### 5/5 — Bien

*2026-01-29, version 2.6.1*

Buenito

### 5/5 — Exelente

*2023-06-11, version 2.6.1*

Gran herramienta

### 5/5 — Tut

*2023-02-07*

Tuner funktioniert und ist gratis
UI ansprechend

### 1/5 — Kein Zugriff auf Mikrofon mehr möglich

*2020-02-19*

Nach einigen Jahren habe ich mal wieder versucht, diese App zu nutzen, un die Stimmung meines Instruments zu messen. Durch Veränderungen in iOS benötigt sie die Freischaltung zur Nutzung des Mikrophons in den Datenschutzeinstellungen. Dort findet man sie aber nicht mehr zur Auswahl und kann ihr somit das Recht auch nicht geben. Ergo:Die App ist vollkommen nutzlos geworden.

### 2/5 — Used to work

*2019-09-16, version 2.6.1*

Installed it on my new phone and it won’t ask for microphone access. The app asks me to manually allow. Go into privacy settings to manually allow and the app is not there. Needs updating. Very good app when it worked.

### 3/5 — Incompatible ios 12

*2019-07-04*

Une maj ?

### 2/5 — Good, with manageable quirk

*2019-05-15, version 2.6.1*

I changed my rating from five stars to two because I got a new iPhone XR and it doesn’t not work on it. I went to settings to turn the microphone on, but it didn’t prompt me to allow this app access. The app probably needs to be updated for new models of phones. 
Below is my previous review:

Does not pick up my low E string.  I just fret up 5 and it detects it as an A.  I have paid more than $30 for a stand alone tuner that I have had to manage the same way. 
Useful and simple and always with me.

### 1/5 — ??

*2019-05-03, version 2.6.1*

I can’t use the app because I can’t enable the microphone on my phone

### 5/5 — 업데이트좀 해주세요

*2019-04-07*

ios 업데이트되면서
먹통이 되엇습니다

제일 좋은 튜너인데 제발 호환업데이트좀 해주세요!!!

### 5/5 — Lo necesario

*2018-10-06, version 2.6.1*

Simple, funciona de inmediato, y es totalmente efectivo
