Loved it until I didn’t

Too many adds you’re interrupted constantly and this most recent time it wouldnt even pick anything up so I’m uninstalling and trying a new app.
i never leave reviews oki never leave reviews ok

Response from developer

Sorry to hear about your recent experience. The tuner uses the device’s microphone, so if mic permission was turned off or another app was using it, detection can stop working temporarily. Regarding ads — they help keep all tuning features free, but you can remove them permanently with a one-time “Remove Ads” option in the app. Thanks for having used the tuner for so long — we hope you’ll give it another try! 🎸

Spam / scam

First time I opened the app I immediately started getting scam messages my Apple account is being charged large amounts$$$ . I was being requested to click a yes/no link. I deleted and never used the mandolin app.
Beware of Bottom Feeders!Beware of Bottom Feeders!

Response from developer

This claim is completely incorrect — our app does not and cannot send messages, charge accounts, or display pop-ups outside the App Store. We never request payment confirmation links or personal information. It sounds like you may have received unrelated spam messages at the same time by coincidence. The Mandolin Tuner app is 100 % safe, verified by Apple, and available exclusively on the App Store.

SCAM HORRIBLE DO NOT GET

Want to see incorrectly notated Chords?
 -Gotta pay for it.
Want to use a tuning fork?
 -Three dollars for it.
Heck, want to go into the settings?
 -You guessed it, pay for it.

I accidentally clicked confirm purchase after just trying to see the chords and here we are :/

Having the tuner with the correct octaves is helpful. Maybe having the option to switch to octave mandolin would be nicer. As a beginner I love the cord library.
