It’s clearly click bait to appear like nude women and other suggestive stuff in order to gain attention. I’m just trying to tune my guitar man. Deleting and downloading something else. ### 3/5 — Simple *2025-06-28, version 2.12.0* Well done ### 3/5 — Sound not working *2024-02-28, version 2.9.0* What happened to the sound??? ### 5/5 — Love it❤️ *2023-02-19, version 2.8.0* Super helpful in a pinch great app thank you ### 5/5 — Great product *2023-02-13, version 2.8.0* Great product. ### 5/5 — good *2022-08-26, version 2.8.0* good ### 5/5 — Has the notes *2022-06-02, version 2.8.0* It has the notes for the guitar but nothing else. ### 5/5 — Guitar tuner *2022-03-09, version 2.8.0* It’s right there when you need it! Simple, and that’s nice!!! ### 1/5 — So dumb *2021-12-23, version 2.8.0* I just started it today and it literally just has a picture and when I tried to use it it didn't even work! ### 5/5 — Guitar tuner review *2021-12-17, version 2.8.0* This is an amazing app that makes it easy to tune your guitar ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The worst. *2026-05-07, version 2.12.0* The arguably the worst guitar app ever. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all! No sound comes out *2024-12-15, version 2.10.0* It worked fine before the update to iOS 17, but now it doesn’t work at all. Too bad because it was one of the better tuners out there. Hopefully the creator can get this thing fixed to work. ### 1/5 — No sound *2024-02-12, version 2.9.0* App will not play sounds can’t get it to work used to be my go to app for tunning ### 1/5 — Proper awful, this app only wants you to aDownload other apps *2024-02-05, version 2.9.0* What happened to actually helping your fellow people, this is just a scam, go on YouTube for the tones you need. SMH, dev should be ashamed ### 1/5 — Can’t recommend it. Fairly useless on an iPad *2023-11-22, version 2.9.0* You have to take it off of silet mode. Will not operate in landscape, only portrat. Does not “listen” and provide tuner guidance. Not a great experience. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2023-11-17, version 2.9.0* Bait and switch ### 1/5 — DONT DOWNLOAD USELESS APP *2023-09-06, version 2.9.0* USELESS APP DOESNT HAVE AUTO TUNING MIGHT AS WELL USE GARAGE BAND AND TAP THE STRINGS YOURSELF DONT DOWNLOAD THIS PIECE OF SHOT APP USE GUITAR TUNA ### 1/5 — No longer works *2023-08-09, version 2.9.0* No sound anymore ### 1/5 — Ad banner placement *2023-05-16, version 2.8.0* Ad banner is right where you have to press so you accidentally tap on it. Pretty scummy. ### 1/5 — Garbage Adware *2023-05-13, version 2.8.0* This is garbage adware don’t download. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy peasy *2026-06-23, version 2.13.0* I’ve been using this app for years and it’s very easy to use no matter what kind of tuning you need it is there. I use it definitely weekly or more. Definitely recommend ### 5/5 — Reliable *2026-06-10, version 2.13.0* This tuner is reliable for many many different tunings 🎸 ### 5/5 — Handy Piece of Kit *2026-06-07, version 2.13.0* For those nights when regular turning is just a wee high, this comes in especially handy for dropping it to the “Dm 7 sus 4” of a full tone down expeditiously. Even laryngitis has a tough time beating that God’s blessings, John. (it also encourages alternate tunings; and, for people like me to delve into that, I need encouragement. ### 5/5 — Essential *2025-05-20, version 2.12.0* If you play guitar, this is an essential simple piece of kit that you’re more than likely carry with you everywhere – even when you forget, lose or find a dead battery without replacement for your clip on tuners. Excellent job to whomever originated this app. God bless. ### 5/5 — Tonal help for aging ears! *2025-02-12, version 2.11.0* When I have no tuner and it’s quiet this is a great help! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-12-21, version 2.10.0* This is exactly what I needed!! Thank you! I wasn’t even sure what to ask for, I have quite a few guitar tuners but they all go from me plucking the string but I needed to be able to hear what the E string sounds like, then I can tune my guitar! Thanks again!! 5 star!! ### 5/5 — Nice tuner! *2024-06-12, version 2.10.0* Great!! ### 5/5 — Max *2023-10-20, version 2.9.0* Wonderful. ### 5/5 — Excellent Tuner *2023-07-03, version 2.9.0* I have been using this tuner for quite some time, and I have had no complaints whatsoever up until the latest update. The only issue, be it menial regarding functionality, is that the app can no longer be viewed in landscape screen mode. My tablet is always in landscape orientation, so this is a bit cumbersome having to reorient the tablet, physically, onto portrait mode, otherwise I have to use the app sideways, which is not optimal and rather annoying. But, this is the only pitfall with the new update, so I will deal with the inconvenience. Cheers ### 5/5 — Fantastic App..!!!! *2023-06-25* Have used this app for years and it’s flawless ..!! Should have sent you a positive review sooner guys .. sorry about that but I,ll say it again … A BETTER TUNING APP YOU WILL NOT GET…!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
