### 4/5 — Now you can tune to 432!

*2025-12-21, version 2.8*

I should warn you though… It will be hard to go back to 440. I love free apps, and this one would’ve gotten five stars if I didn’t have to manually touch the screen every time I wanted to tune, a different string.

### 4/5 — Great but missing one feature

*2025-07-02*

This app is great, but there is one missing feature that would make it perfect, and that is the be able to make custom tunings. I play a lot of songs that have nonstandard tuning and it is a PAIN to scroll through the entire scale to find each note for all 6 strings. It also stinks because there are tunings I only use for specific songs, and it is a pain to have to memorize the tunings for a single song when I could just make a custom tuning for it if the app had that capability. Please consider adding this function, it seems like a small change that would go a long way.

### 4/5 — Fine tuner

*2025-06-22, version 2.8*

Does what it says on the tin. No nonsense, I especially like that it displays the frequencies of what it is you are tuning. Very helpful. Thanks so much.

### 4/5 — Baritone Guitars

*2025-01-19, version 2.8*

Tunings for baritone guitar would be nice.

### 4/5 — Feedback bug

*2024-10-04, version 2.5*

This has been my favourite no-nonsense tuner for years now. Recently, it seems to have a bug where it produces some sort of feedback. You can still tune, but it’s noisy. Could be related to latest version of iOS.

### 4/5 — Worked great for three years, now glitchy

*2024-09-30*

I’ve had this tuner for over three years, been great, very easy to use until very recently, created feedback on itself earlier today and now won’t pick up anything. Will attempt to delete app and reinstall.

**Developer response:** Thank you for reporting this and apologies for the delay. The issue has been fixed in version 2.7.

### 3/5 — This ‘was’ great, but

*2024-09-29, version 2.5*

… since upgrading my iPhone to IOS 18, I’ve been unable to use this app as it now seems to feed the mic signal into the phone’s speaker with horrible feedback results. My guess is that the App needs an update for IOS 18…

### 3/5 — Amazing , except…

*2024-09-25*

I really like this app because I needed a feee tuner to use for drop D tuning on my electric guitar. You only get to use standard or Drop D tuning on the app,( there might be a few other tuning options that I’m just not thinking of now . ) but the rest of the options you have to pay for a subscription to use, so if you want to use it for all different types of tunings, then I recommend getting the FENDER TUNING APP, it has alllllll different tuning options for free!!! And you can even make custom tunings for FREE!!

### 4/5 — Good tuner

*2024-07-03, version 2.5*

It is a great tuner but you need to pay

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2024-05-31, version 2.5*

I was looking for an app to identify frequencies for calibrating my cassette decks, and this works perfectly. It can tell the difference between 2999 and 3000 Hz. I'm gonna have perfect tape speed now.

### 5/5 — Simple and useful

*2024-04-14*

Simple and useful

### 5/5 — Nice

*2024-01-17, version 2.5*

Like it, use it a lot. Recommend.

### 5/5 — Amazingly Slick

*2023-10-06*

Love this interface and simplicity. The new favorites UX is great, and it’s always very cool to see developers listening to their users by always improving and maintaining the app. Thanks a bunch!

*2024-09-22, version 2.5*

### 1/5 — Too limited to be useful

*2024-06-17, version 2.5*

This is too limited in the range of octaves for it to be useful unless you ‘upgrade’. Uninstalled.

### 1/5 — Do not get if using for Cello

*2022-12-02, version 2.4*

Free version is NOT for Cello.

### 1/5 — Good for quick, not for accurate tuning

*2022-08-18, version 2.4*

It always rounds tuning to the nearest Hz, despite showing you the desired tuning to .1Hz, so you can be out by a LOT, particularly low notes and it say you’re in tune.
Fine tuner - hardly.

### 1/5 — Pas de 432hz

*2021-10-26, version 2.4*

Pas les bonnes fréquences 😔dommage 👎🏼
