Found it easy to follow would recommend it

Rarely works but does have ads!

It worked the first few times but you have to tune by ear. Last few months it just doesn’t work.

No sounds

Made no sounds when a string was selected. Useless unless I’m missing something…

Worthless

Does not do any tunings other than G. Even that feature was not good. Ads in the way. Skip this garbage.

Doesn’t work

On my iPhone, this is a picture of a banjo with the standard tuning open string notes beneath it. Pressing the open string notes does nothing. It seems like it primarily exists to serve up ads across the bottom and on the info screen. If those buttons actually worked, I still wouldn’t call this a tuner - it would be a tuning reference, much like the recorded reference notes that start off a lot of banjo tutorials.
