### 3/5 — Excelente app

*2024-11-12, version 3.2*

Gostei muito, fiz varias compras e usei por um bom tempo, porém comprei um iPhone novo e baixei o app e ele pede p comprar novamente, como se zerasse as compras q eu já fiz, não tem opção de login onde ficariam salvas as compras.

### 4/5 — Avaliação

Aplicativo muito bom para primeira posição ajuda bastante na afinação mas para outras posições é necessário pagar mas está me servindo bem por enquanto.

### 4/5 — C major has an error

*2022-02-24, version 3.2*

C major has e flat showing instead of e natural.
Also it always tunes to 442 even when you change the setting to 440. Other than that, it a really well designed and useful app.

### 5/5 — Works great!

Despite the bad images in the preview it's actually really good. I own a viola and the app sounds just like it. The free functions of the app is playing Notes and hearing Notes and telling you whether it's too high or just too low.

### 5/5 — Actually Really Good?!

*2018-02-24, version 2.0*
