1. 5/5I 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!!

2. 4/5Good app, sometimes gets messed up

   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.

3. 2/5Used 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.

4. 4/5The perfect bedroom and basement guitarist app

   I've been playing guitar for about 5 years, first day I started when I looked up guitar tuner this came up. After about a year, I eventually bought the full upgrade for a random discounted price. This app has helped me so much. My go-to for anything in my room. I love this app not only because it can do guitar, but also because it can do literally any stringed instrument. With the full version I can customize my own tunings to fit anything I need. Since I first started playing guitar I also started the Uke. I could easily tune it with this. On a vacation I ended up buying an interesting Turkish instrument called a Cura (a type of Baglama). After doing some tuning research I was able to tune it with this app. Another use for this app is when I drive to a local guitar store, often the guitars I try out and mess around with are out of tune, almost all of them are at least ever so slightly out of tune. I can quickly whip out my phone and tune it instantly so I can mess around without having to ask an employee for help. I highly recommend this app. I only rate it 4 stars because it's not perfectly accurate, and sometimes it's way too sensitive and catches some random vibration or something far away I can't hear while I'm trying to tune and goes to -500 or something. But this is understandable because it's using my phones speakers. Other than that it's really useful! Even the free version has the standard tuning, which is perfect for anyone that doesn't want to experiment or do any down tuning songs. It's way cheaper than the cheapest and most basic physical tuner, Snark Tuner. It's also way more versatile and easy to use! Highly recommended! Thanks GuitarTuna

5. 1/5Overly capitalized and bloated

   It’s a guitar tuner app. You use it to tune your guitar. You’d think that would be enough as it is but no, they have to blow it up with frankly laughable amounts of bloatware, useless features, and paywalls. Like seriously, who’s the genius who thought it would be cool to lock tunings behind a subscription paywall? Not just a paywall - a subscription one. They literally want you to pay a recurring fee for the privilege of tuning your guitar to some tunings. Or to use the chromatic tuning mode like if you wanted to check your intonation for example. And the bloatware, holy smokes. Devs, it’s a tuning app. Leave it at that and just make a separate app for everything that’s not related to tuning my guitar. The sheer volume of bloatware in this app means it is slow to start up and then you have to X out of one or more popups trying to sell you on more features you never asked for in your tuning app. Also, why on earth does my tuner app need to track my location by across platforms? Someone please explain this to me. Oh yeah, the advertising. Why do we need to generate so much money from advertising? Because we sunk so much in development resources implementing all this bloatware and useless features and now we need to sell your data to make up for it. Never in my life did I think I would say the phrase “my guitar tuner sells my data to advertisers for profit” but here we are.

5. 1/5

   Previously thought this app was fantastic and purchased the premium edition back when it was a one time payment. Now I have been locked out of these premium features and cannot restore my purchases. For the brief window when I could restore my purchases, every time I launched the app I would again be locked out of the premium features. Now I can't access them at all. Such a disappointment to see the app heading in this direction.
