Great overall ### 2/5 — Unstable app on iPhone 14 *2026-05-04, version 3.16* Very hard to tune using the app on iPhone. Keeps locking up, freezing when attempting to tune certain notes. ### 4/5 — Good but *2026-05-01, version 3.16* Great tuner and convenient and cool looking but the lowest note I was able to get was A0 which is not low enough for my needs ### 3/5 — It works but it’s horrible *2026-03-30, version 3.16* I pretty good helping you tune in anything but standard but it’s horrible to work with. It picks up everything in the back around and actually using the thing effectively is a struggle ### 2/5 — Yamaha 5 string *2026-03-17, version 3.16* I tried several other options but this one hit right on! ### 2/5 — Trombone player and this tuner sucks. *2026-03-01, version 3.16* For example, when I play Eb on my trombone, it says I'm playing a D#, like I don't even recognize that note ib trombone. If I play a low Ab, it says I'm playing a low G instead. Please fix this bug. ALREADY. ### 2/5 — Good but can be better *2025-12-16, version 3.16* So as a bass tuner it works great but in general it’s not as good I can’t get below 27 hertz but it can go to 987.3 hertz this is a bass tuner not a guitar tuner ### 4/5 — C…. *2025-12-13, version 3.16* It doesn’t finish the scale… it goes from C2 to B4, not from C2 to C4, it’s so annoying, but other than that it’s really good. ### 2/5 — Pop up ad every time it starts *2025-11-14, version 3.16* Back to pop up ads every time I start it up. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-08-05, version 3.16* This app works fantastically and can work for any occasion straight out of the box, it also has little features that helps you tweak things to be perfect. Also from what I’ve seen most of the bad reviews are uninformed or very situational, this is a tuning app and if you know what notes your tuning too it works amazingly. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — MALICIOUS. DONT INSTALL. *2026-08-28, version 3.16* tl;dr the app used to be good, but after an update, YOU HAVE TO CONSENT to targeted advertising or it will lock you out of the app. I genuinely want to know why the developer of this app thinks it’s appropriate to randomly one day tell me that I have to consent to targeted advertising or im not allowed to use the app. this app USED to be a 10/10 but then the developer got greedy. don’t consent to their predatory, money grubbing, privacy violating “advertising improvements”. if the developer sees this, I hope you feel ashamed of yourself. were the pro subscriptions not enough? you had to ruin the app for everyone who cares about their privacy? ### 1/5 — Ehh *2026-08-06, version 3.16* No good ### 1/5 — I’m uninstalling this tuner *2026-06-28, version 3.16* I can’t tune anything below an F 1 ### 1/5 — Bullsh *2026-04-10, version 3.16* Not even a auto tuner tried to tune bass cgcf but it makes me do it from ear ### 1/5 — Completely doesn’t work half the time and also has ads every time you open it up. *2026-02-11, version 3.16* Title ### 1/5 — Kill yourself *2025-11-25, version 3.16* Kill yourself ### 1/5 — Great guide when it works *2025-11-03, version 3.16* Love this tuner for its simplicity when it works ### 1/5 — No option to allow microphone access in iOS settings. *2025-11-01, version 3.16* No option to allow microphone access in iOS settings. So, it doesn’t work at all. ### 1/5 — WORST TUNER EVER *2025-10-29, version 3.16* ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE THE TUNER DOSENT WORK AND IT IS SUPER LAGGY WORST TUNER EVER ### 1/5 — This app is very hard to use *2025-08-12, version 3.16* This app was really hard to use and I don’t understand how to use it properly ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s a bass tuner *2026-08-13, version 3.16* It’s a bass tuner ### 5/5 — Best $5 I’ve Spent for a Tuner App! *2026-07-19, version 3.16* I’ve tried all the tuner apps over the years. BT1 is the absolute best one because of it’s dead simple design. Big and easy to see whether you’re in tune, without needing to toggle through anything. Brilliant! I can’t emphasize how grest this app is and recommend buying the $5 pro version. 👏👏👏 ### 5/5 — tuff tuner *2026-06-19, version 3.16* super good no adds very accurate best tuner works for all instruments highly recommend ### 5/5 — Super *2026-05-18* Funktioniert einwandfrei ### 5/5 — Génial *2026-03-14* Intuitif et précis, la version gratuite est suffisante ### 5/5 — Bass *2025-12-18, version 3.16* Good now my bass sounds right and I play good now I’m so Aura!!! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-11-08* Easy simple. Does the job. Perfect. Could add a metronome and it would be the perfect bass companion. ### 5/5 — Free and good *2025-11-06, version 3.16* Fender app pretends like it can tune a bass. This app did it quickly. Good stuff ### 5/5 — Works well! *2025-08-31, version 3.16* Quick accurate easy ### 5/5 — Accurate and looks good *2025-08-11, version 3.16* Much more accurate for bass than my clip on tuner. I like the slick frequency screen and settings. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
