User Reviews for Fender Guitar Tuner

Overall a lot you can do, but ran into one issue

I love that this app has lots of different tuning options, e.g. open tunings, and half step down for my vintage instruments. Overall has worked pretty great for me. Recently had one semi-major unfortunate experience that set me back though. Somehow after updating the app everything was tuning roughly a half step too sharp on all strings. I discovered this after lots of frustration and trying to get tuned in key with my harmonica. It was so tough to figure out what was going wrong. I even bought a new harmonica thinking mine was out of key. I’m sure Fender will find this software bug and fix it soon. So 5 stars since it’s the only drawback after years with the app

Cool app, but…

This is is a nice app. I love the drum tracks and all the different resources available. I only wish the app was a bit more bass friendly. The only place you can choose the bass instrument is when tuning, and there’s only options for 4 string bass tuning. Obviously you don’t need this app to tune your bass to certain notes but, it would be nice if the options were available. When it comes to chords and scales, the bass is nowhere to be found. Bass chords and scales exist!! But other than the lack of bass utility in the app, which is the only drawback on this app, it is fantastic. I’ll definitely continue to use it, mainly for the drum tracks and metronome. Add some more bass utility!! 5 and 6 string included!

Made me break a string!

This app was great! When it worked! It’s always broken, either it doesn’t detect noise at all, thinks you’re playing a strong your not playing, or makes you tune way beyond what it is! I tried to tune my guitar and it said the e string wasn’t low enough so tunes lower, still not good, ok so even lower then, still not good, I tune lower and the string breaks because the app mislead me! When it DID work which was rarely, it was great! This was just the final straw for me, I only ever used this app because it was free but I think the creators know that and know no matter how many times people complain they’ll still get downloads, and I’m not the first one to complain about this, it’s been complained about for a year now! Has it been fixed? Nope, until this is fixed I’m never coming back to this app nor will I change this review (like the developers care anyways) and I’m definitely warning my friends not to use this either.

kinda annoying

Hi, my name is Wren and I am ten years old. I have just started playing guitar and I needed a tuner. I got this one because it had top reviews. At first I thought that the app was not working because I didnt know how to use it, but now I realized it has some problems. First, it is annoying that you have to pay to have the good tuner. Like, you payed for the guitar so why have to pay for the app (or why would you have to pay for the good tuner). Second when you are using the tuner it is a pain on how you cant tell the app to tune one of the strings instead of it figuring it out (it dosnt even pick the right string). Third can I just say how unrealistic the chords are for this tuner than a real one. I once at home tuned it with the app then did a lesson and they had to fix the tuning( you might be thinking “dont you know it can go flat”. Yes I do know but it was the same pitches as when I tuned it at home). The app is not worth getting, just buy a real tuner. Im not trying to be rude to the creators I just want to warn people before they get the app. - Wren

Good But Please Fix This For Safety Of All Guitars

This is a great app. When tuning, you get it right every time with this app. However, I believe this one thing needs to be addressed because I don’t know if this has happened to anyone else. I recently just got a Jackson Bass Guitar, and as of writing this post I had it for not even 3 hours. I used the app and the Rumble 25 amp that Fender also built to tune it. I was tuning my G string and it was saying it was still -49cts when out of no where, the guitar string just broke. Now I have to drive back 20 miles to get my brand new guitar restringed, and add to the near $800 bucks I’ve spent on it alone. I don’t know if this has happened to anyone else, but I do think that this needs to be addressed. Something needs to be done so Bass Guitars are easier to tune. Other than that, this app really is great.

Works mostly fine

I use this app to tune my guitar occasionally, and usually it works fine, but only when I do it using the manual. The auto tuner which is the tuner that tells you when you have the right note does not work very well. For example, say I tune my guitar down a half step then I want to go back to standard tuning, so I use the tuner and it says that I have the right note for each one, then I go back through each note and it says “tune up” or “tune down”. That being said, the manual tuner is a great tool. With the manual tuner you just press the string on the screen and then it will play the sound so then you would try to match your string to that sound. It is good because it is reliable and you just have to listen to it and figure out if you have the right note, which helps train your brain so eventually you won’t need a tuner anymore. So the automatic tuner doesn’t work very well, but the manual tuner is a great tool. Overall it’s a fine app.

Outstandingly accurate

This app is incredible. I have two acoustic guitars and one has a built in tuner, but the other does not and I still have not purchased a tuner for it so I have been unable to play it. Well, thanks to this app, I was able to tune it nicely using the auto tune feature. I was quite surprised at how accurate the tune detection is and how it can recognize the difference between you plucking a string and any background noise around you (I was actively talking while tuning and even double checked that it tuned correctly and it did). This definitely deserves 5 stars. Of course it won’t be as accurate as a normal tuner, but it can definitely get pretty close!

It used to be better.

This app used to work really well for me, but over the past year or two, I’ve had problem after problem with it. So much of the time it won’t give me any info on where my tuning is. I’ll see the decibel meter working at the bottom, but nothing shows up to tell me how to tune. Other times it shows up, but it thinks I’m tuning high e, when I’m really tuning the A string. Then, and this happens 9 times out of 10, it gets stuck on the high e string and I have to close the app to get it to recognize other strings. I always make sure I have absolute silence when using this, so that it only hear the guitar, but even then it doesn’t always recognize what I’m playing.

Quick and clean tune each time works for me!

Out of tune never works. I've never developed an ear for tuning just right. I have an old dreadnaught with medium gauge "oh-maybe-nylon wrapped with metal" strings or something -- I threw the package away -- all from before the dawn of time. I get an excellent tune in about 2 minutes with Fender-tune. I've little experience with the broad range of options out there. I'm too busy playing my guitar to look far right now. I'm so ashamed -- but not really -- this product works very well for now. What I mostly need is perhaps the ability to quickly tune to a better frequency -- but later -- for now I play for pleasure, and this product gives me more pleasure than any electronic tuner I've used. When well tuned, my guitar nearly plays itself.

It’s fender quality for fender guitars

It does what it should do and more to help beginning guitar players get a feel for their new guitar. I’m assuming the reviewers finding problems with the auto tuner have bad mic quality in their phones, or are plucking the strings sloppily, coupled that with the finicky auto tuner feature with the app itself. A good tip for those using the auto tuner to save time: if the tuner is giving you weird and mixed responses, don’t continue to tighten or loosen up the strings or else you’ll accidentally break your string because the auto tuner is stuck on telling you your string is too flat. Check instead with the manual tuner to see where you’re at with tuning your guitar and then go back to the auto tuner. Hopefully this helps you keep your guitar in proper condition and save you the hassle of buying more strings. Waste more time being careful with the tuner instead of wasting money buying new strings.
