I really like this app!!

I've never personally tuned a guitar,- I've always had to have someone tune it for me when I briefly owned several guitars many years ago. At the time, I had bought them for my (now) ex husband so he was the one who always tuned them. But unfortunately, when I eventually left him- He got rid of them all instead of giving them to me since I paid for all of them. So needless to say, I've never really had the chance to learn how to play much at all. Recently, I was given another guitar from my sister, & knew I needed to learn how to tune it so I downloaded this app. I find it extremely easy to use & very helpful. Now I can tune my guitar (& maybe??) FINALLY learn how to play like I've always wanted too!! I LOVE Music & have to listen to it daily, it's my "Escape" from the world, my life, & all the problems or stresses that I might face daily. I've always wanted to learn how to play for as long as I can remember, so that I could eventually learn to play (at least some??) of the songs I love to listen to everyday or maybe even some that I grew up listening to as a kid. I'm thankful for this app so I can begin my journey towards reaching my goal/dream of learning how to play guitar & music. Thank you for making this app so very easy!! I Love It!!

Good app, sometimes gets messed up

If I’m being honest,
Used to be a really cool app and I loved it, but after a while the number of ads just became ridiculous. I get the developers need money but still, I had to watch an ad after every song. Then features were taken away so we have to pay for them. I still used it, but then it signed me out or something after I didn’t use it for a while. Now it doesn’t work at all anymore. AT ALL. It requires me to allow microphone access but I’ve tried literally everything for more than 30 minutes straight and haven’t been able to do anything about it. It won’t even let me in the app now. This seems like poor app management because it doesn’t show up in the settings as wanting the microphone, so I am unable to do ANYTHING. This is really frustrating and a huge waste of time. If anyone can help then great it’s still a fine app, even with the ad revenue and restricted features. It just literally won’t let me in at all anymore. Update: I didn’t use the app for a while and realized how much better it is than other ones I found and tried. The microphone FINALLY works which made me really happy now that I can use the app I’m used to. Ads aren’t even that big of an issue if you aren’t constantly switching from song to song. Would definitely recommend.

Used to be a good app

This app used to be a good tuner but now it’s bloated with useless features and a subscription. This is the problem with these types of developers, can’t leave well enough alone. They think they are doing a great thing by bloating the software and adding a subscription. Could you imagine paying a subscription to a tuning device bought at the music store? I want a comprehensive tuner, not games and play along lessons. Split the app in two. A separate tuner and a subscription based teaching app. If I remember correctly, it was a small fee to pay for a different kind of tuning like drop D. I would be happy just to pay a small fee for a particular tuning and be able to keep that. A subscription for a tuner is cost-ineffective. I’m starting to think this app was designed by a physical tuner company pushing you back into buying and using a physical tuning device. I am not going to pay a subscription just to get drop A tuning for my seven string guitar. It’s not going to happen because I’m not using any of the other functions. I’m not attempting any free trial that tricks you into actually subscribing either. Cut the fat and make a simple tuning app without the bloated features. I’ve noticed a handful of reviews being lowered, because users from the app’s early days have come back and found the bloated app with a subscription to be less than satisfactory.

The best guitar tuner I’ve ever used! No exceptions.

Why? Let me count the ways…- Pops right up when I need it, whether at a gig, or just jamming with family and friends. - Super accurate. I found out that I needed to make some adjustments to my truss rod and shave down some of my frets because after tuning with the app, I could hear slight sharpness and/or flatness on the bottom 3 strings: G, B, and E. After making slight adjustments, my guitar sounded awesome! Now where can you find an app to help you get proper intonation. Guitar Tuna of course! For serious and advanced players, intonation is everything!- Best of all, it’s in my back pocket! I don’t have to dig around in my guitar case to find a clip on tuner—which many times are not there—or plug a in an in-line tuner to my pedals making it more cumbersome to use, not to mention additional distortion. I just pull out my phone, open the app, and in less than 1 minute (30 seconds if you use it often) I am 100% sure that my guitar is perfectly tuned! After that, I go do my thing. 😎
