### 4/5 — Awesome…

*2025-01-14, version 4.0*

I love this app! Just one thing. I’m not really sure if I’m getting the note right or not. maybe in the future you could add a new feature to where you can see like how far you need to tune and maybe an introduction to tuning for beginners. I know you are probably doing all you can but just for the future

### 4/5 — Almost Perfect

*2022-06-11, version 3.0*

I downloaded this app because it advertises working with voiceover. That is a great feature that most tuners are lacking. As a blind person I have been looking for something to tune my many instruments with. I gave this four out of five stars and would like to have given it five except for just one thing. I sometimes play alternate tunings and these are not available at this time.
My hope is that in future versions of this we can address this. That would be particularly useful for those of us who play in open tuning instruments like dobro.

Overall, this is a giant step forward for me as I need at times a tuner where I do not need to use my eyes in this working with voiceover is a godsend.

### 5/5 — Great App, could not recommend more

*2022-01-06, version 3.0*

Been using this app for years on all sorts of different instruments. All the one star reviews come from either crappy musicians who can’t figure out how to use their ears or deaf people. People saying the pitches are off but can’t even tune by ear. What a joke 😂 if you need a tuner that’ll hold your hand and tell you when everything is correct because you still are a beginner and haven’t learned how to tune by ear, use something else.

### 5/5 — Great App.

*2021-12-28, version 3.0*

Great all round app, great for multi-instrumentalists. Good for ear training. Only 99p to get rid of the ads so it’s a really good deal.

### 5/5 — 👍👌👏

*2021-10-17, version 3.0*

Love this app, so much choice, great Dose exactly what is needed, hoping they can add metronome. Thank you

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2021-07-21, version 3.0*

Gives me immediate starting point for violin -A

### 5/5 — Great Tuner

*2021-07-18, version 3.0*

This tuner is the best! I use it frequently and love it.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal App

*2021-03-12, version 3.0*

Very few bugs, very simple, and very easy :)
Thanks for my favorite "in a pinch" tuner

### 5/5 — Convenient reference

*2021-02-27, version 3.0*

Great four guitar restring and set up. I am blind and cannot see digital tuners. I still use a tuning fork, but this app makes it all hands free.

### 5/5 — Probably the best free tuner.

*2020-10-23, version 3.0*

I have tried many many tuners, this has the least invasive ads, with most options for tuning. Really good app.

### 5/5 — Super helpful

*2020-10-23, version 3.0*

Solid, basic, useful. I’m a violinist and I don’t need more than an A but I like playing around and looking at all the other instruments tunings. I use this app every single day.

### 5/5 — Great little app

*2020-06-13, version 2.9*

Great little app. Simple and just what I needed. It covers all the stringed instruments we have in the house (and that’s quite a few!!!). I just wanted one I could tune TO by ear whereas most apps I could find were ones that TELL you when it’s in tune.

### 5/5 — My problems with the app were temporary

*2020-06-10, version 2.9*

Earlier I gave a bad review because of intrusive ads cutting off the sound. It seems to have been a temporary issue. I’m happy again. 😊

### 5/5 — such great app, it's what I needed for my flutes

*2020-05-19, version 2.9*

I have perfect pitch so I can hear that the tones in this app are all perfect and it's a very useful app for instruments such as flute. Great job, so easy to use for visually impaired people like myself.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-05-11, version 2.8*

I use this app every day.  I’m old school and prefer to tune by ear

### 5/5 — Easiest Tuner to Use

*2020-04-16, version 2.8*

Since I have multiple instruments, the various tuning settings on this app have been so convenient.  Love it!

### 5/5 — muito bom

*2020-04-12*

é um aplicativo muito bom e o melhor de tudo acessível. Sou deficiente visual e por isso agradeço pela acessibilidade no app.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2020-01-09, version 2.8*

This is perfect for when I need to tune my violin

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Does’t say how to tune

*2025-10-12, version 26.0*

It doesn’t show you what your pitch is. It’s just a recording of a note.

### 1/5 — ???

*2020-04-14, version 2.8*

I tried it and it’s confusing how are you supposed to know if the string sound is correct?  How are you going to know if the sound is correct if it never gives you a signal or sound that means the string is correct with it’s sound!

### 1/5 — No other tunings?

*2019-11-28, version 2.7*

Tf man

### 1/5 — No use

*2019-08-23, version 2.7*

I play Tenor, classic 5 string and Plectrum banjo and tenor guitar the banjo option is useless

### 1/5 — Not correct

*2019-07-08, version 2.7*

The pitches are incorrect!!

### 1/5 — Broken

*2019-06-04, version 2.7*

This is a horrible app!! I tuned my cello for maybe 5 minutes and then it broke my A string! Definitely do not recommend this app.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2019-03-02, version 2.7*

The one for Viola is SOOO off!!!!! Not useful and the sound for Viola and violin isn't as sharp and clear as it should be! Fix this and you will be rewarded with 5 stars!

### 1/5 — 이게 무슨 튜너

*2015-07-28*

마이크를 이용한 튜너기능이 안됨 리뷰부터 쓰라는 말도 안되는 메시지 참 어이없군요.

### 1/5 — only for ear tuning.

*2015-03-14, version 2.3*

All it does is play the notes for the open strings to let you try to ear tune. There are far better free apps available.

### 1/5 — Not even a tuner

*2014-12-27, version 2.2*

Just plays notes no mic feature, thus its not a tuner. Rubbish.

### 5/5 — Love this app! Great sound generator for tuning

*2024-11-26, version 4.0*

Clear, simple and well-designed app. Perfect for tuning, guitar, cello, uke, and string instruments. Great for ear training too.

And for just $.99, the (quite discrete) ads go away. 

Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Easy, simple, straightforward

*2023-08-05, version 3.0*

I use voiceover on my iPhone because I am blind. This application is easy to use straightforward simple, but effective.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2023-01-02, version 3.0*

Great app, good for doing practice for intonation with drone notes. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Good for blind musicians too need their instruments by earg

*2022-08-21, version 3.0*

I like the app very much for the multiple instruments that it can be used with to tune your instrument very easy to use and very effective on an iPhone 11 running iOS 15.6.1

### 5/5 — Nice and simple

*2022-07-05, version 3.0*

I use one hand on the phone and one on the string, then alternatively pluck each one.  It’s super easy to hear off-pitch that way for me. Then guess the amount of turn, in small upward increments.  Thanks!
