It used to be a really great tuning and and learning tool. ### 3/5 — Не исправность. *2025-03-16, version 3.6* Имеется скрип ( посторонний звук) после обновления на версию iOS 18.0 и выше. В целом очень хорошо. В плане того, что есть раскладка нот на грифе. ### 2/5 — Проблема *2024-10-17, version 3.6* Тюнер трещит ### 4/5 — 不錯的APP *2024-10-05, version 3.6* 最近壞了沒人修理-可維修ㄧ下嗎 ### 2/5 — iPad無法收音 *2024-05-12, version 3.6* 請問要怎麼調整iPad才能收到音呢？拉好幾個音才會顯示一次。手機不會有這個問題 ### 2/5 — Bug in changing pitch of a4 *2023-08-07, version 3.6* It should be possible to change the pitch of A4, but it always jumps back to 442 Hz, even with the pro-features purchased. ### 1/5 — 途中で動作停止する！ヴァージョンアップなし？ *2023-01-03, version 3.6* 使えない。 ### 2/5 — 已付費購買功能,但拍子機那邊會突然停下 *2022-06-10, version 3.6* 已付費購買功能,但拍子機那邊會突然停下 ### 3/5 — Very useful but hurt my phone *2022-05-29, version 3.6* I usually just open it along with my practicing to double check the pitch, very timely and useful, but after keeping it on for 30min or so, my phone becomes hot and it consumes much battery according to the battery report. ### 1/5 — Не покупайте ничего. *2021-11-15, version 3.4* Я столкнулся с кнопкой купить всё! Окей подумал я! Наслажусь настройками программы! Увы! Одна вкладка открылась а остальные с рекламой и с закрытыми возможностями. Чтобы купить нужно выложить точно столько, сколько списали за прошлое окно! Почему нельзя выставить полную цену? Вы считаете свой продукт не достойным? Или думаете что проще заработать на любопытстве пользователей? Программа не для новичков. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The popping noise can‘t be solved for a long time! Developer abandoning updates :( *2026-06-16, version 3.6* The noise is so loud that the app cannot be used properly. Using this app will likely ruin the iPhone's speaker soon. Has the developer given up on bug fixes or updates? Even after sending emails, there's no response or debugging. This app is currently causing crashes by attempting to bypass iOS's standard sound output system, which changed long ago, and directly control the device hardware (low-level audio). This occurs because the iPhone's high-performance microphone/speaker drivers are incompatible with the app's outdated audio engine, making it a compatibility flaw inherent to this old-fashioned app itself. Please update it. Or remove in-app purchase. And this app can't detect the pitch properly. It displays about 6-7hz higher than the correct pitch. 잡음이 너무 커서 앱을 정상적으로 사용할 수 없습니다. 이 앱 사용하다가는 아이폰 스피커 곧 망가질듯. 개발자가 버그 수정이나 업데이트를 포기한 건가요? 이메일 보내봐도 답변도 디버깅도 없네요. 이 앱은 오래 전에 바뀐 iOS의 표준 사운드 출력 시스템을 완전히 무시하고 기기 하드웨어를 직접 제어(low-level Audio)하려다 충돌을 일으키는 상태입니다. 아이폰 고성능 마이크/스피커 드라이버와 해당 앱의 구형 오디오 엔진이 서로 맞지 않아 발생하는 현상으로, 이 오래된 앱 자체의 호환성 결함입니다. 제발 업데이트 좀 하시길. 인앱 결제를 없애든지. 그리고 이 앱은 음정을 제대로 감지하지 못합니다. 올바른 음정보다 약 6-7hz 높게 감지하여 표시합니다. ### 1/5 — The popping noise can‘t be solved for a long time!

The microphone on newer devices causes noise rendering the entire app usless. Tuning is half a semitone off on every note, whether fingered or open. This app has no support. Don’t waste your time and especially don’t waste your $$ on this app. ### 1/5 — The popping noise can‘t be solved for a long time *2025-11-18* I can’t use the app normally because of the loud noise. Can‘t I get a refund for in-app payment? Has the developer given up on any bug fixes or updates? ### 1/5 — Payé mais pas de différence *2025-05-08, version 3.6* J,attend le résultat… ### 1/5 — LOTS of BUGS *2025-01-29, version 3.6* Beware of malfunctioning products! ### 1/5 — LOTS of BUGS *2024-12-29* Beware of malfunctioning products! ### 1/5 — Violin Tuner - Pitch *2024-12-17, version 3.6* I really loved this app but now there is a crackling noise that I can’t get rid of and it affects my tuning. I don’t see where I can upgrade this app but I really do miss not being able to use it ### 1/5 — Muito ruim *2024-09-29, version 3.6* A música no aspecto geral está relacionada ao som e esse app não transmite por Bluetooth nem o metrônomo Poderia ser muito melhor se o fizesse. Além de que agora começou a fazer um ruído insuportável o app está inútil não dá para usar pra nada. Só joguei do fora, nada recomendo principalmente pq o pós venda não funciona. Estou sendo ignorado a meses. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mr. *2025-10-04, version 3.6* Excellent Violin tuner, I’ve found it very helpful over the years! ### 5/5 — Top! *2025-09-10, version 3.6* Super App, hat zwar winzige Transaktionen (1€), funktioniert aber auch vollauf ohne und ohne Werbung!! ### 5/5 — 好用 *2025-07-18, version 3.6* 好用 ### 5/5 — 好用 *2024-12-27, version 3.6* 音感不好或是新學琴的好工具。 ### 5/5 — Great app! A couple of feature requests 🙏 *2024-11-02, version 3.6* Great app! Thank you! I use it to learn chord notes on a violin when travelling without an instrument. I just chose the needed scale and then practice note positions by pressing notes on a fretboard. I have three feature requests: 1 - when I’m using headphones the app still uses the main phone speaker instead of headphones (I use iPhone 16 pro) 2 - the app makes unpleasant loud noice trying to play the sound from microphone. I don’t need this feature and would be happy to disable the mic and it’s sound in the app. I’ve disabled the mic in system settings for this app, but it asks to enable it on every screen, which is annoying. 3 - One useful feature for me would be to be able to choose specific chord (for example Am7#11) to highlight it’s notes on a fretboard. Programming chord sequences could be useful, too. ### 5/5 — 真心超级好用！ *2024-08-11, version 3.6* 希望开发者能长期开放！谢谢 ### 5/5 — Tutorial de uso *2024-01-25, version 3.6* O aplicativo é excelente. É indicado para quem precisa estudar escalas musicais dentre outras. Precisa somente de um tutorial explicando as funcionalidades. ### 5/5 — 助かりました。 *2022-05-06, version 3.6* ちょっと高いけど助かりました。 ### 5/5 — こんなアプリがあったのか！ *2022-03-03, version 3.5* 是非はともかく、初心者には非常に有難いアプリ。チューナーのみならずメトロノーム及び全調の指板表まで付いていて、音程の微妙な差異までリアルタイムで表示してくれる。これに頼り過ぎると上達は遅くなるが、音程確認や修正に、適切に上手く利用すれば極めて利便性が高く、痒い所に手が届く優れものである。 ### 5/5 — 練琴好幫手 *2022-02-26, version 3.5* 練琴好幫手 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
