## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Junk app!!!

*2024-08-30*

This app is not only off frequency something fierce. It literally has taken out two of my guitar strings because of tuner frequency being so off !!!
Bad app!

### 1/5 — Really bad

*2021-06-21*

I tuned the guitar to the notes provided within the app and it just sounded bad, ive been playing guitar for 3 years and i just picked up a twelve string. Dont download. Also eats your data for no reason.

**Developer response:** I’ve been sure to double-check that all the notes are perfectly in tune, my other app uses your microphone to help you get in tune if that's any better for you?

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2021-01-13*

Tunes by ear, like an ashtray on a motorcycle

**Developer response:** Hey there, sorry this wasn’t what you were looking for! I’ve got a separate app that tunes by using your microphone if that’s any help?

### 1/5 — By ear no visual, ads

*2019-08-11*

Wish I had read the reviews

**Developer response:** I’ve redesigned the app and there’s a new tutorial overlay now, thank you for the suggestion.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-01-13*

Useless

### 1/5 — Don’t buy it

*2018-04-21*

Rubbish, what a con

**Developer response:** I'm not sure how a free app can be a con, I'm sorry it wasn't right for you.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2017-06-03*

Doesn't work at all.

### 2/5 — Needs internet access to work

*2017-04-15*

It's a standard tuning fork with notes for each string but eats data if you are using it away from home. Seems unnecessary shrug. I will look for another.

### 4/5 — Does what it says

*2021-05-01*

Tune by ear using app and its works. I just wish it had different tunings other than standard.

**Developer response:** I’ve done a complete overhaul and have added in a bunch of new tunings, thank you for the suggestion!

### 4/5 — Excellent

Using sound

### 5/5 — Amazing app which bought back a lot of good memories!

*2021-07-24*

It’s been 5 years since I’ve had a go with my old Fender, and I wanted to give it another strum before I sell it off to my grandchildren. My ears aren’t what they used to be, and I certainly can’t play by ear anymore. Luckily my stepson showed me this app, and it would be an understatement to say it’s a marvel of technology (for free!!!) . It took me a whole 2 minutes to get my baby sounding to what it used to be, and after then she went back to sounding how she used to be!! Let’s just say there was a lot of Pantera that day. CRITICISMS: The app photo is not very nice to look at, blue is ugly. All that aside, it’s a wonderful app which gave me one last strum before I give it away to the little scamps (would rather them playing with it than Facebook!!)

### 5/5 — Nice

*2021-07-24*

Does what it says
