1/5Needs Some Work
Tuning a guitar isn't easy in my opinion and this application doesn't help. I have attempted to tune mine and the app continues to freeze on me. It jumps around from string to string and doesn't allow me, as far as I am concerned, to pick which string I am tuning within the app. If it was improved, I would greatly appreciate it.

5/5Great App
I was cleaning up my apartment today, when I all of a sudden had an itch to play my guitar which had been lying in a corner for about a year. I cleaned it and re-strung it, and then realized I had no tuner. (The last tuner I had was a windows app called guitar tuner, on a computer I hadn't booted in years). So, I decided to download an iPhone tuner app. I first downloaded another tuner app before getting this one, and couldn't figure how the heck to use it. Then, I got this one, and within about a minute, I had my guitar perfectly tuned. The interface is very simple and intuitive, and there are alternate guitar tunings available, although, I probably won't be using those any time soon. The only comment I have to the developer is that they should make the app force the iPhone into an always on state, as currently, the iPhone screen dims every 20 seconds, requiring a tap on the screen to un-dim. Otherwise, a great app well worth a few bucks. Thank you!

5/5Great app for anyone used to a strobe tuner
This is a very accurate tuner. I don’t really use the course tuner part as much as the strobe at the top. I own a Peterson Strobe tuner and have checked the accuracy of this application against my Peterson and was very impressed. It does have problems in high noise areas, but all tuners do. I manually select the string if it’s having problems. BTW Peterson Strobe $135 so $5 is well worth it.

4/5Does Not Work Well With 1st Model iPhone
Don't get this program for the 1st model iPhone. The strobe section blinks on and off in about 1/2 second intervals. I tried contacting tech support, but they didn't provide much help. I tried reinstalling the program, but it didn't resolve the problem. However, it did work correctly with my son's newest model iPhone 3G. I recommend not getting this program until they resolve this blinking problem I downloaded the update that suppose to fix the problem, and it now works properly; the strobe section doesn't blink anymore. Thanks for correcting the problem Hotpaw.

5/5Works fine now
I've been using this for going on 3 years now under iOS 5 and now 6. I've not had a problem with it crashing and when I'm through my git is in good tuning.
