### 5/5 — Easy to use, reliable tuning app

*2026-07-29, version 2.12.7*

I’ve used this app since 2012? I think? A long time. It’s always been great, very reliable and simple to use. It worked in a noisy orchestra pit for my harp which is impressive. Highly recommend!

### 2/5 — Nope

*2026-07-23, version 2.12.7*

Not sure why it's telling me I'm playing F when I'm trying to tune G, tells me all the notes are "wrong"

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-07-13, version 2.12.7*

### 5/5 — Great Tuner!

*2026-07-13*

Simple, easy to use. Accurate. Nice that there’s still simple reliable things that work in apps!

### 5/5 — Just what is needed

*2026-07-12, version 2.12.7*

This tuner makes it easy to tune stringed instruments quickly.

### 3/5 — Quite good could have some improvements

*2026-07-11*

Been using it for a few days now after my harp teacher recommend me it. It's a really good app although I do wish there was an option where you could manually change the note your playing because sometimes I'm playing a high g and it's coming up as A but other then that it's an amazing app highly recommend just keep an eye on what note it says your playing

(Edit) I thought hmmm maybe it just isn't picking it up because it's to lose or something idk because I just got a new harp and I haven't fully figured it out and guess what my string snapped I'm really upset and i dont really know anyone who knows how to fix bloody harps I've only ever played my schools harp so I've only had to tune it like once week but now that I've got one at home it's already broke I'm beyond sad and I hope this will be fixed along with the idea of a future of manually changing the notes
