They used to be black. Still a useful app for me. ### 4/5 — Unusable *2020-03-21, version 1.8* Crashes every time I try to access the microphone. ———————- Update to above review. The developer has contacted me and assured me he is working on a fix for the iOS 13.x.x issue with the microphone. I can’t ask for more than that. As soon as it is fixed I’ll make it 5 stars! **Developer response:** my sincere apologies for the crash when tapping the microphone button. It’s a known issue - since iOS 13, my legacy sound processing engines does no longer work, and the app crashes. In the meantime, I’ve bee looking for a new framework in order to make my app work again. Fortunately, I did find one today! Please be patient, it will take 1-2 weeks until I get published a new release of my app. Sorry for the inconvenience! ### 3/5 — HOW DO YOU USE IT????????? *2017-11-25, version 1.6* I can not figure out how to use it. If you do you know how please tell me. It sort of works but you have to pay for everything.Terrible. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-02-12, version 1.4* Shows your tuning visually to get perfect pitch. ### 2/5 — Slow unresponsive and tricky ad *2016-10-04, version 1.3* Sticks to flat as I adjust up three notes then updates to high. Sticks to high as I lower three notes. More unresponsive I have not seen. ### 3/5 — ugh *2016-09-01, version 1.2* I'm having a hard time using this. it's a bit. frustrating ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2016-08-27, version 1.2* I love it. The part that shows you how far out of tune you are is amazing, especially for a beginner like me. Obnoxious ads are a good price to pay. ### 5/5 — YAYAYAYAYYSYSYAYA *2016-08-13, version 1.2* It took less than 5 minutes to tune with. I'm so excited I found one this good. ### 4/5 — Works well enough *2016-07-14, version 1.2* The battery in my tuner died but I didn't have any more batteries around the house so I thought I would download a tuner app. My ukulele was HORRIBLY out of tune but this app fixed it! My only issue with the app was that it was incredibly slow when I was trying to tune. I plucked the string I was tuning and it wouldn't respond right away for me. I thought it was telling me to keep tightening when I was actually too tight, if you know what I mean. This app does gets the job done, although there are better tuners out there. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-06-26, version 1.2* Really great. I lost my electronic tuner and it works almost just as well. ### 5/5 — The Best Free Ukulele Tuner Out There *2016-06-22, version 1.2* Hi! I just got my ukulele, and one probably I face almost every time I go to play it is that it's very out of tune. My family is of no help, and the one friend who helped me can only do it because she has the ear for it and sadly can not easily and quickly teach me. I sat here for an hour searching for tuner apps to help me. Pianos are no good, guitar tuners are no good, and most of the good ukulele tuners cost money. All of the free ukulele tuners that come up before this app in a search are hokey. I absolutely love and adore this app, it's extremely helpful. I recommend this to anyone looking for a free, helpful, automatic tuner! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-07-11, version 2.0* Used to be decent **Developer response:** could you please describe what exactly you dislike from this app? This helps me to improve ... ### 1/5 — No *2020-03-29, version 1.8* This app was not very accurate for me... -_- ### 1/5 — Inconsistent *2018-08-12, version 1.8* Worst app ever. It says it’s in tune and when I go back to double check it says it’s not! **Developer response:** My apologies - I'll try to reproduce that: maybe there have been problems with background sounds? ### 1/5 — Don’t even bother *2018-07-14, version 1.8* I couldn’t even get on to use it unless I pay eight bucks a month for a subscription fee. **Developer response:** There is no subscription fee: the basic tuner for default uke is for free, but you can upgrade in order to get more types of uke and frequency analysis. ### 1/5 — Ignoring A string *2018-07-09, version 1.8* Worked for less then a day then started completely ignoring the A string. Find a better app. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2017-02-20, version 1.4* Crashes ### 1/5 — Unresponsive To Tuning Changes and Too Many Ads *2017-01-25, version 1.3* Honestly, I think their goal is to use so many pop up ads that you're irritated into getting the paid version, but that's not gonna happen because their tuner is not sensitive to changes in tuning. It will continue to sit at the same pitch as I adjust and then will suddenly jump, usually after I have overshot the intended note in an attempt to get it to respond. Don't waste your time. ### 1/5 — Made me snap my string.. *2016-05-28, version 1.1* Kept saying the A note was no where near high enough .. Caused me to snap my string from tightening it too much, thanks. ### 2/5 — Support? *2023-08-23* Have used this app sparingly for some time. I recently started using a low g ukulele tuning and upgraded to tune. Easy to do in app, should have checked to see last update was 3yrs. After upgrade the “dial” has no notes anymore which let you tune accurately. Especially when putting on new strings, now no indicator of what note in scale you are on. ### 2/5 — I used to love it but... *2017-12-22, version 1.6* I had this on my 6s and recently got the x and it is not compatible yet. **Developer response:** thank you so much for your feedback! Please download the latest Version (1.7) as I made this app compatible with the iPhone X also. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — gostei *2021-08-03, version 2.0* eu gostei do app, ele eh fácil pra mecher, e tb fica afinado rapidinho ### 5/5 — Not sure why theres bad ratings, I love it *2021-02-10, version 2.0* I’ve been using this app for as long as i remember. its a great app, esp if you’re starting out and dont know a lot. the tuner is very simple and i even invested in paying the small price for all the different tunings of ukulele. i forget how much it was but its not bad its truly an investment. i hope they keep this app on here forever its my go-to tuner app :) ### 5/5 — Favorite Tuner App *2020-03-15, version 1.8* This is my go-to.

This app worked very well for me. I definitely recommend it. ### 5/5 — Perfect for what I need *2017-06-29, version 1.4* My 11 yr old just got a uke and this tuner is simple, easy to use, and intuitive. Depending on what you need I don't know if this app will work for you, but for a beginner who just needs to tune a uke, this app is perfect. ### 5/5 — Very good *2017-06-07, version 1.4* I'm not always able to play my uke as much as I want with my schedule, but when I do it's usually out of tune. This app is accurate and easy to use 👍 ### 5/5 — Fantastic App! *2017-02-23, version 1.4* Simple Uke is great! It tunes my ukulele easily and quickly. I've tried other apps but I just couldn't figure them out. It takes me less than a minute to tune it.
