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 purchase it. Now that it is subscription for premium and broken in the ad subsidized version, I'm looking for other options.

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 almost completely useless. I wish they had never changed. Looks like I'll just have to take my Korg TM-60 everywhere to get reliable results.

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 got so frustrated trying to figure out the new interface that I just uninstalled it. It didn't change for years and now the creators have gotten greedy. I'm incredibly disappointed.

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. I'll gladly pay for another one that lets me know I need to right up front.

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. I am fine with paying for an app, but this type of thing should not be a subscription. $2.99 a month makes no sense since there are so many other tuning apps out there. Make it a one time fee and maybe I'll re-download this.

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 app and continue to pay per month. Absurd. Recommend Bandmate Chromatic Tuner. Free, unencumbered, and fully functional.

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 way when time is absolutely critical... There are more tuners than you can count out there. try another!

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 price is an expensive ask ($30/yr!), making my choice to find another app instead obvious. I just wanted a tuner.

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 of the strings, and would freeze up frequently. I had to delete it - way too many bugs now

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 that's what it all boils down to; customer experience. If you fail at that then you just fail.
