Outstanding. ### 5/5 — Amazing. *2026-01-10, version 9.10.0* I have used all versions of this app for the instruments that I play, like violin, mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar, and it’s truly I have used all versions of this app for the instruments that I play, like violin, mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar, and it’s truly amazing. It’s so easy to use, and the fact that it’s entirely free and doesn’t require really anything is really great. I believe most apps nowadays should be like this company’s apps, though I do understand they need to make a salary, but that’s besides my point. I cannot recommend enough. amazing. ### 5/5 — Best mandolin tuner *2026-01-06, version 9.10.0* Legitimately free, easy to use, very helpful.

App Store has been rotten and predatory for a while so I really appreciate these guys making a great app ### 5/5 — Love this - for the love of the music! *2025-11-21, version 9.10.0* Thanks to the developers for making something free. Much appreciated & many thanks! ### 5/5 — Great *2025-11-19, version 9.10.0* Great app, does the job ### 5/5 — Perfectly easy to use timer *2025-11-04, version 9.10.0* I love this tuner, quick accurate and easy to use ### 5/5 — Thank you for the truly free tuner app *2025-10-14, version 9.10.0* This app works and it’s truly free with no need to use a credit card. My dad left me his mandolin when he passed away recently and this app allowed me to tune it for the first time so I can start my first mandolin lesson. I’m one of those people who almost always forgets to cancel a free trial and ends up paying for an expensive one year subscription for an app I only tried once, so I really appreciate you providing a truly free option at a time when my budget is tight and worrying about accidental recurring credit card charges is the last thing I need. ### 5/5 — Grea app *2025-10-09, version 9.10.0* Very easy to use ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-09-17, version 9.10.0* Easy and accurate and NO ads! Thanks! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-06-06, version 26.2.6* Terrible app two of my strings Snapped ### 1/5 — Broken Mandolin *2026-01-19, version 26.1.0* It kept saying higher than it broke ### 1/5 — The thing kept flip flopping *2025-09-29, version 9.10.0* It kept saying go higher, and I did, but then it kept jumping back and forth between higher and lower. If the auto mode can’t keep track of the string I’m using, and I can’t rely on manual mode, then what is happening here I’ve been stuck on E string for ages because it keeps jumping back to thinking it’s other strings. ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD *2025-08-02, version 9.9.0* This app is the worst app I’ve ever downloaded… it kept telling me to tune higher so I did and it broke the string of my mandolin. I’m so mad 😡😤 ### 1/5 — Huh? *2025-03-23, version 9.5.0* Requesting a review before I’m allowed to install the app? You can’t be serious! ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-10-21, version 9.4.0* Broke my mandolin past down from my great grandpa to me because it “ needed to be a higher note” ### 2/5 — Like they don’t know how mandolins are strung *2024-04-11, version 9.1.6* Don’t bother. It’s like they don’t know that mandolins have double courses for the two lower strings (G and D). Each has an octave string that is tuned 1 octave above the bass > G2 and G3 and D2 and D3. The A and E strings are unison but not the bass. This is basic to creating a mandolin tuner. ### 4/5 — Great tuner *2025-12-18, version 9.10.0* Easy to use ### 4/5 — Great app *2025-07-06, version 9.8.0* Thank you for creating this ! ### 4/5 — yes for me *2025-05-30, version 9.7.0* just what the musician ordered ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best free mandolin tuner I’ve found *2026-07-15, version 26.2.6* When I first got my mandolin I had to download a ton of apps just to find a tuner I liked, and I settled on this one. It’s got a really neat easy interface and works like a charm! ### 5/5 — Great product *2026-07-11, version 26.2.6* Does the job! No fuss! ### 5/5 — Super *2026-07-04* Einfach, klar, übersichtlich, auf den Punkt. Spitze! ### 5/5 — Completed free, not a scam *2026-06-13, version 26.2.6* This works great. All I need to say. ### 5/5 — Very easy to use *2026-05-06, version 26.2.6* Excellent app. Very easy to use. ### 5/5 — Auch für absolute Laien *2026-05-04* Dank der App konnte ich die alte Mandoline meiner Schwiegermutter problemlos stimmen. ### 5/5 — Prima *2026-04-30* Macht genau das was sie soll. Und das sehr gut! ### 5/5 — Great tool! *2026-04-29, version 26.2.6* This app is a great go-to when changing strings — unlike my little headstock tuners, this will guide you to being properly in tune. And so easy to use. ### 5/5 — Great tool! *2026-04-08, version 26.2.5* This app is a great go-to when changing strings — unlike my little headstock tuners, this will guide you to being properly in tune. And so easy to use. ### 5/5 — Nice one! *2026-03-29, version 26.1.0* Thanks for this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
