I have never found a tuner that was easier to use. It is perfect for the beginner and the experienced. ### 5/5 — This app is the best banjo tuner ever created. *2026-03-17, version 26.1.0* This app does exactly what the App Store says it does without and annoying adds every 5 seconds. It also has helped me learn how to play my banjo. Which means that’s an easy five stars from me. I would have not written this response if the app didn’t keep on about it. But after all it is a great app and an easy five stars from me ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bummer *2025-11-05, version 9.10.0* I’m a novice banjo player, so maybe this is a skill issue, but I snapped a cord trying to tune it. I think either the mic/receiver might be off, because I use their ukulele turner and it works perfect. Don’t know why, but this banjo timer seems like a flop. ### 1/5 — Very finicky *2025-07-04, version 9.8.0* The indicator needle jumps around like crazy, and the digital display flies through a matching vast array of frequencies. I find it very hard to see which way I need to adjust the string. ### 1/5 — Weird *2025-03-15, version 9.5.0* The banjo on this app sounds nothing like mine. I had to find other resources. This app is not very user friendly. ### 3/5 — It’s free *2025-06-16, version 9.8.0* It works ### 4/5 — Tune *2026-06-11, version 26.2.6* While it’s convenient, you will need to be in a very quiet room to work the tuning. ### 4/5 — Great tuner *2025-07-28, version 9.8.0* Work very well, simple and efficient. ### 4/5 — Hi *2025-03-10, version 9.5.0* Really cool app helps a lot when my banjos out of tune! Thanks ### 4/5 — Perfect *2024-12-25, version 9.5.0* Simple. Perfect. Free. Thank you ### 4/5 — Banjo tuner *2024-09-08, version 9.4.0* Been liking this so far not found an issue ### 5/5 — Great banjo tuner *2026-08-25, version 26.2.6* I've tried a bunch of tuners, most frustrated me, this one is perfect and easy to use. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Banjo beginner *2026-08-15, version 26.2.6* Very user friendly. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-08-11, version 26.2.6* Compact, functional, accurate and free ### 5/5 — Easy peasy *2026-08-07, version 26.2.6* Nice tuning app. Love it ### 5/5 — La mejor *2026-08-07, version 26.2.6* Todas las apps de esta empresa son buenas y estoy realmente agradecido con todos los que estuvieron detrás de todas las aplicaciones para afinar instrumentos. Los amo y siempre recomendaré las aplicaciones de esta empresa a todos los músicos que conozca 💕 ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-08-06, version 26.2.6* Like the title says, does exactly what it says on the tin with no hassle or ads. Simple and perfect, no stress and is good to go from there moment you first open the app. Very beginner friendly tuner, as well. Shows with a pic which string you’re tuning, and intuitive design makes it easy to use and be familiar with. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-01, version 26.2.6* Works really well even with background noise. Many preset tunings. Easy and effective. ### 5/5 — It’s a GREAT app once you figure it out! *2026-07-31, version 26.2.6* I almost gave it a bad rating. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to use the various tuning options in the BLUE title bar but once I had the “AHA!” moment I absolutely loved it. It is by far my FAVORITE tuning tool. It is accurate and it is very easy to use. I’m embarrassed that it took me so long to figure it out but I am in my late 70s so I can use that as an excuse. This is a great app! ### 5/5 — Where and when needed *2026-07-06, version 26.2.6* Suggested by a YouTube channel and is always there when I need it. ### 5/5 — Best Banjo Tuner Ever *2026-07-01, version 26.2.6* It’s free, no in-app purchases, no nonsense. Blew my mind away for something to be this great and this free in 2026. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
