Handy, accurate, user-friendly! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-24, version 7.99.0* Love it ### 5/5 — One of my most used tools. *2026-08-24, version 7.99.0* ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Yay *2026-08-24, version 7.99.0* Love the free tuner ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-24, version 7.99.0* Tunes my guitar well and teaches songs in a way that simplifies them ### 5/5 — Better *2026-08-24, version 7.99.0* Excelente ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Evil evil evil *2026-08-28, version 7.100.0* The guy who runs this app is evil and wants you to spend money on accident. He would eat your kids in a heartbeat given the chance. He told me this in person. ### 1/5 — offline not work .. too bad *2026-08-25, version 7.99.0* offline not work .. too bad ### 1/5 — Ummm No *2026-08-24, version 7.99.0* My son was using the free version for about a month and then he asked me if I would buy it for him and there was a sale for $3.99 a month so I said sure since you’re learning to use the guitar. As soon as I signed him up for every option except two on the menu became locked. He was so upset and asked why after we pay for it do we lose access to almost everything. I was absolutely disgusted because every time you try to click on a menu option it would ask to upgrade the option that I just bought for $11.47 additional a month. Like who thinks that’s a good idea. So now my son can’t use all of the options that he was using before. Needless to say I canceled it because it was before the seven day free trial was over but what a really upsetting situation. ### 1/5 — IT BROKE MY UNCLE’S GUITAR *2026-08-24, version 7.99.0* I did it correctly by tuning it, but all of a sudden one of the strings snapped fix the microphone 🫩 ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2026-08-22, version 7.99.0* Used to be a good simple app but now requires the internet, is slow, and tons of ads. New update no longer works and won’t interface with the mic ### 1/5 — What Happened?! *2026-08-22, version 7.99.0* This thing used to be a great easy way to tune my guitar but now it’s a bizarre waste of time. Please avoid ### 1/5 — Took my money *2026-08-22, version 7.99.0* Charged me and refused to refund ### 1/5 — What happened? *2026-08-21, version 7.99.0* This app was my go-to tuner. It was great. Id not used it in a while, redownloaded it to tune my guitar and now it’s basically unusable. They added so many features, captive windows, paywalls, and…. automated tuning? Ruined a perfectly good app by trying to milk every penny out of users by turning into a “learn how to play guitar” app and put it behind a paywall. Immediately deleted and will not be redownloading….ever. ### 1/5 — Imagine paying to tune *2026-08-21, version 7.99.0* Gotta pay to tune to anything besides standard ### 1/5 — They scam you into paying the yearly subscription fee *2026-08-19, version 7.99.0* Be very mindful when subscribing to any of their features. They will scam you into paying a year’s fee at once, and will not refund you for it no matter what. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great free and easy *2026-08-29, version 7.100.0* As above ### 5/5 — Tested with clip on *2026-08-29, version 7.99.0* It’s nice that I can have both this and a clip on tuner and get the same results. ### 5/5 — Really good *2026-08-29, version 7.100.0* 5 out of stars ### 5/5 — Tuna *2026-08-28, version 7.99.0* Great app! ### 5/5 — Best tuner *2026-08-28, version 7.100.0* Best tuner because it sounds better than ohh tbh er tuners ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-28, version 7.100.0* So good app ### 5/5 — Help on a specific song *2026-08-28, version 7.100.0* it’d be really nice if as you were learning a song there was also a way that you could get help on certain chords or parts if you need it but other than that, I am LOVING this app, it’s just so helpful ### 5/5 — Really helpful *2026-08-28, version 7.99.0* Really helpful. Helps tune, and play songs, only think kinda hard is getting the rhythm of the songs but you can always go on another app. Definitely worth the money for beginners ### 5/5 — App *2026-08-27, version 7.99.0* Love the tuner it’s a life saver ### 5/5 — Money *2026-08-27, version 7.99.0* It’s amazing but it costs money --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
