Use to be the absolute best tuner. Now the free version frequently dosen’t show the bar to tell where you at for tuning. Useless without that. Changing the instrument sometimes gets it going but still has much slower response than it used to be. If it worked like it use to, I’d be happy to […]

This was a great app until they made it a subscription based app. I used to use it for multiple instruments every day. Invested in some high quality tuners, so I hadn’t used it in a few years. I came back because I needed a quick portable solution and it’s “free” to use, but it’s […]
I’ve used this app to tune all my instruments for YEARS. It was simple and effective and that’s why I used it… now it’s been completely redesigned to basically not work unless you go for a very expensive ($30 ANNUALLY) premium. It literally doesn’t even tell you how close to pitch your instrument is anymore. […]
I’m done with this app. I’ve uses it for years, it was free and worked great and I told everybody to download it. Now, nothing but notifications, pop-ups, ads and more ads, and they want a subscription? I would have considered buying it outright if it was $10 or less, but a subscription, no thanks. […]
The app was perfect until they started to include ads that make it very difficult to use. I was in a rehearsal last night and I had to see an ad before I tuned. Only problem is that I had very poor internet connection so the ad wouldn’t load, making it so I couldn’t tune. […]
This app in the “lite” version was great until they recently added advertising. Now they want a MONTHLY payment to get rid of advertising and add features which are not necessary. If they want to charge for the app, fine. But I want to own it out right. I do not want to rent the […]
this app was the best until the latest upgrade. You opened it, tuned instruments, start playing and it was perfect. Now it has blockers ads, pop-ups with no work arounds, have to close and reopen, and now they appear both on opening and closing. I’ll be moving on to something that doesn’t get in the […]
App has become bloated and intrusive. Just what you want when you want to tune before a rehearsal: a long boot time followed by a loud video ad, and THEN the tuner. I understand the pressure to monetize, but it’s sad to see a wonderfully simple app get so far from its roots. The pro […]
This used to be a great app, but after the latest update it took way too long to load – it always seemed like it was freezing up, but it seems to have just been taking a long time to load the ads. After that, it works struggle to register and respond to the sound […]
Paid for a premium version years ago, like back in 2012. Came back to find that version removed and only this subscription based version available. Luckily through my purchase history I can still access the old version which is in my opinion a far better experience than this, and at the end of the day […]
This app used to be great, but now it’s filled with obstructive pop-up ads. Some of the ads don’t even have a way to close them, forcing you to restart the app until you get a new ad that you can close. This wastes a huge amount of time. Some of the ads are also […]
Good tuner, for sure, fast, really good noise filtering, shows the complete name of note (A4 vs just A on others) but… really? full screen ads *with sound* (yes, ads with videos that include sound, imagine that just before or *during* a presentation!), followed by smaller ads, which are “ok”. I do not normally mind […]
Used to be a useful and faulty accurate tuner. It’s always had ads and I don’t mind that in a free app until they interfere with the functionality of the app. It used to open directly to the tuner. Now, it opens to a home menu with the tuner as one option. Click any of […]
As a music educator, I recommended this app to hundredS of students every year. Between the introduction of ads and lack of one time purchase price, I will now actively *discourage* hundredS of families every year from utilizing this app. I am extremely disappointed an ad-free version for a one time fee is unavailable. It […]
I was not aware of the subscription when it came out of my account. I am pretty tech savvy and I searched throughout the app and could not find out how to unsubscribe, nor anyone I can contact. Not that the subscription hurt me financially, I just do not want anyone else to make the […]
the ads make this app not with the time. I spend longer waiting for a an ad to pay than I do turning. Update: So for about three months, the ad placement didn’t suck, and you could use the app and live with the ads. Then it tanked again. Now there’s ads that start playing […]
This was a phenomenal app. I gladly bought the pro version years ago, and would have gladly donated or something if asked. Instead after being the only tuner I ever needed for years, I update my phone and the pro version is gone; I’m not going to pay for it again, not because it’s not […]
Functionality-wise, this is easily the best tuner app, and I have yet to find another one that compares. I like how this tells you what each string is at instead of other apps that make you pick a specific tuning to start with. However, the free version is almost unusuable and the premium price makes […]
Easy to use, acurate, great tuning app! Lost a star when they added all the ads, though. I used to open the app, tune, and get to playing. Now I open the app, get through an ad (sometimes two), and if I have to switch instruments, I might have another ad before I can actually […]
Start up is pretty slow, really I don’t wish to see a guitar drawn three times. Hopefully the layer of ads before getting to the tuner goes away with a paid version. However, I don’t want to pay a recurring subscription…but I cannot tell from the description if it’s once or recurring. Also I tuned […]
