Guitar Tuner - Chromatic
authentic ratingWhen it works it is a simple free tuner that suits beginners, and some people have kept it for over ten years. But for many the needle jumps around wildly and picks up random notes even in silence, and it sometimes freezes so hard that only restarting the phone helps. One person even complained the camera stopped working on an iPhone 8 after installing it.
