Clunky
I’m so mad I bought this app. It’s like an arcade game. The interface is clunky and filled with too many things.
I’m trying to tune my cello, not land an airplane.

App is broken after update
Please fix as soon as possible. Reinstalling the app doesn't work. Just immediately crashes when I try to open it.

Hate the new opening screen
Take the emojis away it looks so cheesy
Not accessible for blind users
How I wish I could use this app like sided musicians can. It’s a shame that it’s not set up better for blind musicians. It looks very powerful.
Too confusing
I don’t understand why can’t just start playing and the understand what instrument I need to tune, a pitch. Having to calibrate “temperment” then also how it’s suppose to transpose??? It never works properly. I’m wasting far too much time calibrating the tuner when I should be practicing.
Great when it works
Tuning quits working. I deleted and reloaded before. Hope that works again today.
Overrides other apps
I've used this tuner for years with no issues until recently. Now if I try to play a sound file this tuner takes over from the iPhone's audio player.
To add insult to injury the tuner is unable to play the files. I had to delete it before I could play sound files again.
It was a great tuner. Now that it's also trying to be a sound file player and failing, it's destructive junk.

Software gore ruining and otherwise great app
The app works great for its intended purpose, but it completely breaks my files app for some reason. Any file I tap on immediately opens total energy. I don’t know why so I have to delete it.
adequate not great
lacks necessary customizability
