It takes forever to initially get the note, sometimes registering a completely different string, then shows that even the tiniest rotations miss the note you’re trying to tune to. Feels like a rigged carnival game trying to tune a string. ### 2/5 — Good but has problems *2026-08-16, version 4.16.2* When I want to tune the low E string the app identifies the chord as G or B. Improvements: make the app so when you tune let's say low E the tuner sticks to E instead of bouncing around and identifying as other chords. 😡🎸 ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-08-07, version 4.16.2* Its very helpful. ### 5/5 — Great free app! *2026-08-07, version 4.16.2* Super easy to use works great and is completely free ### 5/5 — Beginner! *2026-08-07, version 4.16.2* First time picking up a guitar, feeling intimidated cos I'm an old git, (59th birthday present) so timing was easy....no for the hard part. ### 2/5 — Disturbing sounds *2026-08-06, version 4.16.2* Does tune the guitar reasonably well, but after tuning each string emits long intrusive ding, completely out of tune! And you can’t tune another string while it’s doing it for full 2 seconds! Wow! ### 5/5 — Great tuning App *2026-08-03, version 4.16.2* I don’t know how well this Apple work and a noisy environment but, in my studio, especially for setting up new strings it works great! ### 4/5 — Great App *2026-08-02, version 4.16.2* This app works most of the time like 80% of the time when does it’s great! ### 5/5 — Perfection *2026-07-31, version 4.16.2* This tuner makes it so easy. It takes the guess work out and allows you to train your ears on which way to adjust your strings. When your done your guitar sounds like a well tuned, expensive piece of equipment even If it's not . ### 4/5 — Good *2026-07-28, version 4.16.2* Really good tuner ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fender tune sucks *2026-08-17, version 4.16.2* Actual hot dog water. Convinced the other reviews are fake. Tuner is dog sh¡t ### 1/5 — Bad app *2026-08-12, version 4.16.2* Horrible app doesn’t now what note your playing ### 1/5 — Awful app *2026-08-11, version 4.16.2* Lots of better options out there ### 1/5 — One star great app *2026-08-11, version 4.16.2* Just filling up one star review Get it now, ### 1/5 — PLEASE READ BEFORE DOWNLOADING *2026-08-06, version 4.16.2* This app is absolutely horrible I’m using a electric guitar and I’m trying to tune it but it always makes the chords completely of key and also makes some chords so high it doesn’t even vibrate, it doesn’t work well and leaves you disappointed I do not recommend at all it’s not effective if you want a to tune you guitar the best way is to just buy a tuner this app does not work, and when I’m completely silent and not playing at all it will say that I’m play a key. I know you will ignore because it has a lot of good reviews but this app is horrible please do not download ### 1/5 — Broke one of my guitar strings *2026-07-27, version 4.16.2* I was trying to tune my guitar to a half step down and it kept telling me to tune up and it got to the point where the string broke. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-07-27, version 4.16.2* I swear whenever I do alternate tuning it never tunes correctly and it is better to just get a clip on tuner ### 1/5 — Bruh *2026-07-23, version 4.16.2* It thinks all the strings on my bass are G. ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE *2026-07-18, version 4.16.2* Literally keeped swiching the strings and i could never tune jt proporly ### 1/5 — Another trash tuning app *2026-07-03, version 4.16.2* Everything costs money that I don’t have, so I thought how nice is it that fender has an app with a free tuning feature? I don’t have the money to buy a tuner right now, thank god for them. Except this trash app doesn’t even work. It can’t figure out what cord I’m plucking and violently bounces between chords. I’m scared the string is going to break while I’m doing it because that’s how much back and forth BS is happening. I’m over it. Nothing I do to correct it works. This thing is so garbage I wouldn’t even wipe with it. A grand waste of time this was. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Don’t have to sign up *2026-08-22, version 4.16.2* I can tune my guitar for free ### 5/5 — Excellent service *2026-08-22, version 4.16.2* Excellent tuner 👍👏❤️ ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-19, version 4.16.2* Just great! ### 5/5 — The best tune *2026-08-18, version 4.16.2* Don’t have competition ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-08-15, version 4.16.2* Tuned my acoustic and electric pairing quickly and efficiently.
