Like, I can here the difference afterwards!!😝 ### 5/5 — Helper *2026-05-19, version 2.2.10* For me it helped me so much ### 5/5 — Very good for what it is *2026-05-17, version 2.2.10* While it is quite simple it works and accurately tells me how to tune ### 5/5 — Great to tune for students *2026-05-16, version 2.2.10* Amazing ### 5/5 — review ig *2026-05-07, version 2.2.10* 5 stars for me can’t find anything wrong with this app at all ben using it for 2+ years and still no issues ### 4/5 — Great and accurate *2026-05-06, version 2.2.10* So accurate and I really recommend. I love the fact that it lets you play different instruments like the cello, viola and violin. I play the cello and sometimes it gets off cause it’s always in my car. So yeah I really recommend it but my only complaint is that it doesn’t let you play the guitar Eco alien stuff or the base OK well this is all I wanna talk about bye. ### 4/5 — 헤헤 *2026-04-30, version 2.2.10* 너무 좋아. ### 4/5 — 使いやすい *2026-04-30* バイオリンの練習のたびに使っています。 ### 5/5 — Une application indispensable pour commencer le violon *2026-04-28* J’utilise cette application tous les jours. Elle m’aide beaucoup ### 5/5 — Simple and accurate *2026-04-23, version 2.2.10* I use a couple of tuners. This is my starter. The base point. I may check my tonality on others but this is the foundation for my instrument ### 5/5 — Simple and clear *2026-04-05, version 2.2.10* Easy to tune and switch between multiple instruments! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — NOPE *2026-07-13, version 2.2.10* The tuner is too sensitive and when you play a note twice it changes the second time even if you don’t move a peg, I even tested it by playing piano and it changed the second time, if you want a tuner just buy one instead of an app. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2026-06-29, version 2.2.10* I hate this app I tried to tune my violin and it ended up saying it was too low, even though it was at the tightest setting and it kept telling me to tighten up and all my strings flew off now it’s broken and I can’t use it again. Zero stars I do not recommend this app. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-06-07, version 2.2.10* Not able to use. ### 1/5 — Worst tuner ever *2026-05-16, version 2.2.10* First time I’ve ever broken a string, it does not even tune it right and told me to go untell my a string snapped never use this horried app -cello ### 1/5 — It made me break my D string *2026-04-15, version 2.2.10* I was tuning my D string and it would continuously say that it was either too low or too high and I kept tightening it and loosening it when suddenly, my D string snapped and launched across the room. Now, I need to go and get a new string. I am furious. ### 1/5 — It *2026-04-04, version 2.2.10* It shows what note it is but is not accurate bad for beginners ### 1/5 — Bad tunning *2026-03-28, version 2.2.10* Very hard to tune with don't use ### 1/5 — Gotta *2026-03-27, version 2.2.10* Firstly ### 1/5 — A string ‘super low’ *2026-03-06, version 2.2.10* Don’t get this app if you’re brand new and using it to tune. I just got a cello and was using this app, it kept telling me my a string was super low and I snapped my string. I thought it was to turn because it is brand new. ### 1/5 — bad read first *2026-02-26, version 2.2.10* I use this app to my violin and it broke the string because it was tight too much, but it said that the A string was too loose so I tightened it and it just broken in half would not recommend ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect tuner *2026-07-27, version 2.2.10* As a 3 year cello player that still can’t tune a cello, this app is GOLDEN ### 5/5 — I like it *2026-07-22* Very Nice app ### 5/5 — Favorite tuner *2026-07-20, version 2.2.10* In my experience, hearing my own instrument helps me to be more precise on tuning in a room full of other instruments tuning. Love this app ### 5/5 — 🎻🎶🎼🎵 AMAZING TUNER! 🎻🎶🎼🎵 *2026-07-16, version 2.2.10* 🎻🎶🎼🎵 This is a great tuner (I mean FANTASTICAL) to use if you play violin, viola or cellos! As a cello player myself I am highly impressed and recommend you download this free tuning app NOW! (Sorry if that was a bit aggressive but it’s that good!) It even tells you stuff like ‘check your on the right string’ or ‘a little too low’. As I said I am FANTASTICALLY SUPERLY AMAZEBALLS IMPRESSED! 🎻🎶🎼🎵 ### 5/5 — Just a little more *2026-07-09, version 2.2.10* It’s very clear about what u need to do but I think it could maybe have an option to keep playing the string while tuning! ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-07-03, version 2.2.10* This app actually works for people that play cello, violin, and viola. This app is works and there is no adds. If you don’t want to buy a tuner just get this app NOW. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2026-06-29, version 2.2.10* Highly recommend ### 5/5 — I think you guys should add something *2026-06-17, version 2.2.10* It’s a 5/5 but can you add a metronome to the app? I think it would help much more than getting another app that would take up more storage. ### 5/5 — Simply Tuner *2026-05-28, version 2.2.10* This is the best ### 5/5 — Simple and free is all I need *2026-05-26, version 2.2.10* Well it fits those to things so great app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
