Acoustic Tuner
doubtful ratingA waveform tuner that a blind musician loved for Voiceover support, and some like matching waves visually without it touching their contacts. But the auto mode, the core feature, misreads the string and sends people tightening the wrong string the wrong way, to the point of snapping strings. Others find it too inaccurate and confusing, and the glowing reviews rarely explain what exactly they praise.
Reviews are polarized, many rapturous fives with no specifics sit next to one-stars about constantly misidentified strings, and textAvg 3.39 is well below storeAvg 3.92 with pct5 just 48. There is an odd five-star not about the app at all, which adds to the doubt.
