### 2/5 — Vadim

*2020-12-11*

Приложение не очень. Работает только настройка гитары да и та 
коряво, то слышит струну то нет , да и разброс большой. Как говориться , на халяву и уксус должен быть сладкий. Не смотря на то что сразу оплатил чтобы работало без рекламы, всё равно постоянно всплывает окно с переложением оплатить ещё раз..

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2020-09-02*

Awful app. Really trying hard to find a good app to tune my uke. This one just stole from me. I got jipped into thinking the .99cent could stop the crashing of the app. But little to my stupidity it just penny pinched. The app doesn’t work at all. Don’t download!! Feel like I’m better off just buying an actual hand held tuner. So much for “technology” lmao 🤷🏻‍♀️

*2019-12-24*

It works but the arrows were really confusing, and tuned differently compared to a real tuner. I can still use the app, but wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2019-12-22*

### 5/5 — Did work until they tried to put adds on

I’ve been using this app for ages and now it’s stopped working, I’ve paid the 79p and it keeps crashing and I’m still getting adds!
Very disappointed

### 5/5 — Uku

*2020-09-27*

Great for tuning as it gives you the Hz level you need

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2020-05-08*

The format is better than other tuner apps.

### 5/5 — So awesome

*2020-01-21*

Thank you for this app. Helpful and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Не забудьте заплатить ребятам

*2020-01-03*

Идеальный тюнер, нашёл то, что давно искал, можно отстраивать мензуру по всем ладам, программа просто пишет частоту и ноту с поправкой на отклонения. Всего 29 рублей, это супер цена

### 5/5 — My tuner

*2019-11-12*

Great tuning app makes things really simple when using odd tuning options

### 5/5 — A+

*2019-10-06*

Better than the premium apps!

### 5/5 — Рекомендую!

*2019-10-03*

Лагает чуть-чуть, но всё равно на 95% лучший, потому что показывает частоту и, следовательно, позволяет использовать не только для гитары. И это за 29 рублей! Здоровья и благополучия разработчику!

### 5/5 — Easy

*2019-05-28*

I’ve never used a tuner before. This one is almost as good as ears. Great.  Self-explanatory.

### 5/5 — Классно

*2019-05-07*

Удобно
