EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO START PLAYING Pick up your ukulele, open the app and start making music. YMA Uke Tuner brings your everyday ukulele essentials together in one beautiful place: a precise tuner, metronome, complete chord chart and reference tones. No jumping between apps. No ads. No subscription. Just your ukulele and everything you need to enjoy playing it. TUNE WITH CONFIDENCE Play a string and the app recognises which one you're tuning, then gently guides you towards the right pitch. • Automatic string detection • Live frequency displayed to two decimal places • Stable, easy-to-read tuning display • Lock any string when you want to focus on it • Clear arrows guide you up or down • Green needle and string let you know when you're in tune Tune up, settle in, and you're ready to play. THEN MAKE SOME MUSIC Tuning takes a moment. Playing is where the fun begins. That's why your metronome, chord chart and reference tones are already waiting right beside your tuner. No extra purchases. Nothing else to unlock. METRONOME Find a comfortable groove and let it carry you. Choose any tempo from 40 to 220 BPM with the tactile retro dial, or explore presets for waltz, ragtime, march, polka, barcarolle and straight four. Whether you're learning your first rhythm or simply enjoying a quiet practice session, your beat is always there when you need it. COMPLETE UKULELE CHORD CHART Found a chord you don't know yet? Your chord chart is right there. Browse a complete collection of ukulele chord shapes on one page and pinch to zoom into individual fingerings for a closer look. Learn a chord, try it on your ukulele, find another — and before long, you're playing. REFERENCE TONES Sometimes the simplest way to tune is just to listen. Hear the target pitch for each string and match it by ear — a simple, musical way to become more familiar with the sound of your instrument. ONE PURCHASE. YOUR UKULELE TOOLKIT. No ads. No subscription. No recurring charges. No account, sign-up or email address. Buy the app once and your tuner, metronome, chord chart and reference tones are all there from the very first moment. PRIVATE & OFFLINE Your microphone signal is analysed directly on your device. Nothing needs to be uploaded, and the tuner works without an internet connection. Your ukulele doesn't need Wi-Fi. Neither should your tuner. MAKE IT YOURS Choose the warm feel of wood or the shine of polished chrome and set the mood with three island backdrops. Sunlight, sunset or moonlight — choose the atmosphere that feels right, pick up your ukulele and play. The retro-futuristic interface was designed to feel less like another utility on your phone and more like a little companion for your instrument. IN YOUR LANGUAGE YMA Uke Tuner is available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese and Arabic, with familiar regional note names where appropriate. Designed for soprano, concert and tenor ukulele in standard g–C–E–A tuning. Tune it. Find a chord. Catch the beat. Play something. From Yondo Music Academy.
