### 5/5 — Best app for guitars

*2024-01-09, version 1.0*

I have tried a few different apps, but found this to be the best one. Easy to use and it’s free.

### 5/5 — Great tuner!

*2023-08-05*

I was always taught with the harmonic tuner, if anybody even knows what that is anymore, but they save so much time for me and it is extremely accurate

### 2/5 — Guitar tuner

*2023-07-20, version 1.0*

Wrongfully Interpreting the frequency from microphone. I sound each note right but if I tune the instrument by the graph, it is way out of tune.

### 5/5 — Best guitar tuner

*2023-07-17, version 1.0*

Very good tuner.  Very easy to use and is very accurate!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-05-21, version 1.0*

this is a pretty good app. It was free has a couple ads but it’s worth it. Has not let me down yet!

### 4/5 — Excellent !

*2023-03-29, version 1.0*

Excellent

### 5/5 — Review

*2023-03-26, version 1.0*

Thankyou for your help.

### 5/5 — Available and easiest to use

*2023-03-17, version 1.0*

Amateur at playing needed a tool for a quick tune. This was the best one.

### 5/5 — It does ONE thing…better than ANYONE else

*2023-03-07, version 1.0*

Lots of tuners get you within 10%, which is good enough…for most recreational applications.  This app only tries, with wild success, to do one thing.

### 2/5 — Not impressed

*2023-02-13, version 1.0*

Tuner is about 1.5 semitones sharp on all strings (guitar) needs a calibration function! Tested against 3 tuners (Takamine, Korg and Chord) all in agreement

### 1/5 — Ukulele

*2025-08-07, version 2.0*

Not even close

### 1/5 — Not worth it for me

*2024-05-05, version 2.0*

The watch app doesn’t work. Complains about missing sound file. But even if it worked as designed, I don’t like having to record and save to find out if it’s in tune. Too tedious. I am looking specifically for a watch app.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work on ultra 2 watch

*2024-01-16, version 1.0*

Title says it all. I cannot use it on the Ultra 2 watch as of Jan 2024.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2023-08-21, version 1.0*

Free version useless due to reminders to upgrade. Upgrade annoying due to reminders to rate. Keeps resetting to default instrument. Range inadequate for tuning if your way out.

### 1/5 — do not use this!!!

*2023-07-15, version 1.0*

This app made me break a string and bombardes me with options to upgrade or watch an add every 30 seconds, Although saying it’s free. It’s better off to spend money on a good app then to buy new guitar components. Would not recommend to anyone!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-03-13, version 1.0*

i was trying to tune my guitar and it kept saying to tighten it till my strings broke

### 1/5 — Абсолютно криво настраивает.

*2023-02-04*

Порвал струну пока крутил 
Оказалось, что на несколько тонов выше

### 1/5 — It’s sharp

*2023-01-30, version 1.0*

If I tune to the app, then everything is at least a half, if not a whole note sharp of what it should be. I tested it against several different sources. Always the same thing and made me tune sharp. If the app can’t get that right, then this is useless.

### 1/5 — Broke my string

*2023-01-04, version 1.0*

Just used this app for the first time. Kept tightening my string because it kept telling me to. Tightened it until it snapped. Not impressed

### 1/5 — My ear is better than this App.

*2023-01-02, version 1.0*

Wack.
