Review
This is a cool free app that helps you tune your guitar.
Doesn’t have Bass
If you have any other instrument than a guitar don’t even bother with this app
Misleading, paid option only
I was a bit annoyed to see that it was paid only, but it said there were lessons and whatnot, so I figured I’d give the trial a go. I put in that it’s a ukulele. Apparently the lessons are only for guitar. There are free tuning apps, and I can get an inexpensive physical tuner for about the same price as one to two months of this subscription. Why should I pay for this if I have a ukulele?
Tuner locked behind a subscription
Can’t use the tuner without a subscription
Don't get this app
This app made me break my guitar string of 14 years do not get this app ever and definitely do not pay for it!!!!!
wtf
downloaded this cause it said it was free… after i downloaded it tried to make me sign up after a “3 day free trial period.” like thanks so much imma delete you know
?
I was tuning my strings normally but it kept telling me to tune up more, so I did. My string snapped. I don’t know if it was a glitch with the tuner. This is my second time breaking a string because of this same issue.
Not free
Gay
Seriously?
I’m sorry, with all due respect, this app is absolutely horrible. It said I played it wrong when I didn’t, and would only say I played it perfect when i purposely played it wrong. It kept saying my string was in tune, then when I like strum it says it’s SUPER out of tune, and everything was just all over the place. I just wanted to learn guitar and this is what I get. And it didn’t even let me move on with the first basic steps of the lesson! Ugh, it was so infuriating!
Subscribe for tuner
Waste of money
Wants money to work not paying monthly for a tuner
Not paying a fee for a tuner waste of time downloading.
Don’t Get Scammed
They scam you into paying for the subscription for the free trial. I requested a refund immediately after purchase & was denied. Will be contacting the BBB. I got scammed out of $50. Please don’t make the same mistake.
Literally made me break my string bc it wasn’t tuned enough
Stupid
No funciona
No funciona muy bien,
A la hora de afinar no identifica muy bien la cuerdas

Bro
This is so bad work it broke my guitar
$50 per year!
I could buy a new electronic tuner every month for the rest of my life and still spend less money than this app costs.
Insane
In order to even use the basics of the app you have to subscribe which means a monthly payment of $6.99. This app used to have a free option. I guess not anymore? I’m not doing the subscribe with free trial and then cancelling it just to use a free tuner. That’s insane.
Pay to tune?
The world was much simpler when a tuner was accessible. Deleted this app because accessibility is more important than pay walls. Maybe you should make the tuner aspect free for all and only have to pay for extra features. You’re going to lose users to other free apps. Sorry but I have deleted your app and will be going elsewhere.
Was good now lame
Standard tuning only or you pay. There are plenty of tuning apps out there with lots and lots of features that are free. You have to pay for drop D tuning!?!?? LAME. And it doesn’t even say higher or lower. Lazy greedy developers
Terrible it thinks a E string is an A string
Terrible
Decent
The app is alright when it comes to tuning and learning basic notes, but it’s definitely aggravating. I don’t expect it to be perfect but when charging for such an app it should meet basic expectations. Playing the correct notes but it won’t pick up so I’m constantly replaying the same note and half of the time it just won’t work. It’s a good app if you need to tune but trying to learn is super aggravating.
This app is mid
This app will teach you notes but it is hard to keep up because the app shows you how to play a note for like 3 seconds then the app tells you to play it in a rhythm right after which is hard to do as a beginner. But if you just want the app for a tuner that part works perfectly.
Great for tuning
You can tune your Ukulele with this app perfectly. However, there is nothing else this app offers unless you have a guitar.
Good but not accurate towards (12 strings yes I put it on the mode)
So this was good at first until the app dosnt know what string is witch and makes me re tune all of my strings over and over cause it dosnt know it’s not the right string and snaps my string thanks👍
My string popped
Used it on my ukulele and it worked perfectly for g,c and e but it just kept telling me to tune it up for a until my string popped
