### 1/5 — Cello tuning

*2018-07-31*

It just doesn’t tune a cello.... or any instrument

### 1/5 — No longer supported

*2017-08-20, version 1.0*

This is no longer supported under IOS 10. 

Also gets stuck playing one note, no way to stop.

### 2/5 — Confusing

*2017-08-09, version 1.0*

I thought that with this app when I played my string it would tell me wether it was sharp or flat, but instead it just plays the pitch you need to get to. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not good at tuning from just listening. Maybe this app will be good for others, but it just doesn't work for me.

### 1/5 — DOSE NOT WORK

*2015-11-17, version 1.0*

I thought it worked well but When I try to play it sounded horrible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-( :-( :(

### 5/5 — Best Free Cello Tuner

*2015-07-21*

This is my favourite cello tuner for the price as the sound is loud and clear and easy to tune to. It also has a nice simple layout.

### 3/5 — Make one small modification

*2015-05-25, version 1.0*

This app works perfectly. No glitches, adds. It's perfect!...except one small thing. This tuner is an entire note off. Instead of giving us a C, g, d and a, you are giving us a b, f, c, and g. I suggest that you make a small tweet to make this app even better:)

### 5/5 — Best

*2014-05-12, version 1.0*

Works perfectly
