Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Acoustic Guitar Tuner Basic at 4.5 against Tuner Eclipse's 3.7. Acoustic Guitar Tuner Basic also leads on ratings volume (561 vs 24). Tuner Eclipse's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 31%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Acoustic Guitar Tuner Basic holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Acoustic Guitar Tuner Basic has 561 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Acoustic Guitar Tuner Basic's written reviews are positive against 70% of Tuner Eclipse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
