frustrating. need to move the part of the touch screen that directs you from the tuner. Everytime!! my thumb inadvertently hits it while I'm, holding my phone, trying to tune. Most of the time I have to pluck the string numerous times before the app recognizes the pitch. I have found a much easier to use guitar tuner app. Thought this app was good at first, because it was way better than the previous one I used, but it still needs work. I will keep downloaded, to use as a verification tool

It tunes your guitar for you!! Ok not really, but its a nice tuner app. For those not quite musically apt yet it will show you which way to tune the string to get it in tune. You can also tap the strings in the app and it'll sound that note so you can tune that way as well. There are some ads, but they don't get in the way at all, except for the full screen ads but these guys deserve to get some ad revenue for their work 🙂

This app is fantastic. Between the fact that it allows you to tune your guitar in an endless array of different ways. Between the fact that it allows you to match a tone provided by the app, or to pluck a string and tune it based upon a gauge that moves in real time and that it seems to work fine with six string or 12-string guitars. I never realized how actually out of tune my guitar was until I used this app. Great job.

Downgrading a previous 5 star to a 2 star. The ads have gotten much, much worse, and more frequent, and longer. This used to be primarily banner ads, but now every time you try and use it, just when you're getting a string close to tuned, *boom* here's a 30 second ad that won't give you a close button at the end, you have to force close the app to get out of it. If you're tuning a guitar, expect at least two 30 second ads before you get it done

This used to be the best tuner app on the market. Now there's long intrusive video ads, that take up the whole screen and it's impossible to move past them without clicking on them and opening a popup. That's bad enough, but the app waits until AFTER you start tuning to show you the ad. So you get halfway through tuning and then a long ad comes up so you have to stop what you're doing and wait for this ad, click on it just to make it go away, to finish your tuning. Find another one

Great tuner. Excellent accuracy. There is the occasional ad with the free version, but you can promptly skip or close it with plenty of time to finish tuning each time. I've tried several other tuners and the free versions do not have the excellent accuracy that this one has. I have been playing for over 40 years and am very happy with this tuner.

Theres alot of delay, and the choppy animation makes it feel unresponsive l. It's really sensitive to other noises. Unless you're in a perfectly quiet place, it's really hard to use. There's not too many ads, but they interrupt you in the middle of tuning and are extremely loud. Which, when your hand is on the tuner, is really jarring and annoying.

It works well. Very functional with several ways all on one screen to see how in tune your guitar (or ukulele) is in tune. Some people complain that you have to buy tuning setups other than standard, like BAGDAD. While this is true, these people just need a little bit of problem solving skills. This app lets me tune my UKULELE. It will tell you how to tune to any note at all.

Works really well, lots of options for different instruments including extended range. If there is a setting that let's me actually pick the individual notes for each string that I want to tune to, I can't find it. It seems there are curated tunings for each instrument and I can't find a way to create a custom tuning. Would be 5 stars if that exists/were added.

It's pretty good. Wish I could use alternate tuning presets without subscription....I mean.....it's really not the kind of app that I need to use very often. Maybe once a week. It needs to offer much more to warrant a subscription price. However, for what it is, it works very well and I enjoy the audio strings to tune by ear to if I so desire.

4/27/20: Been playing for about two years now and this was the first tuner I ever installed. It's great, does exactly what I want and it's crazy accurate. There's one ad that pops up and then I can keep tuning. Totally okay with that given the time put into the app. Very great, no crashing, no ridiculous advertising. Love it. 5 stars easily 👍 5/23/22: Two years later I return to update my review. I have uninstalled this app, unfortunately ads have become ridiculous and it's not worth it now.

It's very accurate with the tuning. It has an add that pops up after a couple seconds or so after you watch the one add to get the tuning you want. I've also noticed that after a couple things it locks you out for the day. I'd say the premium version is worth it. This app works best when your mobile is connected to a bluetooth speaker.

This is the best tuner app ever! Unlike most other apps, you have access to any and every tuning option with just one ad. The only real problem i have is the ad that pops up at the start of use. It never loads right away, instead it shows up while you're in the middle of tuning. Besides this single ad, however, this app is perfect and is definitely worth a download!

Pretty good tuning app. I wish it would "ding" or "beep" when the desired note is reached, perhaps I just couldn't figure out how to turn sound on... ? Also would be neat if it allowed different tuning keys for guitar, for FREE. Can't 100% recall, but I believe this one wants you to pay to upgrade to tune in modes other than standard -EADGBE. Overall pretty dang good though👍

Great app, but terrible ad system. I've gotten multiple ads where I couldn't exit out of them after it was done wasting my time. So it ends up wasting even more of my time closing the app and reopening. I would probably pay for the pro version if this version didn't feel so scummy. I will be uninstalling this and looking for an alternative that respects it's users time. If I'm tuning my guitar, it means I'm ready to play, not go through the hassle of finaggling with my phone.

Great tuner, it's almost as good as my ear! Nice big visual gauge so you don't need it quiet for that last , fast fine tuning perfection that our ( my ) ears demand. As for ads, I can't be impartial because I absolutely DETEST, LOATHE, HATE CANNOT STAND I WANT TO SHOOT MYSELF (or Someone) IN THE HEAD, ADS! They jump in front of where your finger is about to be, at exactly when. Other than that, great app!

Downloaded this to try it out and see what I thought. The chromatic tuning function was working great for a minute or two until an unblockable and unskippable video ad popped up and began playing audio. Any interest I had in using the full version then disappeared, and I immediately uninstalled. Guys: it's 2021, nobody wants to see ad spam like this. You know as well as we all do that none of your advertisers are getting any money out of this, ever. Put up a banner ad that doesn't interfere with the function of your app so we can ignore it and get some use out of your product. This type of scummy behavior on your part ensures that I will not purchase the full version.

The pop up ads are unbearable, and some of them are frankly malicious. The ad appears as a security alert and says your device is compromised, does not have a back button or x on the ad and diverts you to download some security app. You have to close the app completely and open it again, just to have another pop up show up in a few seconds.

Best tuner app, PERIOD! uninstalled all others from my phone. I appreciate most that it's just a tuner - simple, easy to use, inexpensive - no unwanted features to complicate it, no menu to wade thru to get to the tuner & interrupt your creative or practice flow when you just need a quick re-tune and to keep playing. And it works every time, perfectly - I open the app and I tune my guitar. That's it! Viola! I love this app.

Good tuner, BUT, like others complain about, within a matter of seconds, full page ads pop up, blocking the tuner, while you figure out how to make them close. To avoid this, you have to agree to buy the app, but nowhere could I find the price before committing to buying. I'm not doing that. Maybe I just missed the price. Or, they don't want you to see it. Update... 4/15/24 I decided to give it another chance, on another phone. It is worse than before. Unuseable due to ad problem.
