### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2024-08-23*

It literally doesn’t work at all. Won’t even go to the next note or anything.  Fix your garbage app.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2020-12-06, version 3.2*

This is awful
I’m tuning my Bass, the notes don’t move at all, it says it’s in tune, I give it to my teacher, who has taught members of Radiohead, and he says, that is not in tune, do not use this app
Respond to me you lazy app developers, and fix the problem!!!!

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2020-07-20, version 3.2*

The notes never picked up and of it did then they never changed. Told me to keep turning and my string snapped. Horrible tuner. I strongly suggest you don’t use this 😡

### 5/5 — Really accurate if you know the tuning technique

*2020-04-12*

Just barely tap on the metal part between the 12th fret and the 13th fret and it’ll pickup instantly!

### 5/5 — This app works

*2020-03-12*

This is the app you’ve been looking for to tune your bass.

### 1/5 — Bass tuning useless

*2020-02-13*

E1 and A1 completely useless

### 1/5 — Absolutely Worthless

*2020-02-12*

The most worthless tuner app I’ve ever downloaded. Literally wouldn’t pick up any notes beyond Low E. Tried literally everything I could imagine to get it to pick up the notes and nothing works. Don’t waste your time with this application.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2020-02-07*

Tried it... nah.

**Developer response:** Please help us improve the app. We would appreciate any feedback you can provide by reaching out to support@bandindustries.com. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Can’t tune my bass

*2020-02-02*

I play bass (not the guitar) and now my bass is out of tune

**Developer response:** It shouldn't be, we appreciate any feedback. Are you plugging in your Bass? Please reach out to us on support@bandindustries.com and we would love to know more about the issue.

### 1/5 — Doesn't even deserve one star

*2019-12-17*

Every time I try to tune the string of my bass from a c# to a c it would out of nowhere go to d then all of a sudden to an a and sometimes it would do anything matter how loud it played the note
