### 1/5 — No control

*2022-03-20*

I just want to see what hz I’m in.. this app is stunting itself by being both unnecessarily “complex” and limiting

### 4/5 — Not happy with updates

*2021-09-30*

This is the only tuner I use because it’s freaking awesome. Unfortunately, when the new operating systems come out they are very slow to update. I’m giving this app four stars because of the versatility, it’s losing one full star because I don’t know when I get to use it next. That tells me that I’m talking about a very good app, but what good is it if I can’t use it?

### 1/5 — No way to change the temperament

*2021-06-14*

This app offers no way to program in a historical temperament and it gives a choice of set pitches. One may want to tune to a415, or even vary the pitch slightly, such as 440.5   Some tuning apps will tell you exactly what pitch you are at. This doesn’t do that either. It would probably do for people who don’t need these functions.

### 5/5 — Perfect for musicians

*2021-01-05*

This app does exactly what you need it to. It plays a white noise free note at varying frequencies so that you can have a pitch reference for whatever you are trying to do. Wonderful app. Phenomenally programmed. Great job.

### 3/5 — Chromatic tuning please.

*2020-09-27*

I play many instruments that are not common such as a hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer, zither, and multiple others. These instruments don’t always have a set way of tuning them so it varies from one player to another. So I think it would be nice to have a set of pitches that are chromatic, even if it is only C4-C5. I can work from there to get the rest of the instrument in tune.
