★★★★★ "Do not trust this app. I have my own personal tuner but I recently lost it I had to resort to using this app. As soon as I try tuning my low e string from D to E it tells me that it’s too high and I had to tune down and every time I tuned down it wouldn’t read it…" - Game_Critic69

String snap
It kept saying wrong string when it was the right one and my strings snapped now I only have 2 left thanks for “tuning” my guitar
Do not download
When I was tuning my guitar not only did it make my guitar go more out of tune then before but it also broke my high e string so don’t download
e to E
It is really bad and is very ungodly!
Horrible
One the tuner is horrible and it won’t get my guitar tuned right then two although it says it’s a easy “FREE” way to learn guitar but it’s not because it seems like it excepts you to already know what it’s teaching you and it’s not free in the slightest I can’t even finish the first lesson without buying premium and you can’t even use any features besides the tuner without premium
Do not trust this app
I have my own personal tuner but I recently lost it I had to resort to using this app. As soon as I try tuning my low e string from D to E it tells me that it’s too high and I had to tune down and every time I tuned down it wouldn’t read it and kept saying it was still too high. I then check my b string and as soon as I got it right and it moved on to the high E it kept sending me back to the b string. I then try to tune my g string and as soon as I try it snaps. Literally all my strings are broken now and I have to wait a couple weeks or at least a month for new ones and a new tuner
Horrible
Tuning is off + every time I tuned it “correctly” the strings broke
It dosent work
No matter what it always says you sting is “too high” and the line never moves no matter how mutch you tune it.
Tune it or die🔥
As a musician, I hate when people are out of tune. And I definitely hate when I’m out of tune. Definitely makes my life easier.
Tuning
Every time I tried tuning my low e string it said it was 200 frets higher
Snapped strings
The tuning is completely wrong. It gives me false information on how to tune it resulting in over 100 dollars spent over the last six months on guitar strings. Please fix this.
Not Beginner friendly
Honestly you guys probably don’t deserve the 1 star but I just don’t care anymore I’ve been here for 3 hours trying different apps and all of them suck, none of them treat you like you don’t know what you’re doing WHICH I DON’T, I have no clue what the heck I’m doing never even touched a guitar before but every app treats us like we do, and so does yours, and you know what thats just annoying, here I am stuck trying to tune the E chord it seems and the little image keeps bouncing from chord to chord rather than JUST STAYING ON E AND TELLING ME MY E IS GOOD, maybe I’m dumb and thats more than likely it but when you’re like me and have never so much as touched a guitar all this stuff is just foreign language to me but all of you expect us to be somewhat fluent. Its just not beginner friendly at all. But the same goes for just about every other tuning app on here.
Terrible
Doesn’t pickup on the E string 90 percent of the time and isn’t accurate
This app sucks
I am a brand new player and this app caused me to break my string when I first tried to tune it if i could give zero stars I would.
Worst app
Sucks . Doesn’t detect your guitar when trying to tune . When I pluck a string it doesn’t even pop up to tune down or tune up
Barley works
This app sucks how does it have good reviews. Only works half the time and I constantly have to restart it
Horrible
Tuner can barely hear guitar but I get so many different keys
Low strings.
On the lower strings the app seems to have a REALLY hard time hearing and tuning it
Good and bad
It works great on guitars and I’m 10 years old and I tried it on my grandma’s ukulele and a string broke and she just bought it today so now I’m going to be in big trouble all because of this stupid app
