1. ★★★★★tuner misidentifies strings and notes

   Another trash tuning app. Everything costs money that I don’t have, so I thought how nice is it that fender has an app with a free tuning feature? I don’t have the money to buy a tuner right now, thank god for them. Except this trash app doesn’t even work. It can’t figure out what cord I’m plucking and violently bounces between chords. I’m scared the string is going to break while I’m doing it because that’s how much back and forth BS is happening. I’m over it. Nothing I do to correct it works. This thing is so garbage I wouldn’t even wipe with it. A grand waste of time this was.

2. ★★★★★tuner misidentifies strings and notes

   My experience with this app. Whenever I’m trying to do a custom tune it thinks my fifth string is my sixth string

3. ★★★★★accurate and easy free tuner

   Nope. Removed and replaced, not going to support this type of company, period.

4. ★★★★★accurate and easy free tuner

   I got a electric guitar for my birthday and tuner sucks. I pressed the low e string and it made a terrible noise

5. ★★★★★accurate and easy free tuner

   fender may sue you. be careful if you use this app with non fender guitars

6. ★★★★★accurate and easy free tuner

   Trash. The app doesn’t pick up my d, a, b, g, or high e strings

7. ★★★★★accurate and easy free tuner

   Trash. It was trying to make all my strings sound the same. Worthless

8. ★★★★★poor performance with bass guitar

   Can’t handle bass tuning. I think malware would be a more productive use of my storage space

9. ★★★★★accurate and easy free tuner

   This app don’t know ***%*%*. This thing can’t tell a tune worth jack

10. ★★★★★custom tuning fails to save

    Custom tuning broken. Are you ever going to fix the custom tuning feature? I still get an error every time even after several updates.

11. ★★★★★string snaps from over-tuning

    do NOT get this.. yeah don’t download this app, i was tuning my newly bought guitar, it was great until the g string came up and it said i needed to keep tuning it so i did. it kept saying to tune it higher so i did then it snapped my guitar string instantly?!? even though the app literally said it needed to be way tighter. i now have to pay 50 bucks to get it repaired at a shop. so please do not get this app just go and get it tuned if your a new beginner and dont know how to do it.

12. ★★★★★accurate and easy free tuner

    worst tuner app. barley picks up sound and im basically manually tuning it more than the app.whats the pont of having a tuner app if im js going to manually tune the whole time

13. ★★★★★tuner misidentifies strings and notes

    Genuinely worst app ever made. Tuning sucks, very terrible and does not properly pick up any goddamn string you pluck and instead just shows whichever string it thinks your idiotic hand plucked

14. ★★★★★string snaps from over-tuning

    Worst tuning app I have ever used. I was tuning my guitar to standard tuning and It kept on telling me to tune my string higher and while I was tuning it my string broke because this app told be to tune higher. Also it doesn’t pick up the sound easily.

15. ★★★★★accurate and easy free tuner

    Doesn’t work. It worked the first time I used it and now it says it needs microphone access for auto tune to work. I click on and it takes me to a settings page that has no microphone info. I go to the microphone setting on iPhone under security and Fender tuner is not in the apps requesting access list. I have reinstalled it and it still doesn’t work.

16. ★★★★★poor performance with bass guitar

    Never works. I play bass, and whenever i try and use this app it never tunes right, rarely picks up the strings, and when it does pick up its either not the right string or it doesn’t tune it right. Would not use.

17. ★★★★★string snaps from over-tuning

    this app sucks. i kept tuning down in my ukulele like it said and my string popped! i am a beginner so i had no idea it was about to pop but it did. do not tune with this app.

18. ★★★★★string snaps from over-tuning

    Terrible tuner. Great tuner won’t pick up on the b string and keeps telling you to tune up until it snaps, great work

19. ★★★★★string snaps from over-tuning

    E string broke. Broke my e string said it need to be higher but my guitar was already in tune don’t won’t be using app again.

20. ★★★★★string snaps from over-tuning

    bad. hardly registers notes being played when tuning, often mistakes them for other notes. i’ve had guitar stings nearly snap because this app

21. ★★★★★accurate and easy free tuner

    Dumb app. This stupid app sucks if I could give it a zero I would it doesn’t even play the right cord

22. ★★★★★accurate and easy free tuner

    Not that great. I kept trying to tune my guitar and it kept saying I was either sharp or to low, and even if my guitar note was not playing, it would just automatically give me a checkmark for the right note and after I kept doing it, even if it was all tuned up, it would still say I was to sharp or to low

23. ★★★★★accurate and easy free tuner

    God awful app. This app is TERRIBLE!! Never tunes it correctly, genuinely deleted the second I got it.

24. ★★★★★string snaps from over-tuning

    Bad app. I broke my guitar string

25. ★★★★★features locked behind subscription

    Useless without subscription. Useless app unless you have a subscription. Tried to use it for tuning our 6 string tenor ukulele but it can't do it unless we pay. No thanks.

26. ★★★★★accurate and easy free tuner

    Worst I’ve ever used. By far the worst guitar tuner all I’ve ever used. Highly inaccurate. As soon as it indicates you’re all tuned up, try all the strings again, they’re off. Idk if it’s just extraordinarily finicky or if it just has no idea what pitch is and is using it’s best guess. Horrible app, and disappointing considering the brand behind it. Guess they really don’t make stuff like they used to… no wonder nobody wants a new fender and everybody’s looking for a good deal on one made before your grandpa.

27. ★★★★★accurate and easy free tuner

    Terrible. the tuner system is so bad this is the worst tuning app i’ve ever used

28. ★★★★★custom tuning fails to save

    terrible. cannot save custom tunings gives error everytime

29. ★★★★★accurate and easy free tuner

    poo. simply will not let me save costom tunings whatsoever

30. ★★★★★string snaps from over-tuning

    i hate this app. i’ve broken 3 strings 3 different times trying to tune my guitar this app is horrible at telling the different strings apart and will tell you to keep tightening a string till is brakes because it just isn’t picking up the sound right unbelievable
