritone

### 4/5 — Color Theme missing

*2020-07-21, version 1.2*

Hello. I just want to say that this app is AWESOME for all my band needs. This may sound stupid, but I couldn’t find the color themes. Where can I find them?

### 4/5 — Very useful!

*2016-05-01*

This app has come in handy, and has definitely helped calm down over my pitch and tone quality before my concerts!

### 4/5 — I lost the sound

*2014-10-21*

My cello teacher wants me to play a scale while listening to the "drone" of the key note. Your app is perfect for that.
However, today the tone had no sound. The metronome did, but not the tone. I tried rebooting my iPad (v7.1) but that didn't work. I deleted the app and reinstalled it. 
Now it Works  fine with a blue background instead of rose pink.

### 4/5 — Nice

### 5/5 — Amazing

### 5/5 — Simply Fantastic!

Hands down this is the BEST free tuner app you will find on the App Store. It's simple, cute, accurate and best off all- it's free. I love this!!!

### 5/5 — Great simple app!

*2014-11-22*

No need to switch between tuning, time, and drone apps. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Awesome

I love this app and I love the themes. Thanks. Really easy to use, and it play the trumpet, so when I hit those really high "E's" I can tell if I am in tune.

### 5/5 — Excellent teaching tool

*2014-03-06*

I'm a public school orchestra director and this is a fantastic set of tools for any practicing musician. Super clean, easy to use interface, plus three tools in one app, makes it a great go to for me to use in my classroom and for my students to use in their own personal practice at home. Great job!!!
