THANK YOUUUUU, so perfect.

I've been looking for a tuner app that is just a tuner, nothing else, and doesn't have stupid constant ads that make it forever just to tune your guitar when you don't have your tuner with you.
FOUND IT!! This app is perfect and exactly what I've been looking for. Amazing tuner as well. Absolutely perfect. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Thanks so much for the great review. We're happy to hear the BOSS Tuner app is working great for you. Thanks for continuing to choose Roland BOSS music gear!

To many Adds

So many ads that when you go to cycle and close them it crashed the app. You have to open it multiple times just to cycle through them all.

Works exactly as it should. Also a bonus that it covers alternate tunings as well!

Why so many notifications?

It's a Tuner. The app in itself works well, but why so many notifications (52 notifications in the past three months). I don't need 52 notifications in a 3 month period for a tuner. I used to tune my instruments with a number of physical tuning forks I had. They worked fine and didn't send me notifications. It's a Tuner. Why so many notifications?

Appreciate the feedback, I'll be sure to pass it along for you.

Easily the best

I’ve tried countless amounts of tuning apps, possibly them all. I’d recommend this always over any of the others. There’s not one that I’ve found that matches this. It does so much more than your standard tuning and hey, it’s boss.

Great Retro Design, Awesome Tuner!

Developers, Is there ANYWAY for your company to bring back some of the other boss products! On-Line there are a few Software Developing Houses that have made some of the “legendary” pedals, and I haven’t seen one offered as an IOS app, (however I do own them for my MacOS …

But the Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Pedal has been a part of me since I first started playing back in 1988, in 1990 I bought my 2nd Boss MT-2 pedal from a guy outside of McDonald’s in the parking-lot (and if this isn’t strange enough, this guy literally had it in him, he was drunk with a couple of buddies, and they needed to eat but lost their cash… ) I happen to be playing the VERY NEXT DAY, at my High Schools “Got Talent Day” and my MT-2 was taken!
His was still new, where mine had been beat up from taking it everywhere!

To this day, I still use that pedal from a little over 30 years ago!!!

To have the MT-2 pedal as an Auv3 from BOSS, with the licensed name would be incredible!

If there is anyway that you could at very least :

Respond

as to maybe “plan of future release” or the maybe the reasons why it hasn’t been released, or if the case, may not be released. I know that the “MT-A Metal Area” the emulation of the “MT-2 Metal Zone” is very popular and personally I know that there are a lot of people loved that pedal, there was NOTHING close to that sound, and still I have only found one distortion effect that comes close and that’s the “Rhino” distortion from Aurora DSP! Thank God it’s an Auv3 that can be opened in Logic Pro on iPad… because otherwise I CAN’T find anything that could replace Rhino at this point.

Thank you guys so much -Ahead of time-

Not very good

I know it’s a phone tuner so it’s gonna be a bit jankey but every time I true to tune when it was silent the light would go way off center. It’s pretty cool idea of having a little boss tuner pedal on your phone but I just doesn’t work too well. It gets me in tune but it take longer than other apps

Go-to tuner for a decade

This has been my go-to-tuner for about a decade. Never had a problem. Old reliable.

Unbelievably Good!

Honestly, I can’t believe that Roland has graced us with this amazing app. It does a better job than a lot of things you would actually pay for. I know that it’s somewhat dependent on the quality of the phone you put it on, but on every iPhone I’ve ever run it on it has been fantastic.
