  1. ★★★★other

    Ukulele. Not even close

  2. ★★★★apple watch support is broken

    Not worth it for me. The watch app doesn’t work. Complains about missing sound file. But even if it worked as designed, I don’t like having to record and save to find out if it’s in tune. Too tedious. I am looking specifically for a watch app.

  3. ★★★★apple watch support is broken

    Doesn't work on ultra 2 watch. Title says it all. I cannot use it on the Ultra 2 watch as of Jan 2024.

  4. ★★★★inaccurate tuning, pitches too sharp

    Terrible. i was trying to tune my guitar and it kept saying to tighten it till my strings broke

  5. ★★★★inaccurate tuning, pitches too sharp

    It’s sharp. If I tune to the app, then everything is at least a half, if not a whole note sharp of what it should be. I tested it against several different sources. Always the same thing and made me tune sharp. If the app can’t get that right, then this is useless.

  6. ★★★★inaccurate tuning, pitches too sharp

    My ear is better than this App.. Wack.

  7. ★★★★constant ad and review-nag popups

    Wasted my time. You can’t even get something tuned before you need to read it. See the ad or upgrade. No thanks.

  8. ★★★★inaccurate tuning, pitches too sharp

    Way off. Tuning is way off by about 10mhz, confirmed with 3 other tuner apps

  9. ★★★★inaccurate tuning, pitches too sharp

    My ears are bleeding. I am looking for a tuning app and I found this one It had seemingly good reviews but when I tried to tune it after I was done, all my strings make ringing sounds, needless to say, I deleted the app

  10. ★★★★inaccurate tuning, pitches too sharp

    Terrible. i used to to tune my guitar and i just knew that what it was saying was right was way too high, so i downloaded 2 more tuners to check. All of them said that the way this app tuned my guitar was way too high and then as soon as i started tuning it down my strings snapped. Terrible don’t download. Oh and also it’s really annoying that it oaks for a rate every 10 seconds

  11. ★★★★apple watch support is broken

    Needs phone to tune. Needs phone to tune. Why don't earth would be the point to download an app for the watch but then needing to have your phone? Ridiculous

  12. ★★★★apple watch support is broken

    Not a tuner for your watch. This is not a stand alone tuner for your watch. You have to have the app open on your phone.

  13. ★★★★inaccurate tuning, pitches too sharp

    Too sharp. Someone in your tech department would have known that the guitar tuning is too sharp by this time….if they don’t ,can’t or won’t …well what can I say

  14. ★★★★other

    Doesn't work, constantly nags for rating so here, have one.. Trying to find an app that'll show me the Hz of the detected tone on screen. That's it. I'll work the tuning out from there. Actually, I'm trying to tune belt tension in a machine using the frequency of the strum. But the manufacturer doesn't recommend a specific app :( This app just sits there saying 440Hz all the time, and nothing on the screen changes when strumming the belt. No indication that anything is wrong. No suggestion on how to improve to get a reading. No idea what the app wants me to do to make it do its job.

  15. ★★★★inaccurate tuning, pitches too sharp

    Ok, but shouldn’t it get the notes right?. Free version, if that matters. I finally got my acoustic low E “in tune” with this app, and it registered as an F against all my other tuners, and just based on listening and manual tuning. Play an “E” from YouTube and see how well it does…all of YouTube is out of tune!

  16. ★★★★inaccurate tuning, pitches too sharp

    Not accurate.. I have the app on an iPhone and noted it tuned my guitar sharp. Loaded a fender tuning ap that then brought it back down. Noted the frequency of this ap was indicating about 10 hz down for every string. Verified this ap was the problem by loading a tone generator on another device. Again this app consistently showed about 10 hz below actual. I like the user interface for the app. Just wish it actually worked correctly.

  17. ★★★★apple watch support is broken

    Does not work on Apple Watch. This is supposed to work on the Apple Watch. It does not open up and my Apple Watch is updated to the latest software. Very disappointing

  18. ★★★★accurate and easy tuning

    Not good for Apple Watch. I was told this would be a good tuner for my Apple Watch. Unfortunately you have to have your Apple Watch on and your iPhone on and right next to your Apple Watch in order for this to work

  19. ★★★★inaccurate tuning, pitches too sharp

    Thank you. I should have been more patient. Learning how to play guitar and even more so, learning how to use the tuner to play guitar Before I started to break some strings by error was frustrating, and all on me. The tuner is great. I love it. And it's free. You should try it.

  20. ★★★★other

    This app is the worst. Told me to keep. Tightening it at it made go so tight I broke the string

  21. ★★★★inaccurate tuning, pitches too sharp

    A full semi-tone sharp. Frequency readings are substantially incorrect. App needs to be recalibrated.

  22. ★★★★apple watch support is broken

    Plug Your Ears. If you want your E string tuned to a F, you’ll love this app. Press the E string button, tune as prompted and your E sting will be closer to a F than an E!

  23. ★★★★inaccurate tuning, pitches too sharp

    Too many addsss. Toooooooo many addddddsssss

  24. ★★★★inaccurate tuning, pitches too sharp

    Stopped working after a few days. Worked for a few days then acts as it has no access to the microphone. Tried turning mic access off and back on, but it didn’t help. It just became deaf.

  25. ★★★★accurate and easy tuning

    Out of pitch. Its a full note higher than it should be.

  26. ★★★★accurate and easy tuning

    Cant set hz for a4. His only seems to run at 440. It is useless to me if i cant set it to 441

  27. ★★★★accurate and easy tuning

    DON’T GET THIS APP. It tunes my ukulele and viola about a half step sharp. The tone generator is fine, but the chromatic tuner is horrible. Only found it useful for tuning for riptide on the ukulele.

  28. ★★★★accurate and easy tuning

    I wanted to love this. When using this tuner I started breaking cello strings. I went to a luthier and showed him the app. He tested it and learned it was out of pitch on my iPhone 8, by just enough that it was telling me to tune way over pitch. Be careful using this app.

  29. ★★★★inaccurate tuning, pitches too sharp

    NOT good!. It is NOT chromatic as claimed. Ok for standard tuning but that’s it!

  30. ★★★★accurate and easy tuning

    Way off. Usually runs 20-40 hz off for violin when compared to a calibrated standard. Also ask for reviews constantly.
