Offered a 7 day trial and charged a year immediately
I used to love this app. I had no problem paying for it. But now, every time I open the app, I have to restore my purchases to get through their 7 day trial ad. I already paid for this app, so why am I getting ads? Why am I blocked from my purchase every time I open the app. There are plenty of good free and paid tuners out there that don't do this. I will never use this app again, and I certainly won't be buying anything else from this company.
stupid ads
I get it that it's free tuner but these damn popups are getting annoying to the point where I just download a different tuner that won't try to sell me anything while I wanna tune guitar so yeah..
Terrible app! It used to be good, however the company succumed to corporate greed by opting for a subscription model that is pushed so far down your thought it might come out the other side. I dont want to pay for the app and I understand you need ads to make money by every time I open a song ad when you close the song ad, change from learn tab to song tab ad, it is too much will not keep using this app.
could not access it for free, it's trying to force a 7 day trial. I'll take my ad revenue to a different app on principal alone now even if there's some way to unsubscribe.
I've had this app for years and loved it. Now, everything is locked behind a subscription. It's a shame.
this app does NOT work well
was great but now is subscription locked
ads every second
Was free, now not only you get a pop up begging you for money, no! Now they even pay wall certain tunings like half step down. Ridiculous, greedy company.
subscription trash. immediately uninstalled. shame on you.
The app wouldn't recognize some cords on a guitar perfectly tuned with the same app. Hence, learning some songs becomes impossible.
I would not recommend this app to people. although it does have some good features, if you do not remember to stop the free trial, it automatically signs you up like other Google apps do. Here's the catch though...Once you have signed up for the year, you are still not able to access all features. There is another sign-up which is way more to get full access to play along songs. So rather avoid and do not sign up for free trial
