An editorial reading of the saved reviews
The main plus is that the tuner is free and needs no forced sign-up, and it is accurate for basic tunings. The weak spot is that on low strings it darts between notes and stubbornly reads the low E as G or B, stretching tuning into minutes. Custom tunings work sometimes and break other times, and rare tunings like drop A are missing.

What users experience
3 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
It set my guitar so high that the strings broke and I had to replace them. So it has uses for things other than its namesake.
When I want to tune the low E string the app identifies the chord as G or B. Improvements: make the app so when you tune let's say low E the tuner sticks to E instead of bouncing around and identifying as other chords.
Only lets me do a couple of tunings can’t tune to drop A.
