### 1/5 — Terrible electronic interference noice!!

*2025-09-03*

Used to be a great tuner but not w the electronic interference nose is just unbearable

### 1/5 — Obnoxious buzzing metronome

*2025-07-29*

The metronome has had an obnoxious buzzing sound behind it for over a month none. Uninstalling and looking for another app.

### 5/5 — Love it - but child break it

*2024-06-17*

I’ve loved this app. I use it for uke. Only downside. When child squeal into microphone and pitch goes off register, app immediately dies. Now child will never know how high squeal can be.

*2020-08-19*

So I’m a beginning mandolinist and it’s always taken absolutely ages to tune my instrument, to the point where I would dread tuning. This app is really easy to use and I like how it’s nice and simple, none of the back-and-forth nonsense that must tuners have. I highly recommend this app. Btw I don’t know about the other features because they looked complicated so I didn’t test them😁
